Allen,
All my Sunbeam Talbots are POS ground and I have the cutoff switch
on the NEG side which is the hot side in this situation. Never had a
problem and don't understand why it would cause a problem. The ones I use
are the type that mount directly on the battery post and has a green knob,
CCW disconnects and CW connects.
Regards,
Bob
