With charger on house batteries you got nothing (no sound)? I assume you had option to try momentary 20 - 50 amps and still got nothing. Doesn't sound like a battery issue issue to me especially if everything else works off House Batteries like normal.
Pretty much has to be wiring and/or breaker at House batteries to Generator. If you have the time for smoking gun proof, take one of the House batteries that is fully charged and directly connect to genset and start it manually outside. You then will know for sure battery is ok, fuel is ok, and generator ok. You may be at point where electrical drawing is needed?
One other way out left field idea
Do you have a AGS by any chance? If so, any chance the configuration for genset type got changed or if the safety feature is in need to be reset? i.e. my genset will not start after so may days unless I trigger the safety feature In my case it is the ignition switch. Is it possible that wires may be short such that when engine is not running the genset thinks it is in safety mode and will not start waiting the signal to think that safety feature can be overridden? Although it is possible the outside manual start will allow you to bypass that safety feature? I have never tried to start my genset outside with safety feature is on. Just a thought, we just brainstorming
