The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Would leaving the ignition on cause damage to the coil?

A bit off the subject but I had a short in my ignition system and this caused the coil to heat up quickly. So another thing that can mess up a coil. But this is also a way to tell if you have a short (assuming it did not blow a fuse) in your system. If coil is warm, find the short.
