It all started in the basement, went to plug in my StarLink and had no power at the outlet. Checked the GFCI in the lavatory. My night night didn’t work. Pressed the “test” button and the “reset” button popped out. Pressed it in and still no power. Checked the 2 outlets in the kitchen and they both work. Checked the outlet at the dinette and the passenger seat, both worked. Checked the breakers and none were tripped. Reset them all anyway. Still no power in the lavatory or basement.
Any help/ideas would be appreciated.

Did any breakers feel funny, like too easy to switch on? If so force that one hard to off then reset. If a breaker trips you have to force it to off before it will reset internally.

Next, since when you pressed the test button on the GFCI and the reset button popped out there may be power there. What I recommend people do with a GFCI is use a pencil with the eraser end and give those buttons a good firm push. If the GFCI will not reset the next step is to check it for power at the screws on the back. Examine the back of the GFCI and look for the LOAD and the LINE. Do not mix up the wires attached to these terminals.

Check for power on the LINE side: No>check upstream for an open in a receptacle or at the breaker.
: YES> disconnect LOAD side wires
Does GFCI now reset?: Yes>there is a ground fault downstream
No>replace GFCI

Be sure to kill power between each step that involves working on the wires. Again, be very careful not to mix up the LINE and LOAD wires, they are not interchangeable.
