Lost my Back Lighting

I was changing the LED spot light above the mirror to a UV type, thought it would look pretty. Everything worked fine when I put the unit back in.
Tonight I went out to see how it looked, it does not work!
I have also lost all the back lighting for the heater and steering wheel controls. My door unlock switches and mirror switches never did back light.
I have a 2007. Is it the 2amp fuse in the passenger compartment the correct fuse to check? I am looking at the 2006 Power distribution diagram for the instrument illumination but do not know where the common point of power distribution for the circuit is physically located.
I had the flickering back lighting problem before but re-seating the large blue connector in the passenger fuse compartment fixed that.
Any help would be appreciated.

Lost Back Lights

Well decided to retrace my steps. The back lights for the GAUGES WORK.
The Heater, steering wheel, LED flood light, and rear window wiper switch DO NOT. Pulled the LED out incase I had shorted the wire when I changed it but all is good. Going to probe around with my volt meter to see what is up. Has to be a loose connector somewhere. Going to hate to have to pull the center console apart to find it.
