all 3 of the wires were broken off. is there any way to repair this or do I need to get a new one? ive seen lots of threads on cleaning and replacing but not this kind of repair, if anyone has any references please let me know.
Thanks.
P.S. if its not fixable, id like one shipped to 95370
my gauge wasn't working so I pulled the send out and this is what it looked like

its an easy job, Not like soldering surface mount chips

if you can find out what material their made out of they can probably be replaced.
Or you can always buy a new one but i heard they're expensive.

looks like you can buy it, but its probably easier to pull a good used unit.
