Installing The Stratocaster E Mega Switch
Step 1) First, I take off the pickguard. To do this I had to disconnect (or de-solder) the ground connection from the bridge and the hot and ground wires from the jack.
Step 2) Next, I de-solder the wires which are connected to the switch and remove it.
Step 3) Then, I screw in the E-MegaSwitch.
Step 4) I begin to solder the connections:
lug 1 - solder on the middle pickups hot wire
lug 2 - solder on the neck pickups hot wire and solder on the wire from the lower tone pot
lug 3 - solder on the wire (output) from the volume pot
lug 4 - leave empty
lug 5 - leave empty
lug 6 - solder a wire to lug 7 and solder the wire from the lower tone pot
lug 7 - solder on the bridge pickups hot wire
Lastly, I re-connect (re-solder) the wires that I had un-soldered in the step 1.

helpful resource that I have recently started to use when I need help troubleshooting. As long as you are polite and give a detailed description of the problem you are sure to get some valueable help within a matter of minutes.
Most people on this forum are far more knowledgable about active electronics than I am and will be able to help you better and faster than I could.
