Default Weird alarm, indicators issue

Hi folks.

Alarm started beeping 3 times when turning off. Then the right indicator comes on when I press kill swith. Now the fob does not disarm the alarm and I have to manually override to get bike started. In addition there are 2 wires under seat not connected to anything at all and bugger if I can find anything they may have popped out from.

Any ideas how to get fob working again and fix what I suspect is a short?

Maybe a signal to tell you your FOB battery is low.

Yep swapped the battery but no change. Weird thing is that just realised back bolt that holds seat on fell out and removed seat. Can see two really clean wires but buggered if I can find where they connect to. Seem ver clean and don't remember seeing them before.
