Problem with wiring strat

[kdx man]

Just got my antiquities in today, and I wired my guitar up (hard tail strat). I followed the diagram perfectly and made all the connections, and none of the pieces are touching each other that shouldnt be touching each other. When I plug in the guitar, the only time I get any sound is if I take my fingers and lay it across the jack and at the same time touch one of the volume or tone pots. I can hear the strings when I do this, but I cant hear them any other time. Any ideas??

Check your hot and ground connections at your jack and make sure you have hot going to the jack tip? After that recheck all of your connections by following your drawing....

Also,is your cavity shielded? Maybe wires on the pickguard are making contact with your cavity shielding? Check to make sure also,that wires aren't touching each other that shouldn't be once you lay the guard into the cavity..
