I'm going to guess that theres something that's grounded out when it shouldn't be. Did your car come with manual locks and then you added power door locks with keyless entry later on? If that's the case maybe the solenoid is going bad? :shrug:

Your alarm wouldn't happen to be a Clifford would it? I've heard of a lot of the Cliffords going berzerk after a while.

it could be a weak ground to the brain - every time the ground resistance fluctuates, it activates or deactives the alarm. check under your dash for the brain and make sure it's grounded good.
