This is also a good way to find out what actually dies. The more common problem as I've heard it, was you rapped on the dash to get the gauge to behave again, not a hard component failure on the board. The fault, as described by the Bentley and others, is in the connection between those pins and sockets, partially blamed on excess flux getting in the way.

So if you didn't see any burned resistors on the TC board, a fix might have been in the scraping that happened when the board was removed and reinstalled.

Another way to avoid soldering is to wrap the pins with the jumper wire. A wire-wrap tool makes it a breeze, but lacking that, a bit of dexterity and a needle nosed plier will do just as well with results.
