    Did you check the main fuse holder by your battery?

    In the back of the tri-pac box behind the motor and above the alternator there is a big 50amp fuse to check and the fuse holder for it likes to corrode inside as well, it can be a real bugger to get to sometimes. While your in there check the connections on the alternator and starter as well, both are common problems.
    Power for the control panel runs like this: Batteries --> APU starter --> APU alternator --> power post in black box --> control panel

    No fuse holder by battery. Cables go from battery to factory installed inverter/charger to apu

    I will check that out. Is the 50 amp fuse an item that can be obtained without going to volvo, or TK?

    Yes, most any auto parts store should carry them
