Burnt up cooling fan plug

Fans won't come on, so I checked the plug. 2 of the pins are scorched. Of course this part isn't in stock at any auto parts store, is there another option? Resistor from a different year work?

What causes this a poor connection from the start?

What causes this a poor connection from the start?

1) A poorly engineered part.
2) Fan drawing too much current (faulty motor)
3) Idling too long with AC on in the AZ desert (for example)
4) Poorly fitting connection(s)
5) Bad Ground

Take your pick.. Seems like many things can cause this, but it all circles back to #1

Having the same issue as of a couple days ago. With the AC on the fan works, so the fan motor must be good correct? Pulled off the connector to the resistor assembly and see no signs of burnt plastic, same goes for the male end on the resistor side looks good. While I had it off I applied die electric grease, why not. I also pulled of the connector at the motor, applied a bit of DEG and reseated it. All the fuses are good at the fuse panel in the engine bay. I don't know the resistor value at the resistor maybe it's bad? Both relays #50 and #55 look good but don't know how to test them. Car has 22k miles and is babied, my 1999 Camry has 180k miles and runs like a top and no issues with the OEM fans, very frustrating. The stang does have the FR Track Cal tune on it and the fan runs more than normal maybe this has something to do with it?

Disregard, I wasn't allowing the coolant temp to get hot enough, when the cylinder head temp reaches 214F, the fan kicks on drops to 210 in about 30 seconds or so then shuts off. Then the head temp drops to about 205, then heats back up and the same process repeats itself, what a dope, shakin my head.
