Generator fuse

Wonder if anyone can help. We have 2013 solera. Gen seems dead. (Rarely use)
When I set to prime, no red light.
Breaker on gen is on
Is there a fuse somewhere that flipped
Batteries at 4 light.

My generator in our 2012 Solera cranks when the house power switch is turned "off", so the cranking power comes before the house power switch - and therefore before the fuses in the distribution panel.
I would first try the switches to prime and crank the generator that are on the generator itself. If it works at the generator, problem would be between the generator and the internal controls.
If no success with the on-generator controls, I would look in the battery control center - on the side of the steps. Seems like several devices which get their power before the house switch are connected through the bcc.

It doesn't crank at generator
I didn't see fuses in battery control
Unless the silver boxes are fuses
Someone mentioned that low battery will cause issues so will trickle charge battery's when I get home.

You might check out this thread:

Also wouldn't crank. Service fault was a "red herring". Turned out to be a bad ground at the generator in that case.
