Default LED radio help

I have spent all day converting my radio to LEDs. I put everything in and tested it in the car before sealing it up. It all worked great went very well until I attached the circuit board to the face and pushed that onto the rest of the radio. Now It does not light up at all. I am trying to figure out how it would work when apart, but not work when together.

Does the radio work? If so, you may have all of the LED's in backwords. When you press the buttons on the radio with the circuit card in, do you hear a slight clicking sound indicating that the button is working? If not, you may not have trimmed enough of the plastic off. Good luck.

The radio works. I actually checked the LEDs in the car before I finished and they were working when plugged in. It is just now after I attached the circuit board back to the faceplate and installed the radio in now they are not working. I know the LEDs are wired correctly because they were working before I snapped the faceplate back on the radio.
