Description
Valeo COM2003 stalk controls 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 rigid as new ones but they function correctly.
Multifunction steering column stalk (combination switch) designed for Stellantis models, offering control over exterior lighting, onboard computer functions, rear wiper and rain sensor inputs, and the ESP interface. This unit is a direct-fit used replacement for Citroën C5 II and Peugeot 407 vehicles and is frequently searched for by part numbers such as 96592426XT, 6242S5 or 6239JQ — include these references when looking up compatibility or ordering.
For professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts, this stalk provides a cost-effective option to restore full functionality of the vehicle controls without replacing the entire steering column module. Because it is a used item, expect cosmetic wear and slightly reduced mechanical stiffness compared with a new original part; electrical functions are reported to operate correctly.

Installation Recommendations
- Disconnect the vehicle battery and wait at least 10–15 minutes before starting work to reduce the risk of airbag deployment and to clear residual system voltage.
- Remove the lower and upper steering column trim to access the stalk mounting screws and electrical connector. In some cases the airbag or steering wheel may need to be loosened or removed — follow vehicle manufacturer procedures and torque specifications.
- Unplug the electrical connector(s) carefully and note any locating tabs or alignment pins before removing the old stalk.
- Fit the replacement unit in the reverse order: secure mounting fasteners, reconnect wiring, reassemble trims and reconnect the battery. Verify all functions (indicators, wipers, fog lights, trip computer controls, rain sensor response, ESP signals) before returning the car to service.
- Use genuine replacement fasteners where required and check for any stored fault codes after installation; clear codes if appropriate and test drive to confirm correct operation.
Most Common Failure Reasons
- Contact Wear: Repeated use causes contact pitting or loss of conductivity, leading to intermittent function of indicators, wipers or other switches.
- Mechanical Fatigue: Plastic detents, levers or return springs can wear or break, which reduces stiffness and tactile feedback.
- Moisture and Corrosion: Water ingress or condensation can corrode connectors and internal contacts, causing electrical faults.
- Electrical Arcing: High-current loads (e.g., fog lights) can produce arcing at worn contacts, accelerating failure.
- Impact Damage: Collisions or rough handling during previous repairs can misalign or crack components inside the stalk assembly.
If you are replacing a malfunctioning stalk, matching the part numbers listed above increases the likelihood of correct fitment. This unit is recommended for technicians and experienced DIYers familiar with steering column work and airbag safety procedures.
