This is how to figure out the color codes for a humbucker pickup with 4 conductor wiring:

This way requires a voltmeter. If you don't have one, you can get one for cheap or even free at harbor freight if you receive their coupons in the mail. If you have a soldering iron you should really have a voltmeter so just pony up and get one. You'll also need an basic screw driver. If you don't have one of these, then I might be saying to you: "what the heck are you doing trying to wire hack your own pickups if you don't even own a screw driver!"



Okay, firstly set your voltmeter to read in 20kOhms. Now pick any two pickup wires and touch your two voltmeter wires to them. If you get a resistance reading, then both wires are connected to the same coil. If you don't get a reading, then grab another wire and try again until you do get a reading. Once you have two wires that give you a reading, you will also get a reading if you connect the other two wires. To determine which wires belong to which coil, first change your voltmeter to the 20V setting. with one wire pair connected, tap on one of the coils pickup poles with your screw driver. If it changes the reading, then those wires belong to that coil. You'll also notice that the reading will either went positive first, then negative, or vice versa. If you get a positive reading first, then whichever wire is connected to the positive (red) lead of the voltmeter is the start of that coil. If it went negative first, then the wire connected to the negative lead (black) of your voltmeter is the start of that coil. Do this test again for with the other wire pair and you'll know which wires are the start and finish wire for each coil.
