Sure looks like a burn, but I suspect it's really interaction between the harness cover and the grommets. If it were hot wires the damage would be worse on the inside. Yrs, d ps - speaking of P/S pressure switches, you might want to fuse the red B+ lead from the terminal post inside the wiring box that feeds the relay box. Doing that would have saved my harness when something happened to that wire on mine. I never determined precisely what happened, but it was clear that that particular wire got extremely hot (along with the wiring in the relay box and the relay box cover and the said B+ lead.). I've found 7.5A sufficient, perhaps even 5A.
