The resolder job on the map light console should be a permanent fix, they just went light on the solder from the factory so it should be a one time thing.

Do we need to be disconnecting the neg. terminal of the battery when doing this? Also, I took a look at it, and I dont see a way of getting the circuit board out of the car. Are you guys doing this soldering in the car? Does it tend to drip? Another thing, the connections that would need soldering are very small. Do you need to use a very thin solder here, or is all solder the same diameter? I know these are very basic questions, I know nothing about soldering, and hate the idea of paying a couple hundred bucks to replace this part, when all it needs is some solder.
It's always a good idea to disconnect the battery when working with anything electrical, that being said I didn't but I like to live dangerously. The circuit board is removable, you need to take all 4 screws out and disconnect the gray plug going to it and it'll be free. I certainly wouldn't want to solder it in the car, I don't like to live that dangerously
It would be nice to have a fine tipped soldering iron, but I just used a normal one and it worked OK. I'm no pro at soldering either so I wouldn't worry too much about it, just keep the solder off the board to the best of your abilities and it'll work fine. -
It's pretty easy to get out/back in, just screws holding it in place. I'll try to eplain it from memory: You pry off the clear plastic piece that covers the bulbs, then you'll see a screw on each side towards the front of the car. Take those out and you'll be able to pry off the assembly. There are 2 more screws holding a cover for the board in place, remove those and the board will be free, then you just unplg the gray connector and you can take it out. Hope that helps!

Finally took the circuit board out, add me to the list of problem fixed! I'm sure it was the 511 resistor but I touched all of them up since I had it out and so far so good. It really isn't hard to do, I didn't take any pics because once you look at it it's really straight-forward.

I didn't either, but the wheel cleaner is good enough that it's worth it
-
^^Our local Costco has a 4 pack of wheel cleaner/tire shine (3 tire shine, 1 wheel cleaner) and that stuff works extrermely well, might be worth checking out!

Sounds like intereference caused by the antenna to me

I haven't tried it yet, but that's good news! Might need to give it a shot soon.

Might need to give this a shot, mine's doing the same thing and I'm getting tired of it

Damn that is quick! Nice work jmorris!

^If that happened to me I'd be doing a JDM front or even an 08-09 front end conversion. Sorry to hear it happened though

Thanks to all the vendors out there for taking the time to come here and offer their products and services!

PM sent Subadozer, thanks!

Just bumping this so i can find it easier when I tackle the 39 install, thanks as usual Mike your always a huge help!

Thanks I'm a big fan of them, I'm thinking of having my aluminum guys make some circles to fill in the dual drilling holes though. Yeah I could get some overlays done for ya, I'll send you a PM. The overlays on mine are gunmetal and silver I believe, but black and gunmetal would look great IMO

They'll look great as soon as you get those center cap overlays

quicksteel? that stuff is the shit! If there is anything zip ties or quicksteel can't fix I haven't found it
