Finally a broken Cruise Control swicth, is it repairable?
That 'bolt clip' is, I believe, a 'capture nut', but in the picture it looks like without the nut. The bolt would thread into a nut held by the clip, or in this case, into a threaded plate. Not sure if they are readily available retail, but they aren't special Mercedes fasteners.

It looks like someone broke off the toggle on the mirror switch. If you're really 'handy', you might be able to disassemble the switch and re-attach it, or fabricate one, but just go on EBay and pick one up for a few dollars. They're cheap, few folks looking for these.

If you broke the control stalk off, or there is internal damage, you'll need a replacement switch, which is separate from the turn signal assembly. If it's a wiring problem outside the switch, it is fixable.
