17-Pin 2.2mm Headlight / Turn Signal / Fog / Wiper Combination Switch Controller Connector – OEM 7283-7375 / 6098-1998
Direct OEM-specification replacement for the Sumitomo 17-pin wire harness connector used on combination switch controllers (stalk switches) for headlights, turn signals, fog lights, and windscreen wipers. Cross-references Sumitomo OEM part numbers 7283-7375 and 6098-1998. Uses the 2.2mm contact series in white nylon and rubber housing — a high-density steering column connector that consolidates multiple lighting and wiper control circuits into a single 17-pin harness connection.
The 17-pin combination switch connector is located on the steering column, connecting the stalk switch assembly to the body control module (BCM) or instrument cluster harness. It is exposed to vibration from the steering column and heat from the cabin. A failed connector causes multiple simultaneous lighting and wiper faults — depending on which pins have failed, the headlights, turn signals, fog lights, or wipers may become intermittent or inoperative. The high pin density of the 17-pin connector makes individual terminal corrosion difficult to diagnose without connector inspection.

Q: My turn signals and wipers stopped working at the same time — could it be the combination switch connector?
A: Yes. Multiple simultaneous lighting and wiper faults are a classic symptom of a failed 17-pin combination switch connector. Inspect the connector before replacing the stalk switch assembly or BCM.
Q: Are terminals included?
A: Yes, terminals are included with all variants.
