Description
Multifunction COM2000 control block for Citroën and PEUGEOT vehicles. Controls lights, fog lights, car radio, cruise control and car radio (the controller must be supplied or transferred), front wipers
Overview
This multifunction COM2000 stalk control unit is a direct-fit electromechanical module used on a range of Citroën and Peugeot models. It consolidates multiple steering-column controls into a single block, enabling management of exterior lights, fog lamps, radio controls, cruise control functions and front wiper operation. Supplied as a used/compatible unit to replace a faulty stalk assembly; the radio control module may need to be added or transferred from the original unit to restore full functionality.

Function
The COM2000 multifunction block centralizes control signals from the driver to various vehicle systems: switching low/high beam and parking lights, operating front fog lamps, sending commands for the audio system (when radio control is present), activating and adjusting cruise control, and controlling front wiper speeds/intervals. The unit translates mechanical stalk movements into electrical signals sent to the vehicle’s body control modules.
Typical Faults And Causes
Failures usually present as intermittent or complete loss of one or more functions: lights not switching, fog lamps inoperative, wipers stuck or working only on certain speeds, cruise control not engaging, or radio steering controls non-functional. Common causes include internal contact wear from repeated use, contamination or moisture ingress causing corrosion, broken or fatigued internal plastic parts, and connector/pin corrosion in the wiring harness. Electrical surges or improper removal/installation can also damage internal electronics.
Replacement / Installation
Basic replacement steps for a trained mechanic or experienced DIYer:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before any work to prevent short circuits and avoid damage to vehicle electronics.
- Remove steering column trim panels to access the stalk assembly. This typically requires removing a few screws and gently unclipping the covers.
- Unplug the multi-pin connector(s) from the COM2000 unit and release any retaining clips or screws holding the stalk block in place.
- If the radio/steering-audio control is integrated, either transfer the small radio control module from the old stalk to the new one or ensure the replacement unit contains the required module.
- Install the new unit, reconnect connectors and reassemble the steering column covers. Reconnect the battery and verify all functions: lights, fog lights, wipers, radio controls and cruise control.
Installation Recommendations
- Always Disconnect The Battery Before Starting Work.
- Inspect Wiring Harness And Connector Pins For Corrosion Or Damage Prior To Installation.
- Transfer Any Small Control Modules (For Radio/Steering-Audio) From The Old Unit If Required.
- After Installation, Test All Affected Functions And Clear Any Fault Codes If Present.
Why The Part Fails Most Often
The most frequent reasons for COM2000 failure are mechanical wear of internal contacts due to heavy use, moisture or dirt ingress leading to corrosion, and broken plastic components from age or rough handling. Intermittent faults are commonly caused by degraded contact surfaces inside the switch block or poor connector contacts in the wiring harness.
Compatibility Notes
This unit is commonly used on Citroën Berlingo II, Peugeot 206 and Peugeot Partner II models—check the product codes listed above against the part number you require. Remember that some functions (notably radio steering controls) may require transferring a sub-module from the original stalk to the replacement to restore full functionality.
