It looks like the resistor is still attached to your switch.
Good advice from HH56 on the high temperature of the resistor and you should also be aware that it has a "hot" battery connection from one terminal on the switch when the ignition is on. Another reason for the metal shield.
It wouldn't hurt to check the middle connection on the switch as well since it is very common for it to burn through when the resistor overheats.
