Burnt Window ECU Repairable?

Evnin just removed my electric window ecu to do the fix to get rear windows working as soon as I removed it I could see the burnt diodes and this on the other side , no doubt started from dry joints. Do you think its fixable or time to get a new ecu?

Yes, it is repairable ... if you have the tools to do the job along with the expertise of working on damaged PCBs, but be prepared to buy a replacement ecu anyway.

The new diodes must be connected the correct way round (of course), as shown on the diagram or printed on the board and prior to the new components being fitted, all traces of carbon should be removed because of the possibility of shorts across the board between the pads.

You might also have to wire the new diodes back to the nearest clean solder pad rather than try to solder them to the damaged ones.

I have repaired boards in a worse condition than that, but back then I had all the proper kit for doing it.

Don't bother, replace the ecu.

Cheers guys. A think ill get a new (used) one, as they are about 25 delivered on ebay and then I dont need to worry about another short causing a fire but interesting you have repaired worse brian.

It's easy just to get another one and save the hassle of fixing yours
