2nd dumb electrical question for the 4th
I just replaced the ac/heater wiring harness on my 74 due to damage on the old one. after replacing it I realized I need to know why the damage occurred. the damage was a broken and half melted plastic connector at the AC relay, the wires were not melted or burn but the plastic housing around the terminated ends was 85% gone, looked to be disintegrated and or partially burnt like it got hot.
so if the relay went bad would the connector get hot or melt, I intend on replacing the relay anyway but figured I'd ask what causes wire end connectors to look like that.

Corrosion and the hi current thru the relay. I like to spray all contacts with WD40 to help long term.
