Roof Sunshade Controller – Retractable Roof Switch for PEUGEOT 307 SW
Product Overview
This roof sunshade controller is the direct-control switch for the retractable sunroof sunshade on the Peugeot 307 SW. Designed for workshop use and competent DIY repairers, the switch restores reliable sunshade operation and comfort to the cabin. Ideal when the button is unresponsive, intermittent, or physically damaged. Common search terms: Peugeot 307 sunshade switch, sunroof sunshade controller, 96441520XT, 9644152077, 6554L2.
Function
The unit operates as the user interface for the sunroof’s interior sunshade. When pressed, it sends the command to the sunroof control circuit to open or close the fabric/roller sunshade. The switch itself contains mechanical contacts and an actuator mechanism; it does not drive the motor directly but completes the electrical signal path to the sunroof control module or relay.
Compatibility And Application
Primary Fitment: Peugeot 307 SW (factory-equipped with retractable sunroof/sunshade). Compatibility is typically determined by the OEM part numbers listed below. This part suits vehicles using the same overhead console and connector layout as the original Peugeot component.
How To Replace
- Prepare Tools: Plastic trim tools, small Torx or Phillips drivers depending on fasteners, and a multimeter for testing.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting to avoid short circuits or accidental sunroof movement.
- Remove Overhead Trim: Carefully pry down the overhead console or trim surrounding the switch using plastic trim tools to avoid damaging clips and upholstery.
- Unplug Electrical Connector: Release the connector latch and disconnect the wiring harness from the switch module.
- Swap Unit: Remove retaining screws or clips, replace the faulty switch with the new unit, and secure it in place.
- Test Before Reassembly: Reconnect the battery, verify correct sunshade operation through all switch positions, then disconnect battery again to complete reassembly of the trim.
- Final Assembly: Refit the trim, reconnect the battery, and perform a final functional test.

Installation Recommendation
Installation Is Suitable For Experienced DIYers And Professional Mechanics. Use Non-Marring Trim Tools To Protect Headliner And Plastic Clips. Always Disconnect The Battery Before Any Work In The Roof Console Area To Prevent Short Circuits Or Unintended Actuator Movement. After Installing The Switch, Verify Full Travel And Smooth Operation Of The Sunshade; Inspect The Connector For Corrosion And Ensure Secure Latching.
Why This Part Commonly Fails
Switches In Overhead Consoles Fail Most Often Due To Mechanical Wear And Electrical Contact Degradation After Thousands Of Cycles. Additional Causes Include Moisture Ingress From Sunroof Seals Or Leaks, Contaminants Such As Dust Or Spilled Liquids, And Heat Or Age-Related Plastic Fatigue That Causes Buttons To Stick Or Break. Intermittent Operation Is Frequently The Result Of Worn Contacts Or A Loose Harness Connector.
Benefits Of Replacement
Replacing a faulty sunshade switch restores user control and cabin comfort, prevents further strain on the sunroof control circuit, and eliminates safety annoyances caused by unpredictable operation. Matching the OEM part numbers listed ensures correct fit and connector compatibility for a straightforward installation.
