Hello Dylan,

The sockets on the switch for the wires are riveted to a PC board type material and over time corrosion can build up under the rivet and the corrosion increases the resistance and causes a higher draw which causes heat.

You can try dunking your switch in a bath of CLR household cleaner overnight to remove the corrosion chemically.

FYI, new turn signal switches for 544 are available. Not cheap, but still available.
