I Know this sounds stupid but, Why does the button have 3 wires?

Com Norm open Norm Closed?

Pinout of the actual switch would help

Ok it is a lighted switch? Why the extra ground?

For AC I understand why you use an extra ground ite is to shield the switch and provide a ground path for stray ac voltage so you don't get shocked. But in a DC circuit it is used as a referance or to provide a ground for a light.

I would draw it different so you can see the contacts of the switch.

The only reason you may need a ground is to prevent False starts from static electricity.

The ground is for the switch illumination.
