I pulled the instrument cluster from my '82 Euro.

I was having two problems, maybe a third.

My igniter circuit for my alternator did not seem to work
and the bulb for the battery charging never lit.

My water temp gauge never moved.

Not sure my odometer worked consistently. I did note it worked
sometimes, but not always?

I pulled my IC and noticed that some of the traces on the third
connector were pealed back -- any suggestions here
or am I looking at having to find a new mylar or cluster?

I was expecting four connectors -- this IC only has 3
can anyone tell me what year it is and where I can find
an electrical schematic diagram?

There is a 4/22/00 date in marker/paint on the side -- not
sure if this is the date this car was imported/converted or not.

thank you for any help and pointers.

you need a new Foil. Call Roger, thats where i got mine. that sure is alot of corrosion.

You can replace the foil or you can solder jumper wires around the breaks...

has anyone successfully soldered on connector landing pads and still have the connector work,
or are you suggesting to bypass the connector by soldering wires to each landing
and build my own connector?

BTW,

what year cluster is this?

I soldiered wires to all the connections on my '81. Nothing worked and a new foil wasn't to be found. Everything works now.
I tried every trick to clean/restore but no luck. You gotta be quick with a soldiering gun, buts not hard to do. I took pics.
