Description
Steering column switches, COM2000 stalks for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles
They control headlights, fog lights, front and rear wipers, horn
Cruise control and car radio (switch must be supplied or transferred)
Product Overview
High-quality used steering column stalk switches (COM2000) suitable for a range of Citroën and Peugeot models. These multifunction stalks combine lighting, wiper and horn controls into a single compact unit. Ideal for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics needing a direct replacement for a worn or damaged switch assembly.
Function
The stalks provide primary user controls for exterior lighting (dipped/full beam, parking lights), fog lights, front and rear windshield wipers including intermittent and wash functions, and the horn. Some variants also support cruise control and radio steering controls, but the dedicated cruise/radio switch may need to be supplied or transferred from the original unit.
Replacement Procedure
Basic steps for replacement (general guide for experienced technicians):
- Disconnect The Battery: Always disconnect the negative terminal before starting to prevent short circuits and airbag faults.
- Remove Steering Column Covers: Unscrew and gently separate upper and lower shrouds to access the stalk assembly.
- Unplug Electrical Connectors: Carefully release retaining clips and unplug the wiring harness from the COM2000 unit.
- Remove Mounting Fasteners: Unscrew the stalk mounting screws or clips and withdraw the stalk assembly.
- Fit New Unit: Position the replacement stalk, secure fasteners, reconnect connectors and reassemble column covers.
- Function Test: Reconnect the battery and verify all functions (lights, wipers, horn, cruise/radio if applicable) before road testing.

Compatibility
Commonly fitted to a range of Citroën and Peugeot models, including but not limited to:
- Citroën Berlingo II
- Citroën Xsara
- Peugeot 206
- Peugeot Partner II
Why The Part Fails Most Often
Failures are typically caused by electrical wear and mechanical fatigue over time. Frequent causes include worn contact tracks inside the switch, moisture ingress leading to corrosion, broken plastic levers from impact or misuse, and intermittent connections at multi-pin plugs. Symptoms include non-functioning lights or wipers, intermittent operation, and stuck or noisy stalks.
Installation Recommendations
- Professional Tools: Use appropriate trim tools to avoid breaking plastic covers and proper torque for fasteners.
- Connector Care: Inspect connector pins for corrosion or damage and clean contacts if necessary before reconnection.
- Airbag Precautions: Follow manufacturer safety procedures around the steering wheel and airbag; disconnect the battery and wait the recommended time before starting work.
- Programming: Most stalk replacements are plug-and-play for basic functions. If the vehicle uses extra features (steering-wheel radio controls or cruise control), transferring the original control module or pairing may be required.
Notes For Mechanics And DIYers
This used COM2000 stalk assembly offers a cost-effective repair option. Verify physical fitment and connector type against the original part before installation. If additional steering controls are required (cruise or radio), ensure the correct switch insert or wiring is available to restore full functionality.
