Repair Question
From: (harry manka)
Update....
1. There are no GFCI receptacles anywhere in the house. No GFCI
breakers either. One hair blower has test/reset buttons.
2. There are 18 branch circuits. 14 were identified/labeled by me
before (but not the ones in garage and bathrooms).
3. The garage outlet and 3 bathroom outlets are not working. My guess
is that they are on the same branch.
Now....I checked all 18 breakers and they all work. but none of the
outlets in the garage and bath have electricity coming to them. I even
checked the hot wires coming to them. I did not see any signs of
burnout. Does this mean that the cable from the breaker to the first
outlet has open/is burnt?
I can get electrician to fix this if I have to, but I like the
challenge and the knowledge I end up getting by doing myself.

I have a feeling, especially if your home was built AFTER 1970-ish, you HAD a
GFCI outlet as the first outlet in that garage/bathroom circuit.
Reason being, there would be no reason to put a garage outlet and ONLY bathroom
outlets on one single circuit. Also check any outdoor outlet the GFCI might be
there although that would be really stupid.
