I would recommend using a non-contact voltage detector (such as a NCV pen) to try to isolate the problem location. Example:   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099SJ6469?psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_ct_0XB57K01T2J214D5615W&language=en_US
Using this you can see where the AC voltage stops.  This should narrow down the problem location.  The AC cable might be covered with hard plastic cable protection up to the main panel so you might need to open some of this to get an accurate detection depending on the sensitivity of your NCV tool.  
 I would definitely check after main inlet switch and both sides of the panel breaker. If that is all good then GFCIs.
