A/C Programmer



I've seen several discussions on fixing the A/C programmer in these pages.
One question I haven't seen answered is where to do the solder repair.

I have an '86 5000cstq that has had A/C problems for a while.  I resoldered
the connections of the solenoid wires to the pins that go through the
programmer circuit board.  After this fix, the A/C worked great for a few
days, then reverted to its old self.  Air is coming out the floor and or
defroster vents when set to Auto or Bi-Level. Last night, I could hear one
of the solenoids chattering and the dash vents were not supplying any air.
I suspect I made (at least) one bad solder joint.  I intend to resolder them
tonight.

Did I fix the right solder joints?  Should I be looking at the solder
jointsd between the pins and the board?  

Any help here is greatly appreciated.
