Description
Steering column stalk controllers DELPHI COM 2000 for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. They operate fog lights, the onboard trip computer, the wiper sensor, the horn, cruise control and the car radio (radio control stalk must be supplied or transferred).
This used steering column stalk assembly is a direct-fit replacement for a range of PSA/Stellantis models and is often searched by its product codes 96542558XT, 6242F9 or 6239V7. Designed for mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts, the unit restores essential multifunction controls at the steering column — from lighting and wipers to cruise and audio controls — helping to eliminate intermittent faults, non-responsive switches or missing functions after an accident or wear.
How The Part Functions
The multifunction stalks combine several electrical switches and sensors into one compact module mounted on the steering column. Functions include activation of fog lights, inputs to the onboard trip computer, signal from the rain/wiper sensor, horn circuit, cruise-control commands and radio control inputs (where applicable). Mechanical levers operate internal contacts and microswitches; electrical signals are then sent through the column wiring to the vehicle control units.
How To Replace
- Disconnect The Battery: Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting to avoid short circuits and to prevent airbag deployment.
- Remove Steering Column Covers: Unscrew and separate the upper and lower plastic shrouds to access the stalk assembly.
- Disconnect Electrical Connectors: Carefully unplug the multi-pin connectors. Do not pull on wiring—use the connector bodies.
- Unscrew The Stalk Assembly: Remove fixation screws and slide the unit off the column. In some models the steering wheel must be centered or slightly removed to gain access.
- Transfer Subcomponents If Needed: Radio control stalks or specific inserts may need to be transferred from the old unit to the new one.
- Install And Test: Refit in reverse order, reconnect the battery and verify all functions (lights, wipers, horn, cruise, radio). Check for any fault codes and clear if necessary.

Installation Recommendations
- Always Disconnect The Battery Before Work To Prevent Short Circuits And Airbag Deployment.
- Use Correct Tools And Avoid Excessive Force On Plastic Covers And Connectors.
- Inspect Wiring And Connector Pins For Corrosion Or Damage; Clean Contacts With Appropriate Electronic Cleaner If Needed.
- Transfer Any Required Control Inserts (For Example The Radio Control Stalk) From The Old Unit If They Are Not Included.
- After Installation, Verify All Functions And Clear Any Related Fault Codes With Diagnostic Equipment.
Most Common Reasons For Failure
- Mechanical Wear: Repeated use causes microswitches and plastic parts to wear or break, leading to intermittent or lost functions.
- Contamination And Corrosion: Moisture ingress or dirt on contacts produces poor conductivity and unreliable switching.
- Electrical Faults: Frayed wiring, broken connector pins or short circuits can interrupt signals to vehicle control units.
- Impact Damage: Accidents or sudden impacts to the steering column area can deform or break the stalk assembly.
