Description
Mirror Control Switch for Citroën and Peugeot Vehicles
High-quality replacement mirror control switch designed for Citroën and Peugeot models. Ideal for professional technicians and DIY enthusiasts, this switch restores reliable electric mirror adjustment and, depending on vehicle specification, mirror folding and heating control. Commonly searched by part numbers (e.g. 6545LC, 6545F9, 6545KS), this unit fits a range of Stellantis small and compact models and offers a cost-effective way to eliminate intermittent or non-functioning mirror controls.
Features And Function
This switch provides ergonomic control of exterior mirrors: left/right selection, multi-directional adjustment of the mirror glass and, on equipped vehicles, folding and heated mirror activation. It is a direct-fit replacement intended to match the original switch’s footprint and connector arrangement for easy installation. Suitable for use by auto electricians and experienced DIY mechanics who need a dependable control interface in the driver’s door.
Replacement Procedure
Typical replacement is straightforward for a trained mechanic:
- Disconnect the vehicle battery before starting to avoid short circuits and protect vehicle electronics.
- Remove the driver door trim or switch bezel using plastic trim tools to avoid damaging clips and trim surfaces.
- Carefully unclip and pull out the old switch, then unplug the electrical connector(s).
- Compare the connector and part codes to ensure correct variant, then plug the new switch in and secure it into the door bezel.
- Reconnect the battery and test all mirror functions: left/right selection, adjustment directions, folding (if fitted) and heating (if applicable).
- Reassemble the trim panel, ensuring all clips and fasteners are correctly seated.
Installation Recommendations
- Use dedicated trim removal tools to prevent damage to panels and retainers.
- Inspect the connector for corrosion or bent pins before installation; clean contacts if necessary.
- Test the new switch function before reinserting the door panel to save time if readjustments are needed.
- Avoid excessive force when seating the switch to prevent cracking plastic housings or breaking clips.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Mirror switches commonly fail due to age and wear of internal contacts from repeated use, moisture ingress from door seals allowing corrosion, or mechanical damage to the switch housing and actuating joystick. Intermittent function is often caused by dirty or oxidised contacts; complete failure can result from broken plastic parts or an electrical short in the switch. Addressing door water leaks and careful removal/installation helps prolong service life.
Compatibility
Typical vehicle applications include, but are not limited to:
- Citroën Berlingo B9 / Berlingo III
- Citroën C2
- Citroën C3 / C3 Pluriel
- Citroën Xsara Picasso
- Peugeot Partner III / Partner Tepee

If the switch shows intermittent behaviour, start with a visual inspection and contact cleaning before full replacement; however, when mechanical parts are broken or electronic contacts are burnt, replacement is the recommended solution to restore full mirror functionality.
