The dreaded lights on dash going out has happened. Only turn signals and hi beam light light up. Traced the problem to the connector that is the female on the top board (the one visible after taking the metal back off of dash. The ground connection is not making good contact and has heated up to the point of discoloring the white plastic housing (now brown and brittle around the ground) and discoloring the metal part. Looks good at the solder joint. Cleaned it up and plugged the board back in, but when you pull it back off, the metal does not spring back instead it stays kinda open (wish I had found that out "before" putting the dash all back together. Anyway, re-shaped the metal clip a little and it seems to be working (pulled the board of and back on a couple of times) Lights working for now. I would like to get a new connector for that board and un-solder the old one and solder a new one in its place. Anyone know where I can find a connector like the one that is on there now?
