Device design
ten The three-speed windshield wiper system is one of the most vulnerable in the domestic “ten”. Almost any component can play the role of a weak point: steering column switch, relays, fuses, gear motor.
The design of the windshield washer on the VAZ 2101 consists of a gearmotor powered by an incoming current that drives the washers, a switch, a switch, a relay for switching on the intermittent mode, an additional relay, etc.
Glass cleaner device
The node consists of:
- Windshield wiper trapezoids: with its help, the motor transmits movement. It wears out quickly, so sometimes repairs to the trapezoid are necessary.
- An electric motor drives the wipers of the VAZ 2110. If the motor burns out, the entire unit will fail.
- The windshield wiper pump pumps cleaning fluid. If the electric pump breaks down, then, despite the operation of the wipers, the windshield will not be cleaned.
- The purpose of the tank is obvious - window cleaning liquid is poured into it.
Thanks to the electric motor, the wipers on the VAZ 2110 can operate in three modes:
- Intermittent. The switch lever is in positions II and III.
- Constant - with a low speed of movement of the brushes. The switch lever is in position IV.
- Constant - with fast movement of the wipers. In this case, the shift lever is in position V.
Wiper circuit
First, let's try to understand how the windshield wiper circuit on the VAZ 2110 works and what components form a solid unit called a windshield wiper.
Device | Characteristic |
Electric motor | It is responsible for rotating the wipers at different intensities. The electric motor contains a gearbox, and the motor itself operates due to the DC current supply. There are three built-in blades in the armature of the engine, providing three operating modes of the windshield wiper - fast, slow and with pauses. Although it is believed that the VAZ 2110 has only two brush rotation speeds |
Electrical components | This is a steering column switch, a wiper relay, which allows you to activate the intermittent movement of the brushes. Plus, don't forget about the switch. The entire electrical system is integrated into wires running through a bimetallic heat-resistant fuse. It is important to note that both relays and fuse F5 are located in the mounting block, and the bimetallic fuse and switch are in the motor gearbox |
Windscreen wipers | At the same time, the size of the wipers on the VAZ 2110 may be different, which we will talk about later. They differ in shape, material of manufacture, device |
Mechanical drive | An important component, which, alas, often breaks down at “ten” |
Stories from our readers
“Fucking basin. "
Hi all! My name is Mikhail, now I’ll tell you a story about how I managed to exchange my two-wheeler for a 2010 Camry. It all started with the fact that I began to be wildly irritated by the breakdowns of the two-wheeler, it seemed like nothing serious was broken, but damn it, there were so many little things that really started to irritate me. This is where the idea arose that it was time to change the car to a foreign car. The choice fell on the melting Camry of the tenth years.
Yes, I had matured morally, but financially I just couldn’t handle it. I’ll say right away that I am against loans and taking a car, especially not a new one, on credit is unreasonable. My salary is 24k a month, so collecting 600-700 thousand is almost impossible for me. I started looking for different ways to make money on the Internet. You can’t imagine how many scams there are, what I haven’t tried: sports betting, network marketing, and even the volcano casino, where I successfully lost about 10 thousand ((The only direction in which it seemed to me that I could make money was currency trading on the stock exchange, they call it Forex. But when I started delving into it, I realized that it was very difficult for me. I continued to dig further and came across binary options. The essence is the same as in Forex, but it’s much easier to understand. I started reading forums, studying trading strategies. I tried it on a demo account, then opened a real account. To be honest, I didn’t manage to start earning money right away, until I understood all the mechanics of options, I lost about 3,000 rubles, but as it turned out, it was a precious experience. Now I earn 5-7 thousand rubles a day. I managed to get the car buy after half a year, but in my opinion this is a good result, and it’s not about the car, my life has changed, I naturally quit my job, I have more free time for myself and my family. You’ll laugh, but I work directly on the phone)) If If you want to change your life like me, then here’s what I advise you to do right now: 1. Register on the site 2. Practice on a Demo account (it’s free). 3. As soon as you get something on the Demo account, top up your REAL ACCOUNT and go to REAL MONEY! I also advise you to download the application to your phone, it’s much more convenient to work from your phone. Download here.
