Why won t the power come on in the bedrooms?
I worked on a house where the electrical sockets had no ground wires attached, so I connected ground wires to all those sockets. So I turned the power on at the electrical panel and the power in the bedrooms will not come on. No, circuit breakers are tripped. What could be the problem? Thanks for your help 😊

Definitely a loose connection in the circuit. Start with the device nearest to the power panel that is dead and inspect it and make the needed repairs. Fixing it is easy, finding it is more difficult.

Obvously a loose connection somewhere, what country are you from? as I believe north Americn domestic house wiring has multiple radial circuits fed by miniture circuit breakers for supply to 110 volt sockets, unlike UK which has 240 volt ring main circuit's to sockets, with separate ring mains for bedrooms remainder of downstairs areas and kitchen ring main.
So check the tightness of connections to all the bedroom sockets and in the distributton board. Did you install new sockets in the bedrooms to accommodate the new ground cable connections?
