Description
Steering column stalk controls DELPHI COM2000 for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. They operate the fog lights, trip computer, rear wiper, ESP, cruise control and car radio (the control stalk must be supplied or transferred).
High-quality replacement steering-column stalks for Peugeot and Citroën models using the DELPHI COM2000 system. This unit consolidates multiple vehicle functions into a compact, ergonomically placed module: fog lights, onboard computer controls, rear wiper, ESP activation, cruise control and radio/infotainment switch functions. Commonly searched by part numbers such as 96595089XT, 96574694XT or 6242C5, this component is aimed at professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics who need a reliable, direct-fit control solution.
Benefits

Installation & Recommendations
Follow a careful step-by-step replacement routine. Typical installation procedure:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting any work to avoid electrical damage and airbag system faults.
- Remove the steering column trim using plastic trim tools to avoid scratching covers.
- Disconnect electrical connectors and, if applicable, unclip the combination switch from the column.
- Transfer any required sub-components (e.g., radio or cruise stalk insert) if your replacement unit does not include them—many applications require the original control insert to be fitted to the new stalk.
- Refit the new stalk, reconnect all plugs and reassemble trim. Reconnect the battery and verify all functions (lights, wipers, cruise, trip computer, ESP warnings and radio controls).
Note for workshops: In most cases the COM2000 stalk is a mechanical/electrical swap and will restore functions immediately, but always verify full system operation after fitting. Use manufacturer repair procedures if any adaptive or initialization steps are required by the vehicle.
Why This Part Fails
Common failure causes include worn internal contacts from frequent use, moisture ingress and corrosion in the connector or switch body, mechanical breakage of plastic levers, and electrical faults caused by short circuits or damaged wiring. Symptoms are typically intermittent or total loss of specific functions (fog lights, rear wiper, cruise control or trip computer buttons). Age and exposure to humid conditions accelerate wear.
Practical Tips for Mechanics and DIYers
- Always compare product codes (listed above) with the part number you remove—many customers search by code for exact compatibility.
- If the replacement unit appears to lack a specific button insert (e.g., radio control), plan to transfer that small subcomponent from the old stalk to maintain full functionality.
- After installation, check for related faults such as airbag warning lights or steering wheel control inoperability—these can indicate connector seating issues or a need for additional configuration.
- Keep the area dry and treat connectors with dielectric grease if appropriate to reduce future corrosion.
