I've "rebuilt" mine by replacing burnt
wires. I wish I tore mine down like yours,
it would have been easier to solder the joints.

That wiring used Teflon insulation. I think the problem was some units the wire touched the case and that wore though the insulation. When I first bought my car I had the same problem. I ended up getting a rebuilt unit from John Hervey. There is a thermal switch in there that switches a higher or lower power heating dependent on temperature.

They're not terribly difficult to rebuild if you have the right kit and good instructions. https://k-jet.biz

Typically when they burn up they can be repaired but then they must be recalibrated. John H used to do it.

I'm thinking mine was good other than the broken/burnt up wires. I found fuse 7 hot/melting so this was the first thing I went to.....
