If you don't know this already, you can connect just the pickups via a lead from the output jack or with test leads from the output jack hot & ground, to a amp input (make sure the amp volume is OFF to start with).
You can turn the volume up gradually and tap the pole pieces of the pickups with a steel object (commonly a screwdriver). You will only hear a clicking sound, but it will tell you if the pickups are passing a signal, if the switch configuration is correct and if the volume & tone pots are working correctly.
