My independent mechanic just told me that this assembly will melt from the heat (the aluminum) and to get a new assembly. I was also having intermittment problems. I have not got a new assembly yet.

Since the bulb eventually gets power, can I rule out the fuses?
The connections seem very solid, no corrossion or anything. what is my next step? is there some way to pop off that whole assembly and see where the wires connect from the underside? I looked in the trunk and there didn't seem any easy to way to do that.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
thanks!
