During a lightning storm, my lamp, which was plugged into an outlet on my garage wall, went out, and I heard the relay (breaker) on the outlet click. When I tried to reset the breaker by pushing in the red button, it just popped out again! When the breaker has tripped in the past, I have been able to reset it by pushing in the red "reset" button. There is also a black "test" button, just below the red button. Both buttons are sticking out of the outlet faceplate. All the other outlets and circuits are OK. But this outlet is dead, until I push in the red button, and the electricity only flows for a second, until the red button pops out again. It pops out with or without something plugged into the sockets.
How can I fix this thing? Is something fried inside it ?
ANy clues welcomed !!!
