The exterior outlets should be GFCI. If they are they will have a reset button. Hit the reset button and see if that resolves your issue.

No, don't take it apart. Look for a tripped ground fault circuit interrupter. That can be a GFI circuit breaker in the electric panel with a test button and a reset on it, or it can be the first receptacle in the circuit - feeding the others. That can be one of the outdoor receptacles or even one in the basement or bathroom. Those have test and reset buttons on the receptacle.

If your outside outlets are not GFCI, they may be on a circuit that is. Check other GFCI outlets such as in a garage. They are sometimes in strange places but control outside outlets.

everyone assumes GFCI are always outlets...when in fact there are also GFCI BREAKERS.... but however...either is the case most likely and needs resetting

Take it apart. Something is probably corroded. It will probably work again when you clean it off and put it back together.
