ok i went a tested the outputs while the system was powered up this is what i got
if you look at the close up photo the left and the right pins have 120 vac on them and the center one goes to 120vac thru a resistor and some type of ic module. and that one is also connected to the bulb looking at the back side you can see the main buss is the red wire then to the right of the triacs if they are triacs and the left side goes down to another module that is white
all the components? have the numbers rubbed off but the triac's outputs have some numbers at the bottom on the left i see c3 then the part has a dot and then the number 44 on them i do not understand why i get 120vac on both outside pins and then the center pin that goes thru the resistor and on to the light. is 120vac .
so it kind of looks like the gate is 120vac as well? i wonder this if you look at the back of the board you see the center pin going to the lights those 3 wires at the top are the lights. and the left pin drops down to the module and the right pin goes to the power input from the mains. l1 power and l2 neutral ? so maybe that left pin that goes down to the module is powering the module? anyway it kind of looks like i may be able to get a trais with the gate trigger at 120vac and 2 amps should be large enough
or would that configuration just be a power output transistor?
one more thing when i measured the light that remains on all 3 pins are powered so it could be possible the output is good and that white module that triggers the output is fused closed and is triggering the output?
any ideas thanks.
this is what i found online it has 120 volts Simplifies Logic Control of 115/240 Vac Power this is also used for Lighting Controls so now i winder if this burned and is causing the issue. i may ebay it and if you think the outputs are power transistors and not triacs? let me know thanks.

this triac ic module has this for the description so that almost makes me thing the outputs are triacs as well
The MOC3063 devices consist of gallium arsenide infrared emitting diodes optically coupled to monolithic silicon detectors performing the functions of Zero Voltage Crossing bilateral triac drivers. They are designed for use with a triac in the interface of logic systems to equipment powered from 115/240 Vac lines, such as solid–state relays, industrial controls, motors, solenoids and consumer appliances,etc.
