Product Description

This Arrowhead ignition barrel and housing assembly is designed to restore reliable starting and security functionality to your vehicle. The assembly includes a metal ignition barrel housing, a lock cylinder with rotary positions (LOCK, ACC, ON, START), two matching ignition keys, and a three-pin electrical connector. This part is essential for the ignition switch system, allowing you to start the vehicle, control accessories, and secure the steering column when parked.

Fitment is indicated for Nissan 1400 models manufactured between 1971 and 2008. Due to variations in models and possible changes across years, it is crucial to confirm your specific vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before placing your order. This will help ensure compatibility and correct installation.

Common symptoms of a failing ignition barrel or housing include difficulty turning the key, intermittent starting issues, the key getting stuck or not returning to the correct position, loss of electrical power to accessories, or the steering lock not engaging or disengaging properly. If you notice any of these issues, it may be time to inspect this part.

Replacement of the ignition barrel and housing is recommended if you are experiencing key operation problems, starting failures, or security concerns. Always use the correct part for your specific Nissan 1400 model and consider professional installation for proper alignment and electrical connection.
