This outlet in the garage gets fatigued from all the resetting and eventually needs to be replaced. They are not cheap either. I can do this replacement myself, but if you are not so inclined it can get really expensive if you have to hire an electrician to to it for you. I have had to do it 3 times now. My house was constructed in 2003.

You may have corrosion from outside wiring and leak. When it rains water tripped the GFCI? First place I would look it the front yard light? Or somebody could of dug in yard and frayed wiring out to front yard lamp? It’s not in conduit just ran under ground.

I agree with that analysis and solution. . . The issue presented should not be happening.
