If you remove that wire from the fuse, does the amp turn off? Have you used a volt meter to make sure that fuse is not hot when the key is off?

i have removed the wire and the amp turns off. havent tried the volt meter, i have used the same procedure on previou vehicles. thinking maybe using the radio fuse would work. i just dont want to have to pull my dash apart! any suggestions would be appreciated!

There is only one fuse in that car that goes off with the key. It may be labeled Windshield Wiper. The fuse you connected to is hot all the time.
