I have a Hunter I-Core controller with 15 zones active. A few of the zones share a field wire and use Add-a-Zone modules, but zones 1 and 2 appear to be wired direct, that is each has its own wire running from the controller to the solenoid.
Recently, the system has begun acting like the wires for zones 1 and 2 are shorted. That is, whenever the controller calls for either zone 1 or zone 2 to be active, both solenoids come on. An irrigation "expert" told me that this can sometimes be cause not by shorted wires, but by a faulty solenoid. I don't see how that could be the case, unless a bad solenoid can cause the controller to energizer another zone.
Anyone run into this before? Any thoughts? Thanks!
