while that will drain your battery, no. sounds more like you've got the adapter wired wrong. i.e. the two wires you use to tap the coil hot are backwards.

no everything was right, except for the ACC power which i by mistake connected to purple (class 2 signal) wire, maybe that's what's caused the problem

Yup, that would trip the anti-theft system.
