I had an mtx that even when hooked up properly and turned off the light would stay on....even when you uninstalled it the light would stay on for quite a while......

maybe the internal relay is stuck closed... tis happens but rarely, i had an mtx thunder400 i think that was like that, it also had power feeding back to the rem lead making my other amps stay on as well (no good) i ended up just running a relay to that amp and never had a problem with it

nah, it still had enough juice left in her to keep the led lit, and thats what it did i guess //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif. Would eventually go off. I wouldnt recommend leaving it hooked up until you figure exactly what is going on //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

A switch wont do anything if it is an internal problwm with the amp...he stated in the original post..."When I take the REM wire out it does the same thing". So obviously there is an internal issue with the amp...not the REM lead out of the HU.

most amps if you dont have the REM wire connected it wont even turn on. so im jus stumped

all amps if you dont have the REM wire connected it shouldnt even turn on. so im jus stumped

corrected

try just letting it sit there after the car is turned off. For 10 min or so (that wont drain the battery) and see if the LED ever turns off.
