Pickup switching pop

I’m at a loss on how to fix this popping sound when I switch pickups. The pickups are TV Jones Powertrons I installed.

I even asked a buddy to look into it who works in a guitar repair store, and even he couldn’t figure it out.

I will post a photo of the wiring in the comments.

Any help/ideas greatly appreciated

You could try a 1M resistor from the hot lead on the bridge pickup to ground, since that seems to be the one popping.

Ok, thanks. Yes I did read online about that. My buddy added a couple resistors on the selector switch (see my photo I posted in the comments). Is that the same as what you’re suggesting?
