What Magoo said, use a pencil type iron (not a big Weller gun) just touch the tip to each place where a wire comes through the board, when it gets kind of glassy looking (solder becomes liquid) keep holding the tip where it is and just barely touch a new piece of solder (rosin core) to the spot. Remove the tip of the iron from the spot, let cool and proceed to the next. As I recall, like Magoo said, the hardest part was getting to the board. To get the plastic cover off I had to remove the fan speed switch housing which requires slight prying in 2 directions at once. Picture #1 - CCU removed from dash. Picture 2 - What you're going to be working on. Picture 3 - Soldering. Hope this helps some.
