It was sending rolling signals to the car based on a bad battery is the best I can figure out. All I know is that my SRT was doing the same thing where the lights would flash as if I had just locked it without me doing anything and more often than not the alarm would go off. My car would be outside and I (with keys) was in my office, house, bank, grocery store, etc. I couldn't shut the alarm off no matter what I did. The remote was totally ineffective but I could start and drive the car. Several times I was driving down the street with the alarm going off looking like I just stole my own car. The advice that I was given was to change out the batteries in both remotes. I did that and no more problems in 8 months. I suppose that there could have been water in the trunk that magically dried up on the exact day that I replaced the batteries. The other thing is that it is about the easiest fix there is for a problem. Try whatever you think will work best with your problem. I am just letting you know what fixed mine when I had what sounds like the exact same thing going on. I did also remove the battery cables and then reattach them.
