Turn signal switch question-Cherokee

I have a dumb question. My 1988 Cherokee turn signal lever won't stay in position when turning right. It stays ok when turning left (yeah , I know, just make left hand turns). Other than that everything works fine. Anyway, do I need the plastic "cam" in the column under the steering wheel or do I need the combination wiper/dimmer/turn signal switch that the lever shoves into? I hope that I just need the cam because it's $10.00 as opposed to $100.00 for the combination switch. The parts places won't let you return electrical parts, so I can't buy both and return the one that I don't need. Thanks in advance for any help! Keith

Is your steering wheel slightly crooked by any chance?

Nope. It's perfectly straight. The car had this problem when I bought it a few months ago, and I'm just now getting around to fixing it. I had to take care of other more important things first, like changing over the cooling system, etc.

I will, I am still getting the photos together, Steve took a pile. Physiotherapy beat/stretched the crap out of a couple muscles I didn't know I had this week, so I can't sit for long right now...

Hi Keith, It's the switch, usually it's the left side that breaks as we try to hold it working when the wheels are turned to the left in a dangerous position while waiting for the light:
