1. IF the system is working, you will hear the solenoid click when the dash button is pushed. Have someone at the solenoid listen for the click

If this is the case. Run the Genset or leave plugged into Shore Power and hold that button or use a toothpick to hold it for about 30 minutes. This gets a surface charge on the Chassis batteries. Then try to start the engine.
