We replace the cigarette lighter on a VAZ-2112 with our own hands: take it out and change it!

Any car cigarette lighter, including the VAZ-2110, was initially designed only for use for its intended purpose. However, over time, “necessary” car gadgets began to appear that needed to be connected somewhere. Since the factory did not provide for the installation of a 12-volt outlet in the car, the cigarette lighter is the power source for vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, televisions, video recorders, compressors and phone chargers. This does not benefit him and quite often he breaks down at best.

At worst, a connected gadget left unattended can lead to a fire.

Cigarette lighter diagram for VAZ-2110

Cigarette lighter connection diagram.

When starting to search for any malfunction, you first need to understand the operating principle and structure of the mechanism or circuit. With the cigarette lighter everything is relatively simple. We look at the device connection diagram and look for the weak link.

Troubleshooting

In any case, the breakdown can be either mechanical or electrical in nature.

Mechanical damage to the cigarette lighter socket is quite rare, although it can be damaged by a poor-quality or incorrectly selected plug. Based on the diagram shown above, the cigarette lighter is standardly connected to one power output from the mounting block with the glove compartment lighting lamp.

This is the first clue - if the cigarette lighter does not work, but the glove compartment lamp is on, the problem is either in the cigarette lighter mechanism itself ( spiral, contacts, resistor ), or in a broken wire in the area from the power terminal to terminal 25 of the mounting block.

Circuit breakers

Cigarette lighter fuse 25A, marked with arrow

However, fuses are the first to come under suspicion. If the cigarette lighter does not warm up within 20 seconds and the glove compartment lamp does not light up, most likely the 25A fuse F18 . It is located in the mounting block to the left of the driver.

There is another 15 A , which is connected to the cigarette lighter circuit. There is a socket on it and this may also be the cause of the malfunction. This fuse is marked with the symbols F6. In some modifications of the VAZ-2110, depending on the year of manufacture, both the cigarette lighter and the heater motor are connected to one circuit of fuse F18.

Therefore, checking the integrity of the fuse in these cases is also simple - the motor does not spin, which means the fuse has burned out.

Why do fuses burn?

Each consumer of electricity on board the car is designed for a certain power and a certain current consumption, measured in Amperes . If we plug in a video recorder, navigator, or charge a phone into the cigarette lighter through a splitter, it is not surprising that the fuse simply fails. Saving our wiring from overheating and short circuit, it melts, breaking the circuit.

That is why it is important to take into account the current consumption of additional devices - a compressor, a refrigerator and other architectural excesses. Both the power and the current consumed by the device must be indicated on the body of the device. It is highly undesirable to include powerful devices in the cigarette lighter circuit, as well as use splitters and plugs of dubious quality.

This could ultimately lead to a fire in the wiring.

Melted cigarette lighter wires.

It is not for nothing that in many imported cars the manufacturer has completely abandoned the cigarette lighter, and instead installs 12-volt sockets in the front part of the cabin (as is done in the same second-generation Ford Focus).

Checking the wiring

If the fuse is intact and we haven’t plugged any vacuum cleaners into the cigarette lighter, most likely the problem is in the contacts or wiring.

To check the cigarette lighter power wiring, we need to remove the center console by unscrewing several screws. Most often, the contact disappears in the contact chips, which are located to the left of the passenger behind the console casing:

    Unscrew the console cover.

Remove the cover from the passenger seat.

We take out and check the blocks with wires.

Check the cigarette lighter for a break or short circuit.

Cigarette lighter inspection

Lastly, we inspect the cigarette lighter itself.

It rarely fails, but if it does, we won’t disassemble it, it’s not the king’s business. We buy a new one.

New cigarette lighter assembly.

  • Its price is about 400-500 rubles , and the catalog number is 2123-3725010 or 2123-3725/111.3725 , the manufacturer is usually SOTE.

