Does the alarm have its own battery? anyways I locked the car with the fob and it went away. But I am just scared that it might drain my new battery so I keep on checking my car after few hours at work lol
Yes, the alarm does have it's own battery, but most are toast by now.
As to battery drain, you can remove the neg (-) battery cable and connect a multimeter between it and the neg battery post. You
should see around 35 ma normal drain.
If you see a heap more, start plucking fuses till you locate the source circuit.
