Not sure what that has to do with anything, we are talking current flow. And yes the system is "hot" all the time except for what is connected through the ignition switch. That is mainly the coil and instrument panel gauges. The lighting switch is "hot" but only the brake circuit is connected with the switch in the off position. Different years are wired a little differently, but similar. Now, back to the battery lead question, a spark indicates current flow and there should not be any current flow.
