I've put together a new HSS guitar with a DiMarzio 36th anniversary PAF and two Area 67 pickups. This wiring scheme was used:

It's a fairly simple circuit. Volume and a tone pot that only splits the PAF Humbucker.
I've wired everything accordingly and everything seems to be fine except the middle position. Once the middle pickup is selected (position 3), I have to touch a pot or the strings to silence the hum. Before mounting the wired pick guard, I checked each connection with a multimeter and I didn't notice any ground loops.
Also, the split function makes the humbucker really noisy... I'm not sure if that's the way it's supposed to be? I can still hear some hum even if the full humbucker is operating. At least the neck single coil seems to be hum-free...
Any suggestions on which connections I'd need to check?
