My 87 GL Wolfsburg Edition seems to need a new printed circuit board on the
back of the instrument cluster. It is in a bad way where it meets the
connector. I have tried fixing it by resoldering and using copper tape. They
worked for a while but not anymore. Are there other fixes? Am I the only one
with this problem? How much do these printed circuit boards go for and does
anyone have one?

Thanks,

Jean-Woo
