<p>To the two or three folks who offered any kind of response to my post for help, I replaced the volume pot with a new one and still had the same issue ~ volume is on at same level no matter what you do with the volume knob.</p>
<p>I was sure somebody here would know what was wrong and have the solution. Pretty disappointed to find this place is basically an empty forum. No worries. I'll figure it out on my own. </p>

<p>No didn't mean to give the impression I was talking about the tone knob. Strictly talking about having volume even with the volume knob turned all the way off. Tone control seems to be working fine, as is everything else.</p>
<p>Just read my original post and saw I said tone knob. DUH. Don't know how that popped out of my brain. Too long ago to edit, but anyway just the volume pot.</p>

You say the volume is on when you turn the tone knob... The tone knob isn't supposed to affect the volume... Just making sure....

<p>Hey, the diagram gpeg wouldn't download, so here's the link to the video where the wiring diagram I used is shown. The video shows the actual wiring, the diagram is at the end, starting at 4:20.</p>

You need to check the volume pot with an ohm meter, by connecting to the correct 2 leads and turn the control knob back & forth. i.e. 10K pot if it doesn't change pot NG.
