The battery is good enough to start the engine. Running the generator is when the alternator has failed and the battery is going dead... usually have to hold the boost switch in to charge engine battery from the house batteries/inverter/charger.
Not sure that a bad ground at the dash would stop the key from starting the engine as it put 12V to the starter solenoid (no need for a ground)... so I'd say you are not getting any power to the dash.
*I'd start at the engine battery disconnect switch... no it does not disconnect the starter from the batteries on a diesel and work my way forward finding 12V.
