Sorry, we kind of went over this in the last thread. No heat source was the
cause unless I had a lightning strike.
Some felt it was my use of chemicals during restaining in the spring of '06
redused the siding's sensitivity to sunlight.
If it was chemicals, I think it would still be soft.

I think the chance of it being chemical related are close to zero. If it
was a chemical that got on the surface of the siding there is virtually
no chance that it would have any effect on the tyvek underneath.

Me too...

If it were me, I'd have that wall open in about thirty seconds to see
what the hell is going on inside it, first since patching some sheathing
is no big deal, and second since the melt pattern does seem to align
with one of those electrical boxes. The back of the apparent melt area
is mostly behind the counter so you may not be able to see if there is
evidence of heating on that side.

I started recommending that from the first time he posted, too...
