I don't know much about these bikes, but I do know some stuff about electronics. It could be anything, but relays sometimes have N.O(normally open/off) contacts and N.C(normally closed/on) contacts. If someone accidentally plugged the light into the wrong one, it would cause the light to be on when it should be off, and vice versa. Didn't watch the entire video, so sorry if this mystery was already solved.

It’s part of owning a grom when you actually ride them. It’s hard (in the states anyway) to find a grom with “average” mileage. People either love and ride the heck out of them, or they buy them and keep them for ten years without putting 1k miles on them lol 🤷🏼♂️.
