Has anybody experienced an issue with the headlight switch getting so hot it melts the casing of the plug?
The female spade terminal that plugs into the bottom part of the switch gets too hot to touch
and has started to melt the outer casing. There is also some yellowish brown heat discoloration on the switch itself.
I don't have any other issues with lights not coming on due to the contacts out of adjustment.
Its only one of the spade plugs in the terminal, it appears to be the one controllong the marker/interior
lights. I'm gonna break out the FSM and find out which wire it is, but i'm sure that is the one.
It would seem that it is pulling alot of current through a weak connection and causing it to overheat.
It intermittantly does not make contact and i have to wiggle the plug, or reseat the plug to get the lights to work.
The only spare switch i have is the original one that was in the car that had the contact issue, even after cleaning.
Anybody else experience this....?
Me thinks the junkyard is calling...
