Will This Burn My Truck Down? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, so I cannot find a short in my truck. As a short term fix, I put a 75 amp toggle switch between my battery and the cab of the truck and ran the wires into the cab so I can turn it off and on there instead of disconnecting the battery. This will at least keep me from having to disconnect the battery in the rain everytime I park the truck. I did not alter the battery wire from the starter to the battery, only the one to the cab to eliminate the faulty accessory from draining the battery. Is this OK to do? Hopefully no fire hazard?
