    There is a loose/broken connection someplace. Can be at any of the outlet boxes, may be in a junction box down under the home.

    Usually at the last working receptacle loose connections are found.

    If you do not have the knowledge or tools to work on wiring, you will need to call in an electrician to locate and repair the problem.

    That is what I am afraid of... I am on a limited income... my landlord bought all the new outlets if I did the work and took off my rent... ty for the advice I appreciate it!

    Is this a double-wide home?
