Description
BSM DELPHI R05-00 unit for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. It may have a cracked mounting tab on the casing which does not affect functionality. Unit tested and is fully functional.
This Delphi BSM (Body System Module) is a direct-fit electrical control unit commonly used on a range of Citroën and Peugeot models. Designed for professional workshops and DIY mechanics, the unit replaces the vehicle’s comfort/electrical control module that manages multiple body functions. Often searched by part numbers, it offers a cost-effective solution when the original BSM shows faults. Clear product codes and OEM references are included below to simplify identification and ordering.
Technical Information

Application
Typical fitment includes Citroën Berlingo (B9), Peugeot Partner / Partner Tepee and Peugeot 308, among other PSA group vehicles that use the Delphi R05 series BSM. Always verify fitment by matching the part numbers listed above with the unit on the vehicle.
Function And Symptoms
The BSM is responsible for a range of comfort and body electrical functions such as central locking, interior lighting, alarm signals, wiper/washer control, indicator logic and general vehicle body-to-bus communication. Faulty BSM behaviour can present as intermittent or permanent loss of one or more of these functions, warning lamps, or communication errors on diagnostic scanners.
Installation Recommendations
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait a few minutes before starting work to avoid short circuits and protect electronics.
- Access the BSM by removing the appropriate trim panels (typically located behind glovebox or under dash, depending on model).
- Carefully unplug all electrical connectors and check connector pins for corrosion or damage before refitting.
- Fit the replacement unit, secure mounting points (if any cracked tabs exist on the casing, ensure unit is firmly supported to prevent vibration).
- Reconnect battery and perform a full function check. Use manufacturer-level diagnostic equipment (e.g., Diagbox/Lexia or equivalent) to read and clear fault codes and to perform any required module configuration or coding.
- Verify immobiliser and central locking operation, and re-check all body functions after a short test drive.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Common causes of BSM failure include moisture ingress and connector corrosion, electrical surges or unstable battery/charging systems, internal solder joint fatigue from vibration and thermal cycling, and physical damage to mounting points or connectors. The product note indicates that a mounting tab on the casing may be cracked — this is cosmetic if the unit is otherwise intact, but ensure secure mounting to avoid stress on connectors.
For workshops and DIY mechanics: when replacing the BSM, inspect the vehicle wiring and fuses for root causes (corrosion, water leaks, poor grounding, or charging system faults) to prevent premature failure of the new unit.
