lol you and your projects bro... measure twice cut once already.. :-P

 

I swear, I checked, double checked and triple checked those pins because I didn't want this exact thing happening.

I will admit though, I was approaching fall down drunk when I did the re-soldering job......It's a top notch job except that I missed a bloody pin.

 

lol so you can't afford that new wheel but you can afford to get "fall down drunk"... some priorities need adjusting my friend.. lol

 

It never hurts to have a drink once in while twice a week. That wheel is going to cost more to replace than a bottle o'captain.

Best price I've found is $175 for a single rim, or $200 for two....which I had, but then I had to pay rent.

I finish school in Jan. I'm hoping to find a job damn soon after that, when I do everything will be golden.

 

lol pinch your pennies then bro... buy the rim and hold off on the projects till you can afford them.. no sense in breaking things you can't afford... I've learned the hard way as you can imagine... lol

 

Except for the lights I bought that came before the rim incident, I've had the parts for everything else I'm doing and so it hasn't cost me a penny.

 

So get this....now one of my lights in my switches went out. The drivers window switch is no longer illuminated blue.

I don't know what happened. It was on, I blinked then it was off.

This thing is proving to be the bane of my existence and the ultimate test of my skills lol.

I have to disassemble it AGAIN and poke around.... I just wanted to be done with it, the more Ihave to open it up the more I risk breaking tabs or something.

 

are you using lead-free solder?

 

The type of solder being used is only relevant in the amount of heat to melt it. Newer lead free just takes a higher temp to melt than tin/lead solder does.

The amoutn of contamination on the connection is what I'd be concerned about if he's not getting good contact.

 

Just goes to show, better left alone.
