First off, when you push and hold the generator start switch, do you hear anything, fuel pump ticking etc.? The power comes from the rear run box RRB via a 4/0 Red cable to the front run box FRB bulkhead connector on the front wall of the FRB.

The schematic shows the RRB wire as being the bottom far left wire and is fed by a bus bar from a breaker just above and slightly right of its entry point.
