Outlets have power, lights work, won't run tools
Hello all this is my first time here.
My problem is in my detached garage that has its own elec service separate from the house (I get 2 bills). 100 amp service in the garage and 200 amp in the house.
I tried to install a garage door opener and the outlets in my garage won't run it, the motor does click and light bulb flickers. When I run an extension cord from my house to the opener it works perfectly. I tried 2 different circuits in the garage, both same result. Again, the outlets have power and lights work.
Im no electrician but I removed breaker box cover and everything looks secure I didn't poke around at all
