Larry,
You do not need to remove Onan to get to the connection behind the drawer. You do need to pull the drawer all the way out. Raise air bags max up, place stands under frame. Just in case, then lay underneath onan compartment and look for connector. GMC photo album has a very good set of photos about this repair.

Did you try to start from the inside only? Did you try to start at the GEN SET panel on the gen?
The cable on my 74 has a connector at the rear of the gen set cabinet. You can only reach it by taking the heavy genset OUT OF THE CABINET. those connector contacts are known to corrode then the inside starter switch will not start the genny.
Mine does not work from inside and I am fairly sure it is because of this connector but I don't have resources to take the genny out so I start it at the genny.
One other thought, when I originally brought my coach home, the gen set did not work. The PO ran a wire from the door ( remote start panel ) over the floor to the gen battery. He said it would not start without it but he did not know why.
My vehicle battery kept losing charge and it turned out to be the battery at the gen compartment. The wire he installed tied the system to the vehicle battery. The Gen batt was shorted inside and drained all the power out. The gen was starting because it was getting Vechicle power via the wire the PO ran over the floor.
Check the condition of your battery.
