Re: 5KTQ Dash Lites Problem



Stephane:

Yes, I had thought of that.  I guess it is a trade off, an expensive
easy to get at part (the cluster switch) vs the cheap but hard to get to
fix (soldering the board on the dash cluster).  

I just want to eleiminate all the hard to do but cheap options first, so
that I don't have to do them anyhow after replacing that switch.

Thanks
