OEM Driving Lights - Bad "Key Button"?

My "new-to-me" 2004 MCS - MC40 seems to have some trouble with it's driving lights: any time I turn on the brights, the driving lights come on, too. The switch (key button - Part No. 63-12-0-144-134) for the driving lights doesn't seem to work as it won't turn the driving lights off and I don't need to press it to turn them on. They ALWAYS come on with brights whether I want them to or not. (This can't be good for the plastic covers, so I started running without them at night.)

To test things out, I disconnected the key button and the driving lamps behave in the exact same manner. I know precious little about automobile wiring, so I'm hoping that one of you can answer this question before I spend $70 on a replacement key button:

Does this problem sound like one that would be best remedied with a new key button?

Or should I be looking somewhere else in the wiring for the source of my woes?

TIA,

-Fred.
