You should trace all the wires and find out if there is a reason that plug melted. I run across this quite often on the Macks I work on.
Ok I'll search it a bit more.

Ya the buzzing noise from leaving your lights on and opening the door or opening the door when the vehicle is on. I don't remember the name of the dang thing. It connects to the fuse box under the dash and it's really obnoxious.

Tail lights wires might be shorting out

The buzzer doesn't go off from the passenger side but the ceiling dome light will come on.

And the driver side is the opposite, the buzzer goes off and the dome light won't come on. I usually just turn the headlight switch to turn on the dome light so I can see.

Take a hammer and tap the little button things and they will just stick in and stay
Problem solved

All that will do is make it so my dome lights never come on and the buzzer stops. But I know I can just unplug the buzzer but I like the reminder to turn off the lights.

Not sure about older models but my 1999 does if you have the lights on with the engine off OR the key in the ignition with the engine off, so either of those inputs could be the culprit (like if it thinks the lights are always on or key's always in)
