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).

What do you mean by "...to see exactly WHAT IT IS"? Am I looking for
the meter-reading? The kind of push button? Or ????

If the ohmeter reads at all with the button not pushed (which it WILL
since it is a lighted button) it won't work for the door control.
