Compatibility depends on the vehicle’s steering-column electronics version (COM2005). Check the part numbers below to match the original item.

Replacement Procedure

Basic replacement steps for a qualified mechanic or experienced DIYer:

• Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and wait at least 10 minutes to ensure airbag circuits are fully de-energized.
• Remove the steering-wheel trim and lower/upper column covers to access the stalk assembly.
• Unplug the electrical connector(s) from the old stalk and remove fixing screws/clips.
• Fit the replacement stalk, secure fasteners and reconnect the electrical connector(s).
• Reassemble covers and reconnect the battery. Perform a functional test of cruise-control functions and steering-column switches.

Installation Recommendations

• Always disconnect the battery before starting work and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s safety procedures to avoid airbag deployment or damage to electronics.
• Inspect connectors and wiring for corrosion or damage; clean contact surfaces if required.
• When reassembling, ensure no wiring is pinched and that all fasteners are torqued to the correct specification.
• After installation, verify cruise-control operation and any related warning lights; if errors persist, investigate steering-column control units and fault codes with appropriate diagnostic tools.

Why This Part Commonly Fails

Stalk switches are subject to frequent mechanical use and environmental exposure. Typical failure causes include worn or dirty electrical contacts, broken internal microswitches, mechanical wear of the stalk mechanism, moisture ingress and intermittent connector contacts. Symptoms often include non-responsive set/resume buttons, sporadic operation or complete loss of cruise-control commands.

Overview

This replacement cruise control stalk is designed for Citroën and Peugeot steering columns and is suitable for workshops and experienced DIY mechanics. It provides reliable control of set speed, resume and adjust functions and is compatible with vehicles using COM2003 and later on-board control modules. The part is commonly searched and ordered by its product numbers, so the listed codes below will help you find the correct unit quickly.

Key Features

• Direct plug-and-play connection to OEM wiring harness on compatible models (subject to controller type).
• Designed for vehicles from 2005 onward using COM2003/COM2005 and newer systems.
• Maintains original steering column ergonomics and lever feel.
• Suitable for professional installation or experienced DIY replacement.

Installation Guidance

Basic replacement steps for a competent mechanic or an experienced DIYer:

• Disconnect the vehicle battery before starting to avoid short circuits and to protect airbag and electronic modules.
• Remove the steering column trim panels to access the stalk mounting screws and wiring connector.
• Unplug the connector and remove the mounting screw(s) holding the old stalk in place.
• Fit the new stalk, secure it with screws, reconnect the wiring connector and reassemble the trim panels.
• Reconnect the battery and verify cruise control functions on a safe road test. If the vehicle uses advanced body modules, follow any required initialization procedure for the COM unit.

Recommendation For Installation

Always follow manufacturer procedures when removing trim and handling airbag-equipped steering columns. If the vehicle shows electrical faults after fitting, check connector contacts and fuses first. For vehicles integrated with complex COM or BCM modules, perform the final function check with appropriate diagnostic equipment. Use threadlocker on screws if recommended by the vehicle workshop manual.

Why This Part Fails Most Often

• Wear Of Internal Contacts: Frequent use causes contact wear and intermittent operation.
• Mechanical Damage: Physical stress or impact during steering column service can break the lever or its mounting points.
• Corrosion Or Moisture Ingress: Corrosion of connector pins leads to poor electrical contact and failure.
• Connector Or Wiring Issues: Damaged wiring or loose connectors cause loss of function before the stalk itself is considered faulty.
