Any electricians in the house? I have a GFI outlet that leads to 3 other outlets. The GFI is operating properly and has full current. The 3 outlets that it leads to have current but very little. Not enough to run anything.

I tried replacing the GFI and the other outlets but the same result. Any ideas anyone?

Post the manufacturer and model number of the GFI. I'll check it out and draw up schematic for you. Have a good one.

When you say current, you mean voltage? Did you check the voltage with a volt meter and are the other recepticles GFI's?

I figured it out. I just used a current tester, I didn't use a voltage meter. It was an open neutral.

One of the outlets on the circuit had a loose neutral.

Thanks
