My rx8 is possessed...

Sooo i already know there is a post covering this but i still have unanswered questions about it... so heres my trouble story.

So today it was RAINING and i was driving my car home i got home parked it shut it off nothing special there. I went inside and about two hours later i came back out and my hazard lights were on. (I didnt turn them on) and when i opened the door the alarm went off it wasnt locked (i normally dont lock it anyways) and it eventually stoped but the hazards didnt i researched on here for quite a bit of time disconnected the battery in the meantime. I guess the conclusion was its something called PHANTOM HAZARDS (see it is possessed) a few people said its a mazda problem not just the rx8s. So the suspected cause of the problem is that the drain pipe from where the water falls off the windshield to the vents underneath the wipers is clogged and the water isnt draining to the tire where it should be... they say you should unclog it... it so happens to be i cant find any such thing (mazda did a good job hiding the secret drain)... so from that drain being clogged or w.e it fills up and somehow is getting from there to the main harness heading from the engine fuse box to cabin fuse box and is dripping into the connector containing the hazards alarm system and engine immobolizer and corroding it or causeing bad connection either way my immobolizer doesnt seem to bother me right now the car starts. My second problem is i cant figure out how to remove the fuse box trim without destroying anything.

So long story short:
-hazards wont shut off even after battery disconnect
- alarm will go off or horn will honk if i close drivers side door the hood or touch the fuse box.
-anyone have a diy on removing the trim without destroying it
-anyone have any other ideas on what this could be besides phantom hazards and maybe have a fix for me i can do.
