I had a late night and as such did not have a chance to work on the outlets yesterday. I will report back asap. I did use the quick stab-in connectors. If the voltage checks out I will move them to the lugs and see if that helps.

I will break out the multimeter when i get home. Assuming that I do have power in both places (the plug was working just before I put the faceplate on the one downstream) what makes a brand new GFI stop working? My primary concern is that there is damage somewhere to the line. Remember that...

I thought the same immediately after I had everything together and tested them both with a single nightlight that works in the downstream, but does not light in the GFI. = / I do have an analog multimeter though.
