Connection diagram for seat heating buttons VAZ 2110


The option of heated seats on domestic cars is no longer new. This feature should be present on every machine. With the onset of the first frosts, more and more VAZ owners are wondering why the heating does not work on the fourteenth. This is especially true for those whose cars are parked on the street.

Concerns from the northern countries were the first to install heated seats on manufactured cars. Initially, the option appeared on expensive cars, and later this will not surprise anyone on domestic vehicles.

Naturally, those who have already tried this option have only positive things to say about it.

Now we will look at the reasons why the seat heating system on a VAZ-2114 may not work. The information contained in the article will be partially useful to car owners of other cars, because the operating principle of the heaters is similar.

Let us immediately draw your attention to the fact that the process of troubleshooting is quite troublesome and will require you to have experience in carrying out repair work on the vehicle’s electrical network and the availability of certain devices.

How to repair heated seats?
It is absolutely clear to all of us that not every owner of a heated car has the time and desire to troubleshoot problems. Many, faced with this problem, simply let it take its course, and with the onset of cold weather, they scold themselves for the lack of desire to fix the breakdown in a timely manner. It's good if the car is still relatively new. Then we just need to take it to a service center under warranty, where everything will be quickly fixed. What to do if the car ages?

Or is heating simply not provided for your car, but was installed as an addition by a person long forgotten by you? In this case, it is enough to find an understanding electrician. Perhaps it will be your neighbor, relative, or a specialist at one of the service stations.

Anyone who understands this matter will be able to quickly identify and fix the problem, while charging a relatively small fee.

Let's look at the main reasons for this breakdown.

Health issue

Today, medical professionals are still actively arguing about the harm of heating seats inside cars. Some believe that heating is harmful to men's health. Others, on the contrary, consider this a normal and even useful addition to the car.

The decision is yours in any case. But we recommend not to get carried away with high temperatures. Just warm up the seat a little before you hit the road. And then turn off the system.

Everyone wants to make the interior of their car comfortable, and comfortable first of all when the fifth point is warm

How to make built-in heated seats with your own hands?

Installing a seat heating system
First, you need to purchase the so-called backbone of the entire structure - heating elements. Why buy and not make it yourself? The issue is your safety. Since the elements are built-in, and any inaccuracy in independent work cannot be identified and eliminated in a very short safe period of time, it is better and more reliable to use ready-made elements. Their selection is quite large. We will focus on domestic (Russia), the quality of products of which is not inferior to reliable Germans, and the price is much more pleasant.

Included in this set you will find an electronic temperature controller and overheat protection.

The heating element in Emel is represented by reinforced cable or carbon fiber.

Additionally you will need:

  • Screwdriver Set,
  • wrenches for disassembling the chair,
  • plastic clamps,
  • scissors,
  • knife with replaceable blades,
  • insulating tape,
  • multimeter,
  • heat shrink tubes,
  • pliers, marker,
  • soldering iron,
  • double-sided tape (you can use glue 88),
  • stranded wire 2.5 mm sq. cross section - for wiring.

First, decide on all the control buttons and their fastenings, so that if necessary (suddenly they don’t fit in their regular place), purchase the ones that are suitable for this car.

Now we can get down to business.

  1. Disassemble the seats: start with the headrest, then remove the plastic elements, then the seat upholstery, making room for laying heating mats. To remove the “back” trim, remove the plastic bushings for the headrests.

Place the sheet with heating elements on the seat foam, marking its dimensional contours with a marker. Following the marked lines, stick on strips of double-sided tape or use glue 88. If there is a temperature sensor, also install it on the foam rubber. Glue (attach) heating mats to the designated area on the seats

Here you should pay special attention to the location of the wires. Don’t forget that they should be on the right on the driver’s seat, and on the left on the passenger seat

Remove the power wires.

