hazard lights flashing randomly :-(

Morning everyone,
I've got a P reg Ford Fiesta (1.3) and twice in the last few days my neighbours have knocked on the door to tell me the hazard lights are flashing on it.
Any ideas what could be causing this, as the hazard button hasnt actually been pressed!?!
The car has central locking as well, so the lights flash once when the car is locked or opened
thanks guys x

could it be to do with the alarm (if it's got one, of course..)?0

Water in the fuse box feeding the circuit?0

Alarm..... And im going to guess at the alarms internal battery failing.
Does it happen after a particular time of the vehicle being parked/unused?“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Strider, its just parked directly outside my house on the road. It hasnt been used since Wednesday - neighbour first knocked Thurs evening and then just this morning.:j:jOur gorgeous baby boy born 2nd May 2011 - 12 days overdue!!:j:j0 -
^^ I ask because the alarms internal battery is normally charged when you use the car, so left for a period of time it can loose charge, the alarm see's this as a threat and sets about warning you.
On my 306 the alarm would sound and flash the hazards, but when it was left for a few days without use the alarm would suddenly go off without the hazards. It was a pain because nobody could figure out it was my car.
Similar but opposite maybe?“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

The alarm sounder is probably broken - alarm is activating but only the hazards are visible because the sounder has had it.
(assuming it's the type of alarm with a seperate sounder rather than using the horn)0
