I installed the Freeway 5 position 10 way switch on my left handed 1993 Fender American Standard Strat. Testing it with the screwdriver on the pickups, I am getting the switch operating in the opposite way. Position 1 is what position 5 should be, position 2 is what 4 should be, 3 is the same, 4 is what 2 should be and 5 is what 2 should be. Same with the extra 5 positions on the upper bank - opposite.
I have checked and double checked the wiring and it seems right. At this point I only disconnected and removed the original switch, installed the Freeway switch, and connected the appropriate wires according to the provided diagram.
Is there something to do with the left handed-ness of the original wiring? For example, my volume pot is wired opposite of the one on the Freeway diagram. And, not sure if this would matter but, the cap on the middle tone is connected to the opposite lug on mine compared to the Freeway diagram. The lower tone pot looks the same.
