A piss poor connection makes for a high amperage connection (fact). This, when the amperage gets high enough will scorch the wire form end to end and destroy any wire it happens to be in contact with. With amperage always comes heat (fact). This heat will always be translated across the entire length of the wire and will glow red hot (another sad fact). Honda wiring was never meant to translate more than 15 amps sustained on any one wire of the harness. It is only 12 gauge wiring at the heaviest. These piss poor connectors can increase the amperage draw 10 amps and NEVER blow the fuse, all while doing the Chernobyl to you electrical system.
You need to brush up on Ohms law.  None of your supposed (facts) are even close to being true.  Bad connections are actually higher resistance which will LOWER your current draw.  You will not get a copper wire to glow red hot because of a bad connection on one end.  For example; if you have a bad connection to your headlight the result will be a flickering light or a dim light, or no light, it will not draw more current from your charging system, it will draw less current.
