Fleetwood 02 Discovery Patio Plug problem
I am having a problem with my 2 patio plugs. They are the only outlets not working off of shore power. No breakers are blow. I it is possible the overload protectors kick in, but I dont know where they are located. Any help would be great.

If they are 120VAC outdoor outlets somewhere back in the wiring there is a GFCI inline to protect the outdoor outlet if I had to take a guess. Let the search begin .  ......

Agree. Look for the GFCI outlet to reset.

I have one GFCI in the bathroom and one along the living room floor. Each controls a bank of outside/basement outlets.

Thanks for the help, but to no avail. No GFI's tripped.

Is the outside out let a GFCI? If not there is for sure one between the breaker panel and that outlet outside. Go to lowes or home depot and pick up a tic tracer, they are not expensive and it beeps when A/C voltage is present. They are a handy tool for troubleshooting outlets. You are going to have to follow the wiring out of that outlet back and see where its power source is.

The elec tracer is a great and inexpensive tool. Every tool box. Should have one! I have had GFI fail and seem to reset ok. The above mentioned will most likely solve the issue by alerting you to the dead circuit.

You can find many other 02 Discovery owners HERE
That may have had the same problem and know the fix.
For that and many more.
