I cannot find any GFCI outlets in villa with a test and reset buttons. I only have two outlets in garage and both work and do not have test buttons either.
3 questions: If the light bulb is now blown (it would usually light slowly and slowly get brighter as a norm), would that trip the circuit and also affect the fan, and the daisy chained outlets by the sinks?
Or, is the problem with the circuit breaker and how can I tell that?
Where do I get one of those bulbs that lights slowly, to full bright?
Also wondering where that outlet would be with the 2 reset/test buttons.
What a bummer to solve! Thanks for ideas.

Do the GFI outlets work when you plug something into them? Is there a GFI outlet in the master bathroom? Does it test properly when you press the test & Reset buttons? Have you looked at your outside outlets to see if any of the GFI outlets are tripped? Have you tried to replace the bulb with a new and tested bulb? Try a standard bulb. Is there a dimmer switch controlling the bulb that comes on slowly? Could be the dimmer switch. If the simple things do not make a difference, time to call an electrician.
