The Combination Switch on your INFINITI is a controller that regulates various automotive functions. It lets you control the headlights and fog lights, allows you to adjust the wiper speed and spray wiper fluid, and, on some models, can help you set your preferences for your cruise control. Often, it is colloquially referred to as the “wiper,” “combi,” or “turn” 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 a precise network of wires to perform each function, any issues with the electrical system, short circuits, or an impact may interrupt proper operation — causing one or several features to malfunction. Consequently, unresponsive windshield wipers, turn signals, or headlights can lead to annoying or dangerous situations. Additionally, in many states, if one or more of these features does not work, you might not be able to drive your vehicle legally on public roads.
A few signs that your current Combination Switch is not working properly include an inoperative washer fluid pump, an inability to activate the turn signals or toggle between low-to-high beams, or malfunctioning windshield wipers. These issues can be especially unsettling if you have already made sure that components of these features like the headlight bulbs and wiper blades are working properly.
If you notice any of these issues, purchase a genuine replacement Combination Switch made to fit your INFINITI as soon as possible. In addition, head to an authorized INFINITI service center near you for professional installation services. Since replacing the Combination Switch involves complex systems including steering and electrical components, it's best to leave Combination Switch replacement to a professional.
