Why does my 1997 Fiesta refuse to lock?

Fiesta 1997 generally in good nick. Normally it refuses to lock if the doors are not shut properly although the alarm doesn’t seem to cover the boot (I can open this using the key when the car is all locked, or lock the car with the boot open). Definitely no signs of tampering in daylight.

Why are my hazard lights randomly coming on?

The hazard lights on my car are randomly coming on. They came on once whilst I was out there, about 30 seconds or so after I’d locked it (double locked with the imobiliser). I’ve been out and it was all locked up, couldn’t see any sign of somebody tampering with it, but the remote central locking is working intermittently.
