To reset a GFCI you need to first correct any ground faults in the circuit - or some other other fault in the equipment and/or its flexible cord and/or its plug - being protected by the GFCI, which is causing an imbalance in the currents flowing in the hot and neutral wires. Ground faults are usually caused by wet electrical equipment. Then you need to press the RESET button on the GFCI.
Yes, you can remove the outlet or fixture from the circuit to isolate the issue with the GFCI. Make sure to turn off the power to the circuit before removing the outlet or fixture. Once it's disconnected, attempt to reset the GFCI to see if it resolves the issue.
If the GFCI receptacle fails to reset after pushing the RESET and TEST buttons, there may be a ground fault issue, a faulty GFCI receptacle, or wiring problems. To troubleshoot the problem, you can try disconnecting any devices connected to the receptacle, then attempt to reset it again. If it still won't reset, it's best to call a qualified electrician to inspect and resolve the issue.
It seems there could be some faulty wiring in place. Why not talk to an expert? Give Hawkeye Manufacturing Inc. a call or visit us online at http://www.hawkeyemfg.com

Hot Springs National Park has 47 hot springs and geysers.
Any electrical meter which measures volts or a standard plug tester. (the ones which plug into the receptacle and light up indicator lights) As long as the receptacle measures 110-120V between the hot and neutral, and measures 110-120V between the hot and ground, then it is wired correctly and supplying correct voltage with ground reference. To determine if the GFCI is "tripping" or opening the circuit when it should, simply press the test button. If it doesn't trip, (or reset correctly with the reset button) replace the device.
