1) If a single pickup/single knob diagram is too confusing for you, have someone else do the work. Not trying to insult you, just gently indicating you might not be up to the job.

2) If you're the guy that clipped those wires, and in the places where it was done, let someone else pull out your electronics for you next time. You should have desoldered\clipped at the pot, NOT 3 inches from the pickup.

3) Desolder everything. If possible, get new pots. (not necessary, but cleaner.) Then, follow the SD wiring diagram.

4) Nothing TTOC is saying is wrong, but he's really going to get you over thinking or over complicating this. 1 pickup 1 volume is as simple as it gets. If this isn't easy enough, maybe you should not work on your own guitar? I would honestly find someone who knows what they are doing who will let you watch and explain what they're doing.
