The cartridge fuses could be a source of the problem .I assume you have removed the plug fuses to look for burn marks at the contacts.

Also you mentioned lightning and power surge. Some years ago a client kept calling during rain storms or just after with circuit breakers going off or loss of power in different areas in the house. This was tough one because the breaker box was maxed out big time. But, after the third call ,they didn,t know who else to call so the said,I got curious about the power feed from the poll. I got out my binoculars and fallowed the line from the poll to the house--, and where the line passed through a tree in an area where lightning struck and took out a branch, there was insulation burned off. That was the cause of the problems. The power company came out and fixed that and took out some more branch's as well,at no charge ! It's just a thought !



electrical testers ,very basic ,tells you there is or isn't power.





I've used the wiggie for years. That's the black one at the top. Red to power ,black to neutral- read instructional before you go into it.
