When you wired to your switches are you on the NC or NO contact?   The ground should go to the common and the NO contact goes to the terminal on your jpac.  If you switches seem to be always pressed you maybe on the NC contact.

also, did you remove the wires that went to the kick harness for UMK3?

wire up ONE button at a time, see how that treats ya
