I usually use SAE connectors since thats what my van had from the previous
owner.

I use the connector on the left of this image linked below to the power
source. ie battery/fuse block etc.this way that positive "hot" post remains
shielded so in case i dont have anything hooked up to it, it wont
accidentally ground itself to the chassis and short out.

so... which ever type of connection youre using, be sure the "hot" post
that always has power is using the shielded/protected part of the
connector. just in case... then let everything else fall from there...

thats what i do anyways...
