Description
Overview
Used mirror control switch for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. This practical electric mirror adjustment joystick (PSA 655424, manufacturer code AMP 185526) allows precise positioning of the door mirrors from the driver’s position. It is a common replacement for switches that are intermittent, partially responsive, or mechanically worn.
Features & Benefits
- Direct-fit replacement for compatible PSA vehicles with matching connector and bezel shape.
- Controls mirror movement across both axes (left/right, up/down); verify fold/tilt functionality variant if required.
- Simple swap procedure minimizes workshop time for mechanics and DIYers.
- Commonly listed under PSA part 655424 and AMP code 185526 for easier searching.
Compatibility & Fitment
Typical fitment includes Citroën Xsara and selected Citroën and Peugeot models depending on equipment level. Because multiple variants can exist, always compare the part number and connector shape against the original unit or VIN information before ordering. Matching the part code (PSA 655424 / AMP 185526) is the most reliable method to confirm compatibility.
Symptoms Of A Faulty Switch
- Mirror does not move on one axis or moves erratically.
- Intermittent response or need to jiggle the joystick to regain function.
- Mechanical looseness or “dead” joystick feel caused by wear.
- Electrical issues due to contact oxidation from water ingress in the door panel.
Replacement Procedure (Guideline)
- Disconnect the vehicle battery to prevent short circuits.
- Remove the door trim or switch bezel to access the switch module.
- Unclip the old switch from its frame and unplug the multi-pin connector.
- Connect the replacement unit, test mirror movement on both axes and both sides (L/R) before final reassembly.
- If the vehicle has an electrical folding function, ensure the installed variant supports it.
Common Causes & Maintenance Advice
Failures are commonly caused by mechanical wear of the joystick mechanism, oxidation or corrosion of electrical contacts (often after water ingress into the door), and accumulated dirt. Regularly check door seals and drainage to reduce the risk of moisture-related contact failure. When symptoms appear, replacing the switch is usually the fastest and most reliable repair.
