Anybody got any other ideas, all my 680 and 620 capacitors are tight. Everything else looks good also. My compass regularly calibrates. Thanks for any help.

would anyone know how to fix, or where to find the schematic for my overhead console? The resistors were gone as usual so I sent it off and had it repaired, now I have found that there is no power on any of the wires on the plug in at the console. any ideas?
please help!!!!!!

SWEET!
I just did this last night to my 2003 F350 and it now works perfectly. Saved a little money and have something working again.
Took it apart and two of the chips were laying there. I soldered them back in and also re-flowed the other chips like them because the solder joints looked cracked.
Thanks again for posting this type of info.

I have to say, I was a bit scared to sotter on the board, but hey it was not working to begin with.
I followed the directions, and now it works.

Here is how it mounted onto the board.
