You can have the same problem with a kill switch on the live terminal  
because the alternator or generator is providing the power.  A racing kill  
switch to the FIA standard wires the ignition live through the switch so that  
the engine does shut down when the switch is thrown.

Some  years ago, I put in a kill switch on the ground terminal, and the car 
would  continue to run when the ground was open.  It only prevented 
starting.  In fact, this is one of the electrical tests mentioned by John 
Twist.
