I replaced the electrical switch portion (not the tumbler portion) of the switch in my 200? No, 100 V6, as it had an automatic interlock (maybe both, it’s been almost 20 years!). I recall you take out the cluster, exposing the switch. There’s a tiny set screw under a dab of red paint that is unscrewed, letting you pull the electrical switch away from the tumbler half.
