Description
VALEO COM2003 stalk switches for CITROËN C5 II and PEUGEOT 407 ESP. They control fog lights, trip computer, rear wipers, rain sensor and ESP. This is a used part; the stalks will not be as firm as new, but they work correctly.
Product Overview
Direct-fit steering column stalk unit designed for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. The COM2003 Valeo stalk integrates multiple controls into a single module—fog lights, on-board computer functions, rear wiper operation, rain sensor interface and ESP activation—making it a common service item for vehicles with integrated electronic stability control. Ideal for professional workshops and competent DIY mechanics searching by product code (e.g. 96592428XT, 6242S5).
Why Replace This Part
Stalk switches are subject to frequent use and mechanical wear. Symptoms prompting replacement include intermittent operation of fog lamps or wipers, loose or sloppy feel of the stalk, unresponsive ESP switch, or erratic signals to the onboard computer and rain sensor. Because this listing is for a used unit, expect normal signs of wear; however the electrical functions are reported to operate correctly.
Installation Recommendations
Fitting this type of steering column stalk is straightforward for trained technicians and experienced DIYers. Recommended procedure:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting to avoid short circuits and airbag deployment risk.
- Set the steering wheel to the center position and remove the steering column trim (typically secured with Torx or Phillips screws).
- Carefully unplug the electrical connector(s) from the existing stalk—note connector orientation and locking tabs.
- Remove the retaining screws/clips and swap the stalk assembly for the replacement unit.
- Reconnect the connectors, reassemble the column covers, reconnect the battery and verify all functions (fog lights, trip computer controls, rear wiper, rain sensor input and ESP switch) before road use.

Most Common Failure Causes
Typical reasons these stalks fail include mechanical wear of contacts and detents from repeated use, ingress of moisture or dirt causing corrosion of electrical contacts, plastic fatigue or broken locking tabs, and carbon buildup on switch surfaces leading to intermittent signals. Electrical overloads or short circuits elsewhere in the vehicle can also damage internal switch contacts.
