Why would an outlet have two black wires two white wires one red wire and a ground?
The normal colors of a residential outlet are black(hot), white(nuetral), and bare/green(ground). It is common to 'feed thru' an outlet, in other words to bring the power in on one trio of wires tied to the outlet and send it out on another trio of wires also tied to the outlet. If however one white wire is not connected the power will not feed thru properly and whatever outlets are downstream will not work. It is possible to burn up whatever equipment is plugged into the downstream outlets, espiecaly if it is electronic ie; omputers, video equipment etc... Hope this helps. Remember turn off power before working all electrical outlets.
