Lol. Must have had the paper too close to me painting something and got some overspray on it.

I'm just going to sneak a wire from the sunroof switch into the a/c control and do it that way because I can't figure out the crazy way it's set up in the controller.

Looking are both rear controls also anyone

These are the front controls in my 04 Z. Let me know what I can help with man.

Don't mind the radio head unit...

Ok, I figured it out two of the lights in the rear AC controller are set in One Direction positive and negative linked together in series and the other two are linked together in series in the opposite direction. So what I did was take a small screwdriver and broke the circuit in two spots and wired jumpers to correct the polarity. Here are some pics hope this helps. PS I did use a meter to find the positive and negative pins on the plug and trace them all out from there.

If you zoom in on the top picture you can see where I cut the circuits. And if you zoom in on the bottom picture you can see where I ran the jumpers. Red being positive and black being negative.

That's a unique way of doing it. May I ask why you didn't remove the bulbs and use a power source and your multimeter to find the polarities and route? How long did you have to spend doing it that way?

I set my meter on continuity and traced out the circuits. I started at one of the lights and found the positive pin then on a hunch off of visual I traced out the negative side that's when I figured out that they were wired up and some funky series. It only took about 20 minutes to figure it out and solder in the jumpers.

I did not do my moon roof switch yet, I had to replace that whole console. I tried to to the homelink switches but the bulbs in that are tiny and I screwed it up. So I bought a another one off ebay. I am going to use the old one for testing and see if I can get it done. If I do I will post the results. Loved the LEDs you did cattivo they look great.

Check this out...

I was showing yall I got the Homeland buttons to work. The circuit was easy to trace. Didn't even need to my meter. The positive side has a diode on it. I used these leds I got from the Amazon...
