What is the momentary switch for? The one on the right side of the diagram connected with green wires.
Most latching relays that I am aware of only need the coil voltage applies for a short time. Is this the way your latching relay is susposed to work?
 
hi thanks for yor reply,
i think its called a momentry switch its one that dosnt latch.
Yes the momentry switch makes a circiut through the normarly closed and common of the first micro switch, which is pressed in so it is now open making the motor stop.
 
Here is a diagram I think will work for you
