Once you have the instrument cluster out, you remove the screws (6?) holding the back onto the front. When you separate these two, look just below the fuel and temp guages on the side of the main board which faces forward. The temp comp board is about 2 inches long, rectangular. Clean the pins by lightly scraping them. I use small dental tools. I also spray a little contact cleaner on a wire the size of the pins and run the wire through the 4 connectors on the temp comp board to clean them. I've had to do this twice on my '86 and '88 240s. While you have the cluster out, you can clean and tighten other electrical connections such as the guages and the voltage regulator.
