The switch assembly cost about $90 through Ford (what I paid when I broke mine) and takes about 1 hour if you've never done it before.

It's not too bad to replace, just remove the screws from the trim covers on the column (I believe there is 2 or 3 phillips). They are underneath, remove the covers, and take out the 2 20 torx screws that hold the switch on, unhook the wires and replace the switch.
