Is it the amp itself or just the back light? W've got a Jensen in the Cougar, and the backlight stays on even when the unit is off. We dry camp a lot, and that backlight is an unnecessary draw on the battery. I installed a switch on the 12vdc line that goes into the radio to shut it off entirely.
That seems to be the case with most TT's. My old '99 Sunline had the same issue.
