Description
Complete SAGEM instrument cluster for CITROEN C2, C3 1.4 HDI cars
From a car with approx. 350,000 km
Part description
This speedometer / combined dashboard (dashboard) is designed for Citroën C2 and Citroën C3 cars. It is an original part of the manufacturer SAGEM, which is used to display basic operating data and control the functions of the instrument panel. Searchable by part number, it is an ideal choice when replacing a non-functioning instrument panel or troubleshooting problems such as backlight outages, non-functioning hands or display problems.
The part comes from a car with a higher mileage (approx. 350,000 km) – before assembly, we therefore recommend a careful visual inspection and comparison with the old part.

Installation recommendations
Generally/typically for changing the tachometer (combined on-board instrument), the exact procedure varies according to the specific design and equipment of the car. Below is a safe practice procedure for this type of electrical work.
1) Before assembly
- Compare with the old part: product numbers (9652008280, 6105EV), type of connectors, mounting and overall design.
- Check the condition of the connectors (bent pins, oxidation), snap elements and transparent cover.
- Visually check whether the device is mechanically damaged (cracks, loose parts, traces of moisture).
2) Necessary tools and materials
- Basic set of screwdrivers / bits (depending on interior design)
- Plastic pry bar for removing trim (to avoid scratching)
- A clean cloth, or contact agent (if the connectors are dirty)
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Turn off the ignition and secure the vehicle against movement.
- Disconnect the battery (with electrical parts this is a typical safe procedure to minimize the risk of short circuits).
- Remove the plastic covers/frame around the instrument panel (be careful not to break the clips).
- Unfasten the device shield and slide the device out to access the connectors.
- Disconnect the connectors: first release the connector locks, do not pull the wiring.
- Remove the original tachometer and prepare a new piece.
- Plug the connectors into the new tachometer and check that they are fully seated and secured.
- Place the device in the correct position and screw the fixing.
- Reassemble the frame and the removed interior parts.
- Connect the battery.
- Turn on the ignition and verify that the device starts up without any obvious display dropouts.
-
4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
- Verify the function of the backlight, the readability of the display and the basic reaction of the device after turning on the ignition.
- During a short test drive, observe whether the device shows any outages (fluctuating hands, switching off, backlight problems).
- If irregularities appear, recheck the seating of the connectors and the condition of the contacts.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Battery not disconnected → risk of short circuit or electrical errors; always disconnect before handling.
- Pulling on the wiring when disconnecting → damage to wires; always release the connector fuses.
- Incomplete connectors → backlight/display outages; after connection, check the security.
- Broken trim clips → work with a plastic pry bar and feel, especially in the cold.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- Wear of electronics and cold joints due to age and vibration.
- Voltage fluctuations in the on-board network (weak battery, bad charging, transient resistances).
- Oxidation of contacts in connectors and increased transition resistance.
- Moisture in the area of the instrument panel (leakage, condensation) leading to malfunctions of the display or backlight.
- Mechanical damage during unprofessional disassembly (broken handles, scratched cover).
