HELP!!! Electrical Issue

Hi All! I placed this in the 5vr section hoping to get a more rapid response. I have a 2012 Raptor...(50 amp) and we are scheduled to depart in the morning for a two week journey. Brought it to the house to do the normal checks and discovered I have a electrical issue with the AC receptacles. They work in the garage area, but not in any other location. I just wanted to run the refer overnight for tomorrows shove-off.

There is 120v at the power distro box coming in. The TV's power up, microwave powers up, but no other receptacles will work. What can this be? I have check all of the wire connections...weird

I would appreciate your assistance...

Thanks,
Steve

I think we have all been bit by overlooking a GFI at one time or another. After a few times I think I now remember to check them. (-:

That is good news! Glad it was the simple fix vs (shudder) anything else.

Put a star sticker on your forehead.

I learned early which GFI is hooked to what. Took me a while.
