The travel in your steering shaft is now probably limited by the vibration-steering connector at the end of the shaft. Just before the steering gear. . I believe what is supposed to keep the shaft from moving is a bearing or retainer clip on the top end of the shaft--in the turn signal assembly area. IIRC...........................MO

Your headed down the right road with a test light & schematic. They mess up internally and can be repaired if you are very careful. You will get some in and out play/movement of the steering shaft, I don't think I have ever seen that much play.

Next is to get out the test light and schematics to test the switch itself. One other concern has arisen...I noticed that the entire steering wheel moves in and out about 1 inch..not back and forth or up and down but if I pull it the whole shaft, bearing assembly and wheel moves towards the driver about an inch...I doubt this is normal but according to my shop manual it slides right into the worm shaft splines in the steering box and doesn't appear to show any sort of "retainer". The column is tight at the floor and dash, it's the section with the turn signal and up that moves. Going to dig in a little further tomorrow but any insight would be appreciated!
