Does Key of Bull Dog Winch Switch Kit BDW20079 Turn Off or On the Circuit

Question:

I had one of these for my old trailer battery shut off. I need another for my new trailer. It is very important to confirm, that when the red handle is removed the current is cut off like my old switch. your review has this reversed. Please check with a VOM that continuity is cut off when the red lever is removed, Thanks

The switch kit part # BDW20079 that you referenced is designed so that when the key is installed and in the switch the circuit is cut off. When you turn the key back and remove it the circuit is then reactivated.

The color of the key being red signifies "stop" like the circuit being stopped when you see it installed.
