The last receptacle on the circuit has no power going to it. It is located outside, but is not a gfci. Thank you.

There may be a GFI located someplace in the building that is protecting this outlet, and it is tripped. Or there is a loose connection at or somewhere in the circuit.

If you had a GFI breaker the entire circuit would be dead so we know it isn't the breaker. There really should be a GFI receptal on the outside box so now may be the time to install one. If the connections at this last receptical are good but not hot go back to the next outlet up stream, this may be your problem area but do consider the GFI receptical.

I would use an extension cord plugged into a known good circuit(with hot, neutral and ground at end of cord. Measure between Extension cord hot and bad receptacle neutral,
GFI's when tripped disconnect Hot AND Neutral. Now Measure between Cord Neutral and receptacle Hot(Small slot)
Summary: if you lost hot OR neutral, possibly at receptacle or box connection upstream.
If both lost, likely GFI tripped. If Hot, Neutral, and Ground lost, then Carpenter cut through all wires(Don't ask)

Simply examine the outlets wires, are they connected to the recptacles screws? Or are they the push in type in the back where you can't see? Usually the push in types are found and they are notorious for this, if there is voltage there that's it,
If no voltage go to the next to last where there is and see if the wires feeding the dead receptacle are attached and live/have voltage.
There can be times where voltage appears to be present but upon a load of a few amps will disappear thus proving a bad connection, maybe 1 strand of wire touching , etc.

Also consider that it may have just gotten wet and shorted out, take the cover off and use a voltage tester to see if you are getting power. Also check to see if the receptacle that is feeding it (if you know which one that is) has everything connected properly.

OP stated no power and was last in the circuit, evidencing a knowledge of the circuits outlets and position, If the outlet were "shorted" due to water or anything else, the breaker would blow and the rest of the circuit will be dead too, not just the last one in the circuit, that's impossible.

Pay attention to the date of the original post, Sept, 2007.

I think the outlet is working by now.
