Trying to use an LED lit arcade button momentary switch as an LED to blink

I'm very new to coding, learning for a prop project build, and i have an issue I'm trying to solve. I want to use a momentary switch LED lit arcade button as a normal LED for sequencing on the project. I'm running into issues when i try to upload the code from the standard blink example. The momentary switch + and - are set in the board like a regular LED with proper resistance attached to it. It test blinks from pin 13 and ground, but then turns off. The buttons stays lit when the + and - are wired directly to a power source. Stumped, and looking for guidance. Thank you all in advance.

Impossible to answer without a hand drawn wiring diagram, and the code. Use Tools/Auto Format then copy the entire sketch for Forum.
