orange indicator light is on for my outdoor GFI receptacle
I don’t see a reason for a down vote.
Orange? I don’t think I have seen but if the outside GFCI is not WR or weather rated moisture may have gotten to the electronics affecting the power to the led or be the cause of the trip.
Moisture in another receptacle that is fed by that one could also cause the trip/ failure to reset problem.
I have found many boxes outside with water in them not enough conductance to trip a breaker but in some cases enough rust and dirt in the water to trip the GFCI.
In-use or heavy duty covers on receptacles in wet locations help prevent this problem when combined with WR rated GFCI circuitry (receptacles). The electronics in WR GFCI’s are coated so moisture won’t affect them but if some current is going to ground through water at the terminals that can cause the problem.