  1. Install the “original” skin on the supplemented foam base, using plastic clamps in the required places. Also return all plastic elements, headrests to their original position and install the seats in their original places. The wiring should be laid in the locations where the power connections and controls are located.

A very important point: the wires going to the heating mats from the regulators cannot be laid under tension; leave such a margin that you can easily move the chair away if necessary.

It's time to connect the heating elements. The instructions included with the installation kit should help you with this issue. If it is not an assistant for you in connecting the unit to the on-board network, it would be better and more correct to turn to professionals for help

If you are confident in the correctness of your actions and are ready to try to figure out this stage yourself, we recommend that you pay attention to certain recommendations:

  • It is necessary to detect the power (12V), ignition and backlight circuits using a multimeter.
  • Connect the positive wire of the thermal relay to the ignition switch connector, where power appears only after turning the key.
  • Connect the power wire to the positive terminal of the battery through a fuse.
  • Connect the negative wire to ground, and the button backlight wire to the cigarette lighter contacts.
  • All connections, of course, must be soldered and insulated. Then you can check the system.

An important point: a correctly assembled system will only work when the ignition is turned on. Otherwise, you risk not starting the car someday.

Only one question remains unclear: what to do with the rear sofa and its heating? For those who constantly travel with their family in a car, this is a very important point. But there is nothing complicated here either: installation and connection of the rear seat heating system is similar to that described above. The only difference is that for one sofa you will need two sets of heating elements.

Dismantling works

Do-it-yourself installation and connection of an alarm system to the central locking system of a VAZ-2114

To install heating elements, you first need to carry out a dismantling procedure. It includes the following activities.

  1. Unscrew the plastic fasteners that connect the seats to the body of your car.
  2. Remove the skids. Two pieces are located in front, and two more are located in the back.
  3. Remove the chairs from the interior, otherwise it will be extremely uncomfortable to work.
  4. Separate the back from the chair. To do this, there are bolts on the sides, which can be removed with a 10 mm wrench.
  5. On the back there is a plug for the headrests, which can be removed.
  6. The upholstery is removed from the hooks below. To do this, the hooks are slightly unbent.
  7. Now you can completely remove all the trim.
  8. Carry out a similar procedure with the second seat if you plan to install heating on it too.

While you are installing the heating, throw the upholstery into the washing machine. This will not harm her, and the interior will look newer and nicer.

Installation of heating elements

Many people forget about the need to securely fix the elements responsible for heating the seats. As a result, over time they can shift, thereby disrupting the performance of the system.

To avoid such situations, experts advise sewing heating elements directly to the inside of the upholstery. Although today some car owners prefer another option, which uses double-sided tape. The elements are held on it quite reliably, and the tape is attached to the foam rubber itself.

Connection process

Regardless of the chosen fixation method, reverse assembly looks the same for all options. This is the most difficult stage, so strictly adhere to the specified sequence of operations.

Pull the covering back onto the back, where the heating was already fixed. Using a mallet, the plugs are driven into place. We are talking about plugs for headrests. Next, the fabric is stretched. The front one is pushed through the hole, and the back one is straightened down. The fabric from the front is draped over the hooks and then stretched

Just watch the degree of tension so that the fabric does not tear. Now you can put the rear trim element on the hooks. The next step is to insert the wire into the front and tension the sheathing. If you plan to change the foam rubber, cut out the new elements in strict accordance with the dimensions of the old material. Pay attention to the areas where the spring contacts the body and seat ties. To avoid squeaks, use pieces from the washer tube, or simply wrap several layers of electrical tape. Heating for the lower part of a car seat is often mounted using double-sided tape or sewn to the trim on the inside.

You can use plastic clamps or wire brackets, which will prevent the heating elements from moving from their installation locations. After this, the plastic fasteners are tightened. Connect the backrest and seat. A wire is pulled through the hole in the frame and the foam rubber, with which the heating will be connected to the on-board network. The wiring connection is carried out strictly according to the diagram. It is necessarily included with the set of heating elements, so you don’t have to look for anything additional. The standard location for installing heating on and off buttons is the area near the handbrake. Although you can place them as you wish. It’s not uncommon for car owners to take an alternative route, installing a standard heating system on top of the seats, after which they put car covers on top.

