l recently purchased a 1998 Saturn SL2 with only 58000 original miles on it ... everything works great on it but l was having to practically force my blinkers on.... After getting a CD player installed the other day at circuit city the person who installed it had on the receipt: loose steering column so l held down one side of it and sure enough the blinker clicked on just as l have always had them work for my older vehicles.So what I am basically asking is.. One, how could l go about tightening the steering column?Secondly do you think this will keep allow my blinker to just work normally?

A stereo installation should have nothing to do with the steering colum.
l have no idea why the install guy would write loose colum unless he did something wrong and is trying to cover something up. But again what one has to do with the other is beyond me! It sounds like your car may have had work in the past done to the steering colum. Theft or accident? Get it to an experienced machanic as he/she will probably let you know wassup for nothing. Always tip them though!
