Is there anybody out there who has or knows where to find a wiring diagram for an onboard fuzz pedal on a guitar with an on/off switch??? Kinda like Norman Greenbaums guitar but on a strat with an on/off switch.

The Dan Armstrong "Blue Clipper" was designed for a tiny little box you plug into your guitar's jack... would totally fit in a guitar cavity... requires a 9 volt battery though. For passive devices... I would consider the "Black Ice".

Yamaha used to offer this facility in special versions of the SF series guitars. There was a thread on the topic. If you are feeling brave (and patient), try the forum search engine.

Another idea, and one I've seen a friend of mine do when he played in a Muse cover band is to tape the fuzz pedal to your strap and turn it off and on there.
Just a thought.

Re: Built-In Fuzz Pedal into guitar
Are you looking to essentially build your own fuzz? Check out clips of the Mosrite Fuzzrite, Maestro Fuzztone, and the Jordan Bosstone. All three are pretty simple circuits that do the 60's fuzz thing. I think you could build one small enough to fit under a Strat pickguard, especially if you removed one of the tone knobs, or especially if you rout additional area like the Clapton Stratocaster.

Over at guitarfetish
They have some drop in distortions that replace one tone control
Require a 9 volt battery somewhere
There is a guy . Joe something maybe Gore.
Used to post here
He had a blog where he put a clipping diode in to give a passive distortion effect

this is it in pedal format with some mods for heaps more tonal flexibility:

There are also some onboard distortions built and distributed by various companies.
There is also this:

which contains a link to a wiring diagram

I know the passive mod. Two basic ways to do it, my preferred way is to take two Schottky diodes and a no-load pot. Take the lead from the volume or pickup selector to the jack tip terminal, and wire that to the center lug of the pot. Wire a new lead from the "no-load" terminal to the jack, then take the two Schottkys, arrange them in opposing flow directions, and solder them in parallel across the outer terminals. Now, as you turn this pot "down", you send more and more of the signal through the diodes instead of straight to the output, and Schottkys have a behavior that squares the waveform of AC current flowing through them. Voila, a passive MXR Distortion Plus circuit built into your guitar.
