Canon Connector

[jburgessx2]

I had a pin in the canon connector on the curbside burn out on my 85 PT40. The
pin appears to be the window lighting for both sides of the lounge area. The
male and female both have melted.

My question is why? The lights have been working fine and all appeared to be
working fine before hand. Could the pin have shorted out due to a bad
connection at the connector? Or, do you think something in the lighting has
gone haywire (a ballast) that caused the pin to overheat. Can I bypass the
canon connector for the lighting (run a wire around the connector)?

Any ideas would be helpful since we fulltime and we do enjoy having our lights!

Thanks.
