Newbie here after some light shed on this issue. 

Randomlout of nowhere the alarm started going off  then the hazards wouldn't stop.

Went out after it stopped and whist driving the horn started beeping and doors started locking /unlocking ,bit no difference in driving.

In the dash it said rear left door open but it wasn't and parking brake on but again it wasn't as I was driving it.

Had to come home and disconnect the battery for an hour or so.

Went back out and connected battery and hazards are flashing so I have gad to disconnect battery again.

Any help would be appreciated 

Thankyou

Adam

    Is this an expensive fix ??

    If it is water getting in to the BCM then you can be looking at £700 or more

    It depends on how good you are at fault finding and programming a replacement BCM - If that is what the fault is.

    You really need to use FORScan and get the DTC's and see if they give some clue to the faults.
