We just moved into a 21yr old home. I replaced the receptacles in the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms up stairs. After replacing them, all the ones in bedroom 2 work fine. But, only one is working in bedroom 3.
As you walk into the room, to your left is the light switch and receptacle bow and to the side of that. That one is the only one that works. I have figured out that the wiring runs counter clockwise in this room. I did a continuity test with a volt meter from the first receptacle (that is working) to the next. I have discovered that I am not getting current through the black (hot) wire.
What I do not understand is how changing just the receptacles would cause a break. I have look, pulled, pushed and twisted the black wire in each receptacle box and can not find any breaks. All of the receptacles in rooms 2 and 3 are on one breaker. The breaker works and has never tripped. I have climbed up into attic and looked at wire and it looks fine, no signs of breaks or tears.
Any help of what could have happened and how to fix!!
