I repair with leaded solder. As yet, only New Jersey is the only
state working on regulations akin to the EU RoHS.
It works fine.
I see... A lot cheaper than the official repair of
replacing the PCB
(in my expeirence car electronic modules are a form of legalised
robbery!), and doubtless much more reliable.
You're not just whistling Dixie! A headlight relay for the Volvo can
be had for no less than about $220. Open one up and there's a relay
and a 4000-series CMOS IC and a few discrete components.
Highway robbery indeed.
