Rain Bird ESP: 2-3 Stations Stuck On, Controller Unresponsive

Controller Won't Change Stations, Valves Won't Close: Controller Failure

After winter, turned on main water. 2-3 stations came on and won't shut off unless main water closed. Controller doesn't change stations regardless of dial position.

Diagnosis: Controller Malfunction

The controller is not sequencing and not cutting power to valves. Classic controller failure.

Try Reset First

1. Disconnect power (unplug or breaker) for 1 minute.
2. Reconnect and test.
3. Verify valves are not manually opened (bleed screws closed).

If No Reset Fix → Replace Controller

Rain Bird ESP controllers are replaceable. Match station count. Wire for wire.
