Classic 57 wiring in a Sheraton II

[Funkyard]

I have a 2006 Sheraton II, when the existing the pickups were pulled they were not soldered to the pots but had snap together connectors (see attached photo) I would like to used the extended wiring to hook up the new Classic 57 & 57+ pickups for now (I may want to replace the electronics at some time with a Mojo wiring harness). Can I just cut the wiring from the old pickup w/connector solder the ground wires to the exterior braiding of the Classic and them the two positives and snap them together. Or If using the connector is a bad idea then the same with out them? Any help is appreciated thanks

I wouldn't say it is a bad idea to solder it up that way. Just leave enough of the leads from the stock pup wires to solder to the new ones and use heat shrink wrap (which you can get at Radio Shack) and you should be good to go.

Did not work property for some reason although the pickups worked the volume controls were not in sinc with the toggle switch?

Are you sure you soldered the right wiring before wrapping with the heat shrink tubing? Because if one wire would not be connected properly. You would really have a problem.
