SPRINKLER TALK FORUM - You Got Questions, We've Got Answers

Hey guys,

I have a Toro Greenskeeper 212 that was installed by the previous owner of my house. It has worked flawlessly for the 3 years since I have owned the house. I fired up the system this spring an the 12th station doesn't work. The trouble shooting guide in the manual says that it is probably faulty wiring. So I pull the cover of the controller for the first time and I notice there isn't a wire going into the 12th station? So I'm not sure how it was working in previous years. Is there someway to have piggiebacked stations on top of each other? I'm not sure what wires I should be looking to fix. See attached for reference. By the way, the 12th station is for above the ground sprinklers in the flower beds, I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

Wet_Boots, I agree, that is why I am so confused. It was absolutely working just fine the last three years. Any idea how you would proceed in my situation? Basically I now have a dead zone of sprinklers not being controlled by anything.

Central Irrigation - The photo does look like their are two wires per terminal on 5,6 but there are just one, the other wires loop under but don't connect. And no jumper from 8 to 6. Super weird. I wish there was a way of tracking down which valve is responsible for that station so I could check the connection there.
