Need some help with leds in climate control console! Options

[ScoTBouY]

I've got myself into a small problem, i started changing over the leds in the cc console, but cannot for the life of me get the leds behind the air con buttons to light! it seems they are running on a different circuit to the rest of the globes. Ive tried using 43, 470 and 530 Ohm resistors, but nothing works... was wondering if anyone else had this issue? or if any of you have a circuit diagram i could see. Im using 3.3V leds @ 30 Ohms


thx

Scotty

Run all of your LEDs from one circuit if possible. That's what I did. If not, grab a multimeter and check the polarity of what you're using for power source.

All fixed now thx for your help, still not happy with the backlighting tho, anyone know of a way to get it brighter, using t5 wedges that have been cut down atm... the light is more dark blue atm
