1993 Ford Taurus lighting problems

High mount brake light bulb holders are brittle, brown to black due to burning. I have checked 2 other people with the same type of high mount brake lights and they are also showing signs of overheating at the connection. Appears to be much the same problem as the recall on the headlamp switch which resulted in a melted/ burned wiring connection.

Tl* the contact owns a 1993 ford taurus. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the headlights turned off sporadically. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not offer any assistance since the vehicle had surpassed the statue of limitations. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 77,000.
