Electrical Socket Issues
So I have seen many discussions concerning bad sockets which are part of a GFI string. I wanted to make sure I understood the outcome correctly as I am missing a few threads.
In my case, the only GFI I have is in the main bathroom which appears to be working using the test/reset mechanisms. I used to have a GFI in the second bathroom but because of a internal fault somewhere that circuit was disconnected. I had another working circuit near by so I tapped into that one and put a regular socket in it's place. The socket I tapped into also was powering a TV. After a couple of months, both the TV and the bathroom wall socket stopped working....ugh.
There is also a socket on the outside wall of the camper in the water protected enclosure. This socket is also dead and it is noted as a GFI protected circuit which I am thinking is chained off of the main bathrooom GFI. If I read correctly, I should remove the wires from the outside socket and either use a regular socket or, wire tap the powers together and the returns together and see if the sockets ( TV and 2nd bathroom ), power up ?
