The points have nothing to do with it.

I was using the wrong term - when I said "points" I meant the contacts in the cut-out. So when the cut-out fails in the closed position, there would be 6 volts on the "BATT" side of the cut-out and 6 volts measurable on the "GEN" side, which would be trying to motor the generator and turn the fan, correct?
