Default Irrigation rain sensor replacement

My rain sensor finally deteriorated and fell apart due to 20 years in sun after wind storm other day.

Before I replaced it I confirmed the old wiring was good from outside to controller.

I replaced sensor with same type. Was nearly impossible from me to run new wiring up under eve down attic inside electric panel out through inside of wall out to irrigation controller so I just spliced it with these butt connectors for 22 plus AWG a wiring. Very easy to work with and use.

After I was done I tested it by pushing down on sensor top pin while irrigation zone was running and it shut if off , after I released it zone kicked back on again.. done.
