i posted my problem 2 days ago and nobody replied,i hope this time someone help its a big problem for me,i will tell it this time in another way,simply how can the guitar be noisy when you put the switch in posesion and not in athor posesion,in a 3 way switching selector the noise in 1 and 3 its desapearing in the middle ,is there a special grounding way in this kind of switches??
every wire in the guitar soldered in perfect way and the dc resistance of the pickups is right when measured 10 for screaming demon and 7,3 for the pearly gates neck posesion.please someone tell me whats going on,it not a very big noise its acceptable but its must not be .cause its wasnt with the old pickups.
thanks
 
Re: help guys

What style of pickups do you have? Dual humbuckers, singles, HS?
It sounds to me like possibly you have single-coil wiring in the #1 and #3 positions, and humbucking in the middle. Its an easy mistake to make, especially if you switched brands of pups and wired them the same way.

Let us know. ;)

Re: help guys

Ok, I'm going to guess that you have only one coil of each humbucker active. When you go to the middle, they combine to become "humbucking". Try this:

Place the switch in the #1 position, then gently tap the pole pieces on each coil with a small screwdriver, and see if you get sound out of each.

Let us know how that test turns out, and we'll go from there. (Do the same test with the bridge also.)
 
Re: help guys

i will try this but i dont think that they are working as a single coils in 1 and 3 posesions cause its sounding like humbuckers ,and the white and red wires soldered well and insulated,i want to tell athor problem happend today the noise is began to accuring in the middle also when u touch the switch and it desapearing with moving it smoothly,anyway i will try what you saied artie and learn from you expierance thank you.
