On my squier strat the volume doesnt come out through theamp at all[i know it's not the amp or cable cuz i've hooked others things up to it to make sure]. Everytime i push and hold the volume knob at 10 volume it plays in the amp but as soon as i let go it produces no sound. I think it may be some wiring or the knob is loose but im not sure

It is not clear if the volume knob you are talking about is in the amp or the guitar... SINCE you said you verified the amp is OK I have to assume the volume control you are talking about is in the guitar and my answer is based on that...
I SUSPECT that the resistance element and/or the wiper in the volume pot is damaged. One other possibility is the soldering of a wire to the volume pot may be bad. If you are competent with a soldering iron you could replace the pot yourself or take it to a competent guitar shop for repair. I would myself suggest you open the electronics and look for anything obviously wrong. I have ALSO seen one other problem where one lead of a pot is touching the CONDUCTIVE paint in the cavity where the controls are. If the shaft nut becomes loose and the pot slightly rotates this can happen, grounding out the signal.
