Have a 2000, 40' Sedan bridge.
My GFI on port side head would not reset, replaced it and still not working. Lost on what to try next. Worked when I put her up for the winter.
Any suggestion would be helpful.

GFCi will not reset if they do not have power to them so double check with a volt meter to see if you have 110v power to the back of the outlet.
 
That would be first. If you do have power, see if you have anything plugged into the entire circuit. If so, disconnect and try to reset. If it won't reset with no load, time to replace the GFI receptacle. I always recommend replacing with a 20 amp version that is more robust.
 
Are there any other GFI's on the circuit. If you have another GFI inline with the one that won't reset it's probably also tripped and not allowing power to get to the second one. There is one behind my fridge on the same circuit as the one in the head. If the one behind my fridge trips I can't get the one in my head to reset.
 
Funny you mentioned that because I put the hose in and got nothing than noticed the GFI was tripped.
Any ides would be great!

Is the breaker for the outlets turned on in the panel?
 
I checked that several time hoping that would be it. I am hoping to get out there tonight with a tester to make sure I am getting power into and to where.
 
Bread out the multimeter, and start to diagnose. The 400, has a single GFCI for each circuit. Start at the source (breaker ) and work out. You might have a loose outlet connection
