Help! Axis Sport HH: Wiring w/ New Superswitch, No Position 4

[nervous]

Wiring up my 1999 Axis Sport with a new genuine EBMM Superswitch, original pickups, correct diagram. All went well and seemed pretty straightforward, even using my 1997 AS with the same new style switch for reference. Positions 1, 2, 3 & 5 are perfect. Guitar is perfectly silent and no grounding issues. But then position 4, nothing. not a lick of output. Wens back checked the diagram, checked for shorts, all look OK. retest and still no position 4, inner coils output at all. Can anyone point me in the right direction to troubleshoot this, what pins might I be looking at or mis-wired, etc.? That all other positions are perfect would indicate I have things pretty much correctly wired. But I am at the end of my ability to diagnose this one.

I was so close to wrapping that portion of the reassembly up.

Thank you,

Never mind, I solved it this morning. Fresh eyes had the violet jumper soldered to the wrong lug. Had to pin 1 (red wire input) and not pin 2 (black/white input) of the bridge pickup connection pin set. Made the change and all is well.

PS: I would delete this posting but I can't figure out how that's done.

Ah, don't delete it. The truth is that exactly this kind of operator error is so common, even to those of us that do it so often. And no matter how experienced we are, the best path to the solution is often the hardest one to remember - to walk away and come back later with fresh eyes!

You found the problem, you got it solved, it all works! Great job!

I looked at those connections so many times, and since I was convinced it was right I couldn't see the issue. It's an amazing mental glitch.
