More answer on a guitar forum than General Discussion.

Any work do on guitar ?
Which one Strat or Tele or ...?

Tele is easy to look inside.

On guitar forum you may get several answers but it will not be different than the solution I mentioned before

Just wanted to say once again you nailed the problem, the cap was shorting to the pot body. Your a wizard, lol, thanks again for the excellent information, you save me from replacing a good part.
