Stick that turns on lights,brights and blinkers...

That little cylinder on the left side of the steering wheel column is completely broken now. First it started with the blinkers not turning off when I turned.. then up to my lights turning on for no reason is set on off ocasionally becuase something wasn't connecting right.. I jiggled it kind of hard, and now it doesn't even work to turn on the lights/brights/ anything besides blinkers.

I'm going to take apart the bottom of the steering wheel tommorrow to find out which piece I need, but does anyone know what it is called, and whether autozone would sell it? I can't drive at night anymore until I can get it fixed - it's the the stick thats broken, but whatever it connectes into that allows you to turn on/of the lights....

Just look at it and does it have turn signal arrows on it? and pictures of lights on it. I've never heard of combination switch. If you want I have a used turn signal/ headlight switch for $30.
