Default Soldering the RCM board
Ok so I watched videos on how to solder the RCM board because my car has been giving me problems starting up whenever it wants, but nobody explains what type of soldering material I should buy? Need help

You are probably right.
Spend a few extra bucks and buy one that will last a lifetime ( mine has, so far 62 years ) :

Same one that I purchased in 1972, a red case, $8. I still have the bill in the case. Made in Canada.

You will need rosin core solder, some comes with the kit.

Read how to solder and practice, a poor soldering job could do more harm than good. If in doubt get someone who knows how to do a good soldering job.

Be sure to look at the relays also, they have been known to go bad and if so, soldering will not do much good.
