    I noticed tonight that the rear of the house lighting didnt come on. No rain in a week or two. Opened the transformer and orange switch is set to OFF. Put it to ON, transformer buzzed and then popped to OFF. My guess is a short? But how do I find it or is it an internal failure?

    More information about your setup would be helpful. When you say rear lighting didn’t come on, does that mean lights elsewhere do turn on? Is everything controlled by one transformer? Are you using hubs or buried connections? How long ago did you install? How many watts is your transformer and how many lights are installed? Thanks.
