1994 tex mex special tele 5-way super switch wiring help

Hi,

I'm Josh and I 'm totally new to the forum. I'm currently working on a friends 94 tex mex special telecaster with a 5 -way single wafer super switch. It has a standard tele bridge single coil, and a four conductor humbucker in the neck. The previous owner had taken the factory Fender humbucker out and installed a Gibson humbucker, which he had wired as a three way. My goal is to return it to factory specs. This is proving to be a little trickier than I had previously thought it would be.

I found a couple of wiring diagrams for it, but none of them have worked all the way. They've either given me odd combinations or dead spots on the switch. The dead spots are generally positions 2 and 4. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with wiring this particular guitar. There seems to be very little wiring resource material online for it. After exhausting every wiring resource I knew of online, I even contacted Fender technical support and they were unable to provide me with a wiring diagram.

If anyone has any tips for wiring this or has worked with one in the past I would greatly appreciate any help you could give.

The combinations for the pickups with the 5 - way are supposed to be as follows:

1 - Bridge

2 - Bridge parallel with Neck split

3 - Bridge parallel with Neck full HB

4 - Neck split

5 - Neck full HB

The two wiring diagrams I've tried thus far have been

Once again, any help would be appreciated! Thanks guys/gals!
