Parking lights no longer flash when locking/unlocking

For some reason my parking lights stopped flashing when I lock or unlock the car. Just randomly from one day to the next. It still locks, but the lights don't flash, which is worrisome. Anyone seen this before?

It's quite easy to bump the trunk release button on the remote without knowing about it and have the trunk un-latch - I've gotten in the habit of checking it to make sure that it is closed.

Happened to me constantly. I had to turn off the trunk pop feature via the button in the glove box.
