2 outlets stopped working on the same day.
Location: in attached garage and outside of house near front door.
Had Xmas lights plugged into both outlets during a rain storm. Following day both stopped working. Checked fuse box and couldn't find problem. Any help is appreciated.

Check all ground fault receptacles, can be found in garage, outside, kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
Sounds like one tripped, you can find a reset button on each.

I'm assuming a ground fault receptacle is an outlet with a couple of buttons in the middle of it. I'll check around the area for any that were tripped.
Thank you and I'll let you know what I find.

Worked. I don't know how I missed that. Thanks for the help
