Not sure what car you have, with mine, when that happens, it's usually the bonnet, there are 2 catches, one each side. they are known to be a problem on older P2 models (S60, V70 etc). go round the car, starting with the bonnet, open and slam everything, doors, boot etc. and see if that helps.
What model have you got? I may be able to pinpoint the problem better.
There is also a thread on the forum explaining how to reset the alarm modules on these things.
