Do-it-yourself installation and repair of a low panel on a VAZ 2109

How to remove the visor of a high instrument panel without disassembling the entire panel

• Sometimes there is a need to remove only one visor on the high instrument panel of a VAZ 2109 without removing the entire panel. Often this point is not described in the manuals; the emphasis is on dismantling the entire dashboard and disconnecting it from the car body. At the same time, to access the instrument cluster, for example, to install LEDs for dial illumination instead of standard lamps or install another instrument combination, there is no need to dismantle the entire instrument panel; it is enough to remove only one visor.
• In this article we will look at how you can do this yourself.
• Before starting any work on the vehicle's electrical wiring, it is necessary to disconnect the negative terminal from the battery to avoid possible short circuits in the wires.
• Remove the headlight/low beam switch button from the panel using a screwdriver. The button is tight, you need to be careful not to damage it.
• Disconnect its connector from the button.
• In the same way, remove the emergency button. It will be more difficult to pull it out, we also need to be careful.
• Disconnect its connector.
• Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws securing the tidy console trim, also called the “beard.”
• Having unscrewed the screws, we bend the beard down, holding it from below with another self-tapping screw.
• We take out the radio and disconnect all its connectors, or the standard plug if you do not have a radio in your car.
• There are 3 metal latches (2) on the top of the visor, and 2 plastic tabs (1) on the bottom edges. To remove the visor, you need to press them out one by one and release the instrument panel visor.
• We start with the two top latches, use a screwdriver to press them through the niche for the radio, and slide the visor towards you. Caution is also necessary here as the latches are fragile and can come off.
• Next, use a screwdriver to press out the two lower plastic fasteners of the visor and lift the visor up.
• Raising the visor, unhook the third upper mounting bracket, located on the left. Well, having disconnected the electrical connectors of the cigarette lighter, its illumination and the emergency signal lamp, we release the visor.
• That’s it, access to the instrument cluster is free, just don’t forget that the connectors and speedometer cable are holding it at the back. If you need to remove the instrument panel combination, for example, in order to illuminate the instrument scales from the inside, do not forget to turn off the whole thing.

The interior design of the VAZ-2109 depends on the year of manufacture of the car. In any case, dismantling the panel is a very labor-intensive job that takes a lot of time. Let's figure out how to remove a high or low instrument panel on a VAZ-2109.

How to do easy tuning of the VAZ-2109 dashboard with your own hands

During the modernization of the interior of the domestic “nine”, tuning its “tidy” becomes a truly indispensable element. Beautiful modifications can be done with your own hands. To do this, you will need to make a new dial on a computer using special design programs and printing the picture on a printer.

However, first you need to clearly think through the appearance of the dials for the car's tachometer and speedometer, as well as for all the sensors that remain. Once the dials are printed, they need to be laminated, and then you can start removing the instrument panel.

To dismantle it correctly, you must first remove the steering wheel pads and also mark the steering position relative to the shaft. Then carefully unscrew the fastening nut.

Next, you can remove the steering wheel and unscrew the screws that are located in the area of ​​the car lower casing. After this, you will have to disassemble the steering column. When the instrument panel is removed, you should unscrew the arrows from the old speedometer and tachometer. Subsequently, they will be attached to the updated dials.

When tuning a VAZ 2109 with your own hands, you can also repaint the dials and hands in bright colors. Regular spray paint cans are suitable for this. At the same time, it is better to make the dial a rich black color.

You can make it matte using special products. In this case, the arrows need to be painted in bright pink or original red-burgundy tones. After the painted plates of the machine dial have dried, they are completed with an old or pre-prepared scale and removed hands.

In a situation where the owner wants to modernize the instrument panel in a more modern way, he should also use a special (original, as in the video) backlight. You can add an original touch using a fluorescent marker, but more on that below.

Is it allowed to install a dashboard on a VAZ 2115 from another car?

In short, no. The dashboard on the VAZ 2115, 2114 and 2113 has a number of design features that are not found on other cars. Its cross members, mounting brackets and console sides are too long. There is nothing like this even on other VAZ models, not to mention foreign cars. But it should be noted that car owners often practice reverse replacement. In particular, a dashboard from a VAZ 2114 can be successfully installed on a VAZ 2109. But in this case, you have to trim the sides of the console and drill new mounting holes on the brackets.

Replacing the VAZ 2109 speedometer drive due to gear wear

The drive also fails due to wear of the paired gears. In this case, its repair is carried out without removing the gearbox according to the following scheme:

• the car is placed on an inspection hole or overpass;
• using a socket wrench, unscrew the fixing bolt that secures the drive housing and gearbox;
• remove the case (it should be pryed off with a screwdriver);
• remove the gears and change them.

It is important to immediately count the number of teeth on the old gears. New parts must have the same number. Otherwise, the speedometer will provide incorrect information both in terms of mileage and speed. When inspecting the housing, you can see oil leaks on it, which indicates the need to replace the o-ring. It is pushed out after the driven gear is removed. It is recommended that after all replacements, wash the drive parts using clean kerosene, and then reassemble the unit in the reverse order.

Dismantling

There may be several reasons for dismantling the low panel of the VAZ 2109:

• Body repair;
• Repair of panel components;
• Car noise insulation;
• The desire to replace the old torpedo with a new one, etc.

We offer you a step-by-step guide that will allow you to remove the low type of panel installed on the VAZ 2109 without outside help.

1. Remove the stove control knobs. A total of three.
2. Remove the heater fan switch knob. To do this you need to pull it towards you.
3. Unscrew the 2 fasteners of the dashboard trims on both sides of the console. The cover needs to be pulled towards you.
4. Disconnect the wiring block from the rear fog light switch.
5. Disconnect a couple of power connectors and one power wire from the rear window defroster switch.
6. Disconnect the wiring block from the hazard warning light switch.

15. Unscrew the speedometer mounting nut, and then disconnect the speedometer cable.
16. Disconnect the block with wires (it is white) from the instrument panel.
17. Remove the hose from the econometer fitting, and then remove the cotter pin.
18. Disconnect the cable from the speedometer that resets the odometer for the day.
19. You now need to disconnect the red block from the instrument cluster.
20. Remove the instrument panel light switch handle and the headlight hydraulic adjustment handle. They need to be pulled towards you.
21. Unscrew the mounting nut of the instrument backlight switch.
22. Unscrew the fastening nut of the headlight hydraulic corrector socket.
23. Remove the steering wheel and its paddle shifters.
24. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to position 1. This will disable the anti-theft device. Only after this can you turn off the power supply to the ignition switch.
25. Unscrew the 2 mounting bolts and 2 nuts of the steering column tube.
26. Remove this pipe, taking the ignition switch along with it.
27. Pull the choke handle towards you (we are talking about carburetor suction). There should be a craving. After this, the handle is removed from the rod.
28. Unscrew the 2 choke guide rod fasteners holding it to the instrument panel.
29. Remove the mounting screw on the left side of the dashboard.
30. Unscrew the fasteners for the lower panel fixation on the left.
31. Similarly, remove the fasteners from the side and bottom on the right side of the dashboard.
32. Unscrew the panel fastening screw, which is located inside the glove compartment.
33. There remains one fastener on both sides of the panel, which must be unscrewed in order to eventually remove the tidy.

The low panel is assembled in the reverse order unless it is planned to replace it with a more modern one or with a modified design. Then the assembly depends specifically on the panel that you have chosen for your VAZ 2109.

Do not forget that assembly is no more difficult or easier than dismantling. Therefore, you should not relax after completing only half the task.
