Brake light issue

I have a 1987 Ford Ranger XLT 2wd with 2.9 Lt truck I am needing help with a brake light issue. They don't work. If I hold the brake pedal down and jiggle the turn signal they come on sometimes, and if I keep holding brake pedal down the lights go off. I have checked the bulbs, the wires and the sockets and all looks okay. All my other lights and signals are working just fine. So now what? Can someone please help me out?

Major strong hint that the multifunction switch has finally failed due to 33 years of use and wear.
