in Thermostats and Controls
Has anyone on here had issues with Taco ZVC box buzzing and lights flashing but still working? I have never had one do this.

    What zones are the LED's "flashing". If you take the t-stat wires off the zone ( zones ) that are flashing and just jump the R-W of the zones does it still flash or are they solid? What type of t-stats and do they require a com wire?

    If, after trying @SteveSan wiring troubleshooting without resolution, it may be a bad transformer or grounding issue.

    You might need to use the resistors that comes with it if you are using power stealing thermostats. I can't remember what the resistant of them are, but I know they come with the newer ZVC control boxes. Some stats will cause this.

    It may be that the two transformers are out of phase. Perhaps transformer A is somehow connected to transformer B thru some mis-wiring.

    Thanks for all of the help. I traced the issue to the a short in the main board near the master/slave switch.
    The thermostats are a Honeywell Digital with battery.
