I'm assuming one important point is to not have solder melt onto the connection next to it. If by some slim chance this doesn't resolve my car not starting problem....where do you suggest I look next. Thanks in advance for all the info on this site and any future suggestions and help.
Depends on your no start symptoms. It may not be the RCM.
The RCM removes very easy and is just clipped in place.
If you have never soldered before google it looking for video results. Use only rosin core solder. Heat the board till the solder melts on the board while feeding new solder to the board not the iron.
