Quoted from "Wet_Boots" Why not get it replaced, if it is still under warranty? If the solenoid threads on the valve are 3/4 x 20, then you could probably use an Irritrol latching solenoid to actuate it. I'm in Turkey, and warranty is valid only for 2 years.. This devices are about 5 yrs old. Anyway, I just changed the capacitor inside with a 16V 10.000uF instead of 8200 uF (because i got only that at home) and used a spring taken out from a pen..And now it works..
Hello, I got a signature 8013e controller on 9003 valve. For a while, it just pulls the solenoid up, but at same second it releases the solenoid back. I checked the battery and it was fine. over 3.6v ..Even tested with a power adapter on this voltage instead of battery and result was same.. Checked the solenoid and it was moving freely inside the housing. What i suspect is maybe the spring inside has a kind of problem, or maybe the capacitor might not be working well and just can keep a power fo...
