  1. Yeah, thats what mine looked like afterwards as well. Still working great.
  2. Just to update.....mine is indeed fixed. It has been working 100% of the time since I re-soldered the resistors last weekend.
  3. Excellent photos. They helped me out big time. I did this yesterday. First, I only soldered the 511 resistor, then put it back in, and it didnt fix it. Then I took it back out, resoldered the rest of the resistors on that side of the circuit board, and put it back in, and still nothing. I then took it out again, resoldered the resistors on the other side of the circuit board, and put it back in, and while driving to the store and home last night it worked. I am not convinced it is completely fixed yet, because it was kind of hit or miss before I worked on it yesterday. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didnt. If it continues to work correctly for a week or so, I will be convinced. The job itself is very doable, especially with the excellent photos. I just purchased my soldering iron last weekend, and had zero experience, and it was rather simple. It doesnt need to look pretty.
  4. Thanks for the help. Picked up a soldering iron this weekend, and I will give it a shot this coming weekend.
  5. Do we need to be disconnecting the neg. terminal of the battery when doing this? Also, I took a look at it, and I dont see a way of getting the circuit board out of the car. Are you guys doing this soldering in the car? Does it tend to drip? Another thing, the connections that would need soldering are very small. Do you need to use a very thin solder here, or is all solder the same diameter? I know these are very basic questions, I know nothing about soldering, and hate the idea of paying a couple hundred bucks to replace this part, when all it needs is some solder.
