Do any of the plugs have a button on them that look something like this?

Did you try an appliance? Reason I ask is maybe lightning burned the freezer motor.

You have a gfi outlet and the outside outlets need to be re-caulked, water getting in backside of outlet shorting it

Check ALL garage outlets

I would never plug a fridge/freezer into a gfi protected outlet for this very reason

It's on a gfi circuit and he just doesn't know it, he needs to look for the gfi outlet not the outdoor or the one freezer one