There is a modern and very simple solution - heated capes that can be put on in winter and removed during warm periods. Their disadvantage is that the wire runs freely, which can interfere with the driver. Plus the capes do not fit tightly to the chairs.

DIY seat heating installation

To work, you need to first prepare the following set of tools:

  • various screwdrivers and wrenches;
  • multimeter;
  • insulating tape;
  • felt-tip pen or marker;
  • soldering iron;
  • construction knife;
  • pliers;
  • glue;
  • clamps and heat-shrinkable tubes.

Once all the tools and materials are ready, you can start working. First you need to dismantle the chairs and place them in a convenient place. Then completely disassemble them, removing all plastic elements and casing. Place the heating fabric on the seat foam and use a felt-tip pen to make marks along the contour. Using glue, fix the heating fabric along the marks.

Then you need to remove all the power wires and put on the casing. Now the seats can be attached to their places in the car and the power connected. Ideally, connecting the heating elements to the on-board system should be done by an electrician.

But, in principle, you can try to do this work yourself:

  1. Using a multimeter, you need to find the 12 V power supply, ignition and backlight circuits.
  2. Connect the wire (+) of the thermal relay to the ignition switch.
  3. Connect the power cable to the positive terminal of the battery.
  4. Connect the negative wire to ground.
  5. Solder all wire connections using a soldering iron and wrap with electrical tape.
  6. Check the operation of the system.

Below is a diagram of connecting the heated seats of the VAZ 2114 for the Emelya kit.

Keep in mind that the circuit must be assembled in such a way that it only functions when the ignition is on. If you assemble it incorrectly, then forgetting to turn off the heated seats at night, in the morning you will find a completely discharged battery.

Hello! Don’t know how to connect the factory heated seats to a VAZ 2113 2114 2115? This article describes the installation and connection of heated front seats!

To connect the heating you will need:

1. Seat heating kit.2. Four contact relay: 1 pc. 3. Seat heating button: 2 pcs.4. Fuse holder: 1pc.5. Fuse 10 or 15A.6. A few copper wires and various little things for connection: terminals, electrical tape, heat shrink, etc.

I made a diagram and tried to describe everything in detail!

Attention! It is better to buy the heating separately, without components for installation. (It includes a set of all the wiring.) It will be cheaper this way, but all the wires will have to be sorted out (It is possible that only I came across such a set, but you will have everything okay), and the wires included in the set are complete nonsense

The wiring kit is designed for connection according to the standard diagram. I found the diagram on the Internet. Everything fits together.

But in reality it turns out like this:

PS: It’s been a year of regular use after connecting, according to the specified scheme, everything is working fine. There was one point: after about a couple of months, the heating began to turn off spontaneously, it turned out that the four-contact relay had failed, but it was my fault: I installed a used relay, and after replacing it with a new one, everything became good again. Install a new relay!

Some vehicles are equipped with a heated front seat system. The diagram for switching on the heaters is shown in Fig. 7.30.

The heaters are turned on by switches 2 and 6 (left and right seats, respectively). The heaters have built-in thermostats for electric seat heating. The thermostat contacts close at a seat surface temperature of (25±5) °C, and the thermostat contacts open when heated to a temperature of (31±4) °C. The temperature difference between closing and opening the contacts of the built-in thermostat must be at least 5 °C.

Installation of heated seats

We will look at installing seat heating using the example of installing standard heating. Since the installation of other heating systems will be similar to the installation of standard seat heating.

In order to install heated seats yourself, you need to remove the seats from the car and remove the upholstery from them. The heating installation will be divided into several stages.

