Default Security light issue

2020 Street Glide Standard, the security light keeps turning on and off. Sometimes stays on. I just replaced the key fob battery. I just had LED passing lights and Led Front signals installed but haven't hooked up the passing light because I need a switch and waiting on a load equalizer. only the signals are currently working. So why would the security light keep coming on but sometimes intermittently? The mechanic who is Harley certified said when he went into the wiring was backwards and he fixed it, but issue didn't start until a week past him doing the work. Could be a ground issue?
About to have a tire changed because the tread is gone but wouldn't think that has anything to do with it.

Parked, the light flashes. I see in the book it says it's a faut light as well. it states that if it stays on take it to a dealer. I'd rather avoid that.

Well if you want most people to actually see what you are writing, you should pick a font color that shows up for all.

Using a "White" font just becomes invisible to everyone NOT using dark mode.
