are you putting the greese under them that comes with them? heat kills them faster than anything.

Sometimes you end up with really cheap modules being sold to you, imported from who knows where. They don't have all the components they should. Canadian Tire is notorious for that.

Try a Blue Streak module. That solved my problem one time, when I went through about half a dozen of the dumb things in a few months.
