Try a baud mode number of 16780, I think this things are inverted.
SW1 = ON
SW2 = OFF

I will try that. And also this is my first time dealing with pics I have a question also about my set up does it need power to run to the pic? if so what leg its a pic16F819

Err yes you need to supply power to the PIC to run it !

5vdc required

Have a read of the data sheet http://oap.sourceforge.net/datasheets/PIC16F819.pdf

I look at the diagram pin 14 VDD is my 5volts so does that make pin 5 VSS the ground?

Thank you for the data sheet

Yes - Vss should go to GND and Vdd to +5v Without these connections your PIC won't run !

Also look in the manual, section "2.4. It=s Alive".

This shows the basic/generic setup required. VDD, VSS, MCLR, OSC...
