just had this on the heater motor, was working intermittantly, i found that the plg connector wasn't sitting snuggly over the pin, hence lose connection, sparks, and thus burning (in simple terms) i just used a precision screw driver to make the plug connection tighter by closing the gap and hey presto no fires!!
