Look for damaged or corroded wires and replace them, using watertight connectors. Ensure the dial is set to the AUTO RUN position, and the date and time are correctly set on the controller. If a Rain Sensor is installed, it may be activated; operation will resume when it dries, or you can test by disconnecting the sensor and connecting a jumper wire. If no Rain Sensor is installed, ensure the jumper wire is present and undamaged. Finally, an electrical surge may have damaged the timer; disconnect power for 3 minutes, press reset, and turn...
