I have researched this a bit to learn up somewhat on just what load means, but in all definitions I've read, it depends on whether your vehicle is negative or positive ground.

The "load" side of the ammeter would always be the one opposite where the battery connects, whether you have negative or positive ground. The battery side post is typically called the "source" connection.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
