Drivers under the steering wheel Delphi COM2000 for Citroën/Peugeot – original used part with codes 96451821ZL and 6242G5. It is a complete module under the steering wheel (switch below the steering wheel), which ensures everyday control of lights and wipers. The ideal replacement for a fault of the direction lights, wipers or horn, when it is often found according to code 6242G5 / 96451821ZL.

Module function: control of dipped/long -distance and fog lights, rudders, front and rear wiper and washer, horn and on -board computer. It also supports automatic wiper modes (in rain sensor cars).

Compatibility according to models: Peugeot 206, 307 I, 406, 807 and Citroën C5 I, C8, Berlingo II, Partner II, Xsara and Xsara Picasso. Always verify the match by the part number and connectors to your original unit, because the dog used multiple variants of COM2000 according to the equipment.

Typical manifestations of defects and reasons of exchange: spontaneous flashing or ripples, non -functional horn, irregular wiper operation, non -return lever to the basic position or occasional loss of contact. The cause is mechanical wear of internal contacts and microswitches due to age and frequent use.

Installation notes: The replacement takes place under the steering wheel. Always disconnect the battery for safety reasons and wait a few minutes before dismantling the airbag. After removing the steering wheel, the COM2000 is released from the shaft and disconnects the connectors. During the installation, pay attention to the correct centenance and locking of the unit. In most cases, the plug & play; For some cars, the basic settings/configuration of functions via the diameter/lexia may be required after assembly (eg the presence of fog lights or rear wiper is controlled by BSI configuration).

technical information

• Manufacturer: Delphi (PSA Citroën/Peugeot)
• model: COM2000 – module lever under the steering wheel
• Product codes: 96451821zl, 6242G5
• Other numbers: 96 451 821 ZL, 6242.G5, COM2000

Key Features

The COM2000 stalk control unit centralises multiple steering-column functions into a single module. Typical capabilities include:

• Left and right indicators (turn signals)
• Main and dipped beam control and fog light switching
• Horn operation
• Trip computer/navigation controls mounted on the stalks
• Front and rear windshield wiper control; some variants support a rain sensor for automatic wiping

Symptoms & Common Causes

Faults in this module commonly present as: spontaneous or stuck indicators, intermittent or unexpected wiper activation, non-functioning horn, and loss of fog light or trip computer control. Causes are usually wear of contact surfaces, internal switch fatigue, or mechanical failure of the stalk mechanisms. Because many functions route through the COM2000, a failing unit can affect several systems at once.

Fitment & Compatibility

This Delphi COM2000 unit (OEM 96574675XT / 6242G5) is typically fitted to a range of PSA models. Common applications include Peugeot 206, 307 (I), 406, 807, Partner II and Citroën C5 (I), C8, Berlingo II and Xsara. Multiple COM2000 variants exist depending on equipment level (fog lights, rear wiper, rain sensor, connector type), so always confirm compatibility by matching the OEM part number 96574675XT or 6242G5 and by checking the connector layout on the vehicle.

Installation — Brief Guide

Only qualified personnel or experienced DIYers should perform this replacement. Basic steps:

• Disconnect the battery and wait the recommended time to ensure airbag circuits are de-energised.
• Remove the driver airbag and steering wheel following the vehicle manufacturer procedure.
• Remove the steering column trim panels to expose the COM2000 module.
• Unbolt or unclip the original COM2000, disconnect all wiring harness connectors and remove the unit.
• Install the new Delphi module, ensuring connectors are fully engaged and the module is seated correctly.
• Reassemble trims, reinstall the steering wheel and airbag, reconnect the battery and verify all functions: indicators, lights, horn, trip computer and wipers.

Take care with connector alignment and locking tabs; incorrect seating can cause intermittent faults or failure to communicate with vehicle systems.

Technical Information

• Manufacturer: Delphi
• Model: COM2000 (steering column stalk controls)
• Product Codes: 96574675XT; 6242G5 (PSA 6242.G5)

This original PSA-compatible unit helps retain factory behaviour of steering column controls and reduces the risk of electrical incompatibilities. For correct selection, always rely on the OEM numbers 96574675XT / 6242G5 and confirm the connector appearance and vehicle equipment (fog lights, rear wiper, rain sensor) before purchase.

Functions And Benefits:

• Left Stalk: Indicator operation, dip/main beam switching, fog light control.
• Right Stalk: Front and rear wiper control, washer activation and AUTO wipe modes when a rain sensor is present.
• Buttons: Horn activation and onboard computer controls depending on vehicle equipment.
• Integrated COM2000 Housing: Ensures communication with the vehicle BSI/BCM when the matching OEM part number is used.

Typical Symptoms Indicating Replacement:

• Wipers operate intermittently, run unexpectedly or intermittent mode fails.
• Horn fails to sound, indicator stalk does not return or indicators activate the wrong side.
• Fog lights, headlight switching or onboard computer controls become unresponsive.
• In some vehicles wear of the internal clock spring/connector in the module may cause additional faults or airbag warnings.

Installation And Recommendations:

• Always disconnect the battery and wait several minutes before working on the steering column to avoid airbag deployment risk.
• Remove the airbag and steering wheel, unfasten the COM2000 module screws on the steering column and disconnect the electrical connectors.
• Fit the replacement COM2000 with the identical part number (96477521XT / 6242G5) for plug&play installation without additional coding in most cases.
• After installation, verify all functions: lights, indicators, wipers, washer, horn and onboard computer controls.

Compatibility: Units with these codes are commonly fitted to selected versions of Peugeot 206, 307, 406, 807 and Citroën C5 (I), C8, Xsara, Xsara Picasso. Always confirm fitment by checking the OEM code on your existing module or by VIN verification.
