Thank you for the troubleshooting steps. I thought my sprinklers were working normally because the timer control was set to early morning but my grass was getting dry. Sprinklers would not turn on manually. Turns out the irrigation control valve was turned off and I don’t know how that would have happened since I didn’t do it.
Excellent video - clear and efficient. Thanks for putting this together!
Thank you. Your video is very informative and thorough 👍🏼
Many thanks for this video. It helped me find my problem quickly, specifically checking the power outlet with a known working device. The GFI was tripped on my plug.
I had mine for 23 years still works
Have ours now for almost 30 and not one problem EVER… amazing
Thank you for going through all the trouble shoots! My simple mistake was the water was not ok outside. 😂 after I turned the water on, the sprinklers came on!
Fixed my problem with the information in the first 2 minutes of this video. Thank you.
Thanks for the detailed video. I'll let you know if this resolved my issue.
Thanks for the detailed troubleshooting ideas. I was able to fix my sprinkler start issue.
George, thanks for watching. That is awesome to hear that this video helped and that you got your sprinklers fixed!

2nded!
Very informative thanks
In case you didn't know, opposite your solenoids you have a little plastic bolt that when untied will release water manually as well, it's a little more practical I think. good video though!
Excellent ! thank you sir .
Sorry I'm reading the main headlines on the post and the problem I'm having is I don't have no power to the Box itself. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get any feedback within the next 2 minutes but before I check all the water pressure and all that stuff I'm trying to get the box to turn on
Nice. Thank you for this. I have NO idea how these boxes work at all, so this was very helpful for me to get started fixing the mother in law's system...
Mine works only when I run each zone manually. It won't come on at the times I have set. I'm thinking the programming is not correct but, they were working and then stopped working. The unit is about nine years old. So probably need a new programmable unit.
Update. I realized I had programed it wrong. I had even purchased a new one but then returned when I learned the correct way to program it.
I'll post the vid that showed me the correct way. th-cam.com/video/0HxtX5BW7l4/w-d-xo.html
Thanks a lot for being so thoughtful on your video.
Thanks for watching! I appriciate it!
Last year worked well, is it possible that the person who shut down sprinklers last year and turn off something I do not know?
Thank you so much. It helped me to save couple of hundred dollars.
Thanks for watching, I am glad you saved money!
I had my system blown out before winter. Came out this morning to turn the system back on, opened all valves from the street to the solenoid valves and no water pressure. When they blow these out is there a trick to get water pressure again? Super weird. Should have pressure!
i have 5 zones. last year all worked well. now three work as programmed and two do not. when I loosen the solenoid there is water sprinkling strongly, when I shut it off again it stops. If i understand what you're saying, it's either two zones that have an electical break, or it's the control box. it's not likely that two zones (different areas) go broken, so it may be the control box. can you say how to trouble shoot that please? it's either than, or a new one is needed. thanks for your clear explanation. It would be great if you can go this one last step with me. thank you.
I have the same issue with this, but mine's only 1 zone, hopefully todd will kindly explain to us, triple thumbs up for Todd"s garage
Can you help?
A sprinkler 1 zone not working and they said Erow. The order 2 zone working great
Thanks so much
I have power and water is on and I did everything you said but it's not working. It has a flashing sprinkler system logo. What's the problem now?
Appreciate the video. Why won’t the sprinklers come up when I turn the selinoid? Sounds like water running but none of the heads come up
Box was unplugged and how to turn sprinklers back on.doninhave to turn it to the run setting again or do I have to reset the sprinkler time schedule?
I have two drip lines each on a separate valve let’s call them A&B. They are each programed to start and stop. We replaced our Hunter X-core for another one. Three wires, the ground and one hot wire from each valve. We tried running each manually. A ran and watered the front. B-also watered the front which should be impossible I would think. We connected everything just as the old controller was set up. It was only three wires, help! Please
Great video. However, “my opinion “ is that I don’t think you need a qualified electrician to reset a tripped circuit breaker (CB). Look in the breaker box for the tripped CB. By chance if you have NOT ever dealt with a CB box, you tube it. It’s as simple as turning on your kitchen lights. One rule though…..if you reset the CB and it trips again, DO NOT hold it on or reset it. Call an electrician.
Thank you so much for great information!!What if some sprinklers do turn on but some don't? I'm guessing the solenoid needs to be replaced?
i have asked the same question just now. hopefully we'll get a reply. he seems a good guy.
@@peterlevitt2750 I replaced the valve and it worked! Best of luck!
I have a hunter in ground sprinkler system. Only zone 6 isn’t function. Verified 24 v and 28 ohms going to selinoid. Did an ohm test at selinoid at valve box. When manually turning on valve at selinoid, water goes into sprinklers, but heads don’t come up. WTH?
Selonoids also fail
I have the same problem! What was the issue?
@@bassetto1603 I ended up replacing both the solenoid and diaphragm. Got them from Amazon for under $20. Worked like a champ. Most of my time was spend researching. May the grass be with you. Best of luck.
So I have a 1 zone that won't turn on manually I turn all the sprinklers on manually and all work besides 1 zone and I replaced and solenoid and still the sprinklers do not turn on to that 1 zone . When i do turn that 1 zone on manually it sprays out water from the valve.
The power cord got chewed up by some kind of animal, any ideas on what is needed to fix that? An electrician or sprinkler repair place?
Just asking i dont know which valve is the broken one it wont turn on and its the 6 station
I actually have the last two sprinklers in one zone not working. These are for flower beds. Other sprinklers are working at full pressure. Any ideas of problem?
I have the same problem! What was the issue?
Did you ever figure out what was wrong I have the same problem has of now.
@@bassetto1603 actually I did. A little embarrassing but they was a gap in the connection. Fortunately no water leakage issues. Check all connections.
@@joseduque4043 actually I did. A little embarrassing but they was a gap in the connection. Fortunately no water leakage issues. Check all connections.
@@MikeRobishaw Well, I had the same problem! Glad it's fixed now. Thank you!
My control box's numbers look faded, and also whenever I try to turn on the sprinkler system, the whole entire control box will turn off. Seems to turn off whenever a load it applied.
In my case, everything is alright, the controller is on, there is water if I turn the sprinklers on manually, the cord that goes from the controller to the sprinklers is good, the only option is the actual box. I ordered a new one, let's see. If it's not the box, I guess my house is haunted by ghosts who hate lawn
It didn’t work
My sprinkler control box won’t even turn on
See if you have 24 volts dc to the main feed to the controller.May want to backtrack as suggested and trace power source.
Plug it in
My sprinklers turn on randomly. Multiple times a day. Help Please.
