while working on my instrument cluster with the oil, fuel and temp I burned 2 tracks that I can see. Are these boards repairable or do I have to buy another? 1984D

I've burned a couple of tracks on my fuel, oil and temp cluster. Can this circuit be repaired? 1984 300D

But the good news is the junk yards are full of them,

Are you referring to the grounds / tracks?

I somehow shorted out the ground track to the oil pressure gauge and it was dead. The tach and clock, although working, were no longer accurate. Somehow, I did this taking out and installing the cluster back into the dash.

I took a wire from behind the cluster (metal area) by the clock and grounded it to the car. Everything came back to life again. Had to be some type of ground track I messed up!
