Common dash cluster issues question

Aw geez you are right I forgot to note that. Anyhow......add a grounding pigtail LOL

LOL - anywhere in particular that you recommend connecting a grounding pigtail to the cluster? Pick one of the small hex screws holding the board to the cluster and put a small ring connector on it?

Is this the article you're referring to? Circuit Board Connector Pin Broke

The last poster, inertia, mentions in post #25 holding the pin to the board with a cotter pin to hold the old pin in place from the back, but still soldering it to the board. Since my pin is only partially broken (i.e. 2 of the 4 crimps to the board are likely severed), I can probably easily keep it in place while soldering. Thoughts on whether I can safely solder from the front of the board (i.e. trace side)? Redfish mentioned in post #18 the risk of pulling the trace off if the pin is only soldered. The caveat is that I'm not great with a soldering iron. Looks like fellow member MoparMike1974 services these boards, so worst case I can fall back to finding a local automotive electronic shop or sending it to Mike. Just itching to drive the car - argh.
