I looked for a fuse but couldn't find one, even when I removed the face
plate. I am not sure where else a fuse would be. I can't even get any of
the zones to run on manual. I believe the transformer is working because
the LED lights up, even when the battery back up is removed. I am not sure
how to check the solonoids. I don't have a multi meter, but this may be a
good excuse to get one.
Thanks for the input.

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

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).
