Typically, if you're experiencing weird electrical problems, then all you need to replace is the electrical portion of the switch (as shown in the previous posts). However, if you're having problems physically turning the switch, the entire "gun" assy may need to be replaced.

Ignore the dealer and start with replacing the electrical portion yourself since its easy and cheap. If that doesn't solve the problem then you may to replace the entire switch mechnical assy. You could still do this yourself and save the dealer labor but its a little more complicated than the electrical-only fix.
If you are having trouble turning the switch it also could be only the little electrical portion also. sounds wierd but so. When my ignition switch went bad the turning of the switch was a problem and it didn't make sense that the part I was replacing could be the problem but it was.
