Another "I need pickup wiring help" thread.

Configuration: HSS. The single coils pickups have a red wire and a bare silver wire. The humbucker has a black, red, and bare silver wire. I believe the red goes to the five way switch but my switch looks like nothing in the diagrams I'm finding on the net. The connection between posts 3 and 4 were there already.Please take a look and let me know what goes where on the switch. I think once i get that straightened out I'm home free. I already berated myself for not taking pics before I removed everything but feel free to pile on. I can take it.

I guess this switch is similar to the Megaswitch E model on Stew Mac.
Humbucker/single-coil/single-coil

Point # Wire assignment
1 middle pickup hot wire
2 neck pickup hot wire
3 output to volume pot
4 ground to volume pot
5 empty
6 bridge pickup coil tap
7 bridge pickup hot wire

I can ignore 6 but doesn't 1 and 2 seem reversed?

I have one exactly like that in a Squire Affinity Strat.
I drew a crude diagram showing how mine's wired (factory wiring):
Hope that helps!

Thanks DalyTek. I got it working and it helps a lot. Funny how simple it appears....after you do it.

Cool, glad I could help.

Wiring it up was probably easier than me trying to draw that diagram with my mouse!
