I’m new around here as well, but from other vehicles, if electrical insulation melts, it usually means there is a short right where the damage is found. If you had an issue elsewhere in the system that causes over-current, you’d either have a fuse pop or you’d see melting elsewhere. You found melting at the same spot twice, so that’s where your cause is, nowhere else. It’s most likely crud, stray strands, or exposed wires that are moved together, that shortens the circuit right there, which creates the heat that damaged the wires or connector.
