I'm trying to figure out how to separate 2 PCB's held together by solder less pins without destroying anything.
I need to separate these to get to some bad solder joints. This is a $1000 part that I know I can fix, if only I can access the points.
Are there special tools to pull these pins from the board? I'm assuming the pins are solid and are connected on each board. I've tried pulling them apart, but was afraid of breaking it. Thought of making a tool to try and pry them up, but again I'm afraid of destroying it.
My last though was to just saw the header in half and solder a new one on when I put it back together. I don't want to do this, but I'm beginning to think I'll have to.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
On a side note. Why the heck would a car manufacturer build headlight relays into the computer.... Basically my headlights stay on all the time. I took off the casing to the body control module and hooked it back to the car. I can LIGHTLY squeeze the relays and everything works as it should.
