Here are more photos showing how everything went. I found that the original cavity had been filled with Styrofoam (?!) and the threaded inserts were removed so I replaced them with small nuts. the wiring went right together based on your diagram once the faulty battery box was replaced. The led light is held in place with a small amount of hot melt glue and works properly. the finish that the previous owner put on seems to be a bit fragile and chipped at the edges of the route so unfortunately I had to put a ring around the pickup,but that’s a small concession. thank you very much for your input and assistance with this !

An update. I removed the battery box and found that the leads were not connected to anything because someone melted the contacts away from the plastic housing. ordered another, have it on hand now. Seems to me that the battery box should have 3 wires coming off of it. Do I connect the +&- to a ground and attach it to the back of the pot? also, just to confirm, the ground symbols on the diagram should all be connected to the pots per normal wiring correct?( see arrows on attached pic) lastly, the diagram shows a feed coming out of wire 3 slot feeding the tone switch, mine is not. Is this something that needs to be addressed or is it the same as the one in the image you posted?

Ok i re-routed and installed the pickup. All is well on that side. I connected the wires and they work fine until I flip the mini switch. im only getting a signal in one position. please advise !?

I hope so ! lol thank you so much !

It does help ! Thank you! I’ll keep you posted. I have a box of LED’s, how do I connect them? is it just a simple matter of connecting them to the red and grey wires or is there a harness of some kind ?

Prostheta, A guy brought me an SB1000.Cliff Burton model. he asked if I could put a new pickup in it. he brought it to me today, the original pickup has been removed, the hole filled and sanded smooth and the entire bony has been properly re finished. The replacement pickup is the same as original. you can see a shadow line in the reflection for where the pickup was. I need to re-route the pickup hole and I need the depth for it. also, I found the wiring intact with an empty red and grey wire not connected to anything.there is a hole for the LED but I find no connector for it. is this something that you can help me with ?
