In the past, I have replaced this switch and it's a fairly easy task (remove airbag, steering wheel, clock spring and pop it off). I am hesitant to spend $200-$300 on eBay to buy a used one just to have it fail again in a year. Suncoast has them at a very good price but since I am in Canada, I am at the mercy of the cross border shipping, taxes,brokerage, and our currently miserable exchange rate.
So, has anyone ever attempted to repair one of these (with success

)?
