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?
