Seems that they keep melting in one of the on positions. Currents are not very high so I am guessing that it is just a poor design in the plastic of the switches. >> OH YES. Mine melted in the 3rd position (high) and then eventualkly didn't turn on at all. I took it apart and it looks OK, but I still couldn't get it to work. I pulled the one out of my '86 parts van and it is held together with duct tape. It works though for a few days until i can go order one. Anyone know how much they are and a place to get them other than my unfriendly neighborhood VW dealer? Stefan |
