P-bass pickups with 3 wires

[Follow1]

I just bought Dimarzio DP250 Area P pickups and each pickup has a grey wire. I put them to the back of the pot, but there's a noise then i take my hand off the strings and output is weak.
Please help!

DiMarzio has wiring diagrams on their website.

Via email from DiMarzio Tech = "Grey is a ground wire. It should be soldered to the back of a control."

You have a grounding problem. This is not something that is related to pickups.

Hey, old thread resuscitation, but OP, did you ever get this correctly wired? There's still no instructions on their web site... I don't have a buzz, but I do have very weak output.

not surprising, two years later and dimarzio still won't admit that these pickups even exist! nothing at all on the website or in my dealer catalogs about them.

Have you put a meter across them? Series or parallel?

I just installed this pickup and found this thread regarding the extra grey wires. I did as stated and soldered the grey wires together and put them to ground along with the green wire. I use a Kellingsound solder-less harness so I just installed them to the same "ground hole." Working perfectly now.
