Christmas decoration lights were plugged into outlet while sprinklers were running. Came to find out lights were out, outlet had no power, and all other outdoor outlets around the house lost power. Probably related to sprinkles. None of outdoor outlets have those test/rest buttons but all are enclosed in special protective covers. No other outlets in the house lost power. No breakers were tripped on the panel. Tried resetting them all anyway, to no avail. Checked exterior, attic and garage for any additional breaker panels - nothing. What is my next step in identifying the problem? Thanks!

4Is there an outlet inside the house that has TEST and RESET buttons on it?– ThreePhaseEelCommented Dec 13, 2019 at 0:11

2Keep looking -- it could be anywhere within the house, really.– ThreePhaseEelCommented Dec 13, 2019 at 0:18

1Good advice to keep looking - I’ve almost given up! Found it hidden under some garage shelf, put by previous owners (only had this house for a few months). Thanks all! How do I close the question?– Oleg YepifantsevCommented Dec 13, 2019 at 1:17

4@OlegYepifantsev You don't need to close it. However, you can self-answer your question, and that generally tells others that there's no need to answer. Also, you can get reputation points, which helps you participate later (assuming you tie your account to an email instead of a perishable cookie).– Harper - Reinstate MonicaCommented Dec 13, 2019 at 5:18
