With the cord winder assembled, is there power coming out of the terminal block on the winder? Anyway, you're on the right track, keep poking it.
Assuming you have a test light or multimeter, connect one lead to a known-good white wire (common/ neutral), and use the other lead to test all other points, find the wire that's farthest (electrically speaking) from the cord with power. You'll find the break. If everything has line/ hot power, switch the leads, and test for the break in the common/ neutral power. In other words, keep chasing the power until you find the break. | ||

Owen, Open the bag compartment. There is a switch on the door, that will not let you power up the vac if there is not a bag in it. The switch failed on my machine, I replaced it and the machine worked perfectly | ||

Check the terminal block on the inside of the case that the cord reel presses up against. Those were famous for melting down.
There are two wires coming from the motor, you should see them running to the terminal block, if you jumper those two wires with a test lead does the motor run? There is also a terminal block inside the front bag door that the bag lockout switch and the terminals for the power nozzle connect to. The bag lockout switch could be dirty or bad. The early bag lockout switch was a slide switch the later bag lockout switch was just a spring contact. | ||
