tinyt thanks for that explanation and it is time have another look now as far as that 5 pin thru board item it is all new to me so finding one or explanation of what it does will go a long way to solving this.
Well this arvo I decided to see if I could make some magic smoke
by turning my old shed inverter 
To my surprise it went thru one fault then the led's turned green and the power came on.
So for this inverter to self heal and work after that violent event last week does go to show what was made back in '04 can still keep working is whats missing in todays products. Down the track this old inverter will need to be reverse engineered as what this guy built off the spec's I gave him goes back way before guy's started making them. I told him don't bother with a lcd as they fail just use led's as they do the same job, now if you remember back in the day KiPoint inverters came out of that order I did and a few years ago I rang KiPoint for a schematic where they said they never made that model. Got a call back the next day where the gal said after he made mine he went into his own business so ebay made him heaps and the guy hasn't been since since.
Going off that part number for the relay I managed to grab a couple off Ali for a couple of bucks but that 4 pin transformer on the right of the board came up blank as trying to decipher the ching was beyond me. I do assume it is a 220 volt to 12V tranny and Element 14 did have one but again the price for shipping one adds 5X the cost. So I do hope to find some on Ali soon as that is out of the way.
Cheers Bryan
