LEDs on distro don't seem to want to turn off

bought a nice Tsunami distro with the digital voltmeter. I already don't like it because when you don't have fuses in all the outs it makes this annoying beeping noise //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif. But my reason for posting is the distro's meter and led's don't cut off even when I turn the car off. Is this gonna cause problems? Does it eventually shut off and I just don't sit there long enough? If it is in fact a potential problem I'll pu a switch on it. lmk, thanks

I think they are supposed to time out after like 5 mins or something.

I have seen some that are defective and dont turn off though.

It could possibly drain your battery, but not likely unless you let it sit for days.

that's normal, usually there's still power in it even after you turn you stereo off, remember it stores power. It can't drain the battery, it's like a second battery, it's just storing power.

they turn off like after a few mins, they sense a draw like opening your doors and click on, dont worry about it, it doesnt stay on all night

if knu would stop with the konfused stuff I wouldn't have to put up with this crap //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif (I just don't like the interlocking mechanism of them). thx for the replies
