How much does it cost to replace ignition on 91 240sx?

SB... If you are talking about the steering wheel lock/ignition switch assembly, Nissan refers to them as SOP - Lockset Steering:

Model Year:

1989-1994 ALL - Part # 48700-40F86 1995-1998 Auto Tranny - Part # 48700-72F25 1995-1998 Manual Tranny - Part # 48700-73F25 price $134.00 (as of March 2003)

Removal of the damaged steering wheel lock/ignition switch requires that you drill out the anti-tamper bolts that hold the steering wheel lock/ignition switch assembly to the steering column. Not that difficult to do, but may require the use of a bolt drill-out extractor set.

you remove the two anti-tamper bolts the steering wheel lock/ignition switch assembly will literally fall off the steering column. Replacement is a matter of properly positioning the new replacement unit in & hand tightening the bolts up. Make sure you test the fit PRIOR to torquing down the anti-tamper bolts. Once you snap the heads off those anti-tamper bolts, you wont' be able to remove or readjust the /steering lock/ignition switch assembly.Anyhow, hope this helps...Good luck!! ID

PS: If you decide not to replace the steering wheel lock/ignition switch assembly, then give your local locksmith a call. He might be able to repair/replace the lock assembly for less.

That was an excellent answer. The wheel has never locked and the key has always been able to be removed when car is running and the key can be turned to off position without pushing button. the button has never done anything. i know the car was stolen before so i guess it was broken then. the guy was insured so i don't know why it was not fixed. It will be interesting to get my car back from police to see what new damage has been done. this is one jinxed car.
