Sethmetal Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 The on/off/on switch you have is basically two switches wired together. Think of each row of three as a 2 seperate circuits. when the switch is in the middle is does nothing(off) when it is up it connects the upper lug to the middle lug, when it is down it connects the lower lug to the middle lug. To connect a pickup to it, you want to run a hot wire to the middle lug and the upper lug to your pickup hot. Then simply ground the ground on your pickup. You could hook a different pickups hot wire to the lower lug if you want it to operate like this: up: pickup 1 mid: off Down: pickup2 Without the 2nd pickup it will operate like this up: pickup 1 mid: off down: off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
