Richard! Sorry to have bugged you at work, I greatly appreciate you taking some time to answer my questions. I will try cutting (the brown wire as close to the board as possible) and soldering the wires this weekend in an attempt to get my FCM back up and working. Below are the pictures I emailed you! I will also pull the gauge from the pod and align everything like you mentioned. If I can't get the FCM to work I will pull it from the car and have it shipped to you immediately. I will refrain from cutting any of the wiring that is attached to it and just ship the entire unit with all of the cord. Thanks again!
I will make sure my job looks better than the one below!
