Help! 1978 Fleetwood Flair - AC stopped working

My daughter bought an old 1978 Flair. We have been fixing it up and it's look great. Sadly, while it was parked and plugged in, her roommate ran over the electrical cord with the lawnmower, chopping it up and requiring it be replaced. They replaced the cord and everything worked fine except the AC. The roof unit, which worked fine before the incident, now won't even turn on. I have checked the fuses that I can locate (the tube glass kind) and they seem to be intact. Can anyone give me any other advice on troubleshooting? Thanks so much!

Here's a photo:

    Have you checked the obvious stuff we seem to overlook? Circuit breaker, fuses, etc.?

    Just trying to be helpful.

    If it is a 30 amp RV with an auto-transfer switch double check the connections to the ATS. Best I can offer. also check the breakers on the generator EVEN if you are not using the generator.
