I have a dead outlet, but no breakers are tripped. Is there a way to trace

I have a similar problem, only GFI outlets are involved.
Most of the bathrooms and kitchen outlets and a few others nearby but not
in the bathroom or kitchen are totally dead.

All the GFI buttons are in the reset mode.
No fuse is tripped.

Can I use the fox and hound setup to find the problem with my wires?


I don't see why not but you want to make sure
the circuit is dead first.
