Loose Steering Column Combination Switch

Looking for a few pointers on my 2002 C2. The switch stalk that toggles between temp, MPG etc seems to wiggle. As if it is loose within the steering column combination switch assembly. It's not falling out or off, but there seems to be much much more wiggle than the other three stalks.

Here is my question, is this normal, I just don't recall. It seems fairly straight forward to replace, but would much rather tighten a screw or replace a clip or something like that to remove this looseness. Besides, self repair beats spending more money at a shop if I can do it myself.

Any tips???

I read it is held in with a screw since the 4th stalk is just added onto a 3 stalk part.


Maybe worth a look.

Yea, I saw that one. Is your stalk, that allows you to view the different vitals, loose or is it firm like the others?

I don't recall any wiggle in the stalk, I can confirm later today.

Mine doesn't seem to be loose in reference to the other stalks.
