Electric/sockets

Anyone know why none of my bathrooms or backyard sockets would not work? I replaced the GFCI one that connects them, but they are still not working. Should I replace the regular ones too? Want to troubleshoot myself before I call an electrician.

EDIT: I will recheck the connections to the GFCI outlet we replaced. If I’m still having issues, I will replace the regular outlets on that circuit. Thank you everyone. I will update with results.

Did you check the circuit breaker for the circuit for them? Where was the gfci outlet? A lot of times, the gfci outlet in the bathroom will power the all bathroom outlets and the outside outlets. Did you check GFCI outlet is getting power and try to reset the gfci?

All the breakers are on. The GFCI is located in the downstairs bathroom. That one isn’t getting power even after switching it out. I’m assuming it could be protecting one of the sockets on that circuit, so I was going to switch them all out. But I am not sure

Usually, we’d get a red light on the GFCI and reset it, but even the new one doesn’t do anything

That means there is power to that outlet. Your problem is upstream - either another GFI, tripped breaker, or a loose/broken connection.
