Just looking for a diagram if anybody has one for a 2005 Stingray pup, there in parallel as standard as we all know, what does one in series look like ?
would like a diagram for each if possible
Thanks in advance :)
 
it depends on if they are "hardwired" in parallel or if there is 4 leads coming out from the pickup.
if there are only 2 wires then you cant change it without opening the pickup and modifying it.

if there is 4 then you can do your thing :)

series means that the output of one coil is wired to the input on the next.
parallel means that both inputs and outputs are connected in parallel

see the photo in this article to see how it is done:

Thanks for that.
I have a series/single/parallel switch on SunBlue, that pick up has the 4x wires coming off it so was just a matter of mounting the toggle switch, the pup in question is a stock MM pup with just the 2x wires, wired parallel. i'll put it up safe and leave it alone I think :)
