Believe it or not, no; it never did blow a fuse. I had been using an off-road only 100w (high beam) H4 bulb that lit up the night like an aircraft landing light. It worked great, but the bulbs only lasted a season or so before blowing; I think due to vibration? I gave up on them and switched to a normal wattage bulb without knowing about the overheated connector. I found the burned connector when doing some other maintenance on the bike. The connector actually still worked fine but clearly things were getting pretty hot using the 100w bulbs. I replaced the connector with an identical one. Ed
