Thanks for your reply Bruce.
No dice! I thought that would do it also. Once I pull the ground wire off RB3 the LED continues to blink for about five seconds then stops.

There is also another strange thing going on. PORTA.6&7 when in digital output state drivers only 2.4V unloaded then drops to 1.3 & 1.9 respectfully under LED load. I’ve turned off everything I can think of that deals with OCS1&2.
Code:
@ DEVICE INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT,MCLR_OFF,BOD_OFF,WDT_OFF,LVP_OFF  
OSCCON=$70
ANSEL=$00
ADCON0=$00
