In most forms of competitive motorsports the battery switch MUST be tied in to the positive side of the battery and alternator charging wire to meet the rules. As someone stated above, if its tied into the negative side, once the engine is running the battery switch won't do shit to turn off the electrical system. It is installed on the positive side so if there is ever a crash ect and fuel lines get ripped open the pumps and engine will not stay running when the switch it turned off. It's for saftey.
If all your looking to do is add one on to keep a battery from discharging, go on with your bad self and install it on the negative terminal.
This is correct... need to disconnect the (+) and the alternator. If you already have yours wired up to the ground, see if it kills the engine when it's running.
