As I hooked up the batteries in a 3020 diesel today, I noticed a spark and currant draw with key switch and lights off. I found that there was voltage present in the wire coming from the field post on the voltage regulator to chassis ground with wiring not connected to generator. Removed the cover and was unable to stop the voltage regardless of which contacts were opened on the coils.
I wish there was a more detailed diagram of the VR and how its outputs should read. This is the 24 volt system.

This is the schematic I'm using. Starting, charging and lights are the only circuit's being used, others are disconnected.
Any reply's would be appreciated, as I've worn out the topic search function!
