Are there any companies that specialize in repairing PCBs for cars ?
Good day, I cannot answer your question directly, but I can tell you that in general terms PCB is a PCB regardless of where it is used. There are PCB substrates/fabrications, etc that are more specific (i.e. high temp, etc). but these are generally not used in Auto industry. So, I guess what I am saying is that any firm that can repair PCBs would no doubt be a candidate for you. Also, your question is somewhat vague... Is the PCB itself damaged, the circuitry, or both? If the PCB itself is damaged is it do to an electrical issue or mechanical (i.e. physical damage)? Post a picture and perhaps myself or others can comment and/or assist. Cheers, Sam
Depending on the car reach out to @theunissenguido on here for his replacement fuseboards. Excellent product. I swapped out the board in my 456GT
A multi layer PCB is almost impossible to repair but single layer is still doable depending on what is damage.
Impossible? It depends on the issue you are having...burned up trace? Jumper wire...other than that, it could be pretty "basic" component failure...meaning the components are still generally going to be on the external layers. Automotive PCB's are generally crap. If it's not potted, You will end up patching a trace since the slightest bit of heat will lift one. I've done repairs on GM clusters...crap. I've done several repairs on my Ferrari cluster. Better, but again, crap. I have an extra cluster I use just for parts. I was a manger at an electronics manufacturing company making Class 2 and 3 electronics. Industrial and aerospace applications. The quality is night and day from automotive.
I meant to say is it’s impossible to repair if the layer between the external layer are damage. But external yes, you can still repair depending on how bad the damage is.
