I picked up a (used) set of Tex-Mex p'ups for my MIM Strat. Before I wire them up, can anyone tell me if Fender uses any convention to color code or distinguish between bridge, middle and neck p'ups? Black = ground = easy. The three pickup leads are red, yellow and white.

I can use a multi-meter to find the bridge as it's wound a little hotter at 7.4K. But the middle and neck are 6.4K each, the only difference is the middle is reverse-wound.

The Fender wiring diagrams aren't much help (color code-wise). Any help would be appreciated.
