Here are a picture of my tongue area and a picture of my front storage compartment. The black box is where all the wires come in from the bottom (which hole is sealed with hard, foamy stuff, like spray insulation). That's where the battery cutoff switch is.
I have to be able to see the controller on a pretty regular basis, right?
