Arrow s4 guage cluster burning smell

another new problem comes my way.. ah the smell of burning plastic not that strong but still noticable.. i seamed to trace it out to the bottom of the left side of the guage cluster in the s4 gxl..it gets pretty warm there. nothing has stopped working or discolored around there. seems to be almost were the headlight switch is but on the inside..anyone have a clue not trying to have a melt down in that area

Can also be inside the head light switch... the S4 versions has two traces that are rather thin and can overheat and eventually melt.
