I’ve just finished a LW3 will all Comet NoGhost (NG) LEDs in the inserts and start button, yet one LED (LW1) causes flickering and ghosting with one of the pop bumper lights. Remove that LW1 LED the flickering goes away. Tried another NG LED, same result, regular LED same result, even replaced the diode 1N4004 on the socket to no avail, as well as attaching a 470ohm resistor in parallel with both of the LEDs in question.

Why is only one having this issue, and why would removing that LED make the problem go away?? Any ideas/suggestions??? Yes, I know LED OCD is an option, but really want to solve this without going down that path.
