I removed my radio and fixed the burned out lights and evry since then i have had trouble with my battery being drained in the mornig. I have a new alternator and battery. The thing that i did notice that has change is when the car is off and locked the security light flashes and it beeps. this car has nevr done this since new.
Thanks Haney

Is it Possible to disable the security system as far as the alarm goes? maybe a fuse?

I just took it to the battery shop and the battery and alternator are both good. The one thing as i said before is i took the radio out to put bulbs in it. I never noticed the theft lock light blinking on the radio before. Also when the car is turned off there is a beep coming from the left of the steering column about every 10 seconds. I think it has something to do with the security system. It never made the noise before.
Thanks Haney

Yeah you musta moved something in the radio. IIRC, radio and security are on the same "circuit".

OK I think I figured the beeping part out. After I took the battery out to have it tested my clock was wrong. So I went to reset it the hr and sec buttons were stuck in from when i put the bulbs the radio and i couldn't reset it. so i took it out and pulled it apart and the buttons were turned in the face plate the wrong way essentially holding both buttons in all the time. i fixed it and put it back together and it no longer beeps. As for the theft lock light it may have always blinked when the car was off and i just didn't notice.
