Default Electrical problem post slave replacement

We replaced the slave and placed a remote bleeder. Of course the first bleeder leaked necessitating pulling the new slave and replacing the first bleeder. Well, that went fine but upon getting everything bolted in the rear tail lights are staying on and that ground is HOT to touch. It ran the battery down in less than 24 hours. Or something did.

Anyone have this problem post dropping the differential and tranny? Any ideas what we have done to cause this problem?

Taillights as in what? Brake lights? Running lights? What is staying on? Exactly where is "that ground" you say is HOT, and hot meaning what? Electrical potential or temperature?
