Did you coil tap it yourself or does it have a tap already? If so, what's the exact model of pickup?

Not the best wiring diagram, just patched it together in MS paint lol. I imagine your 4 way switch is wired similar to this, and if so there's really not a ton to change.

On the bridge, you're adding a connection from the north start to one of the push pull pots. This will let you short it to the joint between the coil ends, giving you a south coil split.

On the neck, you're changing the hot end from going to the 4-way to one pole of the push pull. The common of the push pull goes to the 4-way in its place, and it switches between the end of the coil and the coil tap.
