Electrical issue - haven't seen this discussed before

I've searched, but I haven't seen this come up before. When I had my 7-pin connector wired, I asked them to wire the 12v power lead so that I could charge the T@B while driving (a 2018 320S Boondock, if that matters). When I have the battery disconnect switch set to green so that I'm charging, my tow vehicle engine keeps running after I shut off the ignition switch! Since it shuts off when I turn the battery disconnect switch to red, I assume they did something funky in the wiring and that the T@B battery is supplying power to my vehicle to keep the spark plugs firing. Since I know nothing of 12v wiring, anybody have any ideas what they might have done? I'll bring it back to the RV place that wired the 7-pin, but would like to have some info on what might be wrong. Thanks!

No expert here, that said . . .Sounds like the Installer connected your trailer +12V to the wire (circuit) between vehicle Ignition On/Run position and engine control computer.Installer should have connected the trailer +12V to the vehicle Main Battery Buss.Attached PDF file has a couple of reference diagrams.Would be helpful to know your Tow Vehicle: Make-Model-Year.Many newer vehicles now come with Main Battery Buss 'trailer' fuse locations factory defined for an Installer to use.Also, always ask how your installer did the job . . . show me!'18 320 S, pitched axle, 3020HE; PNW basedTV: '17 Colorado V6 Z71 4x4, Tow Package, GM Brake Controller
