Recently I've been having issues with getting my '95 200 to start. I can put the key in and sometimes half the info light won't come on. It'll start occasionally but sometimes it'll just click. I've tried jiggling the key and all the light will come on but it but once I go to start it'll just click and the lights stay off. Sometimes if it's just right it clicks constantly like it can't stay in acc. Any ideas or answers would be greatly appreciated cause this is to be my daily driver.

Replace the ignition switch electrical portion. It sounds like back contacts inside.

I was afraid it was that. I can't even get that through work. I have a friend that's got a '95 sentra he's willing to give me, would that have the same switch?

yes, the sentra and 200sx are the same car.

Actually after looking through my FSM I found a ground wire that was mysteriously hanging there. I attached it to the transmission and it starts up just fine now.....ya know I can usually find the small things but this one had me going in circles.
