check your interior fuse box for a blown fuse.

In order for the wire to melt there has to be some heavy resistance for heat buildup since I doubt the light could have gotten hot enough (in the rear at least) to melt the plug and wires.

it probably isnt a melted wire but a melted plug could be the culprit. High wattage bulbs do get hot enough to melt the plug that plugs into the bulb. I had some 80/110 watt bulbs in mine for awhile after time it melted the plug a little bit you cant tell from just looking at teh plug. But I have to wiggle teh plug around to get it to come on.
