Subject:Partially burned rear wiper electrical connector. Motor Heat Damaged it?

Hi all.

Can the rear wiper motor get hot enough to melt plastic?
Or, is this due to wear and tear? (power draw over time, heat )

It appears to be partially burned. Searched but didn't find anything in archives
of this. Wiper works.

This Vanagon seems to have had body work done on it. Possibly a collision repair
but I think that's limited to the driver side mid ship. Regardless,
there's no signs of
fire damage anywhere.

Neil.
