Looking to remove a 2003 Nissan Altima Ignition Lock and Cylinder Switch.


VEHICLE DETAILS:
2003 Nissan Altima
Automatic Transmission
2.5L
4-cylinders


PROBLEM:
The key got stuck in the ignition, but was finally able to remove. The car will not start using the key, it sometimes lights up the dashboard, but will not start when I turn the key, the dashboard goes off. I Need to find a "Video" or step-by-step instructions with images if possible on how to remove and replace the Ignition Lock and Cylinder Switch.

Thanks for any help.

I just recently bought a 02 Altima with this same problem. The guy I bought it from gave me a great deal on the car I couldn't pass up. But it is the same problem, I get lights on the dash but no action what so ever when trying to turn the key. The guy told me that he tried replacing the ignition with one he bought from a junkyard but did not have the key and that I just needed to have a new key programmed to the switch. Did you buy a whole new switch and everything when trying to replace yours.
