Re: My four out of nine stations won't come on How are the valves laid out? Are 1-4 in a separate valve box than 5-9, fed by a separate cable? Sounds like your cable is cut to me. |

| Thanks for your quick response. I believe each valve fed by separate cable (because each valve has its own box) then each cable run to the timer control box. Similarly, valve 5-9 also had their own boxes.
When I said, I manually turn on the valves, I meant physically turn on/off the valves.
When I tested the solenoid resistance, I did you that near the sprinkler valves?
The common wire is just one wire so I guess it is common for all stations, so if it doesn't work then it should have caused issues for other stations as well, right ? but in this case, only first 4 stations didn't work. |
