I had this same problem about two weeks ago after installing my new cd deck. It should be just your tailight fuse under neath the driver's side dash; 15a fuse.

sounds like your alarm was put in wrong or you have a short but you need to go back and look at all the fuses

This is exactly right. Fuse # 10 under the dash.

when your alarm is wired to your dash light/taillights and it is arm/dearm the alarm module send a 12v signal to the lights bypassing the blown fuse which is closer to the battery. I say double check your fuses. If thaty doesn't work time to break out the multi-meter and start chasing sparks
