Failed circuit and hot wiring

[DrFrag]

I've wired up a bunch of admin buttons in my cab, along with LED lights that show which ones are active.  The idea being I can disable selected admin buttons via internal switches for use at parties, etc.

There are 12 LEDs wired in parallel, each with their own resistor.

I'm pretty sure it's all wired right, but the LED lights don't come on.  After a few seconds, the positive wire coming off the 5V line at the PSU gets really hot.

What might I have done wrong?

I'm thinking I might have used wires the wrong thickness or length, but I'm no expert on electronics.

Do you have any LED's that are backwards?
(LED's have a positive and negative leg)

If they aren't even coming on AND the power line is getting hot..... sound like a near short to me.

If the LEDs were in backwards they will not light but they should block current flow unless one is internally shorted.   Sounds like a wiring error or something shorting out.  Can you take pictures up close and provide a diagram of what you did?
