Description
Steering-column stalks, Delphi multifunction control unit for Peugeot 206 CC and 307 CC. It controls lights, fog lights, ESP, front wipers, trip computer and horn. Cruise control and car radio (stalk must be supplied or transferred).
Product Overview
Multifunction steering-column stalk assembly by Delphi designed for Peugeot 206 CC and Peugeot 307 CC. This unit consolidates multiple driver controls into a single block: lighting and indicator commands, fog lights, ESP/traction-related switching, front wiper functions, trip computer operation and horn activation. Cruise control and radio functions may require an additional stalk to be supplied or transferred from the original unit.
Benefits
- Direct replacement for worn or malfunctioning stalks to restore full steering-column functionality.
- OEM-style integration ensures correct ergonomics and switch feel for Peugeot 206 CC and 307 CC drivers.
- Part numbers commonly searched by technicians: 96593490XT, 96605589XT, 624296 — helping rapid identification during repairs.
How To Replace
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting work to prevent short circuits and airbag deployment.
- Remove Steering Wheel Covers: Unscrew and remove the lower and upper steering-column shrouds to access the stalk assembly.
- Airbag/Clock Spring Caution: If the steering wheel or airbag must be removed, follow manufacturer procedures; mark steering wheel alignment and handle the clock spring (spiral cable) carefully to avoid damage.
- Disconnect Electrical Connectors: Unplug the stalk block connectors and note positions. If cruise or radio functions are separate, transfer the additional stalk or wiring as required.
- Remove Old Unit: Unscrew retaining fasteners and withdraw the multifunction block from the column.
- Install New Unit: Fit the replacement unit, secure fasteners to manufacturer torque specification, reconnect all electrical plugs and reassemble column shrouds.
- Final Checks: Reconnect the battery, verify all functions (lights, wipers, horn, trip computer, ESP indications). If cruise/radio functions were transferred, confirm their operation.

Installation Recommendations
- Always Disconnect Battery: Before removal and installation disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Observe Airbag Safety Procedures: If the airbag must be disturbed, follow approved safety steps and use correct tools.
- Transfer Auxiliary Controls: If cruise control or radio stalk is a separate piece, transfer it from the original unit or supply the correct additional stalk.
- Check For Fault Codes: After installation inspect the vehicle for stored fault codes and clear or address as needed using suitable diagnostic tools.
- Professional Help: For uncertain cases involving airbag, clock spring or steering angle sensor, seek a qualified technician to avoid damage and ensure safety.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Common failure modes include worn electrical contacts inside the switch block, mechanical breakage of plastic levers from repeated use or impact, moisture ingress causing corrosion and intermittent faults, and electrical wear from arcing on heavily used contacts (indicators, wipers). Age-related deterioration of internal springs and detents can also cause loose or unreliable switch operation. In many CC models, high mileage and exposure to the elements accelerate these issues.
Notes For Technicians
When searching for replacements use the product codes 96593490XT and 96605589XT or reference number 624296 for faster identification. Ensure transferred components (cruise/radio stalk) are correctly fitted and connectors are seated to prevent intermittent faults.
