Hi Vosarnout; welcome to the forum.

That wiring is called "parallel". It means that you have both coils of the humbucker wired side-by-side, rather than in the normal series.

Its like in this diagram, if you have the switch "down" all the time:

Thanks Artie,

i don't have a push - pull pot or anything, just have a 3-way switch, a 59 in the neck and a hotrails at the bridge. And a volume en tone pot. But it make's more sens to me now.
