I need help rRestoring mMy 2008 Silhouette Special HSS wiring back to the factory wiring.
It has the 'silent circuit'. I rewired it many years ago and didn't document the original wiring. DUH. :(

Thanks for any help.

Many thanks Nervous. :)
Here is the problem, and what I know so far.

Thanks

Don't both wiring diagrams show the two "to where" red wires coming from (or going to) the neck and middle pickups no? Just be mindful of which diagram you use as the 2011 revision looks like it used the updated or newer switch so there could be some minor differences. I hadn't looked that close.

AWESOME! My silo special is now working properly, as the factory intended. :)
Many thanks for your interest and help.

Only issue now is to find out why the volume is very low in switch positions 2 and 3. Switch positions 1, 4, and 5 sound much louder.
I am wondering if the 'Silent Circuit' has failed.
