Odd for the light to be on and no power. Have you checked voltage?
Did you try the coffee pot in the microwave outlet?
There are, for this discussion, two different types of GFCI outlets.
The ones at the church Parish I used to belong to when the light is on power is on to the outlet.. These are kind of rare I do not see many of them.
The one in my RV, the ones at most parks I visit, the ones I had in my house, all work differently.. When the light is on it indicates TRIPPED and no power is passed.
I'm thinking yours is like the far more common ones where the light means I'm tripped"
To find out.
Plug a known good night light into the GFCI outlet, no light means I'm right.
NOw... A common cause of instant trip
Water gets in the patio outlet... and CLICK of darkness ensues
(The click of darkness is either a tripped breaker or GFCI)
