If it's on the ground side, you can't short it out. If that switch on the seat riser is on the hot side, one of those terminals is always hot and can be easily shorted to the body ground. I have one located just like this but put it on the ground cable. That's much safer in my opinion.

I agree, mine is on the 12V negative ground side.
