Default C5 fuel sender...Can this be repaired?

I was moving the sender to the new RSI fuel hat and l ended up pulling the wire and solder completely off the board. Can it be resoldered or reattached or do I need to order another sender?

I've never had any luck soldering one...

Judging from the pits on the sensor, it was bad anyway.

I agree. I think those leads are silver-soldered anyway and that involves even more heat that regular solder.

Driver's side GM part # for a C5 is: 10333749 or the AC Delco # is SK1318. It is available from several sources, including some forum sponsoring dealers or RockAuto, etc, so there's no need to pay full list price from a regular dealer.

It not the solder, but the fact that you are trying to solder to a circuit board.

The large area meant to attach the wire to is pulled off the board.
The small remaining trace is not strong enough to securely hold the wire in place.
