I have an intermittent fuel gauge (sender ohms reading always appropriate). Recently, it works much more reliably when ambient temp is lower. I've read here that one fix to troublesome mounting/electrical contact screws is to solder the connections. The reasoning was that Volvo used some weird metal for these screws and that it would corrode or something. My question: has anyone tried substitute screws? For example, would stainless steel be a logical next step?
(I am hesitant to solder to the flexible circuit board on the back of the cluster.)

Thanks.
