Headlight Relay ... Again

Before I start, I want to say "Thank You" to Ari for his help in fixing my headlight relay. His post told me exactly how to re-solder some of the cracked connections within the relay.
Unfortunately, that wasn't the problem. (It was worth a shot, though.) Looking at it under natural sunlight, there is a section of dark green on a light green circuit board. Upon closer inspection, I realized that what I was looking at was a fried connection.
So, if you're taking a look at your headlight relay, look for (1) corrosion around the soldered connections, (2) cracked solderings, and (3) burn marks within the circuit board. The first two can be fixed. As far as I know, the last one can't.
Bummer, no?
Sincerely,
Michael O'Brien (USA)
