Looks like you gotta check for parasitic draw.

Check your battery to make sure it is indeed good. DO not assume because it was good yesterday it is still good today. A cell can short out ANYTIME it wants.

Disconnect your new items one by one while testing... when the load disappears... you know which new item is your problem.

Why it's draining

89xjrocker

Off the blue remote line coming out the back of my head unit

I know the batteries good disconnected the amp and no more problems however when the trucks off the power light on the amp is also its not acting like there's any draw from it but there is?

You're saying the amp is off when the truck is off?

89xjrocker

Correct yet it's still draining the battery disconnect amp no problem hook it back up battery drain.

What brand is this amp?

89xjrocker

Sony expload it was a freebie

Without messing with it myself I can't tell ya. Just make sure it's turning off completely when you turn the key off.

Next time you plan to let it sit pull the fuse out of the main power wire to the amp and see if it still drains the battery.

89xjrocker

No fuse lol I think I found the problem the terminal that connected to the battery post was cracked.

Lowrange2

No fuse?

Put a fuse in the thing before you burn your Jeep to the ground.
