Inverter
Hello. I don’t want to sound sarcastic here but sometimes it’s so simple we overlook things. Are your batteries good? Does anything else in your unit function without the main power such as the interior lights? Obviously the inverter won’t invert power if the batteries or connections are bad.

Inverter
You might also see if you have a bad GFCI. Those outlets can go bad.

It could be that the outlet on the inverter just needs to be reset. I have this exact unit and mine trips once in a while, not sure why. On the left side of your unit you should be able to see the voltage and the power switch.

Brian,
The orange/white wire at one end of your inverter is the "ignition" wire. There must be 12v on that wire for your inverter to work. Designed for motorized vehicles. The remote panel will look fine but the unit still won't invert. Put red test lead on that terminal and black to ground (you can usethe negative pole at the other end of the inverter for ground) if you don't read 12+ volts that is the problem.

I replaced my GFI with a standard outlet. It was constantly tripping. Honey don't drop the toaster in the bathtub!

FYI - the OP's inverter has built-in transfer switch and does not have an outlet on the inverter.

Same as mine. The GFI is elsewhere. Mine was in the basement.

Yes it should kick in. You might have a bad unit

Inverter with no output
I have a magnum csw1012 power invertor. It has 12 v input but there is no A/C output. The green power button does not light. Also the test and reset button do not do anything. Is there anything inside that is serviceable or just replace it. I did disconnect from shore with same results.

I would confirm you have 12v power to the unit first.
I also added a link to the user manual so you could look at some of the troubleshooting it has to offer.

Again, as stated above, there is a red cut-off switch that is used to kill the battery from the inverter. It should be on the red (hot) lead out of the battery. Is this switch in the disconnected or connected position? Flip and and see what happens.
You will probably have to push the on-off button on the inverter itself again too.
Start simple, then work your way outward.

The red switch is in the correct position. It was turned off and on just to be sure. There is 12v DC to the posts at the inverter, but no power out. There is not a reset switch that is visible. Bad unit, is my best guess, unless there is a component inside that is can be replaced.

Does the 12V LED illuminate?
From the manual, here are some trouble shooting steps.
