The Combination Switch on your INFINITI is designed to control various automotive functions. It helps toggle between the headlights and the fog lights, regulates the wipers and windshield fluid pump, and, in some cases, helps you set your cruise control preferences. Often, it is colloquially referred to as a “turn,” “combi,” or “wiper” switch.
The “combi” switch utilizes a network of wires to power each function, with each wire providing a solid connection to the function it controls. Since this part relies on specific wires for each function it controls, any issues with the electrical system, short circuits, or an impact may interrupt proper operation — which may cause one or more of the features not to work. Consequently, unresponsive turn signals, headlights, or windshield wipers can affect your driving experience and cause dangerous situations. Plus, in many states, if one or several of these important features aren't working, your INFINITI might not meet the minimum requirements for legal usage on public roads.
If your Combination Switch isn't working correctly, you may notice symptoms such as the washer fluid pump not working, an inability to activate the turn signals or toggle between low-to-high beams, or your windshield wipers not responding. These malfunctions can be especially troublesome if you've ensure that parts of these specific features such as the windshield wiper blades and headlight bulbs are working properly.
If any of these symptoms show up, purchase a genuine replacement Combination Switch made specifically for your vehicle model and year as soon as possible. In addition, find your closest authorized INFINITI service center to get professional diagnostic and replacement services from local experts. Since the complex design of the steering and electrical systems when replacing the Combination Switch, it's best to avoid replacing the Combination Switch at home.
