I am trying to build the electrics for my archtop and was up until 3am last night trying numerous diagrams for a push pull split on my epiphone swingster single humbucker. Nothing seems to work, volume and tone are fine but I can't get the split to work , I either get just single coil at high volume and the other at low volume (tested by tapping with screwdriver as not in a body) or nothing at all. Is there a way I can test both if the coils individually out if the guitar as I am now wondering if the pickup is faulty. I am struggling with the diagrams as its hard to work out the switch orientation in the images.

It should be fine - but if the pickup is only working as a single coil because it has a partial open circuit, or is wired out of phase with itself (or any combination of those!) then it will be too bright.
