While this may not be the typical failure mode for HID modules (been mentioned 
already that they tend to short internal to the voltage coil), I've seen enough 
power supplies short back to the input via regulating components, feedback 
loops, and even shorted windings to know that what I stated is quite possible. 
Knowing this, I cannot consciously give advice to anyone to  preclude their own 
safety.
