Also, if you add a GFCI in series with another GFCI BOTH may trip, so IMHO, test first otherwise you may need the electrician to find the 'other' GFCI.
Agreed. Of the 4 outlets in my garage, 2 are actual GFI outlets (with the reset button) and the other two have circuit breakers in the electrical panel...
