I hope you all are safe and well.

Trying to wrap up all the wiring connections. I have, based on my photos from 2 years ago and the wiring diagrams, all the wires connected correctly. However if I leave the running lights and headlights on for 5-10 minutes the housing on the headlight switch is almost to hot to touch.

I really don't want to spend more money on a switch. Do you think that's what it is? Are they rebuildable?

Thanks all! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
