No, the pins don't have any load on them. I followed peoples advice to pull the PIC from the board and actually put the ICD in-circuit. Put some wires on the SMD pads and now I am currently trying to get the ICD debugger to work. But it just gives me this output: Connecting to MPLAB ICD 2 ...Connected Setting Vdd source to MPLAB ICD 2 Target Device PIC12F675 found, revision = Rev 0x2 ICDWarn0044: Target has an invalid calibration memory value (0x0).

I have this connected to the circuit. I have tried both with and w/o the target board powered and have also tried w/o the debug header connected to the board. I would think that even if the target board were not connected, I would still be able to launch in to the debugger and watch my code execute on the attached pic12f675 header board. Any help or ideas, as always, appreciated.
