Warning light cluster Soldering?

Does anyone happen to know if there are any ppl out there who can resolder the warning light cluster. I remember a long time ago on Teamfc3s.org there was a guy who would do it for descent price. If you could pm me a link or any ideas on were to find wher i can get it done that would be great. Thanks

if you're looking to get the clock working, you don't need any soldering skills to get that done. just buy a cheap iron and go to town on the big solder joints on the back of the clock.

it was the first thing i ever soldered

Take an ohm meter to the questionable contacts/traces. When repairing a solder joint, remove the old solder first. Don't just reheat the old solder. If a trace is burnt up, jumper a wire from 2 points on that trace. Done.

I resoldered so many Warning light panels I got from the junkyard....the clocks never worked. Either I suck at soldering or somethings wrong with my clock wiring.
