Can I move a GFCI receptacle?
The GFCI receptacle with the reset button in my TT is buried behind the television in the cabinet. Is there any problem with swapping it with one of the more accessible GFCI receptacle?

What I think I have learned from this is:
1. The outlet with the reset button is the only true GFCI outlet, the others are regular outlets that are protected by the true GFCI.
2. The wiring should be from breaker to #1, the GFCI outlet, then to #2, #3,and #4.
3. If I swap #1 with say #3 then #1 and #2 will not be protected because they are not downstream of the GFCI outlet. #3 will be protected because it is the GFCI and #4 will be protected because it is downstream of the GFCI.
I am sure that if any of this is wrong you guys will tell me and get me even more confused.
OK jrnymn7 I most definitely will be sure power is off. While in the service I worked with a system that used 400 volts DC. After one hit from that anyone will always check and recheck!
