Wiring/soldering problems with coil split!!! HELP!!!

[rrockwell777]

Hi, guys. I hope you can help me out here:

I have here a new duncan distortion in the bridge and a duncan jazz in the neck. I'm trying to use a 2 vol, 1 tone configuration with the 2 push/pull volume pots for coil splitting. I'm using 500k pots.

I couldn't find a wiring diagram on duncan's site with this exact specification, so I combined a couple together. So far, the bridge pickup is working fine in both of the push/pull positions, and the tone knob is even working with it, and I even still here sound when the 3 way switch is in the middle position. However, when I switch ti the neck pup I'm hearing no sound whatsoever. what's going on? :banghead:

I made this diagram last night to show EXACTLY how I have it set up, including the two SEPARATE solder points on the neck pot. what am I doing wrong here?

do you have a multi meter?

check the three way switch. is it gibson style or a little box with three contacts?

It's a 3 way blade switch

Here's a picture of the switch, it's the one that came with the guitar. I soldered the neck/bridge/tone solder points the exact way that they were wired with the old pickups. The only thing I changed was I soldered the ground part to the other side, as there are two places where I could solder a ground (I think...).

I think the swap on the switch worked!!! I'll check again tomorrow. That's so weird that the bridge would work instead of the neck, even though the bridge was the one in the neck spot. How the heck does that work?!?

Yeh, switch the bridge pup wire and the tone pot wire on your three way switch.
