This is a V5 I built and used last season. During bench test before placing in the yard I check all my units. This v5 LE has the 4th channel on soon as power is plugged in. All other channels seem to work fine. I removed the channel chip from a working unit same results. Any assistance is welcomed, thank you

The ones I have had like that ended up being a blown triac. A pain to replace, but doable.
-
oh dang all now, I hate the idea of removing it you are correct that will be a pain. thank you sir

Pull the opto chip for that channel, if it is still on then the triac is most likely bad. Make sure to check for solder bridges and see if a bigger load changes things before removing the triac.

pulled the chip and the channel remains on. all solder bridges are good. thank you both for your help most appreciated
