Indicator Switch / Radio

[gollycrush]

i have an 04 plate berlingo multispace with an indicator stalk problem, when self cancelling from the right turn position it activates the left indicator and assuming the switch has to be replaced? ( Citroen quote part @£135+VAT ), if i disconnect the battery to change the switch as obviously the steering wheel and airbag has to be removed, will the factory standard fit Radio need codeing manually or are the Berlingo models radios coded to the car the same as peugeots and automatically work when the battery is reconnected? Advice would be much appreciated.

I had a fault on our old 53 reg with the stalks similar to yours - it was actually a fault with the electronic control system (Comms 2000 unit) not the stalk.

the stalk is part of the comms2000 so thats why you had to change it. and yes, the radio will keep its code as the chassie number stored in the radio.

Thanks very much for your speedy reply.

 

Upon replacing the indicator stalk assembly ive read in a Haynes manual that an initialization of the stalk has to be performed, is this correct or will the stalk function correctly without the need for dealer setting?

 

What exactly is the "Comms2000" you mention?

its just a straight swap. no need for for config or anything. its a unit that sends all the info from the steering ctrls to the bsi then the bsi sends voltage to the component (multiplexing). it reduces the amount of wiring needed.
