I replaced a Pickguard : I was careful, However after re-installing My Neck Pup is very low volume and tinny I realize looking at Photos makes it difficult : Hoping someone either sees where I loosened a solder joint or has some other idea . From what I can tell everything appears fine. It's just the Neck pickup that all of a sudden is weaker :

It looks like it might be a 1/2 cold joint?

Are you referring to the Ground that Goes to Bridge Spring area on the back of Body : I've never messed with This stuff before But I assume that is the Ground leading to the Volume Pot :

I would unsolder the pickup in question and test it’s resistance with a multimeter to ensure there is not an issue with the wind. Also, if somehow the pickup was assembled with the leads reversed you would have it out of polarity with the Rest of the set. For this you could try reversing the hot/ground on that pickup.

If the other pickup levels are OK that sort of eliminates things that are common to all three, such as the pickup ground lead solder on the volume pot. Look at the contact for that pickup on the switch to make sure it is working correctly. You also might have one of the two solder joints on the pickup for the leads that is bad. Or you could have broken a winding wire at one of those solder joints, especially if you had the pickup cover off, and now it is barely making contact. Rare, but I have seen it happen.
