My GFI will not reset. Is there another way to check it to see if it is the GFI or another problem? ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

Unplug everything is one way. If it still won't reset it's easy enough to replace. They do go bad. TT ------------- 2010 176 FJ Cruiser |

+1 If everything is disconnected and it won't reset then either it's bad (most likely) or you have a wiring fault. Easiest way to determine which is to disconnect from power and replace the GFCI receptacle. If it still wont stay on then it's the wiring, probably moisture in one of the GFCI protected receptacles. If you don't have easy access to a replacement GFCI receptacle for test purposes you could remove it and temporarily connect the downstream load receptacles to the line conductors coming in using wirenuts. Be sure to keep track of which pair of conductors are the line side and which the downstream load side., GFCI receptacles have line and load cinnection points. ------------- 1994 Chinook Concourse 1995 RV6A Experimental Aircraft 2015 Rpod 179 - sold |

Thanks. I have only 1 gfi that the other 3 outlets are on. All other 120v is working. I have had issues before with resetting but this time it will not. Buttons are hard to push. ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

It won't reset unless it has 120V, either. ------------- John '16 R-Pod 180 |
