a couple of months ago I re-soldered a lot of the important connections on the dash itself thinking there were cracked solder joints in there. I had some success, for a couple of days I had no problems with the dash flickering or gauges reading incorrectly but eventually the dash started to flicker again and my sub gauges would show bad readings . Now that I have less trust in my cooling and oil pressure systems than I did before I tore the engine apart I want to know constantly what my coolant temps and oil pressures are but I want to keep the digital dash. I feel the problem lies in the black connector behind the dash that transfers all the data from the ECU to the digital dash unit. Has anyone had any success tearing that unit apart and manually splicing all the wires together?
The pictures I uploaded show my problem. After running for a bit the subgauges enter a position where coolant and oil pressure read zero and voltage reads 16. When I press on the dash (about where that black connector is behind the dash) the subgauges return to where (hopefully) my correct readings are.
alternatively, if anyone has my problem and has solved it, i would love to know what you did.
