Standard Ignition Ignition Lock Cylinder and Switch,Ignition Lock Cylinder,Ignition Switch P/N:US-176
Replace a worn key cylinder and ignition switch in one step with the Standard Ignition Ignition Switch with Lock Cylinder, part number US-683, a direct-fit ignition switch for the 1998-1999 Nissan Altima. It combines the key-operated lock cylinder and the electrical switch in one unit. As the key turns through its positions, the switch sends power to the vehicle's ignition circuits.
A worn lock cylinder or failing switch contacts can cause a key that is hard to turn, a no-crank condition, or dash power that cuts in and out. If one of these is the cause, this assembly replaces both together. Diagnose the problem before replacing, because the battery, starter or wiring can produce the same signs. See the Buyer's Guide tab for complete application details.
