So do I take apart these connectors before soaking them? I’m confused.

Also,

where are the motors? I may have to try to fix it.

the HVAC fan switch is what your soaking not the wire connector attached to the wiring harness. the switch will need to be removed from the HVAC housing first - comes out the back. And yes your will carefully disassemble the switch to get to the inners b/c soaking them will not be enough, you will likely need to scrub too- - attached is a pic of the switch... (and the person is clearly very high if they want that much $$ for it)

the sunroof motors are behind the headliner - located in the front middle of the sunroof drip tray - cant miss them once the headliners out.

These must be specially made from some of that rare "unobtanium" I used to get them for about $20 used and clean them myself. You do have to be careful to keep track of the springs inside.

i guarantee you there are millions off other cars that fit. Like those Lamborghini flashers that were made by ford you could buy for $15 a set on eBay or pay for the ones that had ford and Lamborghini on them in fine print for $8500

hen it is -5 degrees(F) outside, and the switch fails, so you put a wire in place of the switch, then find a 12 ga wire isn't adequate and it starts to smoke, And you have 50 miles to drive home with a blowing snowstorm at 11:30 PM, you will want to have a good switch in place. Been there, froze my toes off.
