do you have an alarm in the vehicle?

I would bet dollars to donuts that is your culprit.

You are correct. I was trying to instruct my uncle via FaceTime how to remove the battery cable 
and while popping the hood, he mentioned that he had trouble with it latching. We determined that the hood wasn't latching and it was causing the alarm to go off kinda half-cocked, if that makes sense.

Case closed! Glad it all worked out. MUD wins again.

I had this happen to me today on my '06 when I came back from lunch. I had the hood up last night to check the oil, so I wonder if the same thing happened to me? I pulled the fuse just to make sure it didn't keep blinking in the parking deck and so I didn't drain my battery. I will put it back in before I drive home (it is the same fuse as the turn signals) and I suppose put in a new fuse just in case. So weird.

It’s fuse position 4 in the fuse box behind the battery. There is a comprehensive fuse box diagram on MUD if you search.

Yeah so with my uncle's 2006, from the outside it looked like the hood was shut, just from the weight of the hood I guess. But the latch and the handle inside the cabin wasn't returning to normal, resting position. I would spray everything around the latch mechanism with PB Blaster or whatever and try to work it back and forth. Maybe have a helper in the cabin pull the hood release, while you manually push it back, several times and try to free things up.
