My amp light stay on when the car is off?

Question

does this mean its draining power from my battery? I hooked the remote wire up directly to the deck i that why its staying on? was I supposed to connect the blue wire in the back of the deck to the harness then hook up the remote wire?

Answer 1

the blue remote wire HAS to be hooked up to a switched ignition lead. If not your amp will only turn off when your battery is dead :) if your decks one is screwed hook it up to any power wire (non airbag) that turns off with the key off. hope that helps

Answer 2

the remote wire on the amp is wired to a full time 12 volt positive power source.. it need to be hooked to the remote wire off the head unit or a key switch controlled power source(off and on with the key).   this will shorten the life of the amp if it is not changed . and yes it will kill the battery..aswell
