Dave,
I'd say that if the connector is melted you have a short to ground problem,
not an open ground. An open ground will not cause components to melt.

Subject: no headlights
I know we've touched on this before but bear with me. Came back from
MG2006 without headlights in my 67 BGT. Great time, though. When we got
there, I noticed the lights were dim but never used them again, just the
running lights which work. Brake lights, directionals, dash lights all work.
That was quite a return trip up and down through the Great Smokeys
without lights at 6 in the morning! Got home and have been checking the
wiring since.
Pretty sure it's a ground somewhere. Did notice that the passenger
headlight plastic three prong connector where the bulb plugs into was
melted! Driver's side connector ok. I am running Hella Halogen H4's. I
have a 96 amp alt. installed.
Checked the 3-wire ground connector above the oil cooler under the front
cross brace. Seemed ok. Where are the other ground connections for the
headlight circuit?
cheers,
Dave Houser
