The amp staying on for a minute was just a BS excuse...the amp is not getting a signal, there for the current draw is virtually nothing. As a matter of fact the indicator light staying on is likely only due to the capacitors discharging. Your courtesy lights when you unlock the car are probably pulling much more current.

However, if you are running a cheap 1000 watt amp and cranking it and/or have poor ventilation, the current draw may be accessive and contributing to the OP's problem.

Either way, that was ridiculous....IMHO
