Are you aware of the TSB for the water leak issue so prevelant in the 05's, 06's and even a bit into the 07's? It's a known cause of all kinds of electrical gremlins.

As long as you don't feed the Gremlins after 11pm, it's all fixable.

I've seen this issue only with a weak battery, you mentioned you stored it did you put it on a trickle charge for a while at least every 2 weeks? Best way to see if it's a weak batt is to get a multimeter and see what the output is it should be around 12.45 while the engine is off and 14v when on.