  • Removing the seats
  • installation of thermoelements in them
  • putting the seats back

Removing the seats

Tools needed to remove seats:

  • Ratchet
  • Head at "13"
  • Head on "8"
  • Head at "10"
  • Screwdriver “+”, “-”
  • Insulating tape

Seat removal process

Move the seat forward as much as possible and pull out springs 1 and 2

Using a ratchet with a head set to “13”, unscrew the seat mounting brackets

Using a ratchet with a head set to “8”, unscrew the seat skis in 5 places

Disconnect the seat belt sensor plug

We take out the seat

Next we move on to disassembling the seat itself and installing thermoelements

Installation of thermoelements

We bend the plastic clips of the seat upholstery and lift the upholstery up.

We slip the thermoelement under the upholstery and sew it to the foam rubber.

We stretch the upholstery over the seat frame and secure it with plastic clips.

Fold the backrest, pulling out the hooks securing the backrest.

Remove the backrest adjustment knob. You need to pull the plastic gear towards you and it will come off.

Using a “10” socket, unscrew the bolt securing the gear to the seat

We bend the pins holding the backrest upholstery and remove it from them.

We slip the thermoelement under the upholstery and sew it to the back.

We stretch the upholstery over the back of the seat and secure it with clamps.

Connect the seat heating plug to the lumbar heating plug

We extend the same procedure with the second seat.

Button installation and connection

A simple diagram for installing standard seat heating in a Lada Priora

Connection

We drill holes on both sides near the air duct for the rear passengers' feet to bring out the plugs for each thermocouple.

Remove the cover for the seat heating button.

We insert the wires into the holes under the seat heating button and separate the thermocouple wires in different directions and insert the holes.

We screw the ground wire under the nut securing the central dashboard near the gearshift lever.

We stretch the positive wire to the fuse block under the central dashboard.

We connect the positive wire to fuse F11, this is the wiper fuse, power appears on it only after the ignition is turned on.

We insert the wiring plug into the heating button and install the button in its normal place.

  • We connect the free plug on the seat with the heating wiring.
  • We check that the connection is correct, that is, the right button should be responsible for the right seat. If it’s the other way around, remove the button and swap the wires.
  • Installation of seats is carried out in the reverse order of removal.

Problems with heating VAZ 2114

Heating a VAZ 2114 is a fairly common problem that haunts many motorists.

The most annoying thing is if the breakdown occurs during the cold season, when the stove is needed more than ever. However, if the problem is accidentally discovered during the warm season, it is also not recommended to ignore it.

It is better to understand the issue in advance, while there is an opportunity. In the future, it may be forgotten and reappear on the horizon only with the arrival of the first cold weather. Then it will have to be resolved urgently and, if not independently, then at any cost.

What could happen?

It should be noted that heating problems in the VAZ 2114 can arise for various reasons, but they can be conditionally divided into two categories:

  • heating is not provided;
  • the air is heated too weakly.

It is quite possible to understand the problem on your own.

However, first it is important to understand where exactly you need to look for the root cause of the problem.

In particular, the culprit of difficulties may be:

  1. Airlock. Once in the area of ​​the cooling radiator, air has every chance of moving into the thermostat. It is not possible to “drive” it out by starting the engine. You will have to add antifreeze to the pipe, thanks to which the air lock will quickly dissolve. Another, unspoken reason is lack of fluid. The antifreeze level should be checked at least once a month.
  2. Blockages. Quite often, the stove does not work due to the formation of blockages, which can be eliminated by dismantling and then cleaning the part. Immediately after this, the stove begins to heat up like new.
  3. Malfunction of the stove tap. It is quite simple to check the likelihood of this problem occurring - by tightening the cable located in the immediate vicinity of the pedal assembly. If the faucet does not open in this case, the only way out of this situation is to replace it.
  4. Broken fuse and relay. The simplest and at the same time unpleasant problem, which any technically savvy driver can easily cope with. However, determining why this situation has developed will be problematic. Most often, both the fuse and the heating relay fail due to a short circuit. But, if the driver wants to delve even deeper into the specifics of the problem, it would be more reasonable to move the car to the nearest service station.
  5. Motor failure. This usually happens when the car is used for a long time, and this component is rarely repairable. The most reasonable thing would be to simply replace it with a new element, having first checked the integrity of the remaining components. If everything is in order, you can purchase a new motor and install it in place of the previous one.

