I have one GFCI tripped and can't locate it. It is not the one in the bathroom. Anyone able to point to where the other one is? Thanks in advance.
 
Did you check the kitchen? The one in the power panel?
A bit more description of what you're experiencing might help.
 
Kitchen & bathroom are the two most likeliest. Sometimes in a basement compartment or under a weatherproof cover outside.

How do you know it is the GFCI tripped if you can't find it?

Sometimes using a high current device (space heater/fryer/crock pot) can melt the wires in the back of a daisy chained outlet.

Some units have GFCI breakers in the power distribution box.

You gave us little to go on.
 
I gave you exactly what I asked for. I am not looking for guesses. I am looking for that one dude that has a Cardinal that can say look right there. Do you have a Cardinal?
 
Thanks snowbird, I just have to get in there and find it. The GFCI is what I am looking for.
 
We have a '17 Cardinal 3250RL. There is a GFCI in the kitchen under the Microwave, to the left. In our case, it's hard to see the reset button because the outlet and button are brown in color. Your floor plan may be a bit different, but most likely similar in location.

The other GFCI reset is in the bathroom.
There is a GFCI protected outlet in the basement of our model, but the GFCI for that circuit is in the bathroom.

wooooooo nice,


just how many outlets are there in a 19 cardinal 5th wheel of unknown model number

go to each outlet and look .... when you find a outlet with a reset button try it...
use a sticky note to highlight a reset it when you find it.

any outlet that has a reset ... I would hope they left it in a open / plain view location
---------------------------------------------------------------------
while doing your exploring.... take a pen and paper and take notes
have some one turn off breakers and resets and make a list of each outlet ... which breaker uses and if it is on a GFCI

be prepared.... will help you fix things quicker in the future ....
especially in the middle of the night when your oxygen generator stops working

also make sure the breaker hasn't tripped...
resets won't work if the breaker is tripped or faulty
get a no contact tester or a multimeter
 
GFCI issue found

So to update, I was starting to see elephants trying to wrap my brain around this problem. finally pulled bathroom GFCI out of line and wired through to find that it was the GFCI that was faulty. Was not showing a light, would not reset.
New GFCI in place and problem gone. I wanted to give the update since I asked a question.
