Bad ground wont blow the fuse. Drawing too many amps or direct short. Sounds like direct short. Double check your alarm connections.

Disconnect the alarm power 12v + source to check

If the alarm is connected to the lights you might want to check there. One might be blown or there is a bad connection to them blowing the fuse. I would go through the wiring again.

The alarm is pulling to many amps for that fuse and then it blows right ? So what you should do is run the alarm through a bigger fuse or add a fuse just for the alarm.
