Well done.We're driving again!
During testing I was poking about at the wiring and suddenly one of the relays in the relay module triggered and after a few minutes more poking I figured it looks like the relay module is faulty.
This is the offending module.

Ignore the missing jumper, I had to pinch it after one on the new module pinged into the engine bay.
I haven't had time to check for sure yet but this doesn't look right.

The last relay was flicking off and on as I touched the side of the board so at first I thought maybe it was a cracked track as I haven't always been as gentle with it as I might be and the support for it flexes a lot but I guess a dry joint could do it too.
Anyway the module is now replaced and the car is driving again with all the charging bits still in place![]()
Its a proper project that keeps giving this eh?
