My money's on the switch (how much TBD) but we're going to check those to be thorough.

Yes that's it. Not a hard job to replace. Mine wouldn't sit completely flat, I had to grind a small bump in the the housing first.

I can't find a replacement under $200 so going to see if we can fix ours. My son does a lot of microsoldering. If it's fixable, he could probably do it.

I found a switch for my Ford on eBay, it was still $175 and I have yet to install it.

Have you replaced the bulbs? A bad bulb will drive you absolutely crazy. On my Ford, I didn't care for the OG style taillight sockets and replaced them with a GM type, I had to enlarge the holes to 1.125" but the sockets ground themselves.
