Wiring Disaster

Sigh . . . the rewiring job has turned into a nightmare. After wiring up the Stagemaster, I loosely attached the pickguard and plugged the guitar in to see if everything was working. I tested the pickups by simply tapping on them to see if they were all working. Wired up like the DiMarzio diagram, nothing happens when the 5 way switch is in position 4 or 5 (or the bottom two positions). It appears like in positions 1, 2 and 3, all of the pickups are on, however. I have checked and rechecked all of the connections and it appears like everything is right, but two positions don't seem to work at all. I don't know if the diagram is wrong or I have a bad 5 way switch. Back to researching . . .
