OK, you will get some power drop when both pickups are combined for as typical with most H/H guitars, when both pickups are selected, they are wired to work together in parallel. Or to put it another way, the combined DC resistance of both pickups is quartered when on together in a parallel wiring scheme. However, if you are getting a drastic volume drop with no bass and a hollow, nasally sound when both pickups are selected, they are out of phase with each other. The remedy is reversing the negative and positive leads on either one of the pickups.

The answer to your second question is predicated on the answer to your first which only you'd know. As to your third question, as a matter of fact, I do. If they are the OEM Fender pickups, reverse the red and green wires of one pickup only.

Seriously, I'm glad everything worked out for you and you can now thoroughly enjoy your guitar!!

You're quite welcome.

As to breathing, it is more of a gill oriented system where it is most helpful to eat lots of beans so to keep the nitrogen gasses around my 'personal space' plentiful.
