How to wire this 5 way selector switch.

    I've bought this guitar tech 5 way selector switch after mine went on the blink and I'm having some trouble connecting the wires.
    I've tried numerous combinations and nothing seems to work...There's always one pickup not working.
    I know the picture is crap so I hope you can see there are 7 connections: 3 on either side and 1 in the middle(It's nowhere the same as the last one off the guitar).
    The guitar is a fender strat and has 3 fender tex-mex pickups. It has 1 volume button and 2 tone buttons. Nowhere on the internet can I find a diagram for this kind of set-up.

    Please help...
    Dose anyone out there have any idea how to wire this lot?

    You might dig up some schematics on www.fenderforum.com

    Look no further for all things Strat!

    OK.. Thanks mate.
    Now this is the kind of diagram I seem to find everywhere. Only thing is I don't know how to apply this to the switch I've gone and cursed myself with.
    With the new switch all the solder points are on the one side where as the origional switch they're all on the top and in a different format. I'm sick playing the epiphone... Please help!

    My guitar has a 20 lug switch on it :confused:

    If you wire up the signal wire between the switch and input jack, you could probably work out what goes where by hooking it up to an amp, and then tapping the various lugs to see which one is connected to the signal output at each setting.
