sprinkler help please

Found where the wiring goes out of the house to the boxes. If I have time tomorrow I'll see if I can figure out on of the extra wires. If not it will be a couple weeks.

John T Rourke hit the troubleshooting very well, you must have done this before Brian.
Testing for output voltage is essential at the clock AND at the solenoid. What if you go through all the hassle of pulling new wire only to discover that particular output at the clock is dead?
As noted, you should have 24V DC between your outputs and common.
Adjust your solenoids. Too many people crank down the solenoids and forget them. Ideally you want to snug it down until the zone shuts off, then no more of a quarter turn further.

super sprinkler man
did repairs for years and installs for one. Repairs are much more interesting (ya never know what you might find) but you dig a lot more than installs (installs you have a crew).

even thought this was years ago, nothing really changes. Most residential installs are still done like shit. (low bidder and all that). but you pay for it in the long run.

Pull a new wire or buy an "Add a Zone" this will allow you to run two seperate zone with only one good wire.
