I've been racking my brain and I am hoping one of you hhave an answer. 

If you can picture the operation of  cruise control in the car.  There is a conenction (closed circuit), and when the brake pedal is depressed, the cuircut is broken.  Then to reset the relay the resume is depressed. 

It not for cruise control but I use this exapmple becuase it is exacly the function I am looking for. 

Power will come from 12 volt ignition and the relay, lactching or toggling relay will need to handle 10amps. 

Summary,

One source to deactivate the circuit totally, and another to reset the circuit.  Picture an electic switch, if you flip it up, it connects and down it disconnects but done electonically.  I apologize for the descriptions but its hard to verbalize.

Thanks Soundman,

There will be 12 volts from the ignition going to thru 87a or 30 whent he car's ignition is on.  When the brake is depressed, that connection has to be disabled completely and should only be reset with a rest button.  Meaning once its disables or opens, it is permanently open (like a toggle or latch) unitl it is reset again by depressing a momentary 12 volt or ground button where it will toggle back to closed position and resume. 

So, a power line that will cut off (open) permanently when triggered by one source and reset by another momentary source.  Thats why I think it will work very much like an electric toggle switch.

I hope this is more clear.  Thanks for your feedback

so then you'd change the output to 87a. your cutoff button would be a +12V momentary input on pin 86, and your reset button would be a momentary interrupt of the ground connection to pin 85.
you should probably put a diode on the +12V cutoff trigger (brake lights) so when the relay is latched, it won't feed power back to your car.

Soundman, i think it will work.  Looks good. I'm going to bench test this.

Thanks
