Odometer Soldering Fix??

Livin4Real · 01-05-2012, 03:35 PM

I bought and downloaded a little repair sheet for fixing the digital odometer fade issue over a year ago but never got around to doing it. I have since reformatted my laptop and erased it by accident. Does anyone have a copy or know what I'm referring to? It explains which solder points to re-solder to make your digital odometer display again. Apparently it is a common issue with the explorers having a bad solder job on the lcd board, mine used to work intermittently but has since quit working altogether and I am going to finally break down and pull the cluster out to fix it. I have a 2002 Explorer, thanks for any help.
