I am having the same problem with my 93. Do you have to take the steering wheel off to change this out? The chilton manual that I have looked at doesn't address this very well.
To change out the turn signal stalk/CC switch, here is what must be done:
1. remove steering wheel (you do have a steering wheel puller, right?)
2. remove horn switch assy
3. remove steering wheel lock plate (again you will need a special tool used to remove these on GM type columns)
4. remove turn signal stalk from turn signal lever arm.
5. remove turn signal lever from end of turn signal switch
6. unbolt turn signal switch from top of column
7. disconnect CC wiring harness under dash, and pull old CC switch wiring out of column
8. thread new wiring harness for CC switch back down column, and reassemble in reverse.
I found that the only way I could thread the new CC switch wiring harness down the column without pinching it in the tilt mechanism or the ignition switch push-pull rod was to remove the outer decorative shroud around the upper part of the column. WHAT A PITA.
Unless you are already adept at working on GM-type columns, figure 2-3 hours to do this job, with all the right tools.
The following web site might help. It's about how to fix a tilt-type GM column, but it also shows how the turn signal stalk goes together in photo form.

Good luck.
