Just did a 1400 mile round trip in two hours of rain, an hour of pouring down holy crap this is really bad rain and on the way back 3 hours more stop and go multiple accidents on 75 in Atlanta pouring down rain this weekend. Someone shoot the weather man because in each instance it was an hour or two early 
After getting home and a light washing the next morning I started checking places for water and making sure dielectric grease was good. No matter how water tight they make them, water can creep in. Saddle bag locks cables, charging cable, turn signals front and back, switch housing all had water in them. Found water under the side panels too and connectors under seat.
What a mess.

As I was scrolling through this thread and noticed its 3 years old. My trip meter control is not working which is why I was reading this.

If the wash bunnies at the Harley dealer arent careful washing my bike I would have the same problem. I took my left switch pack apart at least a dozen times to remedy the problem. Ive blown dried it, used WD40, used a hair dryer, none of which anyone remedy always worked. My bike sitting in a hot garage has worked in the past as well as letting the bike sit under the Florida sun has helped as well. Ive had this issue several times over the last 2 yrs. presently its working.
Wow, never had a single issue with either switch pack and at 118K miles. I love my bike! I am on the fence about replacing them with lighted ones when I change bars, but not sure I want the light in my face in the dark. The only issues with my current ones is they are not as pretty as they used to be.
