ed’, as indicated by a wavy red line at point “AA”, the electron path of least resistance is through the shorted path, thus avoiding the solenoid’s 30 ohms resistance. Such a shorted path would cause a resistance measurement of one ohm or less, typically blow a fuse in the controller, or be registered as a short by the controller’s internal diagnostics if so equipped. A short occurring at Point “BB” would, when Circuit 1 is activated, would also activate Circuit 2. Likewise, as when Circuit 2 is activated, Circuit 1 would also activate. Depending upon the electrical capacity

of the controller, you may immediately blow a fuse, operate with both circuits operating when either one is activated, or cause the controller’s transformer to run warm/hotter than normal – which may damage the transformer over the long run. Multimeter Measurements: When using a multimeter to measure the circuit’s ohm resistance measurements, the expected multimeter measurement for Circuit 1 is 30 ohms and for Circuit 2 is 10 ohms. However, if there is a short at loca-
