Your bathroom outlets might be connected to a GFCI Outlet. The Ground Fault Circuit Intercept outlet prevents you from electrocuting yourself in the odd chance that you drop an electrical appliance into the water of the bath tub while you're in it.

Look around and see if there's one outlet with 2 buttons on it labeled Test and Reset and if you find one hit the Reset button and see if the other outlets start working.

My circuit breaker keeps popping I have replace the 2-prong outlet with a 4-outlets and why is it still popping?

A breaker trips when there is too much current. If you unplug everything on the circuit and the breaker still trips then you have a wiring problem or a bad breaker. From your description it is not possible to be certain if the problem started when you installed new outlet or previously. You have to describe your problem in better detail to get a good answer. When you have a circuit that trips the corresponding breaker, you need to go through each outlet on the circuit and rule it out as the problem. This can be done by pulling each outlet, from the wall and systematically remove wires from outlets while power is off and determining when problem goes away.


Parking lights will not turn off is it a relay or circuit breaker?

It is a relay or switch problem. A circuit breaker or fuse won't keep a light on.


Can you use 70amp breaker for 40amp device?

The purpose of a circuit breaker in a panel is to protect the wiring and devices like switches, outlets and other devices that are part of that circuit. It isn't unusual to plug in an appliance into a circuit whose amperage rating is less than the breaker protection. If such an appliance doesn't have its own over-current protection it may well "fry" in an over current situation. However, if your 40 Amp device is directly connect to the 70 A circuit and has no over-current protection on its own you are risking a serious problem. If your 40 A device is on this dedicated circuit you should protect it with a properly sized breaker.


Where is the circuit breaker located on a 1967 Cadillac Fleetwood?

There is only one circuit breaker to my knowledge and it is for the power windows. I have a 1968 Fleetwood and it is very similar. What exactly is the problem?


What would cause circuit breaker to trip in new box from old box?

A circuit breaker will trip if it is faulty or if the connected circuit has a short circuit or a connected device is trying to draw more current than the breaker rating. If you disconnect the output wire from the breaker and it still trips, it is a faulty breaker. If the breaker is tripping immediately when it is turned on then start disconnecting elements of the circuit to see what might be causing the problem. If everything was working and now isn't, it is likely that the wire from the breaker is nicked where it exits the box and is shorting to the feedthru connector.

If there are a series of outlets and switches that won't operate in one particular area of your home and there are no breaker switches thrown in the breaker box what else could be causing this problem?

When several outlets are on the same circuit the current comes first from the breaker panel to one outlet where it is connected to a duplex receptacle and/or switch or light, then to the NEXT outlet, light or switch. If a connection was not made properly at any point along the way it can corrode or somehow loose connection back to the breaker panel. If that happens, every outlet DOWNSTREAM will not be working properly. If you cannot track down the problem yourself, you will need to hire an electrician.

Bedroom breaker keeps tripping out what can I do to correct this?

You need to identify specifically what is causing the breaker to trip. It could just be that you have to many devices or appliances on the circuit; or it could be a problem with the wiring, switches or outlets. Some steps to take. 1.) Unplug everything from the circuit. If it doesn't trip anymore you had too much plugged in. Identify what can be switched to another circuit. 2.) What device or appliance causes the problem? It is most likely something like a heater or something with a motor; or perhaps too many higher wattage light bulbs. 3.) If the breaker always trips when it rains, you may have a water moisture problem? 4.) If the breaker trips when nothing is connected it may be the breaker or a short in an outlet or switch.

How many outlets can you have on one circuit?

Depends on what the outlets are controlling, size of the wire, and size of the breaker.


Why does the bottom part of an outlet not work on almost all outlets in an apartment?

Shut the breaker off that feeds the circuit. Inspect the duplex receptacle on the (hot) brass side connections. If the tie bar is missing from the top to the bottom then that is the problem. If there is a wire on each of the brass screws and the tie bar is missing then the problem is the feed (breaker) to that section of the duplex receptacle is shut off.
