Question: How Can I disable the factory alarm on 2003 Nissan Sentra?

10amp fuse blown under hood all lights and locks disabled. Replaced fuse blew again. When this happened the keyless stopped working and I can not disable alarm with the key. Removed horn and finally got car started with alarm still flashing. Once door is closed seems ok to drive but it drained a brand new battery overnight. How can i disable the alarm permanently so I can just drive the car?
