Hi mark, came across this exact issue with my girlfriends 98 pulsar. Thanks a heap for pointing me in the right direction and allowing me a 10 minute fix while doing an oil change. Saved me a trip to the wreckers but just resoldering the joints. Would not have thought to look closer to find cracked solders. Quick fix and there back to normal. She’s gonna be stocked.

Hey Peter,

I guess just like everyone else, you have skills in the area that you work on the most. Schematics are crucial for accurate diagnosis nowadays, but sometimes you have to go 'old school' and just test how things work, Ohms law and other common problems. It is getting harder with all the electronics and data based systems, but still working with the basics will help you to arrive at a logical result.
The electronic microscope I use is a 5MP USB based unit. Here is a link.

I use this all the time, especially when looking for cold solder joints or SMD components.
Here is an example of my diagnostic methods on my YouTube Channel if you are interested.

Glad you enjoyed the article.
Cheers

Mark,
Super job, you make it sound so easy.
As others have suggested it's a physical challenge often as well as an info desert. Many car manufacturers have not properly controlled the electronics build quality Or evn attempted quality designs as seen here by severe cold joints.

May I ask what brand of electronic microscope you use, or maybe you can suggest an economical purchase. I have delayed due to uncertainty about essential specs etc
Thanks
