Question: Why aren’t the exterior outlets working?
Answer: The exterior outlets may have been deactivated due to the ground fault interrupter (G.F.I.) being tripped. This could either be on the electrical panel or at the rear exterior outlet. To restore power, first switch the breaker all the way off, then turn it back on. Next, press the reset button on the G.F.I. outlet to reactivate it. This should restore functionality to the exterior outlets.