The heating system on the VAZ 2115 is standard. However, without sufficient skills and dexterity, you should not undertake repairs. It is better to entrust the issue to a professional who certainly cannot do any harm.

Is modernization possible?

Often, while in the process of modernizing their own car, many drivers try to connect heated seats, which is quite often successful. What’s remarkable is that there is a ready-made circuit that can be easily installed in your car. It is suitable for several models at once: from 2111 to 2115. It should immediately be noted that the pricing policy for this invention is quite diverse, but experts strongly recommend not saving. A poor-quality heating system can fail without working for even a few months.

This is not at all difficult to do even for an ignorant driver. The greatest difficulty is the connection process.

A special button is mounted directly next to the handbrake, allowing the system to be activated at the moment when the driver needs it. All that remains is to connect the wiring. Most often this is done through the ignition relay and cigarette lighter, but variations are also possible, invented by the driver himself. The manufacturer clearly indicates all the nuances, providing the VAZ 2114 seat heating system with a color description. It will be almost impossible to get confused in it. However, if difficulties still arise, you should definitely contact a professional. Electronics are a rather fragile thing that, if handled incorrectly, will instantly fail. The entire car will be damaged.

How to make heated seats VAZ 2114

22 May

Why does the VAZ-2114 seat heating not work?

Concerns from the northern countries were the first to install heated seats on manufactured cars. At first, the function appeared on expensive cars, and then this will not surprise anyone on Russian vehicles.

Naturally, those who have already tried this option have only positive things to say about it.

At the moment, we will look at the reasons why the seat heating system on the VAZ-2114 may not work. The information contained in the article will be partly needed by car enthusiasts of other cars, therefore the mechanism of operation of the heaters is similar.

Let us immediately draw your attention to the fact that the process of troubleshooting is quite troublesome and will require you to have experience in carrying out repair work on the car’s electronic network and the availability of certain devices

Why do you need heated seats?

Having a similar function in a car is very necessary during periods of severe frost. Getting into a car that has been parked for a long time in the cold is unpleasant and unsafe for the health of the driver and passengers.

Overheating of seats also poses a danger to human health and to the car.

There are many articles on the Internet about the benefits and harms of heating. Let's dot all the i's. Driving for a long time with the heater on can have a bad effect on ladies and guys. Accordingly, it is recommended to use this option consciously in order to protect yourself from cystitis or prostatitis.

General rules for using heating:

  1. Do not allow the seats to become significantly overheated.
  2. When it's cool, turn on the heating and don't sit on them for a while.
  3. Once the seats have been warmed up, turn off the system. Next, heat the interior with a stove.
  4. You cannot stay in the salon in warm clothes for a long time.

Following these rules will help you protect yourself from overheating and not harm yourself.

Operating principle of heated seats

The heating elements are treated with a special coating that insulates them from direct contact with the upholstery. There are designs with one or two heating elements. The heaters are connected to the vehicle's electronic network through a control unit. Some system models allow you to adjust the temperature.

Next to the heater there is a sensor that controls heating. When the desired temperature is reached, the system turns off the power. There may also be a function for automatically maintaining the heating level, which is set by the driver. Other systems are timer controlled.

Built-in devices with 2 elements can provide rapid heating, after which the system switches to the lowest power and lowest heating. The number of modes depends on the heater model.

Possible malfunctions with heated seats

The heating device must have a fuse. On the VAZ-2114, two such elements are responsible for the measured heating operation. One fuse is located in the mounting block (F16), the other is located under the dashboard.

