The wiring or electromagnets could be showing their age, a connection might be bad, or the pickup's height adjustment may be getting too low. (The closer the pickup is to the strings, the louder the sound generally is; make sure there is still room for the strings to be pressed, and vibrate clearly.)

I only have one guitar pickup How do you install a second guitar pickup?
You may have to route a new hole in your guitar to fit the pickup you want inserted, or have it done for you professionally (Advisable!!). Put the pickup in place and wire it to the volume pot, which should connect to the tone pot and then to the output jack of the guitar. Alternatively, if there is space, usually if you have a higher action on your guitar, you could simply screw the pickup to the body/pick guard and the wire it up (or the other way round).
