Resister got so hot it started small fire under hood, melted wires that ran to key assembly. Installed new resistor and key assembly worked fine. There was no build up of mouse nest or leaves etc.
Since then I have monitored the resistor and it gets very hot even when engine is not running but key is turned on. Don't recall this being an issue in the past.
Comments/ suggestions on cause and solution would be very appreciated.
