Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis (Citroën / Peugeot)
- Model: Peugeot 407; Citroën C3 (first generation)
- Product Codes: 96413719BJ; 6554Q3
- Additional Numbers: 6554Q3 | 96413719BJ
Compatibility
Intended For: Peugeot 407 and Citroën C3 (C3 I). Always check the part numbers 96413719BJ and 6554Q3 against the unit being replaced to confirm fitment. This controller is used in overhead console assemblies where the sunroof blind is operated by an electrical switch.
Function
The controller operates the sunroof blind (interior sunshade) by sending commands to the blind motor. It provides user input via a tactile switch assembly in the roof console and transmits the electrical signal to the blind actuator. Proper function ensures smooth opening, closing and position hold of the sunshade, preventing excessive sun glare and protecting the interior.
Replacement Procedure
- Prepare The Vehicle: Park on level ground and engage the parking brake.
- Disconnect Battery: For electrical safety, disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting work.
- Remove Trim: Carefully pry out the overhead console bezel or sunroof switch trim using appropriate trim tools to avoid damaging clips and headliner fabric.
- Unplug Connector: Unscrew or release any fasteners, slide out the switch module and unplug the electrical connector from the back of the controller.
- Install New Unit: Connect the replacement controller, seat it correctly and secure any retaining clips or screws.
- Reconnect Battery And Test: Reconnect the battery, verify all sunroof blind functions (open/close/stop) before reinstalling the trim. Cycle the blind several times to ensure correct operation.
- Reassemble: Once tested, refit the bezel and trim pieces, ensuring all clips are properly engaged.
Installation Recommendations
- Use Proper Tools: Employ plastic trim tools to avoid damaging the headliner and plastic parts.
- Check Connectors: Inspect electrical connectors and pins for corrosion or bent contacts. Clean contacts if needed before installation.
- Test Before Final Assembly: Always test the new controller’s functions before snapping the trim back into place.
- Observe Safety: Disconnect the battery before disassembly and follow any vehicle-specific procedures to avoid electrical shorts or airbag/harness damage.
Common Failure Causes
Sunroof blind controllers typically fail due to high usage and mechanical wear of the switch contacts, dirt and dust ingress, moisture or condensation in the headliner area, and connector corrosion. Repeated cycles can cause plastic sliders or mechanical detents to wear out, resulting in intermittent or non-responsive operation. Poor electrical contact often manifests as bouncing or unreliable switching that can be cured by replacing the controller assembly.
This controller is commonly searched by OE numbers 96413719BJ and 6554Q3 — buying the correct code significantly reduces installation time and ensures proper fit. Ideal choice for professional garages and independent mechanics looking to restore sunshade functionality quickly and reliably.
