Agree with Turbs - I would put the switch on/near whichever treminal is the most accessable.

I agree. That is how I ran mine as well. Find a place that you want to mount it for easy access and a good route for the wire so that it doesn't get rubbed, nicked, or cut. Then make sure you have enough of the right gauge of wire, crimp on your connectors and away you go.

Since you quoted my reply, is this something I am missing or should know about?

Did it anyways
Well, I went and did it anyways with out him, I ended up going on the negative side. Was lots easier, the postitive had several wires comming off it so it was easier to do just the one on the neg.
Best thing is it went fairly easy inspite the 40 mph wind gust we are having here. Thanks you guys, jdadoug.
