First check the fuse. Make sure it hasn't blown for some reason, and make sure everything is tight. Check the wiring on the transformer. Terminals 1 and 4 each get a hot. 2 and 3 have a jumper connecting them. 5 and 8 go to AC1 and AC2 on the controller, 7 is ground.

Do you have a multi meter that you can use to check that the transformer is sending out the correct voltage?

Yes he has a multi meter...I will have him check the transformer to make sure it is sending out the correct voltage. Can you tell me how he would do that?

First check that you're getting continuity through the fuse. If you're not, then either the fuse is bad or the fuse holder is bad or the fuse isn't tight in the holder.

If the fuse is good then measure the voltage coming out of the transformer- when measuring the voltage between the two wires going from the transformer to the controller you should get about 24 volts AC. Set the meter to VAC and put a probe on each terminal. You can either measure from the terminals on the transformer or the AC1 and AC2 terminals on the controller. Be careful since there will be live wires.
