Problem with s-1 switching system, Need help.

[jalguitarman]

I just got done wiring in my new pick ups and when i use the second position ( brdge pick up split and paired with the middle single coil) i get the same amount of hum as the center position. From what i can tell everything is hooked up right. The pick ups in question are dimarzios. Now the fourth position on the swicth does fine no hum, not sure what the problem is. This guitar has the fender s-1 switching system. The only pick up conection to this is a wire from the neck single coil and the neck pick up is not the trouble> Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:gurmpy:

It sounds like you may just be selecting the wrong coil of the bridge. If you split by shorting to the ground wire, then short to the hot wire instead. And vice-versa.
