    Outdoor receptables
    My front yard and back yard receptables have no power. What are some of the causes? They are GFI with no reset buttons.

    That GFI could be in a bath or some other place inside.

    Possibly a GFI circuit breaker also.
    When I had a similar problem with o/s receptacles, after a lot of searching I found a tripped GFI outlet that controlled the o/s receptacles which had been concealed when the previous owner installed a suspended ceiling.
