Rainbird Rain Sensor issue (cutting, control)

[hou-iah]

When I have my rain sensor switch in Active, I get an alarm light, and when I put in bypass the light goes out. So I figure I have a bad sensor. However, I shorted the wires together after cutting off the switch and I am still getting the light. Is my controller messed up? I doubt the wires are bad.





It is a Hunter mini-click sensor.

Well, when I jumper the the connections with a small wire at the controller the light goes out..so apparently my wires are bad. Not sure how they are in PVC.
