Technical Indicators, fuel and temp gauges not working

Hi
Same problem arise for my uno 1.0 ie. inside the box where the fuses connect had some loose connections(or dry connections). It consist of two circuit boards. I had to solder all the connecting points with high power (200W) soldering iron.
By pressing two retaining clips you can easily remove the box. Remember to have a pix of fuse arrangement. It will make easy to put the fuse back. When removing the wire connectors put identifying marks for them.
I think this might work.
 
My entire dashboard just suddenly stopped working too.

I am not too sure where to start, but I did notice is that as soon as I turn on the keys as to start the lights would still come on, but more like a type of flash and then back off again.
So the only thing I could think of was that there must be a electrical problem.

So I took the entire ignition out and dismantelled it completely. I saw that from the outside that the one terminal was burnt and fused onto the ignition switch which I manged to get loose with a bit of a struggle.

When I opened the ignition switch I saw that the terminal that burnt actually caused one of the inner terminals to sink in and not make contact completely. I managed to wedge it out and bend it up a bit so that it can make contact.

I now have at least my headlights and some of the lights working, but the gauges as well as the choke light is not working. I have read through most of the posts about his issue and have checked to see if all is ok EXCEPT ONE. the RELAY. I am not too sure what relay I should be looking for and the guys at the store are not much help as it is a older car. Is there anyone that could help PLEASE.

TIA
Wez
