Is this anything to worry about?

Just been dismantling my clocks to fit a new MFA screen and noticed something odd on the blue printed circuit board.

On the 3rd strip from the right labeled 12 61 (no idea what it means) appears to be raised all the way from the connecting tab to the resistor the other side of the clocks.

Almost looks like its burnt out.

Everything works (most of the time) apart from the MFA screen so have put it all back together and done Briano's connection plumping idea on the plug but thought I'd pose the question before I refit.

Anyone know specifically what this particular track does??

According to wiring diagram in Haynes, the 12th connection on the 14 pin plug has a blue wire in the plug, and the track leads to 'generator warning lamp', which I think is the red led that comes on at start up, and might stay on if car is drawing power from the battery rather than the alternator.

That is De-lamination, as long as the copper run is intact you shoudl be ok.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.
