<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 101208, member: 59"]This must be a bad day for Christmas lights. I went out to wrap a 100 bulb string of tiny lights around the garland that is hung off my front porch railing. Now, being the "check first" person that I am, I plugged the lights into the extension cord, then plugged the cord into the outside receptacle. Nada. Unplugged and took the lights (still attached to the ext. cord) inside to the kitchen - they all light up. Back out to the porch. The GFI button has popped out and won't reseat. Ok. Down to the basement with a flashlight. Sure enough that circuit breaker has popped. Push left and back to the right - it stays engaged. Back up to the porch. GFI still won't reseat. Grrrrrrrrrr. At this time of the day I am not calling an electrician. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you got your lights sorted out, Greg.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
