Bad stuff happens to ignition systems, too, when you leave the key in the "run" position while the engine is not running. So don't do it. If you need to trace some circuit, use a VOM or powered circuit tester.

It'd be getting hot from "full fielding" the field circuit to raise the system voltage to what the reg is built for which ain't working since the alt ain't charging/raising up the system voltage even with the reg constantly grounding the green field wire to max it out. reg is flowing max current
