Question
I cannot get the system to turn on automatically or manually. If I go outside I can turn it on by opening the valve all else fails. The rain sensor is turned off. Thank you, Chris

Answer
Hey Chris, if you can turn the valves on by the automatic valve, then you  have water to the valves. First I would check the controller and make sure you are getting power to the controller, and if you are, then I would check the wires going from the conroller to the valves, and if the wires and controller are working okay, then I would check the solenoids and diaphrams in the valves. Take it one step at a time. Also some controllers have fuses, you might first check and see if your controller has a fuse blown out in it. Good luck and let me know if I can be of anymore help, thanks and have a great day.
