Got a 2004 XSi with an alarm that is randomly going off! What's usually the cause of this and where do I start to diagnose it.

Try replacing the ultrasonic sensors, or could be a dying battery?

De-activate the internal sensors by pressing the button near the handbrake. If this cures the problem, then the ultrasonic sensors are at fault.
If not, the fault lies else where