The cigarette lighter may need to be replaced if the product stops functioning. The reasons for mechanism failure are the following factors:

  1. The socket fuse has blown. Occurs in frequent cases if the outlet is used to connect several devices as a splitter. After all, a 10-amp fuse is not designed for large current overloads, so in frequent cases it fails. In order to repair the cigarette lighter, you simply need to replace the fuse with a new one.
  2. Oxidation of device contacts. To carry out repairs, you will need to remove the mechanism and clean the contacts.
  3. Closing the contacts of the product. Contact melting occurs when inept owners replace a 10A fuse with a 15A one. As a result, this leads to the wiring in the car “burning” or the contacts melting. To fix the problem, you need to remove the device and make repairs based on the breakdown.
  4. Faulty filament coil. In order to repair the product, it is necessary to replace the head with a new one. The cost of the product does not exceed 150 rubles.

If the product is used frequently, it may fail. According to the instructions, the cigarette lighter head should snap out when you press it after 10-20 seconds. Over time, this period of time increases, and at one point the product stops functioning altogether. Let’s find out in more detail what the connection diagram for the cigarette lighter on a VAZ “classic” is.

Cigarette lighter electrical circuit

The cigarette lighter socket of the “seven”, like any other inexpensive car, has the following connection diagram:

  • “Power” is a red wire, one part of which powers the clock in the car.
  • The yellow wire is the power supply for the backlight.
  • “Ground” is a black wire.

The fuse, which is responsible for protecting the product, is located in the mounting block at number 6. In modern cars, power to the cigarette lighter usually comes not directly from the battery, but through the ignition switch. As a result, power is not supplied until the ignition key is turned. This is done in order to preserve battery charge during long periods of parking.

Let's find out how to change the cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2107, and what the procedure is.

Features of device replacement

Self-replacement of the mechanism is carried out as follows:

  • First you need to remove the negative terminal from the battery. After this, dismantle the panel with the clock.
  • Using pliers you need to tighten the metal rim on the cigarette lighter.
  • Now you can dismantle the product.
  • After removing the socket, it is necessary to inspect it and, if necessary, replace it.
  • To replace a product, you need to switch the power wires to the new device, and then install it in place in the reverse order of removal.

After this procedure is completed, you can connect the negative terminal to the battery and turn on the product. After 15 seconds, the head should snap off, which indicates that the product is working properly. After making sure that the product is functioning, you can check the serviceability of the old head. If the old head does not snap off, then it cannot be repaired. Despite the fact that the product in question is not fancy, it requires periodic maintenance. In frequent cases, the fuse simply fails, so you should always have a couple of new products in stock.

Cigarette lighter VAZ 2110

If your car's cigarette lighter socket is not working, you will need to replace it. In a VAZ 2110 car, replacing the cigarette lighter is not too painstaking work. But before that, it will be necessary to test it, that is, check whether it really does not work. Replacing the cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2110 can be easily done with your own hands.

VAZ 2111 wiring diagram: differences caused by different power units

VAZ 2111 is the first station wagon in the line of front-wheel drive cars of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. It represents a modernized concept of the station wagon body, which was implemented for many years by the rear-wheel drive VAZ 2104. Accordingly, the VAZ 2111 wiring diagram for the injector and a number of other components have undergone changes as part of the change in concept.

Check and replacement

Replacing the cigarette lighter in a VAZ 2110

  • Turn on the ignition.
  • Insert the cigarette lighter into the socket.
  • Wait 10-15 seconds.
  • Take it out.

Note: if it has not warmed up during this time, then it really does not work.

Replacing the cigarette lighter for VAZ 2110

Of course, you can go to a dealership to have it replaced by a qualified automotive technician, but you can also replace and install it yourself to save money. Replacement instructions:

  • First you need to find a fuse (see VAZ 2110: how to replace fuses) that protects the cigarette lighter from spontaneous combustion. To easily remove it, you need to break the chain.

Note: Removing the fuse is important because if the wiring located at the top is tangled, it can cause damage to other electrical things in the car. The wiring will simply burn out and will need to be replaced. Before you begin replacing the fuse that protects against spontaneous combustion, you should read the machine's user manual.

  • Now you have to remove the faulty device. To do this, you need to take a flat screwdriver and insert it into the slot (the cigarette is placed there). The screwdriver needs to be turned several times.

Note: this should be done extremely carefully so as not to tear out the socket, since in this case the other cigarette lighter is unlikely to function normally.

