Pickup wiring issue

Oh how the mighty have fallen :lol: :LOL:

Somehow I ripped out these wires and it's been so long since I've done any guitar wiring I can't remember how they go :aww:

Neck pickup is a dimarzio air norton, it's still intact so it's fine. The pickup in question is an Afwayu in the bridge spot. I can't even remember what kind of switch this is, I thought it was a mega switch but the ones on their site look different now. Maybe it was a switchcraft but I can't find one of those with 7 lugs either.

The way I had it (from the up position down) was neck, single neck, both pickups, single bridge, and bridge.


Can somebody help me out here? I feel like an asshole asking this noob question but I'm either going to play some guitar tonight or I'm going to spend all night trying to figure this out and I want to play some guitar :lol: :LOL:






Also, I posted this in the tech corner and it was probably a mistake since it seems like a barren wasteland. Could a mod delete? Much appreciated :rock:
 
Red and white are for coil split, black is ground and green is hot.

Thanks but I already knew which wires are which, maybe I wasn't too clear with where I needed help.

This switch is the problem, I can't find which positions are which and I can't find a 7 lug diagram online that applies to this particular switch. I left my multimeter at work and that's my only real way of determining which lugs are being selected. I figured somebody would know off the top of their head but it's cool, I'll probably just wait until I get my tester. Thanks for the input.

Did you try the Dimarzio website wiring diagrams?

Yeah I looked but they give you some crazy ass looking switch with like 15-20 lugs on it. Plus the Dimarizio is still wired up fine, it's the MCP that got ripped out. I know the red and white go together for sure, since they were still soldered together.

I'm getting ready to go buy a normal toggle switch and drill a hole in this bitch.
 
Probably a good idea to get a standard 5-way and a clear diagram for hooking it up right. Duncan has better wiring diagrams, you just have to switch the wire colors around.

Yeah this switch is probably 6-7 years old so I probably should just get a more common switch
