New to the game and already lost :D trying to figure out what i need to make car push button work like i want

What i struggle with is picking up the signal from the button on the board

I would suggest that you wire your button without the 5v connection and pull down resistor and use the internal pullup resistor and let the switch pull the input pin LOW when pressed.

I would also recommend that you wire diagonally across the switch. That way you ensure you pick up switched legs and not connected legs.
