Hard to tell --- but it appears you are connecting a positive to ground.... at the remote high amp alternator disconnect.
This appears to be a "low power" fused connection to keep electronic memories etc in play? If so - then it would simply be a fuse in a hot wire - not a hot connected to ground.
Personally - I would never have a disconnect switch on an alternator.... you can blow the diodes on it. There's really no reason to disconnect it. If you want to remove it - and not accidentally touch your wrench to ground -- just simply cut the battery off.... The problem comes from being able to start and run the car (thus spinning the alternator) -- and having no load for the alternator output. BAM go the diodes...
