What we be the best way to cover the exposed wires would electric tape around each wire do it or should I wire nut each wire
If it's a 12v wire I would use wire nuts to reconnect the wires and then cover the connection with electric tape. If it is a 120v wire, Romex, I would enclose the connection in a standard electrical junction box, making sure to clamp the wires in, and make the connection with wirenuts.
If you are just covering the wires without reconnecting them, I would make sure the wire is disconnected from the power and pull it out if possible. If I couldn't pull it out I would cut it short so it cannot be reconnected. On the other end I would cut off any sharp ends and just leave the wire there. Taping it up wouldn't hurt.
