Description
COM 2000 steering column stalk switches for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. They control fog lights, ESP, front and rear wipers, headlights, indicators, horn, cruise control and car radio.
High-quality replacement steering column stalk switches designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who service Citroën and Peugeot models. This COM 2000 unit consolidates multiple vehicle controls into one compact assembly, making diagnosis and replacement straightforward. The part is often searched for by product number (e.g. 96542560XT), so having the correct code on hand speeds up ordering and fitment. The switch block provides reliable tactile feel for indicator and wiper stalks and transmits switch signals to the vehicle’s comfort electronics for functions such as lighting, wipers and cruise control.

Always match the product code printed on your old unit with the Product Codes / Additional Numbers listed above to ensure correct fitment.
Installation Recommendation
- Disconnect the vehicle battery before starting work and wait at least 10 minutes to allow systems to power down and airbags to discharge.
- Remove lower and upper steering column covers to access the stalk assembly. In some models removal of the steering wheel may be required; follow the manufacturer’s procedure to avoid airbag damage.
- Unplug electrical connectors from the stalk assembly, note connector orientations and any locking tabs. Remove retaining screws or clips and extract the old unit.
- Install the replacement unit in reverse order. Ensure all connectors are fully seated and locking clips engaged. Refit covers and reconnect the battery.
- After installation check all functions (indicators, wipers, lights, horn, cruise control, radio controls) for correct operation. If any functions are inactive, recheck connectors and associated fuses.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
- Mechanical wear: Frequent use of stalks leads to internal contact wear and loss of tactile feel or intermittent operation.
- Electrical contact degradation: Oxidation or carbon build-up on switch contacts causes unreliable signals.
- Moisture Ingress: Water or condensation can corrode internal contacts or cause short circuits.
- Physical Damage: Impact or excessive force can break stalks or mounting points.
- Aging Plastics: Brittle plastic components may crack over time, especially in older vehicles.
Tips For Diagnostics
- Before replacing the switch, check related fuses and wiring for continuity to rule out simple faults.
- Use a multimeter to test switch continuity while operating stalks to confirm failing contacts.
- Inspect connectors for corrosion, bent pins or poor seating which may mimic a faulty stalk.
- If intermittent faults persist after replacement, inspect the vehicle’s comfort module (BSI) fault codes as the module interprets the stalk signals.
Notes
This switch block is a common-sourced component for multiple Citroën and Peugeot models. It is typically searched by its part number (e.g. 96542560XT and the alternative numbers provided). Ensure the number on your old unit matches one of the listed codes for best fitment results.
