its weird. the rhythm circuit works perfect. I hard wired the bridge pickup to the jack to see if it was the pickup that was deffective but the pickup worked. i follow the fender and seymour duncan diagrams for a Jag and put the wire from the treble pickup on the on off switch, and I get nothing.

what the hell is going on? my other jaguar has never done this!!

Have you checked the wires on the off-position for the rhythm switch? Could be a fault there.
Check the joins on all the posts.

I figured it out. I felt kinda dumb after I did.

the bass cut wire (blue to tone pot) was disconnected. I didn't think it made a difference!

Yeah, that'd do it

The bass cut switch is in direct line of the whole circuit; the lead pickups run straight through it.
Glad ya got it sorted.