1. Check fuse F9 20A in the mounting block. 2. At the same time, we check the relay for switching on the windshield wipers and windshield washers (install a known good one for testing, check that the relay is not installed on the other side). A faulty relay occurs when the intermittent wiper mode does not work. 3. Poor electrical contact. There can be many options, for example, the wiring has melted, poor ground contact, poor contact in the block with the wires in the engine compartment due to exposure to moisture, faulty mounting block, etc. We check the presence of voltage on the electric motor pads. 4. The steering column switch is faulty. 5. The nuts on the trapezoid have become unscrewed or loosened. For example, a nut securing the crank to the gearbox axle. Check the windshield wiper trapezoid, tighten the nuts. 6. The windshield wiper trapezoid is jammed. Repair, lubricate or replace. 7. The electric motor is faulty or its fuse (separate) has blown. We check the voltage supply. If necessary, we repair or replace with a new one.
If the windshield washer does not work, check:
- presence of water in the tank;
- condition of the windshield washer pipes;
- relay and fuse F9 20A;
- washer motor.
Let us remind you that if you are not satisfied with the operation of the windshield wiper, then by modifying the washer system as a whole, or separately, for example, increase the cleaning area of the wipers or modify the relay.
Have you encountered a malfunction in the operation of your car wipers?
If it's snowing or raining outside, wipers become indispensable elements of the car.
Wiper elements for VAZ 2110
In our material we will talk about the mechanism of the VAZ 2110 wipers, discuss the main reasons for their malfunction, the issue of repair and the search for alternative options to standard windshield wipers.
Mechanical faults
Every owner of the tenth model probably noticed clicks and noise coming from the gearmotor located on the left when activating the windshield wiper system. Therefore, at the initial stage of solving the question of why the wipers do not work on the VAZ 2110, you should pay attention specifically to the nature of the operation of this unit.
The electric motor does not show any signs of operability - it is necessary to inspect fuse F5 in the mounting block located on the left under the headlight beam hydraulic corrector. A serviceable fuse primarily serves as an indicator of problems in the electric drive feeding system.
A multimeter will help you identify the faulty area: you need to “ring” the circuit in resistance mode from the fuse to the gearmotor and steering column lever, and even the switch itself. The multimeter induces zero: the section is serviceable, an infinitely large value is a reason to inspect the terminals and wires.
The malfunction is resolved by the following steps:
- clean/crimp the terminals in the fuse block, contact connectors of the steering column switch and gearmotor;
- replace wires;
- replace the lever on the steering column that activates the windshield wipers.
Relay K2 type 524.3747, located in the mounting block, is responsible for the operation of the windshield wipers in cycles with pauses (I and II positions). The system does not operate in intermittent mode - a reason for a detailed inspection and replacement of the relay. Under such circumstances, the steering column switch should also be “sinned”.
Something to keep in mind! If the relay is defective, the windshield wipers operate completely unprecedentedly in the third extreme position of the right steering column switch.
However, a faulty relay does not always stop the operation of the unit in intermittent mode. Windshield wipers can effectively perform their function in positions I and II, however, the presence of a defect in the relay will be indicated by the absence of pauses between sweeps of the brushes, characteristic of these modes.
Along the way, finding out other reasons why the wipers on the VAZ 2110 do not work intermittently with pauses, you should inspect the limit switch located on the gear motor cover:
- the oxidized layer should be removed;
- burnt contacts must be cleaned;
- Contact petals should be bent if necessary.
A non-working electric motor, absence of a click and conditional fuse F5 - a combination of these circumstances may well indicate serious malfunctions in the gearmotor, which are often eliminated by replacing the assembly:
- stuck brushes that provide electrical connection between the rotor and stator circuits;
- dirty collector located on the electric motor rotor;
- burnt collector;
- break in the armature winding.
The second scenario is no less critical: the electric motor does not turn on, and either a click is heard or fuse F5 fails.
Attention! In this case, the steering column switch should be immediately returned to the basic zero position.
In the worst case scenario, these signals indicate a short circuit in the motor winding and the need to replace the gearmotor assembly. Often, such symptoms confirm the presence of trivial faults: frozen blades or windshield wipers touching body parts.
mechanics Often the wipers on a VAZ 2110 car do not work due to a banal loosening of the nut that presses the brush holder to the trapezoid shaft. You can restore the system's functionality instantly by adjusting the angle of the brush and tightening the lever with a nut.
