Well a short is a pretty obvious possibility, and easy to check. Pop
the connection off the valve, and see if the light lights. If it does,
you've got a short.
If it is the valves switch, all is not lost. The switches trigger rod
can be recentered if it's off by simply prying it back center.
Obviously, you've got to unscrew the switch first.
