Description
Multifunction Control Unit COM2005 Delphi for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. Controls lights, fog lights, radio functions, cruise control (radio/steering controls must be supplied or transferred), front and rear wipers, and horn.
Description
This multifunction stalk/control block (COM2005 by Delphi) is a direct-fit component used on a range of Citroën and Peugeot models. It centralizes the steering-column switches for lighting, fog lamps, wipers, horn, cruise control and some radio functions, improving ergonomics and consolidating wiring compared with individual switches. Suitable for professional garages and DIY mechanics familiar with steering column disassembly. Common search terms: COM2005, Delphi stalk module, multifunction switch, Citroën stalk controls, Peugeot stalk controls, part numbers 96601446XT, 6242X3.
Technical Information

Fitment / Compatible Models
Typical compatibility includes (but is not necessarily limited to): Citroën Berlingo II, Citroën Berlingo III, Citroën C2, Citroën C3 (I and II), DS3, Peugeot Partner II, Peugeot Partner III, and related vehicles using the COM2005 platform. Always verify the part number against the vehicle’s original part marking before installation.
Installation
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before any work to avoid short circuits and airbag deployment.
- Remove steering wheel trim and, if required, the airbag module following the vehicle manufacturer’s safety procedures.
- Unscrew/remove steering column covers to access the COM2005 module and its connectors.
- Unplug electrical connectors and release any retaining clips. If the radio/steering controls are separate, transfer the required control stalk or switch to the new unit as noted in the original description.
- Fit the replacement unit, reconnect all plugs and reassemble covers and steering wheel trim. Reconnect the battery and verify all functions: lights, fog lights, wipers, horn, cruise control and radio controls.
- If any function is inactive or intermittent after installation, check connector seating, wiring continuity and fuses before considering replacement.
Why The Part Most Commonly Fails
- Mechanical Wear: Frequent use of stalks causes switches and plastic components to wear or break over time.
- Electrical Contact Degradation: Oxidation or pitting of contacts can lead to intermittent operation of lights, wipers or horn.
- Water Ingress And Corrosion: Moisture reaching connectors or the module accelerates failures.
- Connector Or Harness Damage: Faulty wiring or damaged plugs from previous repairs or accidents causes loss of function.
- Internal Electronic Faults: Component failure on the COM2005 board (e.g., failed relays or semiconductors) can disable multiple functions.
Recommendations For Installation
- Perform installation in a dry, well-lit workshop with appropriate tools. Avoid forcing plastic clips to prevent breakage.
- Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s disassembly sequence for steering column and airbag components.
- Inspect mating connectors and wiring harness for corrosion or damage and repair as needed before fitting the unit.
- After installation, test all affected systems (lights, wipers, horn, cruise control, steering wheel/radio switches) on the road in a safe environment.
- If functions related to vehicle electronics remain inactive, diagnostic equipment capable of reading Citroën/Peugeot fault codes (e.g. DiagBox/Lexia) can help locate interaction issues in body modules or buses.
