I have had my rainbird system for six years. I have six working zones that all come on in order, 2-7. Zone one died about three years ago, so the 1 wire moved to 7.
Yesterday, for the first time in three years something else changed:
Zone 5 - Blue Wire - Back Yard - turned on independently.
Zone 6 - Black Wire - Veggie Sprayer- turned on Zone 5 and Zone 6.
Every other zone 2, 3, 4, 7 worked fine.
So I started swapping around the wires. Blue 5, Black 6, Red 7. Blue 5, Red 6, Black 7. Black 5, Blue 6, Red 7... and so on.
So here is what happened:
Zone 5 - will no longer work independently - it turns on both 5 and 6.
Zone 6 - still turns on both 5 and 6.
Zone 7 - Zones 2, 3, 4, 7 still all worked fine, no matter what I did with the wires.
What is causing this and how do I fix it?
I want all of the zones to come on in succession.
Thanks!
