Broken 09 Caravan cruise switch lever
I just bought a 09 Grand Caravan yesterday and got off to a bad start. I pushed too hard on the "flipper" switch for the cruise control and snapped it off. I will be checking with my dealer on Monday but wondering if anyone knows the approximate cost and also how much work to install.
[I run an auto shop and can probably do it myself if no special tools are needed] THANKS

no special tool is needed, you just remove the air bag and change it, it as like 3 screws holding it onto the steering wheel.
to remove the steering wheel, you need to Bend a flat head screw driver 90 degree at 2 inch from the tip, and a small mirror, disconnect the battery, insert the screw driver into the slot behind the steering wheel to release 3 clips.

I think the switch itself cost less than $25.

OK I performed the operation this morning. For anyone following this, I am afraid steak59 was a bit confused. The air bag is not held in by screws and you do not need to remove the steering wheel. Also, the 3 clips are not holding the wheel on [I wondered about that one the first time I read it -
] The 3 clips are what holds the air bag in place.
