Hi,
I need some suggestions on what to do next to locate this electrical problem. (Besides hire an electrician.) We started a bathroom reno and took out some outlets and switches. When I took out switches, no problem. I took out the outlet, reconnected wires in a junction box making doubly certain to connect all the correct wires to each other, but now I have three outlets in other rooms that do not work. The other three outlets are or should be in circuit with a GFI. The outlets that don't work are in two other bathrooms and one is outside. If I look on the breaker box, there are only two GFI's in the house and I can find both of them. Both of them work. Outlets connected to the other GFIs work. These non-working outlets are not tripping any breakers. My tester just says "open hot." HELP???!!!
Thanks,
Maria
