Part description

This used DELPHI COM2000 part is intended for Citroën and Peugeot cars and serves as a combined controller under the steering wheel. It is an important part for the day-to-day control of the car’s functions, as it ensures the operation of the lights, fog lights, front and rear wipers and the horn.

The advantage is that it is an original type of part often searched for by production numbers. With this version, the controller for the cruise control and car radio must be delivered separately or transferred from the original part, if the car is equipped with them.

The part is especially suitable for mechanics and more experienced do-it-yourselfers who are looking for a functional replacement for damaged or non-functional lever controls. When searching in search engines and when comparing with an old part, the listed product codes are especially important.

If you are looking for replacement lever actuators by part number, the most important thing is to compare all the markings on the label and on the originally installed piece. For these parts, correct code matching is critical to maintaining control functions.

Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for this type of part, the exact replacement procedure may vary depending on the specific model and make of the car. Below is a practical general procedure for replacing COM2000 type steering wheel controls.

1) Before assembly

• Check that all part numbers and labels match.
• Compare the connectors, the shape of the body of the part, the attachment and the design of the levers with the old piece.
• Check the mechanical condition of the used part: play in the levers, cracks in the plastic, damage to the connectors or contamination of the contacts.
• If the car uses a cruise control or car radio controller, have the original controller ready to transfer if it is not included.
• Before doing any work, disconnect the battery and wait a reasonable time to reduce the risk of damage to electrical parts.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• A common set of hand tools
• Screwdrivers and possibly bits according to the type of connecting material
• Plastic pry bar for removing covers
• Clean cloth
• Preparation for cleaning electrical contacts, if needed
• Protective gloves

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Secure the vehicle against movement and turn off the ignition.
2. Disconnect the battery and wait before disassembling.
3. Remove the steering column covers to access the controls under the steering wheel.
4. Carefully disconnect the electrical connectors from the old part. Do not pull on the wiring, but on the bodies of the connectors.
5. Unfasten the original controller and remove it without using force to avoid damaging the surrounding plastic parts.
6. Compare the old and new part side by side, especially the position of connectors, locks, handles and controls.
7. If necessary, transfer the cruise control or car radio controller from the original part.
8. Place the spare part in the correct position and check that it fits without tension and without cross-fitting.
9. Connect all connectors so that they are fully seated and secure.
10. Reinstall the steering column covers and check that there is no rubbing anywhere and that the levers move freely.
11. Connect the battery.
12. After switching on, verify the functions of individual control elements before normal operation.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
  • Check the operation of the lights and fog lights.
  • Check the front and rear wipers for proper operation.
  • Try the horn.
  • If it is used in the car, also check the cruise control and car radio after it has been added or transferred.
  • During a short test drive, observe whether the levers work smoothly and without function failures.

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

  • Part exchange by incomplete number – always compare all available designations.
  • Connector damage when disconnecting – release the connectors gently and never pull on the wires.
  • Installation without checking the equipment – check in advance whether the cruise control or car radio needs to be transferred.
  • Incorrect seating of the part – check the correct position and free movement of the levers before tightening and assembling the covers.
  • Final inspection rush – after assembly, always try all functions, not just one.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Normal wear from frequent use of the levers during operation.
  • Mechanical stress and careless handling that can cause play or cracking of plastic parts.
  • Wear of internal contacts, which can be manifested by failure of functions of lights, wipers or horn.
  • Damage due to improper disassembly of the steering column covers or the controller itself.
  • Moisture and dirt which can negatively affect the electrical connection and operation of the controllers.
