Thanks for the quick reply.
On close inspection my RLED is marked brown-black-gold. My meter is reading 1.2 Ohms (in circuit). The instructions didn’t specify a band pattern for RLED and I used the process of elimination… it was the last resistor left so I just soldered it in 😆 . I guess I should have looked more closely. I used every resistor in the kit and I just triple checked every other resistor and they all look fine. Definitely not a 100 ohm anywhere.
So I guess the wrong resistor got thrown in the kit… off by 1 color band.
