Wiring More Than One GFI Bathroom Outlet
Question: How do I wire a GFI outlets in two separate washrooms but on the same circuit when one GFI has four wires and the second only has two?
I tried the load and the line on the four wire outlet and the line on the two wire outlet but when I turn the power back on I do not get any power what so ever in the bathrooms.
