My apologies, tmoss, I didn't comprehend the fact he's using a Cobra PCM. In this case, I'd go for it, too, and try to jumper the severed connection. Be sure to use sandpaper or at least scratch the PCB until it's clean enough to solder!
ripperdog: if you don't think you have the experience or ability (nothing against you at all) to solder the gap, I'd suggest you at least try to find someone who does it professionally, even if it costs a couple of bucks. You might want to find somebody in an electrical or electronics trade, or somebody that has a lot of TVs sitting in their yard. Well...mebbe not that last recommendation, but you get the idea. Hell, grab a (good) tech at Best Buy and ask him to take a look at it 'after hours'! Might be worth it.
PKRWUD: do you remember a loooong while back when you asked me about why carbureted drag race cars use 'longer runners', and street cars used 'short' ones? Well...I have the answer for ya. PM me if you wanna hear my rant/babbling about it.
...and yes, that harness pinout is a b!tch, ain't it? Makes you wonder what they were smoking that day in the lab...
