Hello, Has anyone ever repaired a circuit board on the back of an instrument cluster panel? I removed cluster to change some bulbs and when i put it back in now theres no lights . I noticed that there was a crack on the circuit board whre the electrical goes in. Could this be the problem? Any help would be appreciated. Oh yeah its a 97E-250 van with a 4.2.

 

It's possible.. It would be alot easier to just swap in a used cluster. I think you can change the odometer unit so it reads correctly I could be wrong on that though.

 

Does the crack appear to go through any circuit traces on the board ? If so you can jumper them over with solder or wire depending on how good you are at soldering.

 

I had a friend of mine whos pretty good at soldering jump them over circuit traces. Thank you both for your advise. Oh yeah its working good now.
