The 650s are known for loose connections where the wiring harness plugs into the back of the fuseblock. I took mine completely apart and degreased and cleaned it. I took all the female connectors and spread them out a bit so they would fit more snugly too. Especially the main red/black wires going into the top left of the fuse block. When they make a poor contact they start to arc and melt the plastic around them.
