IIRC the signal switch was the subject of a recall ... I had it replaced under warranty on 3 of my 7 Foci for the exact same reason ...
first thing you may want to do is check and see if by some miracle you're still covered for it (what year is your car anyway?) ...
and just looking at an exploded view of the steering column, it doesn't look to me like you need to disconnect the airbags to replace it, but perhaps someone on here has actually done the repair themselves and would know better.
BTW - a new switch is relatively inexpensive - well, at least in the US it is.
