Continuing my plea for help, and seeing that the Zilla is a high-side switch, which of the following options should I pick? The top half of my battery is under the hood and the bottom half is in the trunk. My motor is under the hood (of course). And my old controller was in the trunk (original idea was to protect from the elements). So I have 3 cables running under the car: from battery+ to controller B+, motor- to controller M-, and one connecting the middle of the 2 batteries together.
So should I: 1. run a new cable from Zilla M+ to motor+ (have 4 cables running under the car)2. swap the polarity of the front/rear batteries (top half in trunk, bottom half under hood, moving contactor from hood to trunk, still having 3 cables under the car)3. move the controller to under the hood (then would only have 2 cables under the car: battery- to M-/B- and one connecting the middle of the 2 batteries together, this would require me also moving the 12V battery to the trunk to make space for controller) Should I be concerned about long power runs? 4 cables under car vs. 2 cables, etc? I also use a Lithiumate BMS and they warn that the Zilla is noisy and can interfere - would option 3 be any better in the case?

B- and M- are common inside the controller, correct?

I'm upgrading from a Curtis 1231C to a Zilla 1k to refresh my EV grin. The 1231C used a common power connection for B+ and M+, however these are separated on the Zilla (and I do not measure continuity between). What topology does the Zilla use that B+ is not connected to M+? Anyway, running a separate M+ cable to the controller will be a moderately difficult job. I assume this is really needed? Grr, thought I could knock this out today. I can't find anything in the archives or online about this..
