Ok more progress and almost there !!! 
It was a wet day so I decided to pull the inverter . You could tell it had been pulled before from loose and missing hardware . When I went to disconnect p16 it almost fell off. Tried to put it back on but it wouldn't click or seem to stay on? when I looked at the inverter the rubber seal around the connector wouldn't let the connector slide on far enough to click. So I figured why I had it out Id take it apart clean and check everything . Well let me tell you ! The housing around it could survive a drop from the top of the empire state building !! After much tinkering I was able to get it apart . Cleaned it and dried it well. Check the fuses they were fine. checked everything I could put my meter on, all looked good! It appears its a very heavy built unit. While pulling it apart I found the door switch jammed, So it thought the door was open. Plugged it back up and mounted it and 224 VAC now and 113 VAC at the outlet I plugged a small heater in the outlet. it didn't take long to trip the overload CB10 I believe. But it reset after a min. Next issue is no power to the main terminals. The switch on the front panel checks out. But the main contactor doesn't seem to be latching ? I also May need to replace the starter contact as well as it clicks sometimes. but the starter doesn't seem to always engage. Thanks for every ones help !! and if you have any suggestion's please chime in !!
