I too am assuming the switches are the culprit and was hoping to confirm that with my post. Although it may not become evident unless the truck is a daily/weekly driver.
I have considered wiring a relay in to drop the load on the switch down below a couple amps. If I go that direction I'll be using a 40 amp Bosch style relay no need for a big ole starter solenoid relay here.
