Something being said here that doesn't make sense. In Post #15 he says when he presses USE he hears a clunk (as you should when the latching relay is moving from STORE to USE). Then he says when he pushes USE again he hears the latching solenoid again. That should not be so. You should only hear the latching relay solenoid "clunk" when it changes from one state (USE to STORE, and then STORE to USE).
he latching relay when properly working should be in one state or another. It should not change states until you change the USE/STORE switch to a different state. Pushing the USE/STORE a second time when it is already in the state you are pushing should not change the latching relay. Once a latching relay is put in one state it will not change states until commanded to do so -- that's why it is called a latching relay -- once put in a state it latches into that position until commanded to go to the other state.
