Fuse box diagram for VAZ 21213 Niva carburetor

About the castle

The ignition switch on the Niva is a part that has a mechanical and electrical part. Each part is responsible for specific functions. The mechanical part protects the car from turning on the ignition with another key and increases the car’s protection against theft. The electrical part (contact group) is responsible for closing the power supply and vehicle control circuits.

Each of the parts can fail, which will lead to the inability to start the engine or stop it altogether.

The order of conventional numbering in the blocks: A - headlight and rear window windshield wipers, windshield wiper relay breaker; B — ignition distributor sensor; B — relay-interrupter for alarm and direction indicators; G - switch; D — three-lever switch; E - hazard warning switch; F - relay for turning on the rear fog light lamps; Z — rear lights; And - instrument clusters of VAZ-21213.

In the instrument panel wiring harness, the second ends of the white wires are brought together to one point, which is connected to the instrument lighting control. The second ends of the black wires are also brought together to a point connected to ground. The second ends of the yellow wires with a blue stripe are brought together to a point connected to terminal “A” of the main fuse block. And the second ends of the orange wires are also brought together to a point connected to terminal “B” of the main fuse block.

Located under the glove box on the passenger side.

Breakdowns

Most often, the contact group fails, since it is made of plastic into which copper contacts are inserted; due to the flow of high currents and weak contact between the brackets, heating occurs. Due to high temperature, the plastic is deformed and damages the contact group.

The mechanical part fails much less often, but it also happens. It becomes damaged due to prolonged use, the springs in the lock sag, the lock becomes loose, which leads to its jamming or the ability to turn it with almost any key, which reduces the car’s protection to zero.

Additional relay block

This block is located above the gas pedal.

Scheme

Description

1. Rear fog lamp relay
2. Rear window heating relay
3. Low beam relay
4. High beam relay

A little higher, above the block, a relay can be installed - a breaker for the turn signals and hazard warning lights.

Separate fuses and relays can be installed under the hood: on cars with ABS, on the left side of the engine compartment near the ABS hydraulic unit, a block with fuses is additionally installed that protect the elements of the anti-lock brake system and the starter relay not far from the starter itself.

Differences between ignition switches

The ignition switches on the Niva are different; on the older VAZ 2121, the ignition switch is from the VAZ 2106, and on the Chevrolet Niva, the ignition switch is from the VAZ 2110.

Ignition switch on Niva until 2009. does not have a common connector, and the wires in it are connected separately. Quite often, when people remove the contacts from the lock, they forget their position and this complicates the assembly process, so it is best to mark the wires first, but if you have already removed the wires and now do not know how to connect them, then you can use the picture below indicating the color of the wires and their connections to a specific contact.

symptoms

The symptomatology of the malfunction has its own characteristics and differs from the burning of an incandescent lamp or damage to the circuit. Thus, if the problem is in the relay, then when turning the switch the driver will see one of the following manifestations:

• The indicator does not light up, the turn signals are off;
• The dashboard indicator and turn signals are constantly on;
• When the relay operates, an uncharacteristic crack (clicks) occurs;
• Within a short time there is a change in the pace of functioning;
• Different response rate compared to alarm.

Replacing the lock

The lock can be replaced either completely or only the contact group. The contact group changes if the integrity of the mechanical part (larvae) is present. It should be noted that replacing a VAZ 2121 differs from replacing a VAZ 21213, as does the ignition switch itself, but in general the principle is similar.

Replacing the ignition switch for VAZ 2121, 21213, 21214

• Remove the negative terminal from the battery;
• Unscrew the plastic steering column cover;
• We remove the connector from the lock (until 2009, there was no common connector on the Niva, but there were separate wires; it is recommended to mark the wires before removing);

• Using a flat-head screwdriver, unscrew the two bolts securing the lock to the steering column;

• Using a narrow, thin screwdriver, you need to press the lock latch and remove it (after inserting the ignition keys into the lock in position “0”);

• Install the lock in the reverse order;

Replacing a lock on a Niva Chevrolet

The ignition switch on a Chevrolet Niva is not secured with nuts, but with special rivets that need to be cut off with a chisel.

• Disconnect the ignition switch connectors;

• We cut off the nuts securing the lock to the steering column;

• We take out the lock;

• Install the new one in the reverse order;

Replacing the contact group

• Remove the retaining ring from the back of the lock;

• We take out the contact group;

• We install a new group by matching all the splines;

Reasons for refusal

As a rule, frequent relay failure is due to the poor quality of components, both those supplied from the factory and those still alive "cooperatives". Combating this can only be done by cautiously approaching the selection or having a few other spare parts. Repairs on a dime are not recommended, although there are examples of restorations “just for fun.” The only difficulty is accessing the place where the relay turns the Niva, change it. it's 2 minutes.

Another reason that can kill the switch is increased voltage in the on-board network as a result of failure of the generator components and the voltage regulator relay. Closing is also possible. In any case, the chain is scanned, starting with a simple one. fuse condition .
