GFI Question:
OK, I know there are two GFIs on the STB side. Only one on the port side, correct?
I cannot reset the port GFI (in the port head cabinet). No moisture anywhere so I decided it had to be the GFI as I show power going to it. Replaced the GFI and the new one will not reset. Any idea where the fault could be? The logical place would be the outlet under the cockpit sink, but it seems dry as a bone.
 
If a gfci does not have power it will not reset. Have you checked to make sure it actually has power and Imis wired correctly?
 
Yes it has power going to it and I'm fairly certain it is wired correctly. The new GFI has a light indicator and the light is green.
 
Fixed the new GFCI. It was just wired up backwards. The original GFI did fail. The new one had a different wiring pattern.
 
Those are the most frustrating ones. Wiring will sometimes get you for sure. The calling switches sometimes get me. Glad you got it worked out!
