DM-30 wiring diagram

[Birdman642]

Does anyone have a DM-30 switch wiring diagram? I tried wiring it up today with a diagram I got from Seymour Duncan and it worked in the bridge position and neck position, but I got no signal in the middle. I’ve looked up diagrams for DM-30 switches, but they seem to be few and far between.

sorry, im not familiar with what a dm-30 is

This type of switch.
I’ve tried a handful of different 3 way lever switch diagrams. From what I can tell, the diagrams are generally based on a CRL type switch. This one, however, has a different position from those.

ah gotcha. if you took a good pic of both sides, i bet we could figure it out pretty quick

I can upload some pictures later

Here you go. Are these good enough? Thanks for taking the time to look at these jeremy

Now I hope this isn’t a stupid question, but will the direction the switch faces impact the way it’s wired?

Naw
if it switches backwards
Or opposite of what you expected

Turn the switch around or
Swap the neck and bridge pickup wires

I saw that one a little while ago while searching. I was gonna give it a go when I have a chance. If I don’t get that one working, I’m considering just getting a CRL and being done with it

If that doesn't work Stemac's switch is supposedly the same. https://www.stewmac.com/video-and-i...ics-and-wiring/3-way-lever-action-switch.html

I read that too. I was reading through some stuff last night comparing the pin layouts of different switch types.
the wiring diagrams between the DM-30 and the Stewmac one are slightly different though. On the Stewmac one it has the connection going from the farthest point bridging to the one next to it. On the DM-30, it has the connection bridging from the second farthest to the one next to it.
I think I may be overthinking it. I’ll try the DM-30 diagram you suggested first, and then try the Stewmac one if that doesn’t work.

I think its the two small jumpers that you left out

Possibly. I’ll post results when I finally get it.

Update:
I got around to trying the Gotoh wiring diagram this morning. It worked perfectly. All I had to do was switch the leads from the pickups

 

[jeremy]

great, glad you got it sorted out!

Thanks to everyone for their help!
