A good part of the time if you are good at something ,you probably enjoy doing it and on the other hand if you are not that good with it you most likely don't particularly care to do that type work. It seems vehicle electrical is one of those subjects. After you think you just about seen it all , one more theory crops up. That theory was ; "You don't need to be particular when pushing all the wires back behind/under the dash because you just shove them in there and they will sort out themselves". I wonder how many fire extinguishers followed that theory !

Most folks who know will be the first to tell you If there is something they don't know.
Anyway, it appears you got hold of somebody's work who did not know. Some of their work gets by and some causes unbelievable problems.
I believe you are trying to do the right thing, but it looks like you may need to correct some of the other guy's work.
The ground cable is usually connected to some real metal of the engine like the engine block or starter mounting. Who knows that may be why a push button start was jury rigged. Grounds are important and we at this time don't know if only the engine has a good ground , but not some other electrical parts that may affect ignition. Let us know what happens after you replace those parts you have in mind, thanks.
