This morning I discovered that my sprinklers didn't work this morning.
When I looked at the controller it was flashing 2FUS. The system is about
10 years old.
The trouble shooting manual on the web states that there are crossed wires
or a bad valve. I looked at the connections and all of them look good and
tight. Shouldn't the valves work, except for the bad one?
I tested the pump and it is working fine.
Any ideas on how to go about diagnosing and correcting this problem?

Thanks
JD

I presume the 2FUS message is telling you that the fuse has blown.
Reasonable approach is to check the fuse with a multimeter if you have one.
If it's blown or you don't have a multimeter, buy a pack of suitable
replacement fuses (take the old one to RadioShack for like replacement) and
install a new one. Maybe it will now work. After all, fuses do often die
of prolonged use when used near their maximum rating. If the new fuse
blows, then you need to check your valve wiring for short circuits (crossed
wires or a bad valve solenoid).
