Start-Stop Unit Bracket For Citroën, Peugeot And DS Vehicles
Description
This Start-Stop unit bracket is a direct-fit mounting support designed for Citroën, Peugeot and DS models. It secures the Start-Stop control module in its original position, preventing vibration, movement and connector stress. The part is commonly searched by its OEM reference 9672696280 and is intended for use by professional technicians and competent DIY mechanics performing repairs or replacements on the Start-Stop system.
Why This Part Matters
A correctly fitted bracket keeps the Start-Stop module stable and protects electrical connections from fatigue and accidental damage. Replacing a worn or broken bracket restores proper alignment, reduces intermittent electrical faults and helps avoid extra strain on wiring and connectors when the vehicle is in motion.

Recommended Installation
For safe and reliable replacement follow these steps and recommendations:
- Disconnect The Battery Before Work: Always isolate the battery before beginning to prevent electrical damage or short circuits.
- Access The Mounting Location: Remove relevant interior trim or engine-bay covers to reach the Start-Stop unit and its bracket—keep fasteners organized for reassembly.
- Support The Control Unit: When removing the bracket, support the Start-Stop module so connectors and wiring are not strained.
- Fit And Secure The New Bracket: Align the bracket to original mounting points and torque fasteners to manufacturer recommendations. Reconnect any connectors and restore trim panels.
- Verify Operation: After reconnection, check Start-Stop system proper function during a controlled test drive or engine run-up sequence.
Common Failure Causes
- Mechanical Fatigue: Plastic or metal mounting points can crack or deform over time due to vibration and thermal cycling.
- Impact Damage: Accidental impacts during repairs or collisions can break the bracket.
- Corrosion And Wear: Road salt and moisture can corrode fixing points or fasteners, leading to looseness.
- Improper Previous Installation: Over-tightening or misalignment from earlier repairs can weaken the part and stress the control unit.
Notes For Professionals And DIYers
Searches for this part are frequently performed by OEM number (9672696280). Replacing the bracket is a cost-effective measure when the Start-Stop control unit itself is functioning correctly. If you observe intermittent Start-Stop faults after bracket replacement, inspect connector seating, wiring harness condition and grounding points before concluding the control module is defective.
