Help with Lap Steel Pick up wiring

I have a pickup assembly with 2 singlecoil pickups , 1 vol pot and 1 tone pot. No switch..Can anyone provide a wiring diagram?
Thanks

There are lots of wiring diagrams here.....

....but what you're looking for seems unusual.

If you want both pickups on all the time, you have the choice of parallel or series wiring.

Is there a place where you can add a small 3-way mini-switch, using standard Telecaster circuit?

Another possibility is to use two push-pull pots for volume and tone, utilizing the push-pull feature to turn each pickup off or on.

Yet another possibility is to use two concentric pots (like Danelectro guitars) so that you have a volume-and-tone control for each pickup.
