Need help with a pickup

Hello. New member here..
I have a Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas Style 2 that has 2 Seymour Duncans, a 3 way switch and a push/pull volume to split the coils

I think I have the right wiring scheme

The issue I am having is that the neck humbucker (when NOT split, so the push/pull is pushed all the way down) cuts out. I will go in the wiring cavity, mess with some wires and the sound comes back. Eventually, it cuts out again.

I am guessing it might be a bad solder, but to be honest I have not a lot of experience with wiring. Would someone be able to pin point what exact wire I should be looking at? (or could it be the 3 way switch?)

I added some "real world" pics of the wiring (which are a tad messier than the wiring scheme!)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Sorry, that sucks. My guess is a cold solder joint or a short in the push pull. When you look at the solders in the push pull are there any two that could be touching but shouldn’t and do they look properly soldered?
 
Re: Need help with a pickup

Nothing looks like it is touching. I was just not sure of what color wires deal with the neck pickup in the non-split position. I am still researching. Thanks for your feedback! I attached a sample of what the pickup is sounding like.
