It is super easy to resolder the joints. Remove the light and the 2 torx screws behind the motion sensors. After that you have easy access to the solder points (2 of them on each side of the metallic bars, see pic below from gators video). Precision is not important here - just heat the joints up until the old solder flows. You can use a solder sucker or wick to remove the old solder but this really isn't necessary if you add new solder with rosin flux core - this will burn off any residual oxidation material. Once cooled, reassemble in reverse order. The whole process will take 30 minutes and you can literally buy a soldering station for less than a new switch assembly.
