One simple way to determine if the speed controller is indeed allowing
current to flow is to hook your actuator to the 12v side and see if it
closes. My bet is that it won't move and you're just measuring voltage
across the controller circuit.
But, if you're worried about the 12v subsystem being active when the
main switch is off (which could happen because of other wiring issues
down the road), just put a secondary switch on the 12v circuit as well.
A $2 switch is cheap protection and peace of mind ... and the user
manual isn't very hard to read either :-)

Everything runs fine, I was just worried about anything (my remote door
actuator / trigger) that was tied to the 12v side still being active
after the switch was turned off. I haven't hooked it up yet but that was
my worry. Like I said, I wasn't sure if it was a problem, but I wanted
to run it by more experienced eyes.
