So what about "check the original button with an ohm meter to see exactly what
it is" do you disagree with?

Nothing; why did you think I disagreed w/ seeing what was in the
original (altho it almost certainly is nothing but a momentary
contact)--I was just telling OP which device I think is his issue (and why).

By his (the OP's) own admission it is NOT a simple momentary contact -
it has a light (a resistance) in it.
