Citroën C2 C3 Window Control 96401469XT

Description

Window control for CITROEN C2 C3 and Pluriel cars
With range – sequential control

Part description

This window controller is intended for Citroën cars and solves a common problem where the window does not respond correctly, the control is intermittent or the sequential (coasting) control does not work. Thanks to the clearly traceable marking, it is also suitable for quick matching according to the part number during repairs in the workshop and during home replacement.

This is an electrical component from the category of window controls – before ordering it is crucial to compare the numbers and design of the connector with the existing part in the car.

Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for window controls it is changed as a complete switch in the door panel or center console (depending on design). The exact procedure may vary depending on the specific version of the car and equipment.

1) Before assembly

• Compare the part codes (especially 96401469XT) and any other numbers with the old driver.
• Check the design of the connector, the number of pins and the mechanical attachment (latches, shape of the frame/buttons).
• Verify that the original problem is not in the fuse, the wiring in the door grommet or the puller motor itself (a quick basic diagnosis will save unnecessary replacement).

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Set of plastic pry bars for removing upholstery/moulding
• Screwdrivers or bits according to the used connecting material in the car
• Electrical contact cleaner (recommended)
• A cloth or insulating tape to secure the bundle

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Turn off the ignition and disconnect the battery to be safe (this will reduce the risk of shorting electrical parts).
2. Prepare access to the controller – depending on the design, carefully pry the controller panel/frame with a plastic crowbar.
3. Release the controller from its mounting (latches/screws depending on the model).
4. Disconnect the electrical connector (don’t pull on the cables, but on the body of the connector; unlock the fuse of the connector first).
5. Check the connector and pins: they are not oxidized, loose or burnt.
6. If necessary, clean the contacts with cleaner and let them air out.
7. Plug the connector into the new controller and verify proper click.
8. Place the controller back into the panel and secure it in its original attachment points.
9. Reassemble the frame/panel so that there are no pinched cables left anywhere.
10. Connect the battery.
11. Turn on the ignition and test the window control function including sequential coasting (if equipped).

• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification

  • Retry dragging/undocking the window and see if the control is delayed or interrupted.
  • Verify that the panel fits properly and does not bend; check that the wiring is not in tension.
  • If the behavior of the window has changed (e.g. the range does not work), some designs may require a basic initialization of the window according to the manufacturer’s procedure.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Exchanging a part without checking the number → always compare 96401469XT and the design of the connector.
  • Damage to plastic latches → use plastic crowbars and do not like to “force” in the cold.
  • Incorrectly clicked connector → after connecting, lightly check the strength and fuse of the connector.
  • Ignoring the wiring problem → if the controller doesn’t help, focus on the door grommet and power/ground.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Wear of contacts due to frequent use (typical defect of switches).
  • Intrusion of moisture into the controller area and subsequent oxidation of the contacts.
  • Contamination (dust, spilled liquids) causing irregular operation of buttons.
  • Damage to the wiring/connector (loose pins, transition resistance, broken wires) that the controller can secondarily “remove”.
  • Mechanical damage to buttons or latches during careless disassembly.
