Most likely water that is shorting the contacts on the switch. Had this on my Sapphire many years ago. Sprayed it with some kind of contact/moistremover and its been fine for over then years now.

Yep happened to me 2 month ago... alarm going on at 3 am!
The switch was looking just fine.. except it was on short-circuit
I've replaced it and now it's perfect. (cost about a fiver from Ford)

I've also used the pretext to add an overdrive switch on the relay to start them on (@ full speed) for the inside for track days or traffic jams..
