Yes, Bad coil could've caused this. If the insulation inside the coil has broken down the "coil" wires inside could be shorting directly to the case of the coil and therefore to earth. The feed is not fused. If this wire has melted into an adjacent wire then you will have ongoing problems even when the wire is disconnected. Remember - for electricity to flow there must be a circuit, and it looks like the coil +ve is making the circuit down another feed wire. Fix is as you have already described.

Bigger,louder, faster, better.
