CUCV-Instrument Cluster Decoded

[Warthog]

Is it possible to solder a connection on the printed circuit board where maybe it has worn or rubbed through and rusted out. My Gen 1 light comes on and My Gen 2 does not. Upon inspection, the printed circuit board had rubbed through and the copper conduit was rusted and/ or missing. Seems like some solder there would do the trick. Everything else works good after a brass brush, diaelectric grease, and bending the connectors out on each light socket.

Checkout my solution to the problem.

curious I have a few gauges that were not original to the car/cluster. Can I pop them into a port and rewire them independant of the harness on the cluster, Voltage, oil psi, coolant temp etc. I have gen 1 and 2, seat belt, wait, and a low coolant. Just curious I have a spare cluster and may be the next project...

Over the years I have also found that coca cola in a bowl will clean the circuit board very wel. Rinse in clean water, let it dry and use dielectric grease.
