Well I hope at least a few sparky's are still around during the summer. I could use some advice. Today I installed a new outlet in my garage (swapped a beige one for white) and upon re-installation I find that none of my outlets in my garage work. I have no blown circuits which leads me to suspect I have a bad GFI plug. The outlet I replaced was at the "end of a line" with no others downline.
So here is my issue - I have three GFI outlets inside and all are still functioning at the plugs themselves. But I'm pretty sure one of them goes to my garage outlets. Is it possible for a GFI to go bad only "down stream"? And if so, how do I figure out which one powers the garage outlets? Turning circuits on and off does me no good since the outlets in the garage are down right now, with all circuits on. Sooooo frustrating. Thanks for any advice
