I need some help with a strange problem. I have a lawn sprinkler system with a WeatherMatic 8A controller operating seven sectors. The seven valves ae located 3,3,1 in separate valve "boxes". Last week an old valve ruptured (in a valve "box" of three). I replaced the valve as I have replaced others at previous times. After replacement I restarted the system. But strangely now, none of the three valves at that location will work. I did nothing to the other two there and simply replaced the wirin...

I have an 8-location WeatherMatic Mark *A controller on a sprinkler system which uses 7 of the 8 dtations (several sprinklers on ach) Recentlty, I had an old valve fail and replaced it ( I've done this sucessfully on two or three other occassions --it's an old system and I seem to have a vaalve fail each year!) When I restarted the system none of the three valves in the valve box ehere I replaced one will work. I have water at all three, manually the valves work, and I have 24V A.C. currecnt ge...
