You must have had a spill into the keyboard so the signal lines are damaged shorting out.

Think of it this way… Your keyboard is a grid of horizontal and vertical lines. The point where they cross is the Key shorting them to make the given signal to the keyboard encoder. This is all done within the keyboard.

Sadly, Apple does not design its newer keyboards as serviceable. Time for a new keyboard ;-{