An unscrewed nut that facilitates the transmission of torque from the gearbox to the trapezoid can be reported by one of two events:
- the electric motor remains operational in all modes, but both brushes do not move;
- the brushes spontaneously stop working in an intermediate position.
However, stopping of the brush holders in an arbitrary position can occur due to poor pressing of the “limit switch” contacts to the gear motor gear or oxidation/burning of the same contacts. And the brushes are not able to move even after chipping the teeth of the gears, which do not have a long service life - after all, they are made of plastic.
It includes:
- The electric motor of the windshield wiper itself;
- Windshield washer motor;
- The windshield wiper and washer switch is located under the steering wheel of the VAZ 2110;
- The main and additional relays are located in the mounting block and provide cyclic operation of the wipers;
- Bimetallic fuse is thermal in type; its limit switch is located in the gearbox of the windshield wiper motor.
- The brushes themselves - their working part is made of rubber and is subject to fairly rapid wear;
- A trapezoid is a structure made of metal guides; they ensure the conversion of the rotation of the electric motor into the actual operation of the wipers. The trapezoid is subject to deformation and clogging of the joints.
Accordingly, from the structure of the windshield wiper assembly, it follows that all breakdowns belong to two groups:
- If, after turning on the wipers, their electric motor is clearly working, but the wipers themselves do not move or twitch convulsively, then the reason for this is the loosening of the nut securing the trapezoid crank of the wipers to the axis of the electric motor gearbox. Sometimes this nut does not just loosen, but is completely twisted.
- The wipers work, but the synchronization and smoothness of their movements are disrupted. In this case, the cause of the breakdown is the so-called “leash”. The nut holding it in place loosens.
Both of the considered breakdowns can be corrected by simply tightening the nut securing the wiper units. Of course, before this you need to put the wipers themselves (their mechanical part) in the correct starting position.
- The electric motor does not work completely. After turning on the wipers, you can’t hear them working and the wipers themselves remain motionless. The cause of this breakdown will most likely be stuck motor brushes - then they need to be returned to the correct position. Less often, the armature burns out - in this case, you will have to completely replace both the electric motor and the gearbox (they are sold only as a set).
- You can't hear the electric motor running. The wipers also don't move. After they are turned on, only the click of the bimetallic fuse is heard. The reason for this in winter is almost always freezing of the electric motor brushes. Often after this, when persistently trying to turn on the wipers, the bimetallic fuse or, less often, the electric motor armature itself blows. This problem can be easily solved by simply thawing the brushes and removing moisture from them. In more serious cases, you need to replace it with a new fuse or the electric motor itself.
- The wipers work, but in intermittent mode they continue to run continuously. At the same time, there are no sounds of alternating rotation of the electric motor armature. This problem is usually solved by simply replacing the control relay. But before doing this, you just need to check and re-clean the contacts of the limit switch - they sometimes oxidize or burn.
- The work of the wipers is carried out slowly and with stops in unpredictable places of the working stroke. The windshield wipers do not occupy the lower position at all. In this case, the cause is most often the limit switch - you need to adjust it by bending the contacts. If incorrect operation continues, the electric motor will have to be completely replaced.
All work on servicing VAZ 2110 windshield wipers begins with disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery. After this, the frill is disconnected. It is advisable to do this, since all subsequent operations are significantly speeded up.
Next, unscrew the mounting bolts and remove the entire structure of the wipers by moving them towards you. Their installation is carried out in reverse order.
Replacing wipers
When repairing an electrical component, you must first remove the dashboard to gain access and possibly replace the relay or fuse. After this, you can disassemble the steering column - the switch is located here. It also often needs to be replaced (for example, due to damaged insulation).
Often it is necessary to completely replace the wipers. Here you need to remember the following - wipers for all years of production of the VAZ 2110 are identical and interchangeable. If any other wipers are used (for example, foreign-made), then you need to make sure that their sizes match. The length of the VAZ 2110 wipers is exactly 20 inches (50.8 cm).
Wiring
It is easy to modify or replace wipers. To do this you need to take several sequential steps:
- Disconnect the negative cable from the battery;
- Pull the wiper towards you;
- Remove the existing brushes;
- If there is a decorative trim, remove it;
- Unscrew the mounting bolt, thereby removing the old wiper;
- Compare the dimensions of the old and new cleaner;
- Ideally, the new device should not exceed the old one by more than 20 millimeters;
- Reverse the assembly procedure.
