1994 ford ranger headlighat switch problem?

I have replaced the switch and the connecter that plugs into it. I have had to rewire the headlight wire (red wire) twice now because it keeps melting and last time it melted the connecter. Do I have a short or what?

It sounds like you have a short or the wire is too small and can't carry the required current.

Hi yes you have short and the possibility of a fire in the future if it doesn't get fixed.

Check both fuse boxes in cab and under hood.
