    Electrical help
    I have an outlet in my garage that quit working, I checked the breaker box and I am getting juice from all the fuses just not at that outlet, there are two more outside that are not working also, none of which are GFI outlets, I reset all the breakers and the GFI outlets in the house and still no luck, any suggestions?

    Look a bit more, I bet there is another GFI somewhere particularly since other outside outlets are not working. Do you have any disconnects in your meter box?

    I don't think so I have gone over everything else in the house, the only thing I can think of is that its daisy chaned through another outlet, I just don't know where that would be since this outlet is so close to the fuse box itself

    It could be a tripped breaker. Find the breaker for that circuit, push it full off and then back again.

    Remove outlet from box and see if wires are under the screws. If wired into the speedy push holes on back of outlet , move to the screws.

    While you have wires exposed, check to see if you have power in wires.

    Get back to us to let us know if you need more help.
