Rain Bird ESP-6SI Controller


Question
Had a leak in a 1" tee and fixed it nicely.  Went to run a manual cycle and the heads will not come up on any zones.  Checked to make sure no one turned off the water, and it is on.  Unplugged the controller for 15 minutes, plugged it back, but still no water.  Controller is working.  It shows the zone and the flashing time remaining as it runs down, but heads are not coming up.  I didn't see any wires, so I don't think I could have cut one.  Landscapers recently turned system on from valve boxes, but I have used it several times since then and everything was working.  We just had a few big rain storms, but it worked yesterday and not today. I looked inside the valve boxes and everything looks fine, but I am not a wiring expert, I just looked at it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Double check the water supply to the sprinklers, and operate one of the valves manually from the valve (the small knob).  If you have water, then it must be something at the controller.  Make sure all the wires are connected to the terminals at the controller, and that the wire connections at the valves are good.  I hope you didnt accidentally nick the common wire when making your repair, but it could be.
