Hi,
I have a Mira x. I love it, I'd love it more with coil split able pickups.
I have a pair of bare Knuckle pickups that went in then came out a Harley benton they could split and work fine.
I've taken the prs pickups out, put the bareknuckes in and put in a push push pot to use for coil splitting.
I've wired it all up and..... Only one pick up works, and it doesn't coil split.
I've wired it as per the barenuckel diagram, or clearly I haven't as only one pickup works, it doesn't coil split. Taping a screwdriver gives a noise on the pickup that's not working
I've taken it all to bits, tried again. Only one pick up works, it doesn't coil split. Now the other coil doesn't make a noise when tapped with a screwdriver.
Any change of some help? I might give it one more go on Monday night, and then I'll find someone who knows what they are doing ( in Nottingham).

Sorry to be harsh.

Last 3 times I swapped pickups went perfectly.
Last three times I was swapping like for like.
Have you spotted some damage I've done to the parts?
I assume you just cut the old pickup wires because you couldn’t unsolder them - even if so, the very first thing to do is cut them neatly so there aren’t any stray ends, even if that’s not causing a problem. The neater and cleaner the layout the easier it is to get right and the easier to spot faults.

Thanks for the recommendation @roberty i've booked in with him for the start of next week.
He seems confident he can sort my mess out
Dicky was indeed a character! He cheerfully sorted out my mess promptly and for a very reasonable cost.
He also spotted that the nut had been cut oddly, so I got him to set the guitar up as well.
I thought it was good before, I'm delighted now