If you notice that the control lamps do not light up when the heating is turned on, the problem most likely lies in the fuses.

Relay problems:

  1. The system is turned on in an electromagnetic relay, which is located under the dashboard.
  2. After the unit is triggered, check the voltage at terminal 87 with a multimeter.
  3. If operation does not occur, then you need to examine the relay winding at terminals 86 and 87 with an ohmmeter.
  4. If the problem lies in the relay, it needs to be replaced.
  1. It is necessary to check the power with the power off at the connectors under the seats.
  2. The black wire is the ground of the car, the second is the power supply, which should have 12 volts.
  3. Use an ohmmeter to check the resistance of the heater windings. As practice shows, the problem most often lies here. The windings burn or break.

Depending on the situation, the problem with heated seats can be solved independently. However, this requires disassembling the chairs.

To summarize the article, we note that we have not considered all the possible reasons why heated seats may not work. But using the information above, you will know which direction to go to identify the problem.

If you have experience in carrying out such a repair plan, then finding the problem will not be difficult for you. Otherwise, we recommend contacting a specialist.

Why do you need heated seats?

This is an important and necessary thing in your car, especially at a time when it is bitterly cold outside. If you very often get into the cabin of a car that has been standing in the cold for a long time, it is not only unpleasant, but also dangerous to the health of the driver and passengers. But at the same time, overheating of the seats also promises problems for those sitting on them, and in some cases for the car.

You can find a lot of information about both the benefits of heating and its inappropriateness. Let's try to understand this information together. Long trips with the heaters on can have a negative impact on men and women. Therefore, you need to be able to use this function correctly and in a timely manner. Sitting in a cabin with leather seats in winter can cause problems for drivers of both sexes, in the form of cystitis or prostatitis.

There are certain, developed and time-tested rules for using heating:

  • Do not allow the seats to become overheated;
  • In a cold car interior, you should turn on the heating system, but do not sit on them for some time;
  • After warming up, the system must be turned off, further heating must be carried out using a heater;
  • There is no need to stay in the salon for a long time in warm clothes.

If you follow these simple rules, you don’t have to worry about overheating and there will be no harm to your health.

To work, you need to first prepare the following set of tools:

  • various screwdrivers and wrenches;
  • multimeter;
  • insulating tape;
  • felt-tip pen or marker;
  • soldering iron;
  • construction knife;
  • pliers;
  • glue;
  • clamps and heat-shrinkable tubes.

Do-it-yourself heated seats for VAZ 2114

Once all the tools and materials are ready, you can start working. First you need to dismantle the chairs and place them in a convenient place. Then completely disassemble them, removing all plastic elements and casing. Place the heating fabric on the seat foam and use a felt-tip pen to make marks along the contour. Using glue, fix the heating fabric along the marks.

Installation of heating elements

Then you need to remove all the power wires and put on the casing. Now the seats can be attached to their places in the car and the power connected. Ideally, connecting the heating elements to the on-board system should be done by an electrician.

Connecting heated seats

But, in principle, you can try to do this work yourself:

  1. Using a multimeter, you need to find the 12 V power supply, ignition and backlight circuits.
  2. Connect the wire (+) of the thermal relay to the ignition switch.
  3. Connect the power cable to the positive terminal of the battery.
  4. Connect the negative wire to ground.
  5. Solder all wire connections using a soldering iron and wrap with electrical tape.
  6. Check the operation of the system.

Below is a diagram of connecting the heated seats of the VAZ 2114 for the Emelya kit.

Keep in mind that the circuit must be assembled in such a way that it only functions when the ignition is on. If you assemble it incorrectly, then forgetting to turn off the heated seats at night, in the morning you will find a completely discharged battery.