As you can see, changing windshield wipers is not difficult. But with the repair procedure, everything is somewhat different. But following the instructions, even an inexperienced VAZ 2110 owner will be able to do everything with his own hands.

The causes of windshield wiper malfunction can be either mechanical or electrical. We start troubleshooting first with the fuse, and then we disassemble the rest.
Mechanical problems may include the following symptoms:
- When the windshield wiper is turned on, you can hear the wiper motor running, but the blades do not move. This may primarily be caused by a loose or loose nut that secures the crank to the gearbox axle.
- If the brushes do not work synchronously, the reason may be the driver - its fastening nut has become loose.
Windshield wiper diagram for VAZ 2110
Electrical faults have the following symptoms:
- The brushes do not occupy an extreme position, they stop anywhere and move slowly. The cause may be the ring switch. In this case, you need to bend the contacts. If this does not help, you need to replace the wiper motor assembly, as it is sold with a gearbox.
- The intermittent mode is turned on, and the brushes work continuously, then the problem is in the relay, it needs to be replaced. If the replacement does not help, then it is likely that the contacts on the limit switch have oxidized or burnt.
- If, when you turn on the windshield wiper, the windshield wipers and armature do not work, then the blades may have frozen. Another reason could be a burnt anchor.
- The electric motor does not work, but the fuses are good. In this case, it is necessary to check the contacts that the wiper drive has, as well as the motor. It is possible that the VAZ windshield wiper blades are stuck or the armature is burnt out.

Wipers do not work on VAZ 2110: causes and solution to the problem
In practice, repairing wipers on a VAZ 2110 is not at all difficult if you have at least basic experience in working with a car and its electrical components.
Unscrew the fixing nut
First, let's figure out how to remove the wipers on a VAZ 2110. The design provides several fasteners, by unscrewing which you can easily remove the wipers themselves.
But with disassembling the windshield wiper assembly, everything is a little more complicated. It is analyzed as follows.
- Remove the dashboard.
- On the left side, find the relay that is attached to the body. If it is broken, there is no point in repairing it. Just install a new relay.
- Next, check the condition of the fuse that controls the operation of the windshield wiper drive.
- Disassemble the steering column to allow you to examine the state of the switch. If the insulation is damaged or there is other damage, replace the unit.
- Unscrew the electric motor from the body and check it in action. If the damage is not serious, it can be repaired. It's better to immediately replace it along with the relay.
- Check the drive. It is not uncommon for a pulley to break on it, which is why the device has to be replaced with a new one.
- Make sure the trapezoid is in good condition. It may be necessary to replace the windshield wiper trapezium on a VAZ 2110 if, during operation of the car, the lubrication of the device has deteriorated and all kinds of debris and water have gotten in there. If the lubrication does not work properly, the plastic bushings of the hinges wear out, causing play and increasing resistance during operation of the device. The trapezoid itself serves to transmit force from the electric motor to the windshield wiper arms.
Most car owners of the domestic “ten” are accustomed to replacing worn out and faulty windshield wipers with similar ones.
Often this happens because they do not see alternatives and are not familiar with them.
For all VAZ 2110 models, regardless of the year of manufacture, it is possible to install windshield wipers for the driver and passenger sides of the same size - 20 inches. The length of the brush is 508 millimeters.
But this size can be increased to 530 millimeters. It is not recommended to install more, since this way the windshield wiper will not be able to work effectively, and the drive simply will not cope with the load. As a result, too long brushes cause squeaking and jerky work. Plus, don’t count on a long service life of the wiper mechanisms.
The original windshield wipers for the 10 are quite good. But there are more expensive, but also more highly efficient, high-quality devices.
Today it is fashionable to use frameless wipers, especially from Bosch. Their advantages lie in their compactness and a special, reliable leash mechanism.
But as practice shows, on the windshield of the VAZ 2110, as well as other VAZ models, they do not look very nice, because the fasteners on the leash turn out to be massive. Although if you modify them a little, you will get a very good result.