The process of replacing the cigarette lighter of a VAZ 2110

  • If this method does not work, you will have to try to release the metal clips that hold it in place.

Note: these clamps are very easy to unfold, but there is no need to rush. It is better to do the work longer, but with better quality.

VAZ 2110 how to remove the cigarette lighter

  • After removing it, you will have access to two wires with spade connectors. You need to remove both wires so that they are completely disconnected.

Note: if they are not turned off, they may short out and catch fire during operation.

  • Now it will be much easier to replace this device. It is necessary to connect the spade-shaped connectors to the peaks located on the back of the device. You need to insert the black into black and white into white wires accordingly.

Note: otherwise the circuit will not be closed and the device will not work.

  • After connecting the wires, you can install it in place by pushing it into the hole provided for this.

Note: Press it lightly and then twist it clockwise until it is secured by the two metal clips. He must be motionless.

  • Now all that's left is to replace the fuse in the fuse box (if it doesn't work) or install the old one.

Note: this is a prerequisite, since without it a short circuit is possible.

Installing an additional cigarette lighter

VAZ 2110 how to connect the cigarette lighter

For some people, one cigarette lighter is not enough, so they need another one - an additional one. It can be installed under the cover of the on-board control system connector, as there is enough space there. Of course, you can do this in another convenient place.

VAZ 2110 does not work from the cigarette lighter

  • Make a small hole under the connector cover.

Note: It is important that you have access to the factory cigarette lighter wires. It will be much less hassle if you combine the additional one with the standard one. If it is located far away, then a long wire can be used to connect them.

  • Connect the wires of the additional cigarette lighter with the wires of the standard one. The colors must match each other.

VAZ 2110 no cigarette lighter light

Note: it is imperative to put it through a fuse, which will protect against spontaneous combustion. In principle, a 10 A fuse is enough. Even this will prevent a short circuit.

  • Place the additional cigarette lighter in the hole already made and secure it.

How to connect a device to a cigarette lighter without a plug

VAZ 2110 connecting the cigarette lighter

It is not always possible to have a plug at hand that will allow you to connect an electrical device to the car’s cigarette lighter. However, you can make a plug yourself:

Note: the case must be leather.

  • Take two wires and insert them inside the case.

Note: There are usually small holes in the corners of the case. If they don’t exist, then you need to make them yourself. The wires need to be inserted exactly there.

  • The plus is located in the center of the case, so the positive wire must be twisted towards the center.
  • In this case, the negative wire should be clamped in the opposite direction (when the cover is completely screwed in).
  • Insert the resulting plug into the cigarette lighter.

How does the controller monitor the operation of the injector?

When determining the specific position and opening time of the injector design, the specific volume of fuel entering the valves of the VAZ-2110 cylinder is determined. At the same time, thanks to special sensors installed on the motor, the on-board computer records specific values ​​and transmits them to the controller.

Subsequently, the controller, based on the information coming from the on-board computer, makes a decision on the position and duration of opening of the injector damper. If the controller malfunctions, the injectors will not be adjusted correctly, and the engine may stall while driving.

Required Tools

Before dismantling the cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2110, repairing it or installing a new device, or replacing a fuse, you will need to stock up on suitable devices. To work you will need:

  • Phillips and standard screwdriver;
  • protective gloves.

To fix a broken cigarette lighter or fuse, the following will be useful:

  • multitester;
  • blowtorch with solder;
  • heat shrink tubes, electrical tape;
  • wire cutters;
  • needle file

Frequent problems and ways to solve them

Before changing the cigarette lighter, you should inspect other common breakdown areas. It may be possible to repair the part without replacing or dismantling it.

Frequent problems include:

  1. Blown fuse. To check this element, you need to connect a standard 12-volt lamp to the socket, and then turn the ignition key. If the lamp does not light, the fuse has blown. It needs to be removed and replaced. You need to get to the block under the front panel and remove the non-working element.
  2. Loose or oxidized contacts. It is necessary to check the connectors of the VAZ car cigarette lighter for the presence of rust, tighten them for tight contact.
  3. Fallen wires. There is an age issue that should also be taken into account. To eliminate this, you should solder them to their seats.
  4. Burnt out spiral. Treated by dismantling and installing a new nest. To extend the lifespan, it is advisable not to connect devices with high current strength, such as a compressor for inflating tires.

