I've read all the theads I can find about bad headlight switches. For about three weeks I've been smelling a burning electrical smell but haven't been able to trace it. A couple days ago the headlights started going out while driving around which narrowed down my search considerably. I saw some threads here where the plug has gotten hot enough to melt which is what mine is in the process of doing so I have pulled the switch out and drove around tonight and the switch itself gets almost too hot to touch and also specifically the connector to the headlight circuit (tan).
I'm thinking the switch itself is bad as opposed to some kind of short in the wiring. I would think a short hot enough to melt the connector would open the circuit breaker but I could be wrong.
I'll test the headlight circuit tomorrow but wanted to get some thoughts from people who might be in the know.
Thanks in advance.
