I am still using the original circuit board. I have it at work today to repair a trace to the connector slot. When I was in trouble shooting mode I was constantly plugging and unplugging the darn thing and one trace needs to be re-glued back down. I haven’t looked up what trace it is yet. When I restored the cluster I did a check on all the traces and they checked out. The new damage could be the culprit. I am leaning on the ignition switch as it seems to be a little sloppy. I did change the key tumbler out, not the switch itself when I picked up the car.
I looked up the trace and I am repairing the common for Temp, Gen, Temp, & Oil. The trace lifted up at the very end where it drops down into the socket. I will clean all contacts till they are shinny new looking again.
I hope this is the end game I will find out tonight.
