Wow! I just read all your helpful posts. Corrosion could've been the problem but, I didn't see any through the melted plastic. I'll keep an eye on it. I'll water proof the hell out of the connection now. Thanks!

Water is not the only thing (nor is it the most likely thing) that can cause corrosion in a connector. It is much more likely that poor contact was made between the wire and a crimp connector. Heat from the poor connection causes the wire to corrode which causes a higher resistance contact and more heat to be dissipated. It's regenerative.

Since you're in there, check out the grounds. Search the site.

I think I increased the wire size to the headlights and radiator.

Sounds like a good idea. It's still residing in the house for now. I took a nice long ride today with many stops and the new ignition switch looks like it got rid of that pesky shutting off in mid flight thing. unk:
