Bad 5 way switch?

Trying out a new pickup configuration and ran into an issue that I have a question about. I have a Strat with an SSl-1 set in it and decided to try it as an HSS with a GFS Mean 90 in the bridge. Not new to wiring etc. When I tested out the connections, I get sound from the neck and middle pickup positions but when I go to the middle/bridge and bridge, there is no sound. On a multi meter when I go to those positions I get an initial 0 and then a rise to around 7-10. I checked the switch and made sure the wipers are making contact and everything looks okay as far as I can see. Bad switch?

Sounds like the Mean 90's coils are bad to me.

Wire the Mean 90 straight to the jack and see if you get sound.
