Description
Rear window switch for Peugeot 406 and Citroën C3 and Pluriel
This rear window switch is a direct-fit electrical control designed for Peugeot 406 and Citroën C3 / C3 Pluriel vehicles. Ideal for professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts, the unit restores reliable operation of the rear power windows and is frequently searched for by part number 6552ZG. The compact design ensures easy replacement behind the door trim and provides the same switching function as the original equipment.
The switch operates the rear window motor, sending the up/down commands from the door control panel to the window regulator. Common failure modes include worn contact surfaces caused by prolonged use, corrosion or ingress of moisture, and mechanical damage to the actuator housing or mounting clips. Replacing a faulty switch typically eliminates intermittent operation, stuck windows, or total loss of function on the affected door.
