maybe try removing a wire from the switch and using your meter in diode test, test the switch?
red lead on + of diode, non banded end, (solder tag on the side, assuming this without seeing a pic) black lead on longest switch blade, (assuming this without seeing pic, one closest to playfield when in place) one that is not connected to the diode, but if a capacitor is installed, then that one (not the solder tag where the negative of the diode and capacitor join), when closed you should see a voltage drop of approximately 0.8 VDC
just to eliminate the switch from one of the possible causes.
