Little help wiring a coil-split on a strat?

[ruger9]

HSS strat. I have installed a push-push pot on the 2nd tone control to split the humbucker bridge coil. I'm getting confused with the P-P pot wiring... or something is wrong (like a bad switch on the pot maybe?)

It's a Duncan JB, the red+white are the coil series. The black hot output goes straight to the selector switch, of course. The red+white 2nd coil goes to the selector switch (normal lug for position 4), THEN ON TO the P-P switch. The red/white wires on the middle switch lug that you see in the pic is coming from the selector switch. In position 4 (bridge+middle) the 2nd coil remains shorted out (so, single coil bridge) no matter the position of the push-pull.

In position 5 (bridge), it's remains a humbucker (2 coils), no matter the position of the push-pull.

The way I have it wired now is :
(hopefully the pic isn't too confusing).
Red/White to middle lug on swtich
"top" switch lug grounded to pot (to achieve a ground out in the UP position)

Your ground wire appears to be on the wrong side. There are two poles in a push pull and nothing connects the two sides. So move your ground to the other side so it's directly below red and white and that should do it.

I'm not sure that's possible. I'd like to see the drawing you are working from.

Yup, the two rows of three are two separate switch sides, the d in dpdt means double, because the switch can do stuff side by side without electrical crossover, it's two switches on the same throw.

You will need to ensure your wires are middle and end (the end closest to the knob for pull to split) on the same side for your purposes.

I didn't know the 2 sides of the switch are not connected, I'll move that ground wire.

Thanks everyone, I got it sorted with your help.
