Any way to fix a bad STK-S9?

[T-Bone-BBQ]

I bought a used one on Reverb, went to put it in a guitar tonight and get no output. Tapped of the red wire, black and bare to ground and white to the switch. No sound. Trimmed off a bit of the wire in case it had a bad spot, but no good. Any ideas? Stinks because I really wanted to try it out. I've had it too long to send it back.

check the coils with a meter?

I don't have a meter, but I can bring it to work tomorrow and test it. The only way I got any output was to hook the red wire to hot and the black/bare to ground. Hooking the white wire up to hot got me nothing.

coils should be black/white top coil, red/green bottom coil i believe

On the Stack pickups the only wires are black, white and red along with the bare ground. According to the wiring diagrams on the site...the black/bare go to ground, the white to the switch and the red taped off unless you want to wire it to coil split.

I know that the good people at the Seymour Duncan factory can fix these for not much $$. If it turns out that it doesn't work (and you don't send it back), contact them, and they will help you out.

i assume the fix would probably cost about as much as a used stks9

Anyone in particular I should contact about possibly fixing it?

I guess I'll email them again.

Finally heard back and it looks like there's nothing that can be done. Pickup was used and over a year old, so they won't replace it and they can't repair the stack pickups due to the design. Ugh... :\
