Weird hazard light issue

Have any of you had the following problem? When I lock the 2010 PPT it chirps twice and the car locks. I walk away and when I come back the hazard lights are continuously flashing. First time I figured someone had touched the car, but now it does this every time I lock the doors and leave. I did some searching and some people suggested it could be low battery voltage so I checked and my car still had the original battery so I replaced it along with the keyfob battery. Thought it was fine, but now it is back to doing it again.

A few times over the past 3 or 4 months when I locked the car it chirped 4 times instead of 2, not sure if this has anything to do with it or not.

I have scanned the car with my Porsche scan tool, found nothing.
It is a 4 hour round trip to the dealer so any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Is the sunroof partly open or any windows not fully closed?

Thanks for the tip. I checked and everything is fully closed. I even did a walk around to see if any bulbs were burned out, can't find anything wrong.

You using Durametric scan tool? Since it's intermittent - try locking the car with all the windows and sunroof open and see what happens.

How do you get the car to chirp on lock & unlock?

There might be a way to turn the chirps on and off, but mine just does it.

I have the iCarsoft PORII i960. I went through each module and cleared any code that was stored. I will see if that makes a difference. Perhaps the fault was stored even after I had the new battery installed so clearing them might make a difference now.

Well now the problem is worse. Every single time I lock the vehicle, using the remote, the button on the door handles or the trunk button, the car chirps like normal, then the hazard lights begin to flash and won't turn off until I open a door. If I just hit the unlock button on the FOB the lights stop flashing for a few seconds until the alarm re-arms itself and locks the doors, then they start flashing again. Nobody else has ever run into this? If it wasn't a 5 hour round trip to the dealer I would just drop in and get it looked at!

Try disabling the interior motion sensor with the button somewhere near the driver seat, left side.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried that both with the key fob and the button behind the drivers seat, lights still flash. I have also checked all the fuses I can think of. I am wondering if there is a ground issue to the alarm. Anyone know where the siren and alarm module are located on the car?

Finally sent the car to the dealer, turns out the alarm module was dead. I am looking forward to being able to lock my car again!

This problem was with my Porsche Panamera not my Bentley. The porsche alarm module was down behind the passenger footwell, accessed by removing the front tire. Water had gotten in there somehow and shorted it out. Dealer removed and replaced it, works fine now.
