1994 Ls400 Radio Back Lights

And again ............ this mini heatwave is maybe expanding the solder joints rather than shrinking them ...... the backlights have been as good as gold !

The cold weather, when the backlights vanished, maybe shrunk the joints ?

Heat and drying out or heat and metal ( solder ) expanding versus cold and NOT drying out and cold and metal shrinking !

Well, I don't know BUT it's keeping good and well so far touch wood.

It will go again, I'm afraid but you are right about the warmer weather affecting the joint/s

Wow, that is so fine ...... absolutely noway that I could ever possibly " fix " the problem personally ......... it would be oh so good to know of a kind soul who could achieve this for me when my time has come !!

Malc

Actually, you probably could. And I will write it up soon.

Hi Steve,

Were you able to write up your fix for the stereo back light? This link was on an earlier post, is it different to what you were working on?

I have the same problem on my 1995 Mk3 and not sure I feel confident enough to tackle it myself!!

Just checked and that link doesn't work, hopefully this one will:
