68 Dart damaged instrument cluster circuit board

Jason Maitland said
I'm actually concerned about reinstalling and potentially breaking the pins again when plugging back in... For that reason I was thinking to replace all pins, any tips on re-installing? I find it really challenging to access where needed up behind the cluster itself and didn't even realise I had to unplug both boards until I spent a lot of time feeling around for what was creating the resistance to removing the cluster itself...

I personally would not attempt to resolder the pins. Some have done it with good success but I did not want to go through all that work just to have something happen. Buying the replacement board was a no brainer for me. When I took my boards out it looks like someone tried to solder the pins but did a lousy job. No thanks!
