Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
OK. Dash came back apart with no problem. I removed the gauges from the cluster.
You can see how much corrosion was on the posts on the back of them.
The copper contact area on the circuit board was tarnished also.
I tried using a pencil eraser to remove the tarnish from the circuit board but it didn't want to come off so I ended up using some fine sandpaper instead. While I was at it I scuffed the contact surfaces for the light sockets.
I had used a wire wheel to clean the posts on the gauges. With the corrosion removed I re-assembled the cluster and I'm ready to re-install it now.
