Yes.  In my 88 I had the connector above the A/C duct get hot and would not
conduct the #2 speed circuit.  Some of the connector plastic melted and
interfered with the connection.  I searched for a reason for the connector to
overheat but could find no external reason.  I thinkk that perhaps my #2 speed
circuit was not making a good connection there and it caused the overheating.
I finally bypassed the 4-wide VW connector for the #2 circuit and installed
another connector.  The connector is approximately between the driver and
front passenger's heads.  To get to it, you'll need to remove the front AC
duct section above the windshield and the duct piece connected to it.

Good luck,