To repair the unit you will need the following materials and tools:
- set of sockets and keys;
- screwdrivers;
- WD-40 liquid;
- old rags;
- trapezoid repair kit in case of need for replacement or windshield wiper repair kit for VAZ 2110;
- other parts requiring replacement.
To repair the windshield wiper, you need to disassemble it:
- First you need to remove the instrument panel.
- Next, you should find the VAZ 2110 wiper relay, which is screwed to the body. If it doesn't work, it needs to be replaced.
- It is advisable to remove the frill so that it does not interfere with disassembling the unit.
- Now you need to check the fuse that is responsible for the operation of the VAZ 2110 wiper drive.
The next step is to disassemble the steering column to check the switch. If it has significant damage, it needs to be replaced (the author of the video is “In Sandro’s Garage”).
- Next, you need to dismantle the motor and check it. If replacement is necessary, replace the windshield wiper motor and gear motor assembly.
- If the windshield washer reservoir or pump is damaged, it must be replaced.
- Be sure to check the size and condition of the brushes: they must meet the standards specified in the manual. Their length is important as they must cover the entire surface of the windshield.
When choosing glass cleaners, you need to pay attention to the size, device and manufacturer. Wipers for the VAZ 2110, regardless of the year of manufacture of the car, must have a size of 508 mm. You can buy up to 53 cm in length, but no more.
If the length is too long, they will not be able to wash the windshield. In addition, the VAZ 2110 washer motor may not be able to cope with such a load. Brushes that are too large will squeak and jerk during operation.
An indispensable attribute of the VAZ 2110, like any other car, is windshield wipers. Their colloquial name is “windshield wipers”. Their purpose is to clean the glass from water stains and dirt in case of bad weather. Of course, the work of wipers is most often necessary in the off-season, when there is the most rainfall. During these periods, without properly functioning windshield wipers, driving a car is not only difficult, but dangerous.
Like any other important component of the VAZ 2110, the wipers need regular inspection and, if necessary, repair. This usually happens once every five years. But you may have to start repairing your windshield wipers earlier - if they start working slowly or don’t work at all.
Repairing windshield wipers is not difficult; any self-respecting car enthusiast is quite capable of doing it himself. Below we will look at algorithms for repairing wipers on a VAZ 2110, and even how to completely replace them correctly.
Greetings. VAZ2110, today the wipers stopped working. The washer splashes, but the wipers do not move (The relay clicks, the fuses are intact. What could be the reason?
If one fine morning the wipers on a VAZ 2110 fail to work, the causes of this malfunction should be established. To do this, you need to get to the windshield wiper device.
- Intermittent;
- Constantly fast, in case of heavy rain;
- Constantly slow.
Owners of the VAZ Ten probably encounter noise and crackling noise when they turn on the wipers; this is often due to a malfunction of the electric motor.
Wipers are one of the most vulnerable systems in a car. The windshield wiper system has to work, for example, in severe frosts. In this case, you should check whether the blades freeze to the windshield, otherwise the electric motor may burn out.
If the electric motor of the engine does not show signs of life, the problem may lie not in it, but, for example, in the blown fuse F5 in the mounting block. It is located on the left side of the car, under the headlight control. If the fuse turns out to be fully operational, the problem lies in the power supply to the wiper motor.
It is necessary to check the electrical circuit that connects the gear motor, fuse, steering column lever and the switch itself. A multimeter will help determine which part of this circuit there is a malfunction. If the monitor shows “zero”, the area is working properly. You see an infinitely large series of numbers on the screen - this is a reason to check all the terminals and wires.
- Clean and crimp the terminals in each block;
- Completely change all wires;
- Change the wiper switch lever.
In the first two positions, the K2 relay type 524.3747 in the mounting block and the steering column switch itself are responsible for the intermittent operation of the wipers. If the wipers work properly in the third position, you should pay attention to the relay. If the relay is faulty, the wipers can operate in intermittent modes without complaints, but there will be no characteristic pauses when switching.
If the wipers switch without pauses, then the limit switch is failing you; it is located on the cover of the gear motor.
- Clean up oxidation;
- Remove traces of burning if they are present on the contacts;
- Bend the contact tabs if necessary.
Folding the contacts will help if the wiper blades are slow, stop where they want to be, or don't reach the lowest position. If this solution does not help at all, you will have to change the entire gearmotor.
