Climate Control Fix?

[squeefoo]

So as some of you may know I sent my climate control display to Jerry Tucker to get fixed about 2 yrs ago. Last fall it started to become intermittent, a tap on the dash would light it up again. Lately if the panel would shut off the whole thing would die, nothing worked. This afternoon after searching the forums for a fix, I thought I would take the dash apart again just to look.Nice cool garage, I figured it would work just to screw me.It didn't work, yippee, remove the cover, etc. when I unscrewed the last screw it suddenly came on, if I barely moved it -on and off. Put all the screws in sometimes it works others not. Seemed like a connector, so I put some OX-GARD onto the pins with a small brush, just a thin film or it could cause shorts. OX-Gard is an antioxidant compound for AL to Copper joints or AL to AL electrical joints, (if your remote control gets funny put this between the contacts -just a thin film) the tube claims to "penetrate aluminum oxides to maintain to maintain inter-strand and interconductive current paths." No matter what I do to the display now it won't shut off. I realize only time will tell but thought I would pass this along since it really seemed to be the connectors on mine. I hope it was.

Check out LonAllenQ45 posts on his fix. I have a jpg showing the solder joints that usually fail I can email to you.

I read as much as I could; then decided it needed some direct action. If this doesn't work that'll be next, I forgot how easy it is to get to. I had it apart awhile ago and saw what Jerry soldered in. Thanks a bunch. I am at: [email protected]

Now that I've soldered everything as outlined, it doesn't work at all now. Why do I exist in this self-doubt world at all??!! Why do I listen to you people at all? THANX
