Under dash looks crowded... Like something was put up in there.

Look for the diagnostic connector and see if anything is plugged into it.
If the wiring is a mess, it may have had an alarm or payment tracker installed. Sometimes the "buy here pay here" dealers install them to make sure payments get made. And when it's paid-for, the don't remove the alarms - they just disable them.

May Be a Faulty Gas Cap
I have seen those Christmas lights on the Dash soon after i bought my 08 . Well a replacement gas cap fixed it. Is your gas cap loose, mine was worn and wouldn't close tightly. I installed a new Gas Cap, disconnected the negative battery terminal. Reconnected and started the car...
It might be worth a try.

Monday69 - check your gas fill cap. If it's loose from your last fill up or the gasket is worn, those lights will come on. You may need a new gas cap - $30 from dealer. After you tighten the old gas cap or replace it with a new one, you need 5 or 6 cold starts before the lights will stay off.

Yeah, those things suck. I would leave it in place until it starts giving you problems. Trying to re-splice the wires they cut could just make reliability worse.