Repair
Having skillful hands and basic knowledge of how the wiper mechanism works, there is no need to contact a paid service to make repairs or change windshield wipers. Replacing the windshield wiper motor on a VAZ 2110 is also quite simple.
Parsing is carried out in this way:
- Remove the dashboard;
- On the left we find a relay screwed to the body. If the relay turns out to be faulty, then repair is unlikely to help it; a replacement is needed;
- We check the fuse responsible for the wiper drive;
- We disassemble the steering column to inspect the switch. If it turns out that the switch has insulation damage or other problems, it means it needs to be replaced;
- We unscrew the motor from the body and check for functionality. If there is a minor problem, it can be repaired, or perhaps it will need to be replaced, along with the relay. There is no point in repairing the relay separately - its cost is cheap;
- Inspect the drive; one of the possible faults is that its pulley has broken.
Total
Windshield wiper failure can occur for quite trivial reasons:
- fuse F5 burned out;
- the terminals of the connecting blocks are oxidized or burnt;
- wires are faulty;
- relay K5 524.3747 broke;
- ordered the steering column switch to “live for a long time”;
- the nut that attracts the trapezoid crank to the gearbox has become loose;
- the nuts securing the levers to the trapezoid shafts were unscrewed;
- The brushes are frozen to the glass.
Often, wipers on models of the VAZ 2110 family do not work due to complex faults:
- oxidation/burning, insufficient pressing force of the contacts of the limit switch located on the gearbox cover;
- brushes hanging in the gearmotor;
- burnout/contamination of the collector;
- break in the armature winding;
- chipping of gear teeth in the gearbox.
Electromechanical problems
An electric motor that shows no signs of life, no click and a blown fuse F5 - all these problems indicate faults in the gearmotor, which can be eliminated by replacing one of the components:
- dirty collector in the electric motor rotor;
- brushes that ensure continuous contact in the motor;
- burnt collector;
- broken armature winding.
There are other options: the electric motor does not want to work, but there is a click, or the fuse blows. In this case, you need to return the left lever to its base position as quickly as possible, since these problems indicate a short circuit in the electric motor. It needs to be completely changed. With the same problems, there may be minor faults: brushes frozen to the glass, or wipers touching body parts. Under such circumstances, you need to carefully separate the brushes or straighten their mounting arms.
Do-it-yourself modification and replacement of wipers
Wiring
Loading …
Which wipers are better is up to the car owner to decide. Those installed on the VAZ 2110, as well as on the UAZ, do their job well from the factory, but it can be modified with washers from other companies that are of higher quality. Many people are attracted to frameless brushes - this is a good option. They are compact in size and equipped with a special leash mechanism.
Frameless car washers
To replace or modify, you must perform the following steps:
- First you need to disconnect the negative terminal on the battery.
- Then you need to tilt the mount towards you and remove the brush.
- If there is a decorative trim, it must be removed.
- By unscrewing the bolt, you can remove the old brush.
- Before replacing parts, be sure to check the dimensions of the new washer with the old one. It is advisable that the new one does not exceed the size of the old one by more than 2 cm.
- Installation of the new kit is carried out in the reverse order.
Sorry, there are no surveys available at this time.
What to do? Where to look?
If you can hear the sound of the motor-gearbox, then it is definitely working. If it works, but the brushes do not move, then there is a break somewhere in the rods or contact elements.
- Most often, a break or loss of “contact” of the trapezoid occurs due to wear of the teeth on the drive shaft of the gearmotor. In other words, the motor works, but does not engage the windshield wiper trapezoid. There is nothing left to do but replace the drive part (by disassembling the gear motor and replacing the spline part). But, if you don’t find this part (rarely found on sale), then either look for a used motor or replace it with a new one.
- The second cause of the malfunction may be a loose nut securing the trapezoid mechanism to the motor (tighten the nut). This malfunction can be immediately noticed if you look into the trapezoid compartment.
Perhaps these are the two most main reasons for this malfunction. True, there are cases when the rods fly off the crank or the splines on the wiper arm drive itself wear out (photo). All that remains is to either look for a spare part or change the trapezoid assembly.

What to do if the wipers stop working due to electromechanics
If the wipers on a VAZ 2110 do not work, the problem may lie in failed gearmotor elements.
