Center Gauge
Gents I am In the process of putting in a new(old) dash. Mine was badly cracked on pass. side.
It appears that some prev. owner added/modified the center gauge cluster. Any ideas as to why or what the mod accomplished.
Should I take the wires off that were added??? Would you replace the circuit pad??

Short answer: I would replace the printed circuit board.
It would appear that's a "repair" made to fix a circuit on the board was opened (usually caused by a short to ground) resulting in an open land pattern on the board.
Fix it once and fix it right.

If you look at the pcb, look for a burned spot. If the original owner had a short there was a time when these were not available so he probably jumpered the circuit.
The circuits are available now in reproduction and will work just fine.
