I turned off ALL circuit breakers in the panel.

I then pulled out the duplex receptacle from the electrical box in my garage and removed the wires.

I then attached the black, white and ground wires to a new duplex receptacle with two USB ports.

I was shocked by another white electrical wire in the box. Why wasn't that circuit controlled by a circuit breaker in the panel? Should the white wire have power?

Not to criticize but testing the wires should have been done before work, be
that is at may there is definitely a problem probably caused by the garage
swap. Also the overstuffed box points to this.