- Limit switch;
- Motor anchor (it could burn out);
- Contacts (oxidized);
- Springs on motor brushes;
- Gears in the gearbox (worn out);
- Collector (burnt or dirty).
Repairing wipers on a VAZ 2110, if the cause is correctly identified, will not be difficult.
- Remove the dashboard;
- The relay is screwed to the left of the car body; if it is faulty, replace it;
- Check the fuse;
- We disassemble the steering column and study the switch. If the insulation is damaged or other problems are present, change the steering column switch;
- We take out the electric motor and, if the damage is minor, we carry out repairs. If it requires replacement, feel free to replace it along with the relay.
The wipers on the VAZ 2110 may not work due to mechanical faults.
Quite simple things can prevent the wipers from working properly. For example, such as loosening the nut that secures the electric motor and brush holder. Or weakening the springs of the leashes. The cause may also be the destruction of gears, which is associated with the fragility of the material. As a rule, they are made of plastic.
As a result, we can say that the reasons for the breakdown of wipers are quite simple.
- The fuse in the mounting block died;
- The wires are worn out;
- The gears are worn out;
- The connecting terminals have loosened;
- Contacts have oxidized;
- The mechanism is dirty.
Such breakdowns are not difficult to repair, and they will not cause significant costs when replacing parts.
- Relays - from 285 rubles;
- Geared motor - from 1650 to 2200 rubles;
- Windshield wiper trapezoid - from 1,700 rubles;
- Assembled windshield wiper - from 3050 rubles;
- Windshield wiper lever (left) - from 435 rubles;
- Windshield wiper lever (right) - from 330 rubles;
- Brushes from 165 rubles per piece.
All these reasons why the wipers on the VAZ 2110 do not work can be eliminated quickly enough, without extra effort and expense. Of course, the car will let you down if something serious breaks down. For example, combustion of an electric motor, oxidation of contacts, which now need to be replaced. It is very important to take care of your car.
You need to check the condition of elements such as wipers at least once every couple of days or before getting into the car. It will be very sad if you notice that your wipers break down during a rainstorm on the highway. Remember: if the brushes freeze to the glass, the electric motor will burn out, then you will have to replace it. Therefore, in winter, be sure to move the blades away from the windshield if you leave your car.
Mechanical problems
Often the windshield wiper on a VAZ-2110 may not work due to a loose nut pressing the blade holder. This fault can be repaired in a few seconds. It is enough to tighten a poorly tightened nut to restore the functionality of the wipers. Some events may indicate an unscrewed nut:
- When the electric motor is running, the brushes do not move.
- The brushes stop working on their own in an intermediate position.
Also, brush holders may stop due to poor contact pressure in the gearmotor. If the teeth on the gearmotor gear are crumbled, the brushes will also not work.

When choosing wipers, not only their size matters, but also the device, as well as the manufacturer. For VAZ 2110 of all years of manufacture there is one size for the wiper on the driver or passenger side - 20″ (wiper length 508 mm).
However, you should know that you can usually increase the size to 53 cm, but no more, otherwise the windshield wipers will not cope with the task assigned to them, and the drive may fail, because the leash is not designed for such a load. In addition, such wipers creak during operation and can operate jerkily.
If the size is chosen incorrectly, the mechanism will fail faster. In principle, many people use the “original” VAZ wipers and are satisfied with them. But it is possible to modify windshield wipers from other companies, often of higher quality.
For example, for many, frameless brushes (especially Boshevsky ones) are very attractive. They are compact and have a special leash mechanism. However, they do not look particularly nice on a VAZ, since their fastening to the arm of a regular frame wiper turns out to be massive. These brushes need some work.
The VAZ 2112/2111 model has a rear wiper, its size is 11″ (27.9 cm).
Both regular replacement and modification of wipers begin with disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery. Then you need to pull the wiper towards you and remove the brushes.
If there is a decorative trim, it should be removed. Unscrew the bolt and remove the old wiper. Be sure to compare the size of the new windshield wiper with the old one. It will be better if the size of the windshield wiper on the VAZ 2110 does not exceed its predecessor by more than 2 cm. Install everything in the reverse order.
Check to see if the new brushes are squeaking and how they obey the “commands” of the switch. They should work quickly at high engine speeds, and slowly at low and intermittent modes. That, in fact, is the entire repair of VAZ wipers.
