I someone can draw up a schematic or diagram, I would be glad.
The ones I have seen so far conflict each other and/or just pure wrong.

2 humbuckers, 1 Vol P/P pot, 1 Tone P/P pot, 1 3 way toggle.
The pups have a coil tap on them (NOT coil split). There are 2 hots coming out of each pickup.
I am looking for the Vol pot to control the neck tap (up equals tapped)
I am looking for the Tone pot to control the bridge tap (up equals tapped)
I am also looking to put a treble bleed circuit in it.

Everything I see is for coil split, which involves shorting out a coil. That will not work in this situation.

Thank you
 
Do you have a diagram for what you want to do that is good other than for the tap versus split as that could be adapted?

If you have any more information on the pickups just to be sure that would also help.

If we assume the below to be the case. (colours are just examples for the diagram)

Ground is ground
Purple is hot
Red is tap

For each pickup you would only need a single pole of each push pull.

Pickup tap--------------------->Switch up terminal
                                                  ¦
                                                  ¦
Toggle Sw<--------------------- common of P/P
                                                  ¦
                                                  ¦
Pickup Hot--------------------->
Switch down terminal


The grounds would just go to a ground. Then from the toggle common that would go to the master volume pots input and then the rest should be similar to other diagrams.



 
Sounds like you kind of want it wired like the tone controls of an old peavey T60.  Is that a correct assumption?

 
Here's a pic of the labels I have given to each item. I just need to understand the connection points between them.

Here's the wiring diagram for the T60:

How this beauty works is that when the tone control is all the way down, the pickup is operating as a humbucker with the tone rolled off.  Half way up, it's a humbucker with the tone all the way up.  all the way up, the coil tap kicks in and you get a single coil sound.  This is in addition to the (separate) volume control (which just happens to include a treble bleed).
 
Thank you, but that is way more than I’m lookin for and my dyslexia is giving me issues. 

If you could look at the pic I posted and offer me the needed connections based upon how I labeled them.
 
You already have mapped out in your spreadsheet the pickup hot and tap to the push pull. What you have missing is the common from the push pull to the toggle switch this is what you need if I have interpreted your grid correctly.

5 to 23
and
15 to 25

As an example with your grid references in ()

(B) Pickup tap--------------------->Switch up terminal (4)
                                                  ¦
                                                  ¦
(23) Toggle Sw<--------------------- common of P/P (5)
                                                  ¦
                                                  ¦
(A) Pickup Hot---------------------> Switch down terminal (6)

 
I think you'll need to look at the tone pot - at least one of those lugs will need to be wired to ground.
 
I checked again on a couple sites and no one is illustrating grounding a lug on the tone pot.
Here is a better pick of the plan.

Hi Mark,

The changes I mentioned above have been made partly plus another....

But instead of 5 to 23 you now have 8 to 23 and have moved the corresponding hot and tap wires to this set of lugs but swapped the hot and tap also.

Any chance you could post the spreadsheet on google docs or something as it would make this easier.

 
I’m curious. The last pic should be clear enough if you click on it and expand, you could see it in your phone.  I can here.

It can be seen. The problem is that it takes a long time to go back and forth between it being expanded checking what goes from where to where and then having to write what you need to do.

Simple access to the spreadsheet itself would mean we could open the spreadsheet and enter directly into it what you need to do.
