Got it running!
On my coach, the 90A CB with red button is on the basement CB panel, but that was not the problem. I was able to get a reading on the back of the generator frame lugs after cleaning up the contacts. Still nothing in the control box. I called Power Tech and was told that if there was no power at the 40A CB (that I replaced) forward of the three relays, then nothing would work. It would have helped if that CB had been shown on the ES52F wiring diagram. There is a small circle with a wire from the battery, showing that it connects to the three wires going to the relays and one to the 10A fuse. You may want to draw in the CB at that circle and label it. He suggested that I run a wire to it from a 12v source and then try to start it. This did the job. Now I need to disconnect the original wire and run a new one to that copper lug (jumping it). The tech said that wire goes to the starter; it could be loose or broken, but I would have to take off the back panel of generator to find out, something I want to avoid.
Hope this helps someone "down the road". Thanks for the help and sticking with me.
