Default 4th gen AC panel led's going on and off (eletrical related)

So when I first bought my car nothing light up on the led control panel for the ac/heat. Then a few weeks ago the orange and green led's started to work then my heat, and ac button background led started working and today when I hit a bad bump in the road (unavoidable) all of my led's started to work again except all of the button led's in that group of 4-5? to the left. So I started hitting it then it would go off, then I hit it again then it comes back on but only a few of them that was previously working. So how should I go about fixing this I am guessing something is loose back there, How do I get to it?

It's your plug on the climate control that is messed up. Look up "4th gen climate control fix" or something like that....... there is a write up on how to solder the board where the points are broken. Worked great for me.

Okay, I found it but how can I tell that the original solder points are broken?
