I dont know if you need to or not but, I do know there was a recall on the ignition for 96 Grand AM. I would call a local dealer and ask if this pertained to your car also.

First you must start by removing the entire ignition, itself, on the Nissan 200SX. It should be fairly easy, you will just need the correct tools. Once you have bought the new ignition switch, attach it to the ignition and then re-install the ignition into the Nissan 200SX.
