I haven't done anything yet as I got busy. I'm looking to try smaller solder. The solder I'm using takes to long to heat, and when it does I have trouble keeping it neat

I cheat, I just melt a tad bit of solder to the tip of my gun and then reflow the solder on the board. Works great!

You know thats not a bad idea. Might have to try that out. I'll wait till I get the smaller solder first just incase I can't get it to work right.

Pay for shipping both ways and send it to me, I'll reflow the joints for you and get it working if that's the problem it has! Just an idea!

Update I finally got the correct size solder and reflowed ALL joints. We'll see how this works seeing as its a hot weekend

So does it seem to be working correctly now, didn't it start flashing or something when you first tried to reflow the solder?

Yup its all good now. I even did the reflow of the joint for my PRNDL light in the cluster and got that back working also. Thx for the info

Right on, glad it all worked out in the end! Mine still has worked flawless so I knew that was gonna be the solution for you as well! Love it when a plan comes together! :happy160:

Super easy to take out of the truck and work on it indoors! If and when you do, could you please update your results on here!
