Does this switch hook up to the positive or negative side. Called customer support and the support tech didn't know. He suggested the positive side.

They are normally used on the positive side. I installed mine on the positive.

That depends on its use. For most racing entities, ie; SCCA, NHRA etc, require it to be on the positive side to pass tech inspections. If you are using it simply as a way to disconnect a battery for say storage, while in a vehicle that will be parked, then the ground side will work fine.

As others have said, it is normally connected to the positive side, but either will work equally well.

I made my own cable with eyelets on each end and then put one end on the positive side of battery and the other end on the Flaming River switch then on the other terminal on the switch I connected my positive cable eyelet from camper. I hope this will help you I give the Switch 2 thumbs up.

The switched did'nt worked properly for me so I'm not able to answer your question. Sorry.

2 posts in middle are for positive/negative DC Input. The two outside posts are for positive/negative DC output to motor. Switch just reverses polarity on those 2 posts.

I have been using the neutral wires in all of my installations. I'm not sure how it will operate if not connected.

Polarity does matter, but the wire colors have changed from batch to batch (I've ordered several pairs over the past few years), making trial and error the only way to tell which is positive and which is negative. There is no harm hooking it up backwards, it just won't work until hooked up correctly. I have only had one break a wire internally (after crashing the dirtbike and breaking the mounting screw, it dangled by the wire for several miles before we noticed it.) Once home, just took it apart and re-soldered the wire to the board, replaced the broken screw, and back in business again.

yes this in a momentary switch. and it reverses the polarity up + - down - +

Sorry- looked at my controller and the positive is shared. Hook the negative from each panel to separate neg (-) terminals. Both positives share one terminal.

I am guessing "NO" since I originally had the wiring polarity hooked up backwards and didn't have a reading.

Make sure the polarity is correct. The negative pin -- Is marked on backside.

With a standard 12v DC adapter. Look on the PCB and you will see a + and - sign indicating the polarity.

There is NO polarity switch. If using a projector, you'll need to use the invert on/off to resolve issue (not a big deal)

I to was confused about wiring of switch. They need to included a drawing of what goes where. I ended up with only two speeds working. Wish I could help you.

I never used the switch. Mine works okay. You must have received a defective unit. Return or exchange it ASAP

Normally you put the disconnect on the positive terminal in a negative ground vehicle. However, after checking throughly through the system on on of my vehicles I couldn't get it to work. So I put it on the negative post just making sure there no other connections. Use an ohm meter to tell you if it's OK.

I sent it back, I don't remember which side the switch was on! They sell the ones for wiring !

You need to make sure you use it's cable like brian4698 mentioned. It is not the standard polarity, so if you use any old cable that fits, you've reversed the polarity and can do damage to the unit.

I just used a 12v adapter I had lying around. I cut the end off and used a multimeter to make sure the polarity was correct and hooked it to the board. Please, do be careful about the where you put the positive and negative. I remember reading on the net that this device won't protect itself from reverse polarity on the dc voltage. Meaning, the circuit board will be ruined.
