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.
