What you describe sounds like pickups fighting against each other meaning, does this occur when using pickups individually or together? This is normal when using more than one pickup together, if it occurs in single mode, something is wired wrong. Another thing is, If using single, are you splitting coils? Individual coils wired wrong can do this, a bad pickup selector switch can also. A loose wire or fiber touching the tone pot capacitor or ground could also. A dead coil on a humbucker can as well. I'm guessing that you are using these in combo meaning a possible pickup selector switch may not be switching properly. The player's level of experience is also in my mind since, all of my guitars do the exact same ONLY when I use more than one pickup. I hardly ever use more than one at a time unless I'm playing a strat.
That guitar features two single coil pickups when stock. If, however, you or someone else installed a 4 conductor humbucker in the neck and you want to access other tonal options, check out the Seymour Duncan web site- they have tons of easy to understand diagrams- you just need the soldering skills to make use of them!

Most likely problem is failing battery. Note that batteries have a habit of recovering when idle for a bit. Leaving guitar cable plugged in drains the battery as the presence of the cable is what turns on the preamp.
for your set up, all u have to do is to do is wire the positive parallel form the pick-up or volume knob into the middle lead of the pot, wire the negative parallel to the casing of the pot, and put a .022- .033 ohm capacitor from the casing to the pot lead on the right, when viewed from the bottom. wiring parallel means "tapping into" the circuit, not rerouuting the circuit.
