Is there a Fix for this?

I have to shove the plug into the back of the cluster just to make SOME lights work. Is there any way to fix this?? Thank yal God bless.

um im not really sure what is the problem but i do know that you can re solder traces on and even use a very small wire. heres a repair i did from one of my burnt out traces but i dont know if this is what your problem is

I have no idea what this is. Mine is the back part of the cluster.

What kind of car is it ? I just replaced the printed circuit in my Malibu. I bought a used one but that one had a small defect so I decided to get a new one. Got it from Mikes Montes. I think it was just under $100

81 Elco. Rally cluster.

Pull the cluster out. The printed circuit has a number printed on it. Pretty sure theres only two different ones. Call Mikes Montes and get a new one. Real easy to switch out.

Heres the one you probably need. http://www.mikesmontes.com/New-Printed-Circuit-with-Gauges_p_757.html

I'm gonna try and solder wires thru it see if that works.

OK the solder didnt work . If I press the plug really hard towards the circuit board then some lights work. Anybody else had this problem before where it's only been the circuit board and not the plug? I'm just hoping I don't buy a new circuit board and my problem still unsolved.
