Starting with the volume pot and my meter on 2k resistance I’m getting a reading of 1.33 on one lug and 1.36 on the other lug. Ground on center lug and twist the knob each time each lug is tested. On the tone pot I’m getting no reading on either lug. So is my tone pot dead

put a cable into your guitar ..... at the end of theother end of the cable touch your MM Black to the sleeve of the plug .... and touch the red to the tip ....Starting with the volume pot and my meter on 2k resistance I’m getting a reading of 1.33 on one lug and 1.36 on the other lug. Ground on center lug and twist the knob each time each lug is tested. On the tone pot I’m getting no reading on either lug. So is my tone pot dead
do this with your humbucker selected
why would you have your meter on 2K ??? what are your pots ?? 250K or 500K ??
2K is well under what ever you should be reading ........
anyway ... set your MM higher ..... and then take the reading I explained ...

or it's grounded out ........ check each lug for continuity to ground ... before giving up on the pot

…. Got the replacement pot in this morning and after much cursing and acting like a child it lives. Kept getting a horrible ground until I switched the output jack wires. I had them backwards thinking that was my issue a few days ago and forgot to swap them back again. Now I have to order new back plates because they got lost thanks to Mrs thug…..but like I said…it lives….
