Valeo Steering Column Switch Part No. 251642

The Valeo Steering Column Switch, part number 251642, is a single electrical switch assembly supplied as each. It sits within the vehicle’s steering column control system, so matching the part number and application details is the main step before ordering.

This unit is listed under electrical parts and engine management, with a recorded weight of 0.45 kg. That weight can be a useful quick reference when comparing against an existing unit, especially where the original switch has been removed for inspection.

Valeo is the stated brand, and the product is identified simply as a steering column switch. With this type of part, the correct replacement is best confirmed by the part number 251642 and by checking the vehicle application carefully rather than relying on appearance alone.

A one-year warranty is recorded for the item. As with any steering column control component, it is sensible to verify the vehicle’s exact year and model match before purchase, because small differences in column switch design can affect compatibility.

Application and Buying Notes

Before buying, compare the existing steering column switch against part number 251642. For this kind of electrical control part, the number is the most reliable starting point, and the recorded weight of 0.45 kg can also help with a basic comparison if the old unit is available.

The listed fitment information points to Renault, Renault Grand Scénic and Renault Scénic applications, with sample years shown for Grand Scénic from 2004 to 2009 and Scénic from 2003 to 2006. Even so, the safest approach is to confirm the exact vehicle model and year against the current part installed in the car.

Because steering column switches can vary between models and production runs, do not assume compatibility from the Renault badge alone. Match the part number 251642, then check the vehicle application details carefully before ordering.

The item is sold as a single unit, so it is intended as a direct replacement rather than a kit of multiple components. If you are replacing a failed switch, inspect the surrounding steering column controls and connectors before fitting so the new part can be assessed against the existing installation.

The one-year warranty provides a clear purchase reference, but it does not replace fitment checking. A careful comparison of the brand, part number, application and physical configuration is still the best way to avoid ordering the wrong switch for the vehicle.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number 251642 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.
