GFCI test button?

I'm looking all around the cabin of my Springldale TT for the test button for the Ground Fault circuit. There are outlets with plain face plates and labels that indicate they are part of the circuit, but nowhere do I find one with the test/reset buttons. Any ideas? Thanks.

Yeah, found it, hiding in plain sight. However, it doesn't test correctly, so have to replace it. Thanks all. (Feeling stoopid)

I'm sure you know you have to have 120v (shore power) to test it.

Before you spend the money, and effort, what's it doing... or not doing?

Ground fault circuit/outlets are dead. Reset button has not popped out, and won't pop out when I depress the test button. It won't reset when I fully depress the reset button.

You have tested to make sure you DO have 120v to the trailer and that the circuit feeding the trailer is not a gfci circuit itself?

GFCI powering another GFCI do not play well together.

After. my last reply, I went back out and started testing from scratch. ALL outlets were dead, not just GFIC. Scratches head.... couldn't be my source is bad. Checked all breakers, reset all. Check the radio plugged into the same outlet as the cord to trailer. Cold. OK, coincidentally, I have a bad outlet. Plugged in elsewhere, everything is normal. Thanks for your insights, all. Just jumping the gun and firing up the forum before checking it all out myself.
