Have I blown a fuse, or what?
I was using a Skil saw and managed to saw through the extension cord,
too. After repairing the cord, I couldn't get power to the saw. The extension cord was plugged into a 'weatherproof' outlet on the outside wall of the house. I then tried a drill motor in that outlet and it was definitely 'dead'. 2 outlets inside the garage were also 'dead' but a 3rd one (a GFCI outlet) was working, so I finishing my sawing. I then went to the breaker box but couldn't find a 'tripped' breaker so, one by one, I turned each breaker off and on but still had no power to my 'dead' outlets. If someone has a suggestion as to what I might have screwed up here, I would really appreciate it. TIA. Lewis. ***** |

Lewis. ***** The outside outlet was likely fed from a GFCI outlet elsewhere in the house, which was also feeding the other dead outlets. Look in bathrooms, garage, basement and other outside outlet locations for the offending GFCI outlet and reset it. If there are none, I would suspect that the GFCI in the garage is defective |

sounds like you got another GFCI popped somewhere.
