Description
VALEO COM2003 stalk controllers for Citroën C5 II and Peugeot 407 ESP. They control fog lights, trip computer, rear wipers, rain sensor and ESP. This is a used part; the stalks will not be as firm as new ones, but they function correctly.
High-quality replacement multifunction stalks designed for workshops and experienced DIYers who maintain Stellantis vehicles. These original-style Valeo COM2003 switches restore full control over exterior lighting, wipers and onboard functions while matching original electrical interfaces. Ideal when searching by part number — customers frequently look for 96496662XT, 6242S5, 6239JQ or COM2003.

Function
Multifunction stalk assembly controls fog lights, trip computer inputs, rear wiper operation, rain sensor input and the ESP-related switch function. The module transmits switch signals to the vehicle’s body control unit and driver information systems. On these models the stalk integrates mechanical detents and electrical contacts to deliver tactile feedback for each function.
Installation Recommendations
Before any work, disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes to allow the airbag system to de-energize. Remove the steering column trim panels to access the stalk connectors. Unplug electrical connectors and release retaining clips, then remove the old stalk and fit the replacement in reverse order. Check all functions (lights, wipers, trip computer, rain sensor and ESP switch) after reassembly. If unsure about airbag or steering wheel procedures, have the replacement performed by a professional.
Why It Fails Most Often
Failures typically stem from mechanical wear of the internal detents and springs, contaminated or oxidized electrical contacts, moisture ingress and repeated heavy use. Common symptoms include intermittent operation, loose or sticky stalk feel and loss of specific functions (e.g., intermittent wiper or fog light operation). Because this is a used unit, a slightly reduced tactile firmness compared to new parts is normal.
Practical Notes For Buyers
Part is suited for professional repairs or experienced DIY replacement on Citroën C5 II and Peugeot 407 cars equipped with the COM2003 stalk. Search by the listed part numbers to find this exact reference quickly. After fitting, verify all switch positions and error messages on the instrument cluster to ensure correct communication with vehicle systems.
