I have 2 one farad caps in my car, and when i turn my car off they stay on. Everything else turns off, except the caps. I also have an extra battery in the trunk, could that be a reason they are staying on. The caps do not have a remote wire, they just have a negitive and positive wire that goes on top. Not sure what to do, because my friend has a cap in his car and his turns off. What do I do?
 
The cap is not actually on but it is rather the display.

The display will only stay light up until the voltage levels out to what the battery is at. Sometimes it can take awhile for it to go off. Sometimes you would think it is always on because when you open your trunk the display is light up. What actually happens is that when you open the trunk there is a slight demand from the battery which causes the display to light up.

This is normal and you should not worry about it. It is not going to drain your battery at all and it is not doing any harm.

Good Luck!!!
 
You need to find some way to ground them out. Your cap has a power cable and a ground. If your cap is not grounded then it will not turn off! You have to run your power cable to your battery and ground out your cap some where in your trunk or some where else on the car. The ground CAN NOT have paint on it or be rusted. It must be bare metal.

Hope this helps!
