Description
Original Delphi COM2000 steering column stalk control unit designed for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. The unit bearing OEM numbers 96574675XT and 6242G5 manages turn signals, exterior lighting (including fog lights), the horn, the trip computer and both front and rear wipers. The version with rain sensor support provides automatic wiping when it detects precipitation. This direct-replacement module preserves factory functions and PSA electrical compatibility.
Key Features
The COM2000 stalk control unit centralises multiple steering-column functions into a single module. Typical capabilities include:
- Left and right indicators (turn signals)
- Main and dipped beam control and fog light switching
- Horn operation
- Trip computer/navigation controls mounted on the stalks
- Front and rear windshield wiper control; some variants support a rain sensor for automatic wiping
Symptoms & Common Causes
Faults in this module commonly present as: spontaneous or stuck indicators, intermittent or unexpected wiper activation, non-functioning horn, and loss of fog light or trip computer control. Causes are usually wear of contact surfaces, internal switch fatigue, or mechanical failure of the stalk mechanisms. Because many functions route through the COM2000, a failing unit can affect several systems at once.
Fitment & Compatibility
This Delphi COM2000 unit (OEM 96574675XT / 6242G5) is typically fitted to a range of PSA models. Common applications include Peugeot 206, 307 (I), 406, 807, Partner II and Citroën C5 (I), C8, Berlingo II and Xsara. Multiple COM2000 variants exist depending on equipment level (fog lights, rear wiper, rain sensor, connector type), so always confirm compatibility by matching the OEM part number 96574675XT or 6242G5 and by checking the connector layout on the vehicle.
Installation — Brief Guide
Only qualified personnel or experienced DIYers should perform this replacement. Basic steps:
- Disconnect the battery and wait the recommended time to ensure airbag circuits are de-energised.
- Remove the driver airbag and steering wheel following the vehicle manufacturer procedure.
- Remove the steering column trim panels to expose the COM2000 module.
- Unbolt or unclip the original COM2000, disconnect all wiring harness connectors and remove the unit.
- Install the new Delphi module, ensuring connectors are fully engaged and the module is seated correctly.
- Reassemble trims, reinstall the steering wheel and airbag, reconnect the battery and verify all functions: indicators, lights, horn, trip computer and wipers.
Take care with connector alignment and locking tabs; incorrect seating can cause intermittent faults or failure to communicate with vehicle systems.
