-Raspberry Pi3 -Open Sprinkler board with expansion

For some reason when I set zone 1 to run it turns on zone 2 sprinkler, zone 2-> turns on zone 3, and so forth. Therefore I cannot even run zone 1. I checked the wiring and zone 1 wire is connected to the zone 1 pin on the board. Is there some setting that could be causing this?

I have thought about just shifting all the wires down by one on the connector, but I wanted to see if this could be fixed with a software setting first.

Thanks,

You may be having a similar issue I had, I had wired GPIO17 on my Pi2. That correlates to GPIO 0 per wiringpi. In your Zone configuration make sure you turn on the Pump and Enable the Zone. That's how I got my to come on. You could also change the Pi GPIO that you are using. Hope that helps.
