Default Problem with LED swap.

So i just soldered all of my resistors and LEDS to my gauge cluster. I went to the car to see if all of the lights work. All of the lights work except the LCD screen lights, and the LEDS that illuminate the numbers basically the top row. Anyone know how i can fix this? Or wtf i did wrong?

Thanks

yup... connections and polarity..

and depending on your soldering, if you turned up the heat too much and/or left the iron on it too long, you may have killed one or two leds.

Sounds like you reversed the polarity on one or more of the LEDs or fried one
