AMP overload LED
My AMP has power but when I turn the cd-player on it goes into overload and the LED turns on.
Looks like everything is plugged in OK.

Driving amp from RCA cables? Make sure they aren't grounding anywhere - metal lip touching the case of the radio, frayed cables, etc.
Also check they arent getting +12 from anywhere!
Getting any hiss through the speakers?
If that all checks out, then it maybe that the amp is getting seriously underpowered, or the driver circuit has fried
/edit/
thinking about it, how's the remote link working? I used to have an amp that only had one LED on it, marked as overload, so would glow when the ignition was on, but the remote link from the head unit hadn't kicked it into life, ie standby. Maybe thats wired up wrong - some head units don't strictly follow the ISO standard for the "extras" such as amp remote link
