Default Weird electrical issue

I have noticed that when my bike sees rain, and I arm the alarm the headlight dip flashes on with the side repeaters!! It happens after the bike has been sat in the rain, so obviously it doesn't need water driven in to occur.

Obviously I must have lighting and indicator wiring bridging whilst wet somewhere.

Any common likely spots it could be, anyone?

Cheers.

Hey. It's an NCS, used to be called Cyclone on eBay. Have used on all my bikes and they're very reliable.

Cheers.

Reckon they are Dec, I use them myself , had the talking one telling people who touch it "Get the F away from this bike" have put them on a few bikes and they are easy to do, could it be water getting into a splice for the problem, and by the way ,NCS is just round the corner from me here in Morecambe

Yeah for the money they're great and will only affect battery if bike hasn't been started in over a week in cold weather. Never understood why ppl pay x5 for similar!

Yeah, maybe disconnecting it completely and reinstall will prob tell a tale
