General 55g start switch

I have a Generac 55G generator. It has a start stop switch on the generator and when I try to start it from there it clicks like the battery is dead. It starts fine from inside the coach. I tried replacing the switch with no fix, any ideas on the issue?

Or there is that. Glad you found it.
