Direct answer to the question

• The part in your photo is the combined hazard-warning and central-locking dash switch for a Peugeot 206 (double push-button: lock icon + triangle). Installing it is a simple plug‑and‑play replacement if your 206 already has factory central locking and the same connector style.
• Basic steps: put the BSI to sleep and disconnect the battery, remove the radio/trim to reach behind the switch, squeeze the side clips, push the old switch out, unplug, plug the new one in, test hazards and central locking, then reassemble. If the car doesn’t have factory central locking, this switch will not add that function by itself.

Key points

• Verify connector/pin count and OE reference (common OE ref: 6554.L0; variants exist with 5 or 6 pins—match to yours). (ebay.com)
• This is a command switch only; it talks to the car’s control unit (BSI/central locking ECU). It does not contain the locking electronics or actuators.

Detailed problem analysis

• Function: The hazard/central-lock switch is a low-current user interface. Pressing the triangle requests hazards; pressing the lock icon requests door lock/unlock. The actual flashing and locking are performed by the BSI (multiplex cars) or the dedicated relays/control unit (early non‑multiplex cars).
• Compatibility on a 2000 206:
  • 1998–~2001 cars can be non‑multiplex (non‑MUX). Around late 2001 Peugeot introduced MUX (BSI-managed) wiring. The physical switch module looks the same but pin assignments and internal logic may differ slightly between versions. That’s why matching the connector and OE number matters.
  • If your car never came with central locking, the lock button will not operate anything unless you retrofit a central‑locking system (actuators + wiring + control module) or code/enable a factory system where present.
• Mechanical retention: The switch is held in the center fascia by two lateral plastic tabs. Removal is easiest by accessing from behind (after pulling the radio or the upper trim) to depress the tabs and push the switch outward.

Current information and trends

• Replacement switches are widely available as aftermarket parts in 2025; many are sold under OE cross‑references like 6554.L0 and typically note a 5‑pin connector. Always match the reference and pin count to your car before purchasing. (ebay.com)

Supporting explanations and details

• Pinning/connector: Common aftermarket listings describe a 5‑pin module for the 206 range (hatchback, SW, CC, etc.). Some cars use a 6‑way shell with one position unused; others truly have five terminals populated. If your car’s plug doesn’t match the new switch, stop—get the correct variant. (kontorshotelltierp.se)
• Electrical behavior: The lock button generally pulls a BSI input low for a short time (momentary ground trigger). Hazards are similarly requested via a low‑current control line; the flasher function itself is handled by the BSI/relay, not by the switch.

Ethical and legal aspects

• Hazards are a safety‑critical function; ensure the switch operates correctly after installation.
• Disconnect the battery properly to avoid corrupting the BSI (PSA modules can be sensitive to power transients).

Practical guidelines

Implementation (step‑by‑step):

1. Prepare the vehicle
   • Lower the driver’s window (safety), turn off ignition, remove key, close all doors. Wait 3–5 minutes for the BSI to go to sleep. Then disconnect the negative battery terminal.
2. Access the switch
   • Remove the radio with extraction keys (or the upper center trim, depending on your console). Reach behind the hazard/lock switch.
3. Release and remove
   • Squeeze the side retaining clips and push the switch outward through the front of the panel.
4. Swap the part
   • Unplug the connector. Compare both parts: housing shape, indexing notch, and pin count. Plug in the new switch.
5. Test electrically
   • Reconnect the battery. With ignition off, test the hazard function. With ignition on, press the lock button to confirm it commands lock/unlock (doors closed). If the car lacks central locking, the lock button will do nothing—this is normal.
6. Reassemble
   • Seat the new switch in the fascia, reinstall radio/trim, ensure no wiring is trapped.

Best practices

• Do not force the connector; mis‑mating can damage terminals.
• If hazards or the lock button don’t work after replacement, refit the original switch to confirm the diagnosis and check the relevant fuse(s) per the owner’s manual.
• If central locking works from the interior button but not from the key fob, the issue is separate (key programming/BSI configuration or RF receiver), not the dash switch.

Potential challenges and how to overcome them

• Connector mismatch or different pin count: return the part and obtain the correct OE reference (e.g., 6554.L0 variant stated for your VIN). (ebay.com)
• Intermittent hazards after the swap: check connector seating and terminal tension; gently retension female terminals if loose.
• No central locking response: verify that your vehicle actually has factory central locking. If not present, you must retrofit actuators and a control module; the dash switch alone cannot perform locking.

Possible disclaimers or additional notes

• Model‑year transitions around 2000–2001 mean your 206 may be non‑MUX or early MUX; wiring strategies differ slightly. When in doubt, verify by VIN and wiring diagram rather than relying solely on color codes or assumptions.
• Aftermarket switches vary in quality. If you experience odd behavior (e.g., self‑activating hazards), try an OE or higher‑quality aftermarket replacement.

Suggestions for further research

• Confirm the correct OE number by VIN using a parts catalog or dealer. Cross‑check the pin count described by the seller with your car’s connector. (ebay.com)
• If central locking doesn’t respond, scan the BSI with DiagBox/Lexia to check configuration and fault codes (remote locking, door‑ajar switches, etc.). Community threads often distinguish MUX vs non‑MUX behavior and note the existence of the interior lock button on MUX cars. (peugeotforums.com)

Brief summary

• Your photo shows the hazard + central‑locking dash switch. Installation is straightforward: safely disconnect power, push the old switch out, unplug/plug, and test. Match the part to your 206 by OE reference and pin count (e.g., 6554.L0; 5‑pin variants common). This switch cannot add central locking to a car that doesn’t already have it; it only commands the existing system. (ebay.com)

If you can share your VIN (or a clear photo of your current connector), I can confirm the correct part variant and provide a pinout specific to your car.
