That_Supra_Guy Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hi chaps, noticed that the r/h warning light cluster on my non turbo j-spec has decided to stop lighting up on start up, im a total noob when it comes to electrical stuff. Anyone had similar issues and know the problem? My first guess would be a fuse blown seeing as the whole cluster's dead, if so where would I find this? Cheers!

heckler Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 known problem - dry solder joints on the PCB. A quick re-solder will sort it out No fuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As simple as that? sweet, so just touching each solder point with the hot soldering iron should freshen them up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That_Supra_Guy Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Update: Just for fellow warning light issue members, I done the above and it worked almost...then discovered after a little routing around the cluster that the pin's at the power input plug all had loose solder connections, so I soldered them up with fresh solder wire and tightened the screw (big bulge in the middle, its full of solder), this is the bit I mean: and then after re-install: ta da! working warning lights on start up.
