Default Security System issue 2008 RG

I had some mods done to my 2008 RG, and since then have noticed an issue with my Security System. After the bike starts, the red key on the Tach stays luminated while driving. Also, after I shut the bike down and turn the key off, the security system goes through it's normal activation mode, however I notice that my dash lights up as well, turning on the back lights & odometer reading.

The handle bars have been replaced as well as teh controls. (PM Controls) There has also been a new air ride auto leveling system installed. I am thinking that maybe a wire was tapped into improperly in either one of these two mods. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Go back to whomever did you mods and have them fix it....

Also access your DTC's, to narrow it down to whichever circuit is affected...
