Description
Hazard Light Switch, Turn Signal Switch, Central Locking Controller for Peugeot 3008 and 5008 First Generation.
This used control switch is a direct-fit electrical component commonly found on first-generation Peugeot 3008 and 5008 models. Supplied under part numbers 96638426XT, 98070056ZD and 6490EA, the unit combines hazard-light activation, turn-signal switching and a central-locking control button in one module. Ideal for professional workshops and DIY mechanics looking to replace a worn or faulty stalk/switch assembly, this part restores reliable signaling and central locking functions while matching OE form and fit.
Key Functions
The unit performs several vehicle safety and convenience tasks:
- Activates hazard warning lights to signal emergency stops or warnings to other road users.
- Operates left/right turn signals and cancels them after a completed turn (mechanical/electrical cancellation depending on vehicle variant).
- Contains an integrated central-locking switch to lock/unlock the vehicle from the steering column area.

Installation Recommendations
Recommended for installation by trained technicians or experienced DIY mechanics. Basic steps:
- Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting work to avoid short circuits and airbag deployment.
- Remove steering column trim panels (usually secured by Torx or Phillips screws) to access the switch assembly.
- Disconnect electrical connector(s) carefully—avoid pulling on wires—and remove the retaining screws or clips holding the assembly in place.
- Fit the replacement switch, connect the wiring harness and test all functions (hazard lights, left/right indicators, central locking) before reassembling trim.
- After confirming correct operation, reinstall trim panels and reconnect the battery. Verify indicator and warning lamp behavior on the instrument cluster.
Why This Part Most Often Fails
- Contact Wear: Repeated use causes internal contacts to wear or oxidize, leading to intermittent or failed signaling.
- Mechanical Breakage: Plastic levers, detent mechanisms or mounting tabs can crack or break from stress or impact.
- Moisture and Corrosion: Water ingress or humid conditions can corrode connectors and contacts, causing poor conductivity.
- Electrical Faults: Short circuits or overloaded circuits (often related to aftermarket electrical work) can damage switching elements.
Practical Tips
- Check fuses and flasher relay behavior if signals are not working; a faulty relay or blown fuse can mimic a switch failure.
- When replacing, compare connector pinout and mechanical fit to the original to ensure compatibility.
- Keep the area dry and avoid cleaning contacts with water; if contacts are dirty, use appropriate electronic contact cleaner.
- Test all functions before final reassembly to save time if an adjustment or rework is needed.
Compatibility And Search Tips
Buyers frequently search by part numbers 96638426XT, 98070056ZD or 6490EA—include these when searching or listing the part. Confirm fit by matching the appearance and connector layout to the existing unit on the vehicle. This part is intended for first-generation Peugeot 3008 and 5008 models.
