Irrig. System Not Watering

11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago

To start, I haven't used my system since last fall due to all of the rain we've received this year. And then my house gets hit with lightning in May and takes out the controller.

I bought a new one and wired it all up and when I tried to test the valves, nothing happened. The controller shows that it's watering but nothing in the yard.

I checked the controller and all of the zones are getting power. All of the zones have a resistance reading in the 30s except for zone 7 (out of 11) which reads 9.8. I checked the solenoid and its resistance was 42.

Im sure there's a short in the wiring of 7 but I can't figured out why none of the zones will water. I had a short in a line before and it only prevented that one zone from watering, not the whole system. Does anyone have any idea what be wrong?
