I serviced mine yesterday and changed the cabin filter, mine was bone dry with a few loose dead leafs in the bottom that I removed and checked the drain hole with a rod.

It’s a funny one, this. I’ve had my car for 3½ years now, and never had a drop of water in the plenum.
At some stage before I owned it, it's been well flooded – the corrosion inside the ECM went up several inches, as did the water mark on the pollen filter. But, because I had to rip my rusty ECM out and get the sainted Marinabrian to replace it, I do check the old plenum from time to time, and it's always bone dry. And I live in the country, surrounded by clouds of leaves, insects, bird feathers etc… they just never seem to get in and block it…

Sounds like a wire chaffing.
Trace closely the cable from the ALT to Batt (they have been known to chaff) Also measure voltage across all the heavy earth points. There shouldn't be any more than a few Milli-volts potential difference between any earth point to the next, particularly between engine, chassis and neg Batt terminal.
