Hi, I have a 2004 MIM Tele. I purchased a Fender 4 way switch and a set of Fender Mod Shop noiseless samarium cobalt pick up set at GC. Can someone shed some light or better yet, provide me with a correct wiring diagram on how to wire in the 4 way switch ? It seems that both sets of included diagrams conflict. The 4 way switch diagram says to lift the rythym cover ground and the Mod Shop diagram doesnt say to do that. I have tried several variations but I don't hear any difference with the four way switch being positioned in various positions. A quick response would be great as I have band practice tonight ! Thanks in advance. :(

I believe SCN pickups already has the "lifting" done - the green wire is the "lifted" shield.

Use the diagram that came with the 4 way switch. The bridge black & green go to the back of the vol pot. Only the neck green go to the back of the pot. The neck black goes to the 4 way switch.

Some detailed pics of your wiring will help.

Thanks CC9, I just tried it with your help, but I now have no neck pick up sound. I only have bridge pick up, positions 1&2. Q: Where does the white neck pick up wire go ?
Thanks for yer support in my wiring woes.....

Can't help much more unless I know what diagram you're using and what you've done so far (i.e. some pics).

Look at this:

Rhythm pickup:

Match your white and black to the switch, the one that is "To Cover" is the green one and goes to the pot like cc says
