[QUOTE="bonesninja, post: 1801076, member: 557079"] its not unusual for wires or amps to show voltage after being un-hooked. The basic idea here is that by running current through a wire, you are also creating a magnetic field around that wire. Thus by running current through a wire, in essence you are creating an eletro-magnet. Once your disconnect that wire from the power source, there is still some stored potential inside that wire or amplifier. It's very easy to discharge the energy by making sure that your wire is unattched from the amp and battery and simply ground(by ground i mean touch) it to bare metal on your chassis. Now to addres your problem, it definately sounds like your fuse connection is faulty. [/QUOTE]
