I have a 1970 TR6 with a bad ammeter. While looking into repair/replacement of the old meter, I tried to temporarily bypass it so I could drive the car. Based on the amount of sparks, I still have current flowing through some of this wiring even with the ignition turned "OFF". Any hints on where to start troubleshooting this?

Thanks! I'm going to order a refurbished ammeter and install (with battery disconnected) as per the wiring diagrams. I just noticed last night that a former owner moved the light gauge brown/white ignition wire on the same side as the heavy brown cable running to the starter. I'm guessing they did that once the ammeter fried so that the car would still start. Hopefully it will be back to normal (and will charge the battery) once I have it back together.
