Description
Steering-column stalk switches DELPHI COM2000 for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. They control fog lights, front and rear wipers, car radio, trip computer and ESP. Radio and cruise-control stalks can be purchased separately.
Overview
High-quality Delphi COM2000 steering-column stalks designed for selected Citroën and Peugeot models. This compact control module integrates multiple functions into the stalk assembly — lighting (including fog lights), front and rear wiper control, onboard computer navigation through the instrument cluster, and interaction with the ESP system. The unit is commonly fitted on PSA (Stellantis) platforms and is often referenced by part numbers when searching for replacements.
Why Choose This Part
- Direct-fit replacement for compatible vehicles—searchable by product codes for fast identification.
- Restores lost functions such as wipers, fog lights and onboard control without replacing larger body modules.
- Cost-effective repair option for garages and DIY mechanics familiar with PSA electrics.

Typical Symptoms
Common indications of a failing COM2000 stalk unit include intermittent or complete loss of wiper function (front or rear), fog lights that will not switch on, unresponsive steering-column controls for the trip computer or radio, and sporadic ESP warnings or related behavior. Mechanical breakage of the stalk or worn internal contacts produce tactile looseness or inconsistent switching.
Why The Part Usually Fails
Failures are typically caused by mechanical wear of the internal switch contacts, oxidation/corrosion from moisture ingress, contamination from spilled liquids, or broken plastic components in the stalk mechanism. High-cycle components such as wiper and indicator switches are subject to repeated mechanical stress and contact erosion, which leads to intermittent electrical connections and eventual failure.
Installation Recommendations
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before any work to avoid short circuits and to protect electronic modules.
- Remove the steering-column trim panels to access the stalk assembly. Take care with retaining clips and alignment pins to avoid damage.
- Unplug all electrical connectors and note locking tabs; inspect connectors for corrosion or bent pins before fitting the new unit.
- Fit the replacement stalk, reconnect connectors and reassemble trim. Perform basic function checks (wipers, fog lights, switches) before finalizing reassembly.
- When replacing components on vehicles with integrated body control units, ensure any required coding or configuration is completed following manufacturer procedures.
How Replacement Is Performed
1) Park vehicle on level ground, set handbrake and remove key. 2) Disconnect the battery negative terminal and wait a few minutes. 3) Remove lower and upper steering-column covers (typically held by screws/clips). 4) Unplug wiring connectors from the stalk assembly and release any retaining screws. 5) Fit the new stalk in reverse order, securing mechanical fastenings and electrical connectors. 6) Reconnect battery and perform function test of all controlled systems.
Compatibility And Search Tips
Customers and workshops often search by the listed product codes (e.g. 96605652XT / 6242C4). Use these reference numbers combined with the vehicle model and year to confirm fitment. The COM2000 assembly is a common spare for PSA models but always verify the physical connector layout and mounting before purchase.
Note For Professionals
This part is targeted at auto repair shops and experienced DIY mechanics. If additional radio or cruise-control stalks are required, these can be ordered separately to restore full functionality where applicable.
