On old Fords a lot of the circuits are hot all the time. The ignition circuit should only to hot to the ignition switch. The generator circuit is hot to the cutout. That is what the cut out is doing, breaking the connection between the battery and the generator. The lighting circuit is hot all the time to the lighting control switch and brakes are hot all the time. What year are you working on?
