The headlights no longer work on low beam. the high beams still work. upon removing the steering column cover and unplugging the wiring harness i found that the connector is literally burned and melted at the point of connection in the harness. mazda no longer makes the part and i cannot have it fixed by a mechanic because the part is almost impossible to find in a used salvaged vehicle. *tr
