Never having mine apart, I don't know the part number. If you had your tailgate cover off once before, it won't be hard to take it off again :)
You will need to remove the plastic cover around the latch to find the switch. And buy a couple of extra plastic fasteners from the dealer. While at the dealer, you could ask to look at the explosion diagram and see how it is put together. I am afraid the dealer will want to replace the whole thing.
Your car is too new to have the wire break at the hinge. Perhaps you can just bend the switch to fit.
