You can purchase a non-contact voltage tester @ HF for $7 and it
works great.

Im not sure if this will work, but plug in the cord and run the
tester along starting from the outlet. I would believe it it will
detect power until it hits the bad spot then stop. Someone with
better electrical experience will correct me if I'm wrong.

Since this is usenet, someone will probably correct you even if you're
right.

I think you're wrong about that Smitty.
