    Ive tried removing the PIC from the PCB and putting it in a breadboard. Ive connected wires for power, crystal and just 1 LED and i get the same problem. I even tried one of the LEDs that isnt also connected to a transistor.

    Hi, I figured out what the problem was. One of the tracks on the PCB wasnt connecting properly which meant the PIC didnt have ground at all so it was getting its ground through the LEDs that were off.

    Sorry to bother you all and thanks for helping

    The Master , I also notice on your schematic that all of the led anodes on the bottom and the top of the drawing are tied to ground.....

    Ahh, thats an error in the schematic. They are correct in the real circuit.
