I have a partially-dead GFI circuit:

This circuit powers two electrical outlet in the back bedrom and a light
in a bathroom, as well as a wall outlet in that bathroom which has a GFI
receptacle. I needed to move that receptacle, so I uncouple the wiring,
ran it *to the new location, then re-connected the receptacle. In the
process two of the wires shorted together briefly, but did not trip the
breaker.

But the *wall sockets in that bedroom no longer have power.

Is there some peculiarity about GFI that would explain that?

Help us understand this situation:

You have an existing circuit with wires that were running through a
wall. You disconnected the wires from the GFCI, pulled them out of the
wall, fished them to the new location and reconnected them to the
GFCI...while they were live?
