Steve, this could be a bit stickey, but you must first find out if we are dealing with the incomming 110 wiring or the field valve wiring.
A bit more info would be a big help.
Do the wires come from two different places on the clock? Are they black, white, and green, f'rinstance?

Help with wiring

Help! I moved into a home with rainbird sprinkler systems amd an Optima controller/timer. Apparently the previous owner had a dog that chewed the wiring to the timer, also there's like a 3 wire extension cord coming from the valves where they're connected to the inside of the garage with no connector on the end. I'm new at this. I bought a new Optima timer thinking I could just connect the same wires, program it and that would be it. Unfortunately some of the color wires are not connected and I don't know what to do with this "extension cord". Does it plug into the wall? All sprinklers work when valves are turned on manually. Any help would be appreciated.
