    Breaker is on but electrical outlets lights are not working.
    This is not a 100% solution for your issue but I've had many service request as a Residential Electrician where solution was just what I tried to explain in this video!

    Sequence. First check outlet for power. Second, check breakers for tripped one. Third, reset any gfci's in the house as one may be feeding regular outlets and they aren't labeled as they should be. After that then you check nearby outlets to locate any other's that aren't working. You never start at the end of a circuit, you start in the middle. Meaning you need to locate the last hot plug before power is lost. Then you know the issue is in the dead receptacle or in the last hot one. Now you're ready to find the problem.

      I followed everything just fine maybe don't work on your own eletric then. It might be safer to have someone come do it.

    You should have explained what to do if the voltage tester says there's no power, but you haven't turned the power off yet at the breaker box

    I found my exterior Gfci wasn't working, I replaced for weather Proof Gfci, and It worked a little bit, not it's doing again, not power on that circuit, leaving my ac outlet with not power, and circuit braker not tripped

    • @remoteelectrician

      make sure it's not protected by another gfci that is installed inside. look behind that same wall and look for another gfci. test wires with voltmeter and see what voltage you have, also make sure it's not switched outlet.

      @@remoteelectrician thank you for your answer. I removed all the outlets to check any of then burned out, but all of them were OK. on that circuit there's only that GFCI, I have a feeling there's something wrong with circuit braker in the panel, I think it's time to get licensed electrician. 😔 I'm very frustrated.

    I had one dead outlet several years ago, in my outlaws house. It was a split outlet with ganged fuses. One of the fuses was a dud.

      loose wiring in that circuit you worked on. hire someone and get it done professionally sounds like it did poor job with those updates.

    My emotional support human plugged his iron into an outlet in the kitchen. The lights stopped working and also two outlets. I went through these steps, no breaker tripped, i took out the outlets and there is like a shit load of plaster all over them. I feel dumb, the wires are connected and I am not seeing anything with the wires themselves except for the ungodly amount of plaster. Should i throw in the towel and have someone come out?

      if outlet wires have power it could be loose wiring or tripped gfci outlet

      2 prong is just old outlet without ground wire.

      This I know. But your testing device has 3 prongs…so what would one do when they only have 2 prongs…do they make a testing device for 2 prong outlets?
