My headlight switch is HOT again. Is 3.4A normal for parking lights?



Can someone verify that my headlight switch is bad?

I have an 85 4000SQ, and am getting 3.2A through my left parking lights
(2 bulbs in back, one in front I think) and 3.4A through my right parking
lights.  The dash lights are < 2A.  All this is supplied by one hot wire,
which seems to be where the heat is coming from.

I re-wrapped my wires in the trunk hinge to be sure they aren't shorting,
but the headlight switch is still getting hot.

Are these normal Amp readings for the parking lights?  If so, am I
probably right that the headlight switch melted inside and therefore
has a bad connection which is overheating?

Thanks,
John
