Hey so I'm in the process of making my cars ugly green into red and I'm doing the 4 button defrost button control thingy and got the bottom one all soldered up easy and working, but I figured the top indicator LED that turns on when you push the button was the for where the resistor needs to go! but I tried doing that and it never worked :S so I'm confizzled and don't know if the possitive side is on the otherside or not! I guess what I'm asking is which side do I put the resistor.. I've heard that it doesn't matter but I tried both and neither seem to work :S am I just screwing it up? I dunno haha! as well as with all my screwing around I managed to disconnect the "old" leads from the 2 pinchy things and I dunno what to do about that I've been just trying to re squish the new led and resistor in there, but I don't know if the old ones were put in there special or something that I'm not doing...!
anyways after like an hour of screwing around and it not working I decided to ask for help...! pictures of how you fit the LED and resitor into the top indicator light spot would be sweet too if anyone has them?

Thanks a bunch for ANY help!

Personaly i didnt bother with the top indecator lights in either the traction control or defroster... and no it does not matter which side the resistor is on BUT it does matter which way the LED is going .... try turning it around... better yet go buy a multimeter and test the power your playing with so you always know what your doing :)

haha well I have one but I was being a smart ass and decided to try fixing it without it... (strike 3) and well lets just say there was a spark when I plugged it in and now I have no headlights or HVAC lights or dash lights (minus the LCD screens) mang I fudged up!
