Burned headlight switch

So has anyone seen this one before?




(Click for big)

I don't know which went first, the switch or the connector, but they are both burned pretty good. I was out camping last weekend, and when I clicked the switch on after getting to the campground, I had no marker lights.

Looking at the burn marks and the ash in the dash is a little scary since the feed wire is hot all the time and it could have burned the truck up.
