The relay won't turn back off. I have the same setup as you with a 2n2222 NPN transistor. My relay read as this one across the coil. When I apply 12v to the coil circuit all is well. When add power from the arduino to the transistor base, the relay activates. However, the relay stays activated until I disconect the 12v. My "12v" supply is actually reading 13.2v with the meter. Am I possibly overloading the transistor and it stays stuck on?
