I have three LED's with a programable remote control switch. Being rather slow on the wiring end...can anyone provide a diagram of how to wire this. Probably should have a switch so it can be turned on and off?
Any help appreciated!!

These are flexible prewired 9.5" strips, each has two wires, a gold and silver. The programable switch will turn it off and on if I can figure out how to wire the setup. The programable switch comes with a wiring diagram, it has five wires: Blue = antenna, red = DC 12v, Black - Ground...so far I'm not lost
Now here's the problem, yellow = LED +, White = LED - with these two wires being connected with a resister in the middle. That doesn't make sense to me, the positive and negative hooked to gether? How big a resister would be needed?

Thanks for the come back!!

You do not need a resistor with these prewired strips (the resistors are built in) and will run off 12 volts.

Just hook the yellow to the + lead of the led strips and the white to the negative lead.

Ypu'll need to run power and ground into the incoming box on the remote switch then run the outputs to the leds ... as mentioned above IF they are prewired they run on the full 12 volts ...
Others need to be run in series OR need a proper sized resistor to prevent damage
