I have never had a problem with my Rainbird timer system in the past.
This year when I went to turn the system on, the message on the timer said "PWR OFF". It was plugged in so I went and checked the breaker - no problem. Then I noticed that the timer has a 1 amp fuse in it. I took the fuse out and saw that it was blown. When I replaced the fuse, it immediately blew. This happened twice.
The only thing that has changed since last year is that we began to put an in-ground pool in our yard. The only excavating that has been done was one 12 foot deep hole about three feet wide and eight feet long. While digging, the excavator did rip a sprinkler line. However, it appeared as though nothing else was damaged.
Could their have been some electrical part (ie. valve) that was cut during the excavation that would cause the fuse to continuously blow? The hole is about 10 - 15 feet from the house. I can't imagine a valve would be that far from the house.
Anyway, any suggestions? I don't want to start digging holes all over the place without some guidance.
