Anyone ever repair loose connector pins on the back of the speedo were they connect to the board?
I have an intermittent connection between the pin and the left signal light indicator on the board.....

For small repairs on these flexible circuit pieces, I have had great success with using a CircuitWriter conductive silver paint pen. You pretty much just draw your repair, let it dry, and it’s all done.

I tried solder on mine with no luck. I'm not that good a solder on easy stuff.
My next plan was to use small screws to hold on wire pigtails but bought a used speedo on eBay cheep and just used the circuit board.
