Enclosed, Outdoor GFCI outlet question

[bryank930]

Disclaimer: I'm not an electrician.

I have a GFCI outlet on the side of my garage in a box similar to this. The GFCI has a green LED that is ON, but I get no power to anything plugged into it. When I press test or reset, it doesn't click. All other outlets inside the garage work fine and none are GFCI. I assume the outlet is toast.

My question is...because it's in a box like in the link, can I replace it with one of the standard outlets I already have, or is that a not-so-good idea?

That leads me to another question...

Would this be a suitable replacement if I need to buy a new GFCI outlet?

NO delete button?

When I click the edit button, the delete button shows up between 'advanced options' and 'cancel'. Maybe that only works for replies!
