Everytime I lock my car, after 10 - 15 mins or so, the car starts beeping with hazards on.

Not quite sure what is going on, all the doors and windows are shut confused

Anyone got any ideas ?

Have you left a child or animal in there?

Sorry, try posting in the BMW section and state the model year etc..

It sounds like a faulty sensor or maybe knackered battery?

A good auto electrician should be able to diagnose it in no time.

That will indeed set the alarm sensors off

I had exactly the same prob with my E39 and it turned out the bonnet sensor had gone faulty.

You know you can disable the alarm sensors after you lock the car by holding down on the button?
