I remember someone posting a write up on their homepage about how to fix the timer control unit. Can someone please give me a link? Thank you

 

I'm not sure about time control unit, but I know for door lock timer and other things (clock), its just simply resoldering the joints on the board. I dont think it's anything more than that for the TCU unless I've missed something.

I have a thing on my homepage about changing the chime so it wont ding when you have the door open and keys in the ignition but not resoldering or fixing it.

hope that helps

 

yeah i remember the solution was to simply resolder a joint, but I wanted to see a picture of which connection it was exactly. I was looking at my tcu and i didn't see any joints that are bad, but i did see one that looked a little weird.
thanks for the help craig

 

I'd just go ahead and resolder all the joints anyway. There are lots of faults in solder that you cant see unless you get out the magnifying glass and really take a look. My door lock timer was that way - it looked fine but didn't work; resoldering brought it back to life.

Throw some flux on the joints first to help get the old solder to flow better

 

cool, thanks craig
