Yes, something got wet that should not have.

If you want serious help tell us what bike and any mods.

Oh, and the word is stereo

I'm still hung over ... It's a 07 street glide and it is a kenwood blue tooth stereo. With the after market handle bar controls , I havnt had a problem with it till this morning , I have been in the rain before . I would think it is the stereo but the running light are on just in the speedo and tac..

Disconnect negative on battery, do not start or power up any more than what it is now. Wait 30 mins then reconnect and re-evaluate your situation. However, if you were caught in a torrential downpour, I'd let that bike dry out for a day or so, my 2 cents.

My first thought is you have gotten wster I to the ignition switch. Not the part you turn but the actual switch under the switch cap.
I second trying the reset by disconnecting the battery. It is entirely possible that once the bike dries out it will be fine.
If you have an FSM you can check the wiring diagrams in the back to see what all is on that circuit and the locations of each connector . It is possible one of them got water in it.
You could also try to tear down to the ignition switch and blow it out with compressed air.
