No breaker tripped
Hello, Recently I plugged a wet saw into a circuit without a GFI. The saw ran fine once. After turning it off and then trying to turn it on again it did not work. There were no sounds or sparks but all outlets in my garage no longer work. I tried flipping all breakers and main breaker as well. Still no juice. Any ideas on how to find/fix the issue will be appreciated.

Chandler, None of the OUTLETS have GFCI’s I looked in the two junction boxes to see if there was a loose wire but all looks good. Where else would there be a GFCI?

When was the house/garage built? Newer codes (not 2014) requires GFCI protection on concrete floors, crawl spaces, bathrooms, outdoor locations, kitchens, it seems possible you have a GFCI feeding a GFCI, which can be problematic.

Did you test it and reset it? It may be the one. Be sure to check everywhere. Many cases we have had people say they looked everywhere only to have them come back and say they found one hidden by "insert large object here".

Make sure when you reset the breakers that you push the breaker all the way to the off position and then back on.
Other possible GFCI receptacle locations: On the outside of the house behind a bush. By the back or front door outside. Do you have a washing machine plugged into a GFCI receptacle? Is there a GFCI receptacle at your breaker panel box?