Heated seats VAZ 2114: considering options

In the cold season, it can be very uncomfortable in a car without such a useful option as heated seats. Unfortunately, in older models of domestic cars, for example, the VAZ 2114, the manufacturer does not provide this option. But it is quite possible to install heated seats 2114 yourself. This will be discussed in today's article.

Heated seats VAZ 2114

Case – “cloak”

The easiest way to make your interior seats warm is to add an outer cover. You can purchase overhead covers at almost any auto store. The pads are made from ordinary dense fabric, inside of which heating elements are sewn.

A more expensive option is covers made of rubberized fabric; they will last longer than the first option. These “capes” are attached simply – just pull them over the seats and attach them to the springs. The heating elements operate from the cigarette lighter.

Despite the simplicity and cheapness of the method, heating the seats of the VAZ 2114 using a “cowl” cover has several disadvantages:

  1. The covers can only be placed on the front seats.
  2. The cigarette lighter will always be busy.
  3. The product does not have temperature controls, so your seat may become uncomfortably hot.

There is another interesting option - putting new covers on the seats with sewn-in heating elements. This method is good because it allows you to transform the interior of the car, making it more representative, especially if the new covers are made of genuine leather.

Compared to a simple seat cover, such covers have a number of advantages:

  1. The heating is connected to the vehicle's on-board system and does not occupy the cigarette lighter.
  2. You can retighten both the front and rear covers.
  3. Ability to regulate temperature.

Well, you can’t avoid the downsides. The most important thing is that the cost of purchasing the covers will cost a pretty penny.

Standard heating

Standard heated seats on the VAZ 2114 are the best option of all. You just need to buy a seat heating kit from a dealer or a specialized store that sells original spare parts for VAZ.

To install, you need to remove the trim from the seats, glue the heating element, embed the VAZ 2114 seat heating buttons, run all the electrical wires and put the trim back on.

Be careful guys! The first scheme is a fire hazard, control must go through the button, and the button must be powered from the ignition switch so that the load goes only through the relay, otherwise the buttons will burn out along with the car. The weakest heater takes 40 watts, divide by 12 volts, we get more than 3 amperes, the buttons go into the firebox. So: to the 1st terminal of the button there is power from the lock, to the 2nd terminal we connect 86 relays, and 87 relays for heating. And everything will be fine with you. Author, please correct it.

Well, of course I won’t correct it, but the scheme you proposed also has a place to be... But there is one BUT!

Regarding the circuit I proposed: Each button can withstand current up to 8 A, this means that each button has a double current reserve! The system is equipped with a fuse, which in the event of a short circuit will de-energize the system. The button is mechanical, so when it is turned off, a situation cannot arise where the heating remains on. In the case when the relay fails, namely remains in a blocked state, then nothing bad happens, since the switching off is carried out by a button.

Regarding your proposed scheme: All other things being equal, the proposed scheme has a number of disadvantages. In the event that the relay fails and “sticks” in the on position, there is NO way to turn off this heating without interfering with the electrical wiring.

How does your circuit indicate the “on” position? (Orange LED)

The main reason why they decide to move the heating buttons is that access to the buttons will be difficult when installing the armrest in the car. Auto repair shops can move the buttons to any location in the car. The customer most often chooses a panel or doors for this, sometimes asking them to move them on the tunnel. The most popular and easiest to install is the method of transferring heating buttons to the Europanel. Let's consider this installation method using the example of a VAZ 2110 car.

Preliminary work on the installation of the car's electric heating system and Alamar armrests has already been carried out. According to the project, the power window buttons will be moved along the doors. It remains to determine the comfortable position of the keys that control seat heating. For the master, the obvious solution would be to move these buttons closer to the gearshift knob or install ESP instead of keys.

If the car interior is equipped with a Europanel, then the most rational option would be to transfer the necessary buttons to it.

