Pickup/Wiring problem

Hey guys. I've been having some problems with my jackson warrior today. It was working fine yesterday, but today I was only getting sound out of the lowest pickup. The middle would cut in and out and the top wouldn't work at all. I was thinking because I transported my equipment in my car that maybe the heat got to the wiring and screwed it up. I kept the AC on blast but that's the only thing I could think of. The sound that did work sounded terrible at best.

Now the strange thing is, about an hour later, everything started working again and gradually started to sound like normal. I'm baffled and have no clue what to think. Any ideas or tips would be great. Thanks in advance.

Check the soldering on the wireing, also for cables which are touching. The joselting during transport may of damaged a solder joint or cause wires to meet.

I don't see how the AC could of caused such things to happen.

Hmm. I've checked and they all seem to be touching, but it looks the same as when I first got it. I checked a few diagrams of them and it seems to be right so I may have to take it in and have someone look at it.

I was worried about my car sitting in the sun and cooking my equipment so that's why I had the ac on but I guess I'll do some more research on it. Thanks a lot.

Out of curiosity are you using active pickups or are they passive cause heat can effect battery performance, and has been know to have strange effects on electronics in general.

They are active pickups and I was wondering the same thing about the heat because I loaded it up so it wouldn't be able to get banged around.
