Description
Window switch with bezel for Stellantis vehicles
Part description
The used Citroën Peugeot window switch with bezel is a replacement part for repairing a faulty or damaged window control. The product numbers 98044803ZD and 98166778ZD are particularly important when looking for a replacement. The part includes a bezel, which is also useful when replacing a switch with a damaged surrounding trim.
The documentation lists the part for the Citroën Berlingo K9, PEUGEOT RIFTER, FIAT DOBLO III, OPEL COMBO E K9 and Toyota ProAce City models. Before selecting a part, compare the markings on the original switch, the connector design, button layout and bezel shape. The model name alone may not distinguish all versions of the control.

Installation recommendations
The following general procedure applies to this type of electrical part. The exact method for releasing the bezel, accessing the connector and, if necessary, setting the windows after replacement depends on the specific model and vehicle version. Follow the manufacturer’s service procedure.
1) Before installation
- Compare the product markings, dimensions and shape of the bezel, mounting points, button layout and connector design with the old part.
- Inspect the used switch: the bezel and clips must not be cracked, the contacts must not be bent or corroded, and the buttons should move without sticking.
- Inspect the connector and accessible wiring in the vehicle. A faulty window may also be caused by the power supply, wiring or window mechanism, not just the switch.
2) Tools and materials required
- Plastic trim removal tools for interior panels.
- Suitable hand tools for the actual type of fastener.
- A soft protective pad and a clean, dry cloth.
- If necessary, a multimeter for checking the electrical circuit, to be used by someone familiar with its wiring.
3) Step-by-step installation procedure
- Park the vehicle safely and, before switching it off, position the windows so their operation can be checked safely later.
- Switch off the ignition and remove the key, or move the keyless remote away from the vehicle.
- Follow the manufacturer’s procedure for allowing the electronics to go to sleep and disconnecting the battery before working with electrical connectors.
- Protect the surrounding visible surfaces from scratches and consult the service documentation to determine how the switch is secured.
- Release the necessary fasteners or trim. Work gradually with a plastic trim tool and do not twist the bezel forcefully.
- Carefully pull the switch out only far enough to avoid putting tension on the wiring.
- Release the connector lock and disconnect the connector by its body, not by pulling on the wires.
- Compare the two parts side by side and inspect the connector in the vehicle. Resolve any moisture, corrosion or wiring damage before connecting the replacement.
- Connect the replacement switch. The connector must fit without excessive force, and its lock must engage.
- Position the wiring so it is not pinched, and fit the switch with its bezel into the original mounting. Reinstall the removed trim components.
- Restore the power supply according to the manufacturer’s procedure and check operation. If the specific vehicle requires window initialization, follow the instructions in its manual.
4) Post-installation checks and function verification
- With the vehicle stationary, test all buttons in turn and check that the windows move in the corresponding directions. Keep the area around the moving glass clear.
- Make sure the buttons do not remain pressed, the bezel is securely seated and no trim component obstructs operation.
- If the vehicle is equipped with automatic window operation or anti-pinch protection, check these functions according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not test the protection with any part of your body.
- A test drive is generally not required to check basic switch operation; test the windows safely while the vehicle is stationary.
5) Common installation mistakes and how to avoid them
- Choosing based on appearance alone: also compare the part numbers, connector, buttons and mounting.
- Breaking the bezel clips: first determine how the part is secured and do not use excessive force.
- Pulling on the wires: disconnect the connector only after releasing the lock, and hold it by its body.
- Connector not fully engaged or wiring pinched: check that the connector is locked and the wiring is free before fully seating the part.
- Overlooking another fault: if the problem persists, check the related electrical circuit and window mechanism instead of repeatedly replacing the switch.
Reasons why the part gets damaged
Common causes of faults in window switches in general include:
- Wear to the buttons and contacts over prolonged use, which may cause an inconsistent response when pressed.
- Water or spilled liquids getting inside, leading to corroded contacts and electrical component failures.
- Dust and dirt, which can make the buttons harder to move.
- Rough handling or careless removal, which can damage the bezel, clips or control components themselves.
- Poor contact in the connector, which can cause intermittent operation or localized heating of the connections.