After the installation location of the keys has been determined, it is necessary to proceed to the purchase of the components necessary for the work. First of all, you will need seat heating buttons for the Europanel for a VAZ 2115 model car. It is important to remember that by default such buttons are produced with a locking mechanism, so after installation they will remain pressed when the ignition is turned off. This trouble can be avoided by installing a conventional relay. Then the heating buttons located on the europanel will be synchronized with the ignition (similar to the standard button scheme in the tunnel).

Is modernization possible?

Often, while in the process of modernizing their own car, many drivers try to connect heated seats, which is quite often successful. What’s remarkable is that there is a ready-made circuit that can be easily installed in your car. It is suitable for several models at once: from 2111 to 2115. It should immediately be noted that the pricing policy for this invention is quite diverse, but experts strongly recommend not saving. A poor-quality heating system can fail without working for even a few months.

This is not at all difficult to do even for an ignorant driver. The greatest difficulty is the connection process.

A special button is mounted directly next to the handbrake, allowing the system to be activated at the moment when the driver needs it. All that remains is to connect the wiring. Most often this is done through the ignition relay and cigarette lighter, but variations are also possible, invented by the driver himself. The manufacturer clearly indicates all the nuances, providing the VAZ 2114 seat heating system with a color description. It will be almost impossible to get confused in it. However, if difficulties still arise, you should definitely contact a professional. Electronics are a rather fragile thing that, if handled incorrectly, will instantly fail. The entire car will be damaged.

The easiest way to make your interior seats warm is to add an outer cover. You can purchase overhead covers at almost any auto store. The pads are made from ordinary dense fabric, inside of which heating elements are sewn.

  2. You can retighten both the front and rear covers.
  3. Ability to regulate temperature.

Well, you can’t avoid the downsides. The most important thing is that the cost of purchasing the covers will cost a pretty penny.

How it works?

The main element of such a system is a heating element powered by the on-board network. It is placed in an elastic panel and built into the cushion and backrests of the front seats. Such systems come in two types, one of which is built into the cushions, and the second is made in the form of seat covers. Despite these differences, the principle of their operation is almost the same.

To avoid direct contact with the seat upholstery, the heating elements are covered with a special coating, which makes it easy to copy the contours of the pillows. There are designs with one heating element and with two, but of different power. The heaters are connected to the machine's on-board network via a control unit. Some models have the ability to set the desired temperature.

A temperature sensor is installed in the heater installation area; it monitors the heating temperature and, when the desired value is reached, turns off the power. The system may also have another function that will automatically maintain the heating parameters set by the driver for a long time. Another type of heater can be controlled using a built-in timer.

Also, built-in devices with two heating elements can support a quick warm-up function, after which they automatically switch to lower power and less heating. Some models may have several such modes; they can be selected individually for each seat.

Basic principles of heating operation

The basis of any heating system for interior seats is a heating network, powered, like other electrical appliances, from the vehicle’s on-board network. Being enclosed in a flexible molding, it is built into the cushion and back (without a headrest) of the seat, although if you wish, you can equip a car without this option with heating - simply by purchasing a seat cover that connects to the cigarette lighter.

In order not to melt the filling inside the seat, the contact network, which transfers heat to the outside, is additionally placed in a safe coating that flexibly follows the topography of the chair.

The simplest connection diagram involves just one serial heating circuit with a simple thermal relay that turns the heating off and on, depending on the temperature preset by the factory.

More complex options allow for the presence of not only a temperature sensor, but also a manual regulator that allows you to set the desired degree of heating - thanks to this, instead of aimlessly increasing the temperature, the chair will maintain the same indicator until it turns off.

There are other types of heating options:

  • a timer that turns the heating on and off at certain intervals;
  • separate choice of temperature for the cushion and back of the chair;
  • memory of several selected temperature modes, activated with one click;
  • the presence in the chair of several independent circuits with varying degrees of heating.

As practice shows, the more complex the system, the more weak points it has that can fail, starting with the fuse box and ending with oxidation or broken contacts - if the breakdown lies inside the seat, the repair will take a lot of time and require good skill.
