I have 3 heads on the feeder line 2 work one has no water. I have removed the head and found no blockage at the head and run wire through the the line. Any suggestion as to how I can find the blockage with out digging up the lawn.

Find a friend with an air compressor and blow out the line. You will need to securely cap off the 2 heads that work (so your air doesn't escape there) and temporarily remove the head that doesn't work. Then blow air from where the water normally hooks up to the piping. Your clog should come flying right out of the end of the pipe.
Good luck with the clog!

You need to blow out the line with compressed air.
The only other thing I can think of is to remove the blocked head and try to hook up a garden hose to it and back-flush the line. That may free up the clog. If the line clears, then leave the head off and run the water through to try and flush out the clogged material. good luck.

Try back flushing if this does not work try capping one end with a valve, then pressurise the line , quickly open the valve, releasing the pressure might move the blockage along the line, try a couple of times.

plug the other 2 and see if water pressure will push it out
