You could have a bad circuit breaker in the voltage regulator that is not opening to prevent the back flow of current to the coil. Current going through the coil to the grounded filter will cause the coil to heat up. I’m assuming your filter is bad/grounded since you had to by-pass it. You can run some regulator tests, but if it's an old regulator, you might want to replace it.
