i can fix that, or you could also if you can solder

just follow the damaged traces to both destinations then solder a lead in between and its as good as new

 

Don't blame nissan, they don't have to make everything on the car idiot proof. You should just be more carefull when dismantling electronics.

:lol:

looks like you just scratched the clear coat on that...doesnt look like the paths are severed...get a better picture man.

 

well if its just scratched it will be fine... but if theres and breaks in the trace then you will need to run a lead from point-point

 

Maybe so, I'll buy some new LED's and put it back togather and see what happens. Only thing, is I'm not sure which side of the LED plug is positive and the other being the ground.

the flat side of the LED bulb is negative i believe. if you look close on the bulb you'll see what im talkin about.

 

Yeah, on the bulb is no problem, but on the PCB is where I am lost, both sides are identitical. :0

that you'll have to trace from the source. i might be able to help you with a clearer picture. it really doesnt look that much damaged from this pic, like you just scratched the surface.

 

I wish there was a way to get this thing power before I plug it into my car.

--Garrett

 

just hook it up to the appropriate voltage and ground and it should power up

That's the thing, there ar e about 9 plugs in the back, and I'm not sure which ones are ground, power, and data, and if I hook it up backwards......bam.

--Garrett

 

you can find out which ones are power and ground with a dvm, just go into the car and hook up to whichever wire is black (normally ground) and look for positive with dvm (could be as small as 5mv depending on if you see a transformer on that board) whichever one has a steady state value should be positive, i'm guessing the other 7 are outputs from that board so they will be 0v
