Default alarm going off randomly, acc fuse blowing

Here's the problem:

I can go for two weeks with everything fine but then one day I'll go through tree damn 20 amp acc fuses, I couldnt figure out why but then yesterday my alarm started going off randomly. I'm thinking the short is somewhere within my alarm because my alarm is tied into my dome light and reading lamps and also my parking lights. I have an old Black Widow with the kill switch and it also has this really loud high pitched speaker thing under the dash, I'm not sure what model. Any help would be appreciated

Who installed it? Most decent places will warranty their work. Its worth a shot. If not its probably a wire with part of the insulation stripped off and it is grounding out. That would explain why it does it sometimes..and other times it doesnt.

Definately sounds like a wire bundle chaffing, causing an intermittent short to ground.
