[DML] Re: Electrical Gremlins

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Go to a plumbing supply and get some of the little brushes they use to
clean the insides of copper fittings before soldering them. After
cleaning up the tailight boards as good as you can either solder the
rivets to the traces or get some tiny screws and nuts to tighten up
the rivets for better contact. Test the reverse switch with a meter.
