I installed a new Stinger Fused distribution block that has a voltage display and LED lights, but it doesnt display my voltage and the lights stay on when my car is off. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I think they only come on when it senses a drop in voltage, and you have to connect that little black wire to ground

mine stays on as well it just shows the voltage all the time don't think it drains the battery at all.

make sure you have it hooked up right. it shouldent light up or read voltage untill you have the black wire grounded.. allso it should have a switch to turn it on/off somewhere on it..

That sucks. Even if it didnt drain my battery it would still drive me nuts. Hopefully u don't have to were somebody is walking by they would see it

i beleive after it's all wired it's led display will shut off on it's own, kinda like the display on a cap. they turn off when nothings happening, but as soon as it senses a voltage drop or gain it'll light up

. leds don't use much of any power so i doubt it'll drain your battery

the only way to get the lights to turn off, is if I unhook the little ground cable attached to it. And it doesnt read the voltage at all, even when it is grounded. The display just blinks "A" or "V".

And the lights were driving me nuts so I unhooked the ground cable.
