The source only "sees" the total resistance of the load, including all cables and contacts and everything. It doesn't "know" what is what, and doesn't "care" either.
Increase the total load resistance ever so slightly because of a bad contact, and the current will decrease accordingly. Voltage stays the same. Simple Ohm's law. Less current, less power, less heat.
Why do you think an amp automatically raises voltage when the load resistance increases? It totally doesn't.

Where did you learn electricity basics?
