The other day I was testing out a tire pump (one of those small 12v pumps you can buy at the local store) in a free outlet in my kitchen and I heard a pop when I switched it on. Now the two outlets on that wall do not work. The outlets on the remaining three work just fine.
I checked the control box and none of the breakers were tripped. Just to be on the safe side I reset them anyway... with no luck.
I pulled one of the outlets off and it seems to be the kind you stick in from the back, not the screw in with pigtails kind.
There was no juice flowing in any of the wires when I used my voltage tester.
Is this as simple as replacing the bad outlets or is there rewiring that's going to need to happen?
Thanks in advance for all who reply.
