Help with TB12 Screamin Demon wiring!!

[jgcable]

I have a dissasembled one. Coming off of the coils is has:

Hex Poles: Black and a white wire

Screw Poles: red/white (these were factory soldered together), white, black and green.

If I recall... the white wires from coil 1 and 2 were soldered together
The black wires from coils one and 2 were also soldered together.
The green and the black from the slotted screw coil were soldered together.

Anyway, I tried every configuration possible and I can only come up with 5.7K ohms which I am sure is only 1 of the coils.

Can anybody help.

If your green and black are soldered together, that could be the problem. Black is the 'hot' lead to the volume pot. Green and bare go to ground:

Black and white come from one coil set, green and red from the other:

The white and red soldered togther 'connect' the two coils and give you the humbucker with the 10kohm reading that a Screamin Demon should have (bridge position).

The fact you are getting half that measurement means you are correct in that you are only getting one coil, I think because your green and black are connected to each other.

Green and black both are interchangeable as Ground or Hot Lead. You can swap them for various phasing issues with other pickups.

Just to be a little clearer.. I am talking about the wires coming directly off of the coils. This pickup is completely disassembled. I need to rewire it completely.

This might help with the color vs. what is what

OK I think what you need is this:

(If your pickup has the hex poles closest to the bridge then swap the wiring below)

Screw Poles: (closest to bridge on a TB-6)
Black from Pickup to Green 4 Conductor
White from Pickup to Red 4 Conductor

Hex Poles: (closest to the neck pickup on a TB-6)
Black from Pickup to Black 4 Conductor
White from Pickup to White 4 Conductor

Then to wire, solder the Red and white together, shield and green to ground, and black is hot (or just look at a diagram above for your wiring needs to pots/switches)

I don't think you should connect the white to white and black to black from the coils (as mentioned above).

Also you can just connect the whites from both the coils together (thats what you are doing when you wire the red to white) then run black from one pickup as your hot and ground the other black wire along with the shield. gl

solder b & d together for series opperation.
