Make sure to put plenty of "WHITE" "heat-sink" grease under the module, or it will fail again...dielectric grease won't do it. Check for bare spots on the wiring in there too.

Most auto parts stores will carry the heat sink grease(I don't recall the proper name for it)for module installtion.Dielectric grease is good for spark plug boots - both ends,inside wire connectors and on lamp contact bases.While you have the dist open,before you install the module,you could use a good quality electrical contact cleaner - most have a drying agent - to clean the housing of residue from the contact arc inside the cap.Low pressure compressed air,even the can type you use on computors,is good to clean it ou.
