Great stuff! The GFI outlet was tripped but wouldn't reset. I removed the outlet and tied the wires together. All good now (except we have no GFI protection). I'll replace the outlet when we get back to civilization.
Thanks so much!
They won't reset if the fault continues. Since this occurred with rain there is a good chance a plug or something has moisture.
So if you later replace the GFCI and everything works the GFCI is bad - right? Maybe just the moisture dried up and you haven't solved the root problem.
X2, I am glad that you found your problem and posted it. I personally would put the GFCI back in and would be looking for moisture or other problems. The GFCI are put there for your protection. JMO
