Good luck with that. Most irrigation technicians I have seen don't have a clue about the solar sync or seasonal adjustment features. Most controllers I have inspected have the solar sync set to the wrong geographical zone. By the way, you can buy a new controller from Amazon for about $90, but the issue may be with the outside sensor. Another option is to replace the outside sensor with a wireless rain sensor only, which eliminates the seasonal adjustment feature altogether. Many irrigation companies will recommend that option.
