I encountered a similar situation and wrote a long thread on it.
No DC power, no "clunk" when I clicked the USE/Store switch.
After an hour of thinking thru the electrical process, along with some trial & error...I figured it out.

Bottomline...It was the solenoid. It gets corroded inside due sparking, thus it won't make the connection.

At the time it failed I was on the road, so I completely removed the solenoid & connected the cables directly to each other (+ to +, - to -). Electrical tape around them. Essentially I was over-riding the solenoid, it was like not having a USE/STORE switch as everything now worked as it should.

And everything worked fine until I returned home.

I then ordered a new solenoid from Amazon (abt $35 at the time).
I also dis-assembled the "bad" solenoid, cleaned it up with a grinder wire brush, so now I have a spare.
