I have a module that is turned on and off by a momentary switch. One side of the switch is constant negative the other is constant positive. When the switch is pushed it grounds out the circuit and changes the on/off state. This is all fine and dandy.

My problem is I want to control a seperate circuit with that same switch so it turns on/off the module and my other circuit at the same time. I have some latching relays but cant seem to figure out how to wire them to work.

Thanks in advance for any help

I have dual coil latching relays but I cant figure out how to make them latch and unlatch with only one momentary switch in the circuit.
 
I got it to somewhat work. I used a positive output of the module and a common ground to switch on my relay. So when I turn on the module it is switching my relay on. I hooked the momentary switch to reset the relay when pushed but since there is still power on the set side it wont work since they are fighting eachother.

I know I could use a standard relay but it seems to suck too much out of the circuit when I do that.
