Description
Product Overview
This ESP and Child Lock Switch is specially designed for use in Peugeot 407 vehicles, providing crucial control over the vehicle’s Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and child safety locks. It is a vital component in ensuring enhanced vehicle stability and passenger safety, making it an essential part for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts working on Citroën and Peugeot cars.
Function and Application
The switch controls the activation and deactivation of the ESP system, which helps maintain vehicle control during difficult driving conditions by preventing skidding. Additionally, it manages the child lock mechanism, ensuring safety for younger passengers by disabling rear door controls from the inside.
Typically installed within the dashboard control panel or door frame, the switch can wear out over time due to frequent use or electrical issues, potentially causing erratic behavior of the ESP system or child lock malfunctions. Replacing the switch ensures reliable functionality and restores full control over these safety features.
Installation Notes
Replacing the switch generally involves removing the trim or panel where the switch is mounted, disconnecting the wiring harness, and swapping it with the new part. Care should be taken to avoid damaging surrounding components and to properly reconnect electrical connectors to maintain system integrity.
