Sounds like one of the door sensors has failed. The car thinks that one of the doors is still open and won't set the alarm, hence why the lights don't flash.

Open each door and make sure they all turn the interior lights on. I suspect (probably the drivers door as most used) one won't be switching properly.  :wink:

Could it also be caused by the micro switch in the boot lock? Wouldn't surprise me if the rear washer jet has leaked on it and made it a bit damp? It's a common problem this time of year.

Ditto on this, its the drivers door central locking motor that goes, the microswitch fails and the car will lock itself automatically while I'm putting my daughter in the car, came dangerously close to locking the keys in a couple of times now.

Must get it sorted ASAP.

Faulty door module will cause this.
