"What is the next step to determine what is causing me to have to press the OD button three or four times in order to get it to shift?"

Does the green light go on-off each time you press the button (regardless of whether or not OD engages)?

If so, then the problem is likely a bad solenoid, bad sonnection, or bad solenoid ground. (And it might still be a bad solder connection in the solenoid.)

If not, then it might be a bad solenoid solder connection, or the wires to the button, or the tiny tab connectors AT the button might be flakey.

Is the tranny full of oil?
