Description
Multifunctional COM2005 DELPHI control block for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. Controls lights, fog lights, car radio, cruise control and car radio (radio must be supplied or stalk transferred), front and rear wipers, horn.
This multifunction steering column control unit (COM2005) is an OEM-style replacement used across a range of Citroën and Peugeot models. It integrates stalk switches and electronic controls for lighting, wipers, horn, radio functions and cruise control into a single compact module. The unit is commonly referenced by several product codes (see Technical Information below), so customers frequently search by part number when sourcing a replacement.
Applications
Suitable For: Citroën Berlingo B9, Citroën C2, Citroën C3 (including C3 I/C3 II), DS3, Peugeot Partner Tepee and other compatible PSA models that use the COM2005 Delphi steering column block.
Functions
The COM2005 module handles multiple driver controls routed through the steering column: main and dipped beam headlights, fog lights, front and rear windscreen wipers and washers, horn, radio/stalk commands and cruise control activation. Depending on vehicle equipment, the radio switch may need to be transferred from the original stalk or supplied separately.
How To Replace
- Prepare: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage parking brake and set steering straight ahead.
- Safety: Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting to avoid electrical damage and airbag deployment risk.
- Access: Remove the steering wheel and upper/lower column covers to reach the stalk assembly—follow vehicle manufacturer instructions for airbag and steering wheel removal.
- Disconnect: Carefully unplug all electrical connectors from the COM2005 block. Note securing clips and wiring harness routing.
- Swap/Install: Remove the old unit and fit the replacement. Transfer any radio stalk or mechanical parts if required by the part configuration.
- Reassemble: Reinstall covers and steering wheel, reconnect the battery and follow vehicle procedures for steering angle/calibration if applicable.
- Test: Verify all functions—lights, wipers, horn, radio controls and cruise control—before returning the vehicle to service.
Installation Recommendations
Always Disconnect The Battery Before Removal/Installation And Follow Manufacturer Procedures To Avoid Damage To The Unit Or Vehicle Systems. If The Replacement Requires Adaptation Or Coding (some PSA vehicles need configuration after part swap), Use Proper Diagnostic Equipment. Professional Workshop Tools Such As DiagBox/Lexia May Be Required For Full Functionality And Final Checks. If Transferring Radio Controls, Ensure Mechanical And Electrical Interfaces Are Matched Exactly.
