How To Replace A Sprinkler Valve Solenoid

[MrKuriosity]

I can buy the sprinkler valve in Germany?

I have a problem. My rainbird controller fuse blows off when it gets to zone 5 out of 7 zones. When i turn the zone 5 to 00 running time, it skips the zone 5 and works fine all the way to zone 7. I am guessing that there is some electric issue with zone 5 valve. Any suggestions?? replace valve or replace solenoid or what???

On each valve (which the solenoid is on) is a little round knob. Turn the round knob counter clockwise to open that valve. Now go check to see which sprinklers are on.  This will tell you which valve goes for which system of sprinklers in your yard.

Next to each valve (which the solenoid is on) is a little round knob. Turn the round knob counter clockwise to open that valve. Now go check to see which sprinklers are on. This will tell you which valve goes for which system of sprinklers in your yard.

How do you know which solenoid goes with what zone on your system? We don't have just one control box we have about 4 of the small round control boxes spread about the front & back yard. Some have just one solenoid & others have 2. =/

@BravadAurora We just went through that. I had to resort to trial and error. Good luck.
