Alternator is defective or the battery has a dead cell and will not take a charge. Check the voltage at the battery with the engine running. You should have between 13.5-16 volts. Anything less and your alternator is bad.

Why did your 1995 Subaru drain the battery?

Depends on if it drained while you were driving or ran down while it was parked overnight. If the battery runs down while you're driving the vehicle then more than likely the alternator is defective. If the battery drains while the vehicle is parked then the problem is either a dead cell in the battery or a light is on somewhere on the vehicle. Could be a under hood light, trunk, glovebox, dome, or even the brake lights. It can also be a relay that is stuck.

Will the blinking security light Drain my battery on my car?

The blinking security light in your car is designed to indicate that the security system is active and should not significantly drain your battery. However, if your car is not driven for an extended period, even small drains from systems like the security light can contribute to battery depletion. It's a good idea to start the car periodically or use a battery maintainer if you won't be driving it for a while.
