S14a rev counter not working

[worlely]

Hi everyone,

Got my first 200sx s14a last week and loving it

The rev counter is not working and after researching apparently the solder dries out?
So I stripped it out, put a little new solder on the board however the board looks a bit toasted, see pic. Does this look completely fecked?

After trying the solder, put it all back together and it works a tiny tiny bit but most of the time just goes mental

Is this busted beyond repair? Or should I try adding some more new solder? Any pointers would be appreciated!

Yeah I have the same issue with my s14 and re-soldering didn't work for me either. Have you confirmed that you are actually getting a tach-o signal and ruled out it being a wiring issue and not the gauge?

Yeah it doesn't seem to be the wiring. That all looks good
It does work occasionally since I've tried resoldering it which I think has improved it but not fixed it permanently.

Get your soldering iron out again 99.9% certain it will be 1 of the pins on the back of the cluster
