Bailey. Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Dry joints, mine were all cracked where the ribbon joins in, there tight together though,,,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Also worth checking the connector as I have identified this on my car as a problem area. Lights were working perfectly until I took the dash apart. Then this cluster didn't work at all unless i tapped the panel. Classic dry joint symptoms but some fiddling with the connector plug and all is now well. And has been for months. Unless of course that is coincidence and they are dry joints! I'm certainly no expert on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certainly no expert on this. More than likely yours is dry solder aswell. I done the same as you but they went again after about a year. Best thing is get a solder iron (preferably with a pointed tipp) & just touch all the solder joints again, that should liquidise the solder & get rid off all your cracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
