I had a problem with the key light for security staying on as well; had to do with led turn signals I installed.
I installed a load equalizer and the problem went away; cost about $55 dollars
Good luck

Problem
Not sure by reading your post that I understand all what you are saying but I assume it a factory alarm and can be taken off by replacing the signal light module with a standard one. Mine is under the splash cover in front of the rear wheel on a Softail. As long as its on there at least in 04 its always on ready to be armed. The siren has its own battery is a separate contained part that plugs into it. If the post that someone sent does not help, describe your problem some more and a little history about the signal lights.

Are you sure it's related to the security system and that it's not your bike telling you that there is a "check engine" problem? Sounds like maybe there is a historic code.
