Description
Multifunction steering column stalks Delphi COM2003 for Citroën C8 and Peugeot 807 from 2005. They control fog lights, trip computer, ESP, rear wiper, cruise control and car radio (controller must be added or transferred).
These original-style steering column stalks are designed for professional workshops and DIY enthusiasts who maintain Citroën C8 and Peugeot 807 vehicles. The unit integrates multiple functions into two compact levers mounted under the steering wheel, giving reliable control over lighting, driver assistance and convenience features. Commonly searched by part numbers 96605603XT and 6242A8, this assembly is ideal when individual switches become intermittent, physical levers wear or electronic contacts fail.

Installation Recommendations
Replacement of the steering column stalks is a moderate-complexity job. Recommended steps:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 2 minutes to disable the airbag system.
- Remove the lower and upper steering column covers to access the stalk mounting screws. On some models the steering wheel or airbag module must be removed for full access—only perform airbag removal if you are trained and follow safety procedures.
- Unplug the electrical connectors from the stalk assembly and release any retaining clips or screws.
- Install the new stalk assembly, reconnect all plugs, and reassemble column covers. Verify all functions (fog lights, trip computer, ESP indicators, rear wiper, cruise control and radio controls) before road testing.
- If radio or cruise functions do not operate after swap, the controller/module may need to be transferred from the old stalk or added separately, as noted in the product description.
Most Common Failure Reasons
- Wear Of Internal Contacts: Repeated use causes contact erosion and intermittent switching, especially for frequently used functions like indicators and wipers.
- Moisture And Corrosion: Water ingress or condensation can corrode pins and connectors, leading to erratic behavior.
- Mechanical Damage: Plastic levers or detents can crack or break from impact or heavy use.
- Connector Problems: Loose or oxidised wiring plugs at the stalk reduce signal reliability.
- Age-Related Degradation: Over years, springs and internal mechanisms lose tension, causing poor tactile feedback or failure to return to neutral.
When replacing, search by the OEM numbers 96605603XT or 6242A8 to quickly find compatible units for Citroën C8 and Peugeot 807. Proper diagnosis—verifying that the fault is inside the stalk assembly and not the vehicle wiring or a related module—saves time during repair.
