Zone running on its own
I am pretty new to this so be easy on me. [
]
We bought a house a couple years ago with a Richdel 446pri system. It has 6 zones and has always runs fine. Well with the exception the previous owner built a screened in porch and never capped off zone 5. So it was easy enough. Just never run zone 5. Well...a couple months ago we came home and zone 5 was running. Still shut off but running. We had to actually unplug the whole system for it to turn off. So we can plug it back in without it turning on. However, no matter what zone we run now, zone 5 comes on with it. Even though its set to off. Zone 5 has I think 3 sprinklers attached to it. All which started this on the same day.
Hopefully something that does not require crawling under the porch? [
]
Any ideas? help??
