Electric Outlet Problem

[swickme1]

2017 Cougar 333MKS. Only outlets working are on the kitchen island and in the bathroom. Tried all day to figure this out. Contacted dealer - no help. Watched various utube videos. So far 1) disconnected and reconnected to RV park electric. 2) Reset all breakers. 3) Replaced GFCI in bathroom. Nothing has worked so far. It may be coincidental but these plugs stopped working yesterday when installing new TV in bedroom. Does anyone know if there is a 2nd GFCI hidden somewhere? Any suggestions welcome.

It’s probably a second GFCI. I think the outlet in the basement, next to the TV cable connector is a GFCI. Also check the outlets near the kitchen sink.

Thanks Mark. No GFCI in kitchen nor is the one next to the TV cable. That's why we're so confused.

If it happened after installing a TV in the bedroom, you might try unplugging that TV, resetting the "known GFCI" and see if you have power to the rest of the outlets. You may have a short or a bad TV plug/receptical that is causing the GFCI to keep tripping as soon as you reset it. Otherwise, keep looking, there's another GFCI "somewhere".....

Does the GFCI really reset? If you push the TEST button, does it pop the RESET button out? Try resetting it with power off (unplug from shore power or turn the main breaker off), and then reset. Does it hold?
unplug all our 110v appliances and plug back into shore power. Does it still hold? Start plugging appliances in, one at a time and see when it pops.
I had an outlet go bad once that continually popped the GFCI - fortunately for me it was the second one I pulled out of the wall...

GFI plugs will NOT reset unless AC voltage is present at the feed side of the GFI plug.

Did you put any "new" fasteners in when installing new tv? or same mount just new tv?

When you checked the breakers, did you toggle them off and back on? They don’t always just look tripped.

I assume you are a 50amp system. Therefore it’s possible to lose power to one of the two legs. Check the breakers at the post and in your breaker box.

Last, a meter will help you track it down.

Did you look in the basement? I think there is a second GFI there.

I especially liked the basement location idea. All our fiver's have had one in the basement.
