Hey guys, I am fortunate enough to have a Soarer with a blinking dash... I need the best how to possible on fixing this crappy issue. My dash Only Goes on about half the time i'm driving my car now. And I think as winter sets in, its only going to get worse. Any links to how to replace the capacitors, and take apart the dash etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, you guys are all life saver.

Hey Joey,
I took my dash out, and striped it down to the two circuit boards (where the caps & transistor are at), then took it into the local electronics repair shop along with the tutorial which I printed off, and $27.50(NZD) & a coupla hours later she was all fixed, then I reinstalled, and it's been fine ever since (bout 1.5 years)

To get it out takes like 15-20 mins depending how long it takes to unclip those little ***** **** ****** clips hehehe. But i dont know how long it will take to fix it???

Then it takes about 5 mins to put it all back together. Much easier to put it back then take it out.
