Weird Electrical Gremlin

[T Stephen lewis]

I left the back of the roof glass open at night and we had a huge rain storm, in the morning I had about 1" rain on the driver's side floor. I tried to get most of this out with towels.

When I leave the car parked after about an hour or less the brake light and rear lights and all the dash lights come on for no apparent reason. The car does run fine and have continued to try and dry the floor out but this still happens. I now have to disconnect the battery whenever I leave it anywhere.

I would really appreciate anyone's help to figure out what to do next or if anyone has had this really annoying problem occur with their Mini.

There are some electrical components under the front seats, you need to check whats there and if everything is thoroughly dry, sounds like a short from dampness??
