986 electrical gremlins.

Hi,
I'm having a lot of electrical problems with my 2002 boxster s. It was not used all winter and the battery was flat. So I put a new battery in it and it started up perfectly.
Then about 2 miles down the road suddenly all electrics went crazy. The engine died. The hazard lights came on and the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree.
The engine will restart but it cuts out after a minute or so. The alarm also goes off constantly and the windows and central locking also have a mind of their own. Sometimes they work sometimes not.

The first thought was water in the electrics under the seat. The carpets are damp but there's no puddles. So I removed the seat and checked the circuit board. It looks perfectly clean and dry. Now I'm not sure where to look next.

Any ideas of where else I can check for water in the electrics? Or any other possible causes?
