Ok, did you make sure that blue pad is back in and laying flat on the board? Make sure you put the switch back together exactly as it was. The only way the led could cause a problem is if it was it the way of that blue pad making contact with the board. Other than that, maybe you burn a trace on the board when soldering. I hope you get it fixed.

How many individual LED's did you use for this project

6 for the gauge lights, not sure how many yet for everything else, i havent gotten through it all yet, i bought a hundred pack of resistors and leds off ebay for 15 bucks(ish) but so far i ve only used 17. i bet 50 would be more than enough, if i ever get around to finishing up the project i ll let you know,im currently at a stand off with it and havent gotten around to working on it again
doesn't take too long to do, once you get the hang of it. longest part is taking out the switch and then figuring out the best layout for the resistor and led, in order to have enough room to put the switch back together.
i'm not sure i would want to do other people's parts even if i got paid for it. it's really not that hard at all.
just buy a pack of 100 leds and a 100 resistors off ebay. go to radio shack and buy the soldering iron starter kit for $7.99 if you don't already have one and go to it. i'll be happy to give any help you need.
I dont get it...I been trying to get my leds to work, but some of the won't.
I can't get the 4wd switch to light up. You have 1 x470 resistor on each led, right?
The're not soldered together or anything?
It doesn't matter if the resistor is on the + or - side of the led right?
Can't get the leds on 4 wd, the rear window washer or the rear HVAC switch to light up.
The other switches work...!
Any tips?

Along with what vata suggested, try flipping the led around and make sure the leds are not blown. When I was putting mine in, some of the leds were dead, so I made sure I tested every led with a 9v battery.
