Coil split for the bridge pickup.
’Blower’ switch - full bridge pickup irrespective of other switch settings.

Another possibility is that the neck pickup mode switch is series/parallel. Does the pickup still reject hum in the low power mode?
Thanks for taking the time out to reply,
The "blower" switch for the bridge sounds like a great idea , need to figure out how to wire it and retain the Coil tap .
For future reference is it possible to split a stacked pickup like a normal humbucker ?
One side of the switch disconnects the coil split connection, that's the obvious bit. The other side selects either neck pickup or bridge pickup going to the 'neck' side of the selector switch, so that when it's in 'blower' mode the selector switch is selecting bridge pickup in all positions.
Yes, but the result isn't what you expect - you will lose the hum cancellation and the pickup will get *louder*. This is because in normal hum-cancelling operation, the coils are out of phase so there is some volume drop.
If it gets a lot quieter, as Funkfingers suggested it's probably selecting the lower (mostly hum-cancelling) coil not the upper (mostly string-sensing) one.

Will attempt the rewire on the weekend
Switches - Coil Tap Bridge - Phase - Blower
Thanks for everyones help
