CapsLock stays on and boots in safe mode EVEN after keyboard replaced

I have a water damaged Mac Air 11" A1465 (mid 2012). It will only boot to safe mode due to caps lock key stays on. After I replaced the keyboard, it booted normal once. Then it went to safe mode on next reboot. So the replaced keyboard seems functioning normally.

I took the battery out and re-seat the keyboard cable that connects to the touch pad and it was okay one more time. Reboot, it went to safe mode again.

Most likely the signals are not passing through the trackpad connection correctly (short).

So yes, I would replace the trackpad & its cable back to the main logic board.

thanks, I will order the track pad and get back to you. Hopefully, that can fix the problem.

I replaced the cable connected to the MB and it behaves the same. Then I replaced the trackpad and it is working fine for 3 days now. Thanks for your suggestion!
