how many beeps does the car signal after you stop it ringing?
This will tell you which sensor set it off. Check your alarm handbook to diagnose which sensor. Check all windows are closed. If they're open then the ultrasonic sensors inside will detect a "broken window" and sound the alarm

Check the indicator bulbs also, i had a bad connection.

Alarm wasnt flashing one corner indicator properly.

Turned out it was a loose connection.
