That's because the switch body is thermoplastic; it softened and the contact pressure drove the hot contact down into the switch body. On a desert island you'd find a way to fix it. Bus Depot, Van-Again, no doubt others have new; Chris Turner <jordanvw@aol.com> no doubt has used ones -- if used, try to get one from a rear blower, they're the same switch but less load on them. But if you add a relay for the high speed you shouldn't have any further switch problems. On the 1.9l the circuit is overloaded but the 2.1l don't need a new circuit, I think, just getting the load off the switch; so you can take the 30 terminal off the switch supply, cut and use the high-speed wire from the switch for the 85 terminal; 86 to ground and the other one to the fan high-speed wire.
