The one I ordered thru Bus Depot for $5.00 was wired differently that
the one on my 87 so you might be careful about getting one from
them. Nelson Hogg

  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?
