Electrical outlets not working
Power went out in our dining room with 2 of the rooms 3 outlets. The house is +65 years old and the wiring may be that old. The circuit breaker box is not specifically marked for that room and those outlets. None of the circuit breakers had tripped - I reset all of the breakers anyway and that did nothing. I shut off the main breaker cutting all power and replaced the 2 non-working outlets. That did not resolve the lack of power. One of the non-working outlets only has two wires on it while the other non-working outlet has three wires.
I am unsure if the outlet that is working is on the same circuit run. Should I check it & replace it since I read another posting that said the bad connection may be in the last working outlet?
I do not have any GFCI outlets that I know of in the vicinity of the run. I also read in other postings about checking any nearby GFCI outlets. I have in the basement below one of the non-working outlets. I checked it - it has power and I tried the reset button on it. Is there something else I could missing such as with a GFCI outlet? Or is there something else I can check?
