Alarm keeps going off

Hi All.

My alarm keeps going off for no reason.
This morning it went off - i turned it off and left the car unlocked. After a few minutes it went off again. I partly opened a window and locked/armed the car/alarm - it went off again. I left the car unlocked, then, after a few minutes the car mysteriously locked itself and armed the alarm!

Then the alarm went off.

Anyone know what's going on and know how I fix it please?

Regards,

Mark.

Stray electrical frequencies can set off the alarm.
My Son's RC car could set off my alarm when he played with it near my car.

if you unlock the car but don't open a door, it will relock after a short period.

Check bonnet is latched properly.

Thanks for the info on the car locking if the door is not opened.

The battery has been on a trickle charger overnight and there has been no problems with the alarm.
