If the lights are also flashing, it's likely the anti-theft. Mine has been doing the same thing occasionally, usually when it's wet out. Drives my wife crazy, so had been leaving it unlocked in the yard. I recently glued a penny to the hood where it pushes on the hood sensor - seems to have helped since have been locking it again w/o it sounding off. If it starts again, will just unplug the hood sensor since it appears to be "normally open" with the hood closed. Good luck.
