The standard wire chaser I know of is the Progressive model 521, used by most irrigation guys to find valves and chase valve wires. Some of the irrigation suppliers have them to rent, along with some rental centers. A pretty simple device that isn't too hard to figure out.

Hopefully its just a cut wire and nothing else. Don't know what the system looks like, but I would leave it at that if you find a break and it turns on. Too many things could be wrong with the system to even begin trying to solve the problem if they don't turn on after the break is fixed.

Be sure to tell the people that if no break is found, they should be ready for the worst..............its common for a 'few lights' not working turning into a complete rip out and new install of the entire system.
