Re: Weird ???

It sounds as if the previous owner was using the switch to select which batteries the motor started from. Not right or wrong, just how they did it.

If you want tot switch to kill everything then you'll need to remove all the accessory wires off the positive battery terminals and connect them to the COM post on the switch. This will then select which batteryu you are draining/charging from.
