Default Light switch burnt car doesn't turn off

Recently I drove away and started to smell some burned plastic wire. Stopped to check outside but could not get my finger on it. Later noticed that switching highbeam raised light level but could not get the lights out.
Lowbeam lights did switch on/off. At destination, ignition did not turn of the car, had to open hood and pull rcm and even battery.
Later that night connected batt. and rcm and could drive away, high beam lights can't switch off, low beam would,
Pulling multifunction increases high beam light level and indicator (indicator is on all the time
All along burnt smell.
At home could only get her out disconnecting battery.
CC roadster..

Today I opened the fusebox and found below.

What would cause this?

burnt power connector headlight switch



different focus on the connector to headlight switch

It's even worse, the pink one melted too...
