Need a wiring drawing to get this new switch wired correctly. I have the two pickups right I think but need help with the jack wiring and the cross wiring on the interior connectors.
Thanks in advance,
Billy

Before anyone can give you a wiring diagram with certainty it will work, you need to show us where the tabs are on your switch. Did you get a switch that matched the original Emmons switch, or one that had differently configured tabs?

Chris, Thanks for the response. The switch matches the old one. I started wiring the terminals one by one but somehow unsoldered the jack wires by mistake. there was a ton of old solder in places so the exact wiring got puzzling and I would like to get it right the first time.

Here is the schematic straight from Emmons and an alternative I have drawn for you. Both use the same switch layout. Make sure you have the same layout.

Thanks Chris, Once again you come to my rescue. That is exactly what I was looking for. If you ever get close to south Louisiana let me know and I will take you to some of my lesser known eateries for a real taste of Cajun/Creole/fabulous cuisine.
