ESP Switches Citroën Peugeot 96592426XT 6242S5

Description

Valeo COM2003 stalk switches for CITROËN C5 II and PEUGEOT 407 with ESP. They control fog lights, trip computer, rear wiper, rain sensor and ESP. This is a used part; the switches may not be as rigid as new ones but function correctly.

Multifunction steering column stalk (Valeo COM2003) designed for vehicles equipped with electronic stability control (ESP). The module integrates control for exterior fog lights, the on-board trip computer, rear wiper operation, rain sensor input and ESP-related commands. Manufactured by Valeo and commonly fitted on Citroën C5 II and Peugeot 407 platforms, this unit is frequently replaced by workshops and DIY enthusiasts when stalk functions become intermittent or mechanically loose.

Installation Recommendations

Always disconnect the vehicle battery before starting to avoid short circuits and accidental airbag deployment. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s procedure for steering wheel and airbag removal. Handle connectors and ribbon cables carefully to avoid damage. After installation, verify all functions (lights, wipers, rain sensor input, trip computer responses and ESP indicators) on the vehicle diagnostic or by direct operation. If the vehicle displays fault codes, clear them and re-check functionality.

Replacement Procedure

1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes for residual power to dissipate.
2. Remove the steering wheel airbag following the manufacturer’s safety instructions.
3. Unscrew and remove the steering wheel (mark orientation for correct reassembly).
4. Remove upper and lower steering column covers to access the stalk assembly.
5. Disconnect electrical connectors and release retaining clips securing the stalk module.
6. Install the replacement stalk, reconnect connectors, reassemble covers and steering wheel in reverse order.
7. Reconnect battery and verify all stalk functions and warning lights. Reset any stored faults if necessary.

Common Failure Reasons

• Wear Of Internal Contacts: Frequent use of switches and rotary controls causes contact wear and intermittent signals.
• Moisture And Corrosion: Water ingress or condensation can corrode contacts or connectors, especially in older cars.
• Mechanical Damage: Rough handling during steering wheel/airbag removal or impact damage can break plastic levers or internal mounts.
• Electrical Faults: Short circuits or connector faults can cause partial function loss (e.g., only one wiper speed or fog light command missing).

Lifespan And Maintenance

There is no fixed replacement interval. Failures typically appear after many years of service or at high mileage. Regular inspection and careful handling during steering work extend service life. If controls become sticky, intermittent or mechanically loose, replacement is recommended to restore reliable operation.

Notes For Mechanics And DIYers

The part is often searched by the product codes listed above — entering these numbers in catalogues or search engines increases the chance of finding the correct unit quickly. Because this is a used part, expect minor signs of wear; functionality should be verified immediately after fitment.
