Amp wireing help needed

Just hooked up my system.. ran the remote wire to the orange acc 1 wire under the dash so I could turn the amp off and just use the boat speakers.. But something is wrong.. Red light on acc switch stays on all the time.. Amp works fine but you can't throw the switch and shut it off. I ran another wire from the battery ground over to the black wire that is in the same loom as the acc 1 wire. And every time you ground it the switch light comes on even though the switch is off.. What am I doing wrong.

Found it.. one or two little strands off of the power wire had frayed over and was touching the remote hookup.. feeding power back to the relay and making the amp come on..
