A neighbor came over today and said she tripped the circuit and when she re-set
it, the outlet did not work. I went over and checked the breaker on the meter
and it tested good, but the outlet did not work. I pulled the outlet and it
appeared good, I put the meter on the wires and nothing. I then replaced the
breaker figuring that may be it and nothing. There are six outlets on this
breaker and the one I pulled I believe is the first one in the line.
What am I missing?
If there's power on the wire where it leaves the breaker, and
not on the wire where it enters the outlet-box, then there's
a break somewhere between them. It's possible that the wire
itself is broken somewhere, but it's more likely that you're
wrong about this being the first outlet on the branch.
