Default Horn "double copper plate" switch

My horn was stuck on, and after some testing traced the problem to the switch in the steering wheel. I attached a picture of what it looks like. When it is straight, the copper plates are kept like a hair width apart, but when you flex it, a.k.a. push the steering pad, it flexes the plates and makes contact somewhere on the plates. Can I order this part from Jeep or do I need to replace the entire pad? Or even worse, the whole pad including the airbag? If it gets that far I am using a dash mounted pushbutton.

You may have to replace the whole airbag, call the dealer to be sure.
