Hot trailer wiring

I did a search but did not see this issue previously discussed. I towed my Triumph about 150 miles back home Friday after buying it in Rockledge. My vehicle is a 2007 Toyota 4 Runner with factory towing package. This was the first time I towed with it. I purchased a 7 pin to 4 pin converter from the dealer.

When I got home Friday I noticed the wiring harness was hot. Not like melting the plastic to my skin hot, but hot enought that I noticed. I have never had this happen with any other trailer. Today I drove to the ramp 5 minutes away, same thing. Any thoughts on what would cause this? They had to fix the ground wire at the dealer in order to get them to work, I wonder if it has something to do with the way they grounded it?
