GFCI outlet keeps tripping
I have an outdoor GFCI outlet with self testing and it keeps tripping. I tried pressing the reset button several times but as soon as I pressed, it trips again. Any suggestion what might have gone wrong?
Thank you!

Disconnect it from the GFCI and see if the GFCI will reset. If it resets then the problem is on the wire.
Then disconnect the cable at the pole. If the GFCI resets then the problem is in the pole or fixture. If the GFCI won't reset then the problem is likely the cable.
Also with the cable disconnected at both ends you can test for resistance between the wires. There should be no reading on any combination of pairs tested. h-n, h-g,n-g.
