I haven't been able to get back into this issue until today. I dug the sprinkler that I changed back up and found no cut wires. I do not think that is my issue. Here is what is going on.
I am able to get all stations to run manually until I get to this one particular station, then every time I try to manually advance, it just keeps running that station like it is stuck there or something. If I go back the next day, it is still stuck on that station, but if I wait two-three days it will work again on all stations until it gets back to that one station.
Also, I checked my wiring and it appears from looking at my book (Rainbird ESP 6TM) that I have wiring for a pump start. I have one lead going into the common, the other lead goes into station one, then a wire runs from station 1 to station 3 and from station 3 to station 5. This is confusing to me for a couple reasons. First of all, I have no pump. I run off the main water line. Secondly, I have six stations. When I run manually I get nothing on stations 2, 4 and 6. So I have to run through the stations twice to get all six to go.
Confused on many levels here guys, and as you can probably tell, I am a newbie with sprinkler systems. I live in a house that was built in the late 80's and I imagine the sprinkler systems was installed then. I know I could call a technician, but would really like to figure out how to get it working myself.
Any ideas?
