The alternator is supplying power to keep the engine running. The switch is wired wrong. As was the old one I suspect. On my car the large wire from the positive post of the to the starter is rerouted thru the 2 large terminals on the kill switch. The number 10 wire out of the alternator goes to the small terminal on the switch and then from the switch back into the harness where the alternator output went previously. This isolates both the battery and the alternator from the car when the switch us off.