Why did the cigarette lighter break?

Over time, the device may stop working. The most common reasons why a VAZ cigarette lighter breaks.

  1. Blown fuse. The element protects the circuit from wire melting or fire. If the maximum permissible current parameters are exceeded, the fuse fails. It is necessary to remove it from the mounting block. Fuse F18 should be replaced with a serviceable element with the same rating (25 amperes).
  2. Cigarette lighter wiring broken or short circuited. If a car fuse burns frequently, it means there is a short in the circuit. This failure should be diagnosed using a multitester. The wires coming to the cigarette lighter are tested for resistance. The fuse blows.
  3. Poor contact. Over time, the connector on the VAZ 2110 may become loose and the contacts may oxidize, not guaranteeing a good connection. The repair is simple - you need to remove the cigarette lighter from the socket, process the contact points with a file and bend them for better fixation of the device.
  4. Burnt out spiral. The metal thread located inside the device on the VAZ 2110 can burn out due to frequent thermal exposure, and the fuse trips. It is worth replacing the cigarette lighter.
  5. A burnt-out backlight bulb in a VAZ 2110. There is additional lighting around the device itself to help you find the device in the dark. Over time, the light bulb may also stop lighting and the fuse will trip. You will need to remove the burnt element and then replace it with a working one.

Methods for checking the generator

Specialized car services use expensive stands to test the generator. You can check the functionality of the BAZ 2110 generator yourself only on the car. For this you will need a tester or digital voltmeter.

  1. Before starting the engine, you need to measure the voltage in the car's electrical network. Usually this indicator is within 11-13 V.
  2. Now the car starts and the freeze repeats. If the numbers on the display do not change after 30-60 hours of engine operation, then the generator does not charge. A working device increases the voltage in the on-board network to 14.2-14.7 V. Exceeding this threshold is evidence of failure of the relay controller.
  3. To find out the cause of the whistling noise in the engine compartment, you must first check the tension of the drive belt. If the timing belt is loose, adjustments must be made. When the belt is not to blame for the unpleasant noise, it must be removed from the pulley. After starting the engine, the absence of noise will indicate that the source of the unpleasant sounds is the generator. Holding the pulley with your hand, you need to make several strong rotations and listen. If the rotation slows down quickly and noise is present, it is necessary to begin removing the device and disassembling it.

Maybe the fuse has blown?

Before removing and replacing the VAZ 2110 cigarette lighter, you should check the serviceability of the protective element. This is a fairly common failure. The car circuit in this area is protected by a 25 ampere fuse. This means that devices with a total power of more than 300 W (12 volts * 25 amperes = 300 watts) cannot be connected to the socket.

Otherwise, the fuse on the VAZ 2110 will blow out. A hint that it was he who “gave up” is the failure of the heater fan. If the device does not work, the fuse should be replaced. The location of the mounting block is to the left of the steering column, behind the decorative panel trim.

To make it easier to pull out the fuse, you should use tweezers. It is necessary to change the part with index F-18. The fuse rating is 25 amperes. It is prohibited to install parts designed to carry high current. An unsuitable fuse may result in a short circuit, damage to wiring cables, or fire.

Ignition module

The contactless circuit is based on the use of an electronic ignition module. It is made non-separable, and if it breaks, you just need to replace it - the price of this part is not high, and does not greatly affect operating costs.

Structurally consists of:

Conclusions: VAZ 2111 cars have proven themselves to be the best both in terms of driving performance and operation. The good news is that the main components and electrical circuits correspond to the declared service life.

  10. We remove the device in order to repair or replace it.
  11. Installation of the device is carried out in the reverse order.

Rotor slip rings

If there are small scratches or nicks on their surface, then you need to sand the surface with fine-grained sandpaper. You can also remove a small layer of metal using a lathe and then sand it down. If the rings cannot be repaired using these methods, they must be replaced.

To remove it, you must first remove the rear bearing (how to do this was described earlier). Then remove the crosspiece - the protective casing of the rotor contacts. We bend these contacts and remove the slip rings with force.

