I've done three "levels" of repair to the board.

First was simply respoldering the pcb, cleaning and tightening the four female connectors and cleaning the mating male pins (on the cluster pcb).

Second, I've replaced the transistor.

Finally, I've replaced the IC (got a bag of 'em cheap on eBay).

Twice I found that simply resoldering didn't help -- that's when I escalated the repair to include parts. That did the trick.

Frankly, I'd follow Randy's advice and try installing a jumper rather than screw around with the stupid compensation board. It's a PITA.
