Remember to always confirm power is off before pulling outlets out, then turn power on to test for current. If you don't have a no contact tester, go buy one first.

This is all good advice, one question for you though, are all of your outside plugs GFCI plugs or regular house ones?
Sometimes electricians will install a GFCI dead front in the basement next to the panel. The dead front looks exactly like a gfci plug except it doesn't have any plugs.
