    No Power
    Power out in three bathrooms and hallway. I used my Circuit Tester, plug in, and it shows Hot/Ground Reversed on all of the effected outlets. Switches to the lights and exhaust fans do not come on either. I have pulled the switches and outlets out from the wall boxes and all of them look fine. They all have power to them.
    Any advise will be helpful.
    Thanks in advance.

    Go to the breaker box and turn the breakers for those circuits all the way to off and back on. Hit the reset buttons on any GFCI outlets. Please post back with the results.

    Thanks Labman,

    The Breaker box was the first place that I went to. I can turn the breaker off for the Bathrooms which are effected( all on one breaker). Turn the breaker off, shuts all power off. Turn the breaker back on, still no lights or fans working, but I do have current running to switches and outlets, but outlets read HOT/Ground Reversed. GFCI are testing HOT/Ground Reversed also.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Hey Labman,

    Problem solved. Just wanted to say thanks for your feed back. I started pulling switches from the wall boxes and found one of light switches had a loose neutral wire on the back side quick connect. I tightened all connection and turned the breaker back on. POWER BACK to all bathrooms. One break in the line effected the rest.
