Festiva Alarm Lights Flashing

[pansy99]

I went to drive my 1999 festiva earlier today, and noticed the alarm light on the dash was on, and the blinkers were flashing like the alarm was going off. There was no alarm sound. I've had the car for around 4 years and have never used the alarm, I didn't think it was connected, and I don't have a key for it. Does anyone know why this has happened and how I can fix it? I've called a friend who usually fixes my car and he isn't sure without looking at the car, which he can't do for a few days. The car starts and drives no worries, I just don't want to drive with the lights flashing. Thanks in advance.
