I can't wire a tele custom - need suggestions

I have wired A LOT of guitars, but for some reason, every time I wire a guitar with 2 volumes and 2 tones, I seem to mess it up. Currently, the neck pickup (humbacker) bleeds into the bridge position (tele) on the switch.

so, when the right now it goes, bridge&neck/bridge&neck/neck . . .

why is this happening, I've rewired the guitar twice now, should I try switching the ground/lead on the humbucker in the neck? Any suggestions? I'm using this diagram and I've checked several times and nothing seems out of place.

Don't exactly know what causes your problem, but this website has a lot of different wiring schemes that might be of help. I was having a problem with my humbucker Esquire, and the wiring scheme from this site was the one that solved it.

Can you post a pic of what your current wiring looks like? If we can see it, someone might be able to pinpoint your problem.
