Don't feel bad. I thought my Onan generator was "broke" till I found those circuit breakers.

In troubleshooting things that suddenly aren't working, unless you've heard a loud noise or smell a strange odor, always assume the simplest cause first. Once those have been eliminated, then it's time to start tearing into the innards. But look for the easiest "mechanical" cause first (switches & interlocks).

The traditional argument between electrical engineers & mechanicals is that the cause is always the other guy's discipline. (heh heh, you know who you are!)
Yep, Darn electrical always blaming us mechanical for failures.
