security light blinks when door is closed

[knoddles]

MY battery has been dying over and over again . was told i have a aftermarket alarm draw. When the fuse is in and i get out of the car the security light blinks and wont go off. when i pull the fuse for the a anti theft alarm out my after market viper alarm can still lock and unlock the car door. was told that not suppose to do that. recently read a form that said if key in the door turned at 2:00 oclock turns the light off then its not the door pieces and could be the hood sensor,,, how would i test for that and or otherwise fix this annoying problem?

If it is the hood sensor, just unplug it. It would make the light go out. Try it

idk where my hood sensor is located and im sure its something with my alarm most likely

they also said my alarm was draining at like .56 is that bad?

Hood sensor is on the driver side between the strut tower and fuse box. It will be the highest part in that area.

.56 is very negligible, but with a weak battery, it will drain it enough to cause issues

Its crazy because my car was fine with the aftermarket alarm and stereo for months . i moved back up north this year and during the winter i had starting troubles and had to replace the battery. and it was fine for a while but kept doing it.

also update i found that my hood sensor is the cause of the constant blinking light...is that the reason why my battery keeps dying? i have an aftermarket alarm so is there something cause it to act funny? or kill the battery

The blinking light will drain the battery in about 2-3 days.
