Sup Folks,

I went and bought myself an EX cluster and I didnt install in until after a long while. When I went to go plug it in everything functions properly with the exception of it lighting up. I examined it closely and found this...
.

The yellow circle outlines the broken circuit.If anyone has ever had this problem and fixed it let me know how to do the same. Any help would be good help. Anything dumb keep to yourself.

Thanks,
-Jeff.

 

just add some solder in there, or go to the junkyard and remove a cluster and steal the electrical board.

 

This is a long shot but this will probably work wonders... Which doesn't involve any heat what so ever. So go to the auto patrs store and pick up a rear window defroster repair kit. most people have used it for over clocking cpu's. for closing jumper connections on cpus... you just brush it on and your set... it looks like nail polish for chicks... give it a try.

 

Ive never tried my hand @ soldering so that will be my last resort. Im gonna try that defroster trick, I hope it works so I dont wreck my board. Thanks for the help.

 

By a pen with conductive ink.

Screw those other methods

 

solder on that think plastic film? I dont think so, don't solder it whatever you do.

Thanks for lookin out.

 

im an electrical engineer...and we use conductive copper tape to test high frequency amplifier boards. it should work great for this application. you can probably find some of this tape a fry's or some other electronic store.

 

i have the same problem bump

Im new to my area and I dont believe that there is one in my area. Would I be able to find this @ Radio Shack?

 

actually...you might be able to. check their website or give them a call

Damn, I need to get that, for my actual rear window defroster. When I was taking off my tint all the defroster lines **** came off with it. Thanks. Ima have to go an pick some up.

 

here's a link to some copper tape

Follow the circuit for that burnt wire to that blob of solder. Just solder a wire to that blob and connect the other side to the wire on your harness, done. You might want to use some male/female connectors in the wire so that it can be removed along with the rest of the harness.
