Silverberry Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hello. I have a 2008 Squier Standard. My output jack was a bit loose so i tighten it, but swirl a bit and a cable from inside has gone loose. I was expecting to find two cables there but I might be wrong. I can take it to a technician, but if it's only 1 minute work, it can save me time and money. Can you please help me where was it's connection? Thank you in advance 0-02-0a-14e3983020925bf1c150b5bf712ac701c0c29862c85b4b6309c4d133639ae12a_6bd420bd.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) That’s your signal wire - solder it to the top lug of the tone pot. Also, it might be worth soldering a wire from the other lug on your socket to the back of one of the other pots while you’re in there… Edited August 12, 2021 by paul_5 Pictures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) It looks like the ground is reliant on the plate covering... and the hot to the jack tip i would suggest came from the middle (wiper) terminal of the nearest pot... (bottom of the orange capacitor)... could be wrong?... Is there any stub of wire left on the terminal, or any of the others. Prolly tightening the jack socket turned it and fractured the wire at the solder join... Edited August 12, 2021 by PaulThePlug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 While you're in there, you'll do your future self a massive favour if you replace the existing jack socket with a switchcraft one. You can get one for about four quid delivered from ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
