I independently checked the Boil SSR and it works. I placed it back in the control panel and its failing to light up as well as failing to fire the element
when the element is unplugged the boil light comes on but when i plug it in the light wont come on even though i hear the contactor engaging. it has previously worked. where should i begin to troubleshoot

If the SSR is working as well as the downstream contactor, then it's most likely a PID issue.
The troubleshooting guide will walk you through: http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25460
See the section: "My heating element is not firing at all! (or firing continuously)"
It'll walk you you from start to end and ensure that things are being used correctly and that parts are working.

Spare parts are available in our shop (if required): https://shop.theelectricbrewery.com/

Good luck!

P.S. I erased the identical post you made in the "Club Members Private Chat Room" sub-forum.
