2004 Ranger Fuel Pump Shut Off Switch Problems

Hello,
Has anyone had a problem with the fuel pump shut off switch in their ranger? I have a 2004 extra cab 4.0 4x4 that has the switch shut off after parking the truck on an incline. I am going to replace the switch and noticed that the pigtail that connects to the harness in the truck, gets hot when the truck is running, so hot that the connector is melted into a blob of plastic. The wires on the truck harness are burned and now missing all the insulation. Any advise? I ordered a new switch, and was just going to cut off the melted connector and connect directly to the short harness that connects directly to the shut off switch. I am a bit worried since the old connector was getting hot enough to melt plastic.

Any ideas?
