Re: Headlamp switch feeling the heatwave also

["dursman" <dursman@xxxx>]

Joseph,
Do you have any auxiliary lights on your car? Fog lights, 
aftermarket headlamps, etc, that are tied into your headlight 
circuit? I did, and my switch melted also. Then I figured out my 
foglights were the problem. Other than that I'm not sure. Maybe 
some wires are shorted out. Good luck.