After lubrication, new rings are installed on the anchor using a hammer. We bend the contacts and solder them to the rotor winding. We protect the soldering area with varnish. Then we put on the cross and bearing.

How to quickly remove the cigarette lighter of a VAZ 2110

There is an easier way that allows you to remove the device without dismantling the tunnel. You can quickly remove the device on a VAZ 2110 as follows:

  1. We de-energize the circuit.
  2. We dismantle the metal cartridge.
  3. Using scissors or a minus screwdriver, we tighten the fixing antennae inside the cartridge and pull it out.
  4. Unclip the wire block.
  5. We dismantle the plastic filter, carefully prying up its edges.

The video will help you understand how to remove the cigarette lighter and replace the fuse on a VAZ 2110 car.

Power units

First of all, significant changes have occurred in the engine compartment, since the VAZ 2111 is equipped with 6 different engines:

The photo above shows the control diagram of the power unit. It is marked:

For reference: the “brains” of the injection and contactless ignition system are the controller and ECM, which work together with the standard anti-theft system. Its role is played by the immobilizer (no. 17 in the diagram).

Changing the cigarette lighter light bulb

Sometimes the backlight of the device burns out and the fuse trips. This will require dismantling the filter and replacing the light bulb. It’s easy to do work on a VAZ 2110.

  1. Remove the terminal from the car battery.
  2. We take out the metal cylinder.
  3. We bend the fixing antennae and remove the device from the hole.
  4. Disconnect the wire block.
  5. Remove the filter ring.
  6. We squeeze the lamp screen so that the legs come out of the slots.
  7. Remove the light bulb by turning it 90 degrees.
  8. We install a new element, and then assemble the device, following the reverse procedure.

Connecting an additional cigarette lighter

Some car owners install another socket. You will need:

  • drill or screwdriver with a set of metal drills;
  • a crown for cutting out a hole, the diameter must match the diameter of the car cigarette lighter;
  • file;
  • soldering iron with solder;
  • wire cutters;
  • screwdrivers;
  • multitester;
  • heat-shrink tubing;
  • wire of suitable cross-section;
  • fuse that can withstand the current recommended by the manufacturer - 25 amperes.
  1. We turn off the power to the car and choose a place to connect an additional cigarette lighter. It is desirable that it be a flat surface.
  2. We drill a hole of a suitable diameter and clean the edges with a file.
  3. We connect to the wiring, observing the polarity and passing them through the fuse.
  4. We check the functionality of the model and carry out assembly.

How to connect the device to a cigarette lighter without a plug

Some owners decide to abandon the device itself and prefer to install other devices directly. To connect the device directly without a plug you will need:

  1. We dismantle the car cigarette lighter, gaining access to the cables.
  2. We connect the wires of the installed device, observing the polarity.
  3. We carry out the assembly.
  1. A constant minus. Comes to the car body.
  2. A constant plus. Connects through a fuse to the battery.
  3. Plus, coming up to the backlight bulb.

Finishing touch

The standard warm-up period is 20 seconds. Well, or 15-25 seconds (no more). Therefore, before assembly, adjustments are made:

  1. Temporarily connect the battery;
  2. Power is supplied to the cigarette lighter socket. Install the moving part.
  3. Warming up occurs at a constant speed, but the “automatic” mode can be configured in different ways. To change the response threshold, squeeze or bend the two tabs on the body. Take the test.
    Cigarette lighter socket housing

Cigarette lighter not from ignition

There is a way to connect directly to the car battery. This scheme has advantages: if you connect the cigarette lighter directly to the battery, you can avoid interfering with the wiring itself and the fuse. The work will take less time; the positive cables should be led directly to the battery, and the negative cables should be attached to the car body.

It is also important to remember that you need to select the right spare parts. Initially, this concerns the wires. Each square millimeter of cross-section is designed for 5-10 amperes of current. Should be taken with reserve. A cross-section of 3–5 mm is quite sufficient to transmit the required voltage. Otherwise, the wires may burn and the fuse will trip. This will result in a risk of short circuit. The circuit should be routed through an additional fuse with a rating specified by the manufacturer.
