Tssss, tssss
15.02 and 17.4 are certainly to much, which means that the VR is not regulating, it’s just passing the input (A) to F. In other words it acts as a short.
If it’s working correctly the voltage on F goes down when the voltage on the battery goes up and thus regulates the charging.
Your ground wire is OK. No problem with that.
Sparks is never a good sign unless you’re welding so I think that the VR is toast.
Time to do some shopping for a new one.
Sorry to hear that this project didn't work out. You did your best,
Rudi
