Re: Two outside outlets not working, breaker not tripped...

It sounds like the two troubled outlets are GFCI outlets. Typically, only one GFCI outlet is needed *IF* the outlets are chained together on the same circuit breaker (but it is OK for each to be GFCI).

First thing I would check is to see if there is another outlet on this circuit. My guess is that it is also a GFCI, and is tripped.

I had this happen to me a long time ago, where the outlet in my mother's master bath had no power. Found it was chained to the GFCI outlet inside her garage.

The one under the porch took some forcing to reset but it works now, but the one that is wet will not reset/test. I think a trip to Aubuchon is in order to replace it.

I am thinking that the notch taken out of the bottom of the cover to fit a cir through night have got some splash back. I have caulked it before but I am wondering if I missed a spot.
