My fused distribution block won't shut off, which makes sense to me now because its just a straight connection to the battery. But how do I get the LED voltmeter to shut off when the car is turned off. Relay from the Remote on my head unit? If so, does anyone know how to go about wiring a remote wire to the distro's LED?

Thanks!

What kind of block is it? Does it have a remote on for the LED?

The LEDs are designed to stay on. Raptor is made by Metra. Contact them and see if there is a way to modify it to your liking:

thanks for help

I've been in touch with a few people and all said that the LED only draws about .05 amps or something like that. I could leave it for a week and not worry about it. Plus it gets driven daily so I"m not worried any more.

The LED stays on to give you readings at all times and yes, they do not draw enough current to drain your battery down.
