Description
Steering column controls, Delphi multifunction stalk block for Peugeot 206 CC and 307 CC. Controls headlights, fog lights, ESP, front wipers, trip computer and horn. Cruise control and car radio functions require the addition or transfer of the corresponding stalk.
The Delphi multifunction stalk is a direct-fit steering column control unit for Peugeot 206 CC and 307 CC models. It consolidates lighting, wiper and driver assistance controls into a single compact block, improving ergonomics and restoring full functionality to the steering column. Ideal for professional workshops and DIY mechanics searching by product code (96593490XT, 96605589XT, 624296).
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Delphi
- Model: Peugeot 206 CC; Peugeot 307 CC
- Product Codes: 96593490XT, 96605589XT, 624296
- Other Numbers: Not specified
Functions
Provides integrated control of the following systems:
- Headlights (dipped/main beam switching)
- Fog Lights
- ESP (electronic stability program) switch
- Front Wipers (including intermittent settings)
- Instrument Cluster/Trip Computer controls
- Horn
- Cruise Control and Radio Controls (require separate/transferable stalk to enable these functions)
Replacement Procedure (Overview)
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes to allow airbag system capacitors to discharge.
- Remove the steering wheel airbag following the manufacturer procedure and secure it safely.
- Mark steering wheel alignment before removal to ensure correct reinstallation.
- Remove steering column trim panels and unscrew the mounting fasteners securing the stalk block.
- Carefully unplug all electrical connectors from the multifunction block, noting connector positions.
- Transfer any required stalks or controls (cruise/radio) from the old unit if necessary.
- Install the new unit, reconnect connectors, reassemble trim, reinstall steering wheel and airbag, reconnect the battery.
- Perform a full function check of lights, wipers, horn, ESP switch and trip computer. If any electronic adaptation or coding is required, follow the manufacturer procedure.
Installation Recommendations
- Always disconnect the battery before starting work and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s safety instructions to avoid damage to the airbag or electronic systems.
- Use appropriate tools to avoid damaging trim and steering column components; mark alignment points to maintain steering geometry.
- Inspect electrical connectors and wiring for corrosion or damage; clean contacts and apply dielectric grease if appropriate.
- When transferring cruise control or radio stalks, ensure mechanical compatibility and secure mounting to avoid intermittent faults.
- After installation, verify all functions and, if required by the vehicle, perform any resets or adaptations as described in workshop documentation.
Why This Part Commonly Fails
- Mechanical Wear: Frequent use of stalks causes internal contact wear and eventual loss of reliable switching.
- Electrical Contact Degradation: Oxidation or carbon buildup on contact surfaces leads to intermittent operation of lights, wipers or horn.
- Moisture Ingress: Leaks or condensation around the steering column can corrode connectors and control contacts.
- Physical Damage: Removal/installation without proper care, or impact during accidents, can crack plastic levers or break mounting points.
- Wiring And Connector Issues: Chafing, broken wires or loose connector pins often cause erratic behavior.
- Missing/Incorrect Stalks For Optional Functions: Cruise control and radio functions will not operate unless the corresponding stalk is present and correctly fitted.
Compatibility And Notes
Intended for Peugeot 206 CC and Peugeot 307 CC models. Many customers search by product codes 96593490XT, 96605589XT or 624296 — use these codes to confirm the correct item for your vehicle. Ensure transferred stalks for cruise control or radio are compatible when restoring those features.
