Default Wiring help please

I wired my strat with HSS configuration and 5 way switch for autosplit using this schematic

http://www.seymourduncan.com/support...2s_1v_2t_5w_as

only to discover that none of the tone controls affects the bridge humbucker. Is there a way to move the one tone control (preferably the one that is associated with the middle pickup) to the bridge pickup?

move the wire from the "white middle" connection that is connected to the tone pot to the "bridge black"

Just jump a wire from the switch terminal that has the bridge hot wire to the input side of the pot you want to control it.

See the black wire going from from the tone pot to the same lug on the switch that the middle pickup hot lead is soldered to? Leave the white wire there, but move that black wire to the same lug that the bridge black is connected to. Voila, Bridge tone pot.

Strange......that's what i did...and when i tried to see if everything was working ok, the tone pot was acting like a volume pot, silencing completely the pickup when i was turning the tone pot down.

Then it sounds like the tone pot isn't wired correctly.
