The Lada Granta Liftback “Norma” and “Standard” configurations do not have a mechanical button for opening the trunk lid. Often, owners are forced to turn off the engine and then run with the key to open the luggage compartment. This is not always convenient or practical, especially in bad weather.
The equipment of the Lada Granta Liftback “Lux” has a button to open the lid. Owners of other assemblies can independently install the trunk button on the Granta Liftback by following the instructions below.
Where to buy a power trunk lock
To protect yourself as much as possible from purchasing non-original spare parts, service center technicians recommend using the services of official representative offices, service stations, dealers, and specialized auto stores.
Do not purchase goods from third-party suppliers who sell spare parts at unusually low prices. Always ask the seller to provide documents identifying the manufacturer, and check that the package includes a warranty card.
Recently, it has been popular to order parts and then install them at a service center. There are many advantages of this method, for example:
- efficiency of delivery;
- professional installation;
- quality guarantee for work performed;
- Possibility of individual ordering for tuning and local upgrades.
How to dismantle the lock to replace the cylinder?
You can gain access to the lock mechanism by removing the plastic upholstery inside the luggage compartment. This protective component is fixed by means of two bolts, which are located in the places where the special handle is installed. They are also called latch caps. They are pryed off with an ordinary screwdriver.
Structurally, the trunk lock in the Lada Kalina is made of two parts, regardless of the body type, hatchback, station wagon or sedan. They are presented in the form of a cylinder and the unlocking mechanism itself. If it is necessary to replace the trunk lock, then the dismantling of these components is carried out in a separate order.
When you only need to replace the larva, this can be done in a few simple steps. Here you will need a screwdriver and a socket.
- By unscrewing the bolts, we release the necessary part of the body.
- Next, remove the retainer using a screwdriver. It is attached directly to the body of the larva itself.
- It is recommended to remove it very carefully, while holding the spring.
- Installation of a new element is carried out strictly according to the reverse manipulation algorithm.
If there is a need to replace the lock itself, the operation becomes a little more complicated due to the need for additional actions.
- First, the door lock is unscrewed using a screwdriver. This is not difficult since the element is held in place with only two screws.
- Now we pull the trunk lock outward, and it freely comes out of the landing niche.

The opinions of the service station masters agreed on the choice of manufacturer - there is not much difference. When purchasing original products, the service life of the equipment exceeds 5 years.
Installation in “makeshift” conditions and poor-quality manufacturing only shorten the period of use of the equipment. Often the owner is to blame for the breakdown, violating the vehicle maintenance regulations.
Let's sum it up
Replacing the trunk lock is quite labor-intensive and will require a lot of time to implement. If the owner of LADA Kalina encounters difficulties, we advise you to contact specialists when performing the installation procedure.
| Owners of a Lada Granta car know that the electric drive for the trunk door lock in the middle and top-end configurations is different from those used on older Lada cars. Let's consider what its peculiarity is and whether it makes sense to install such an electric lock on a VAZ of the tenth family. |
Sequence of actions for self-installation of an electric lock
- We place the machine within the perimeter of the repair area; you can use a flat platform with unobstructed access around the perimeter. A road overpass or inspection channel in this case is not so effective, since the driver is limited in movement.
- Open the luggage compartment lid, unscrew the two mounting screws, and remove the inner part of the plastic trim.
- We connect the block with two wires (“plus” and “minus”). “Mass” is black. We pack the cables in a corrugated cable, lay it along the inner cavity of the trunk lid, and lead it out into the technical hole.
- We run the wiring in the corrugation under the side decorative inserts and lower it into the lower channel. First remove the plastic covers and sound insulation.
- We go to the fuse block, namely to fuse No. 10A.
- Next, we install a four-pin relay, connect the terminals of the wires from the trunk, fuse and mechanical button. We power the minus from the radio.
- We install a mechanical button instead of a plug under the optics regulator (hydraulic corrector).
- We assemble the casing and check that the system is working properly.
Removing the trunk lid lock and drive
We remove the trunk lock and its drive for replacement. Opening the trunk lid...
...and, squeezing it out with a screwdriver...
...we disconnect the rod from the ball end of the lever of the cylinder mechanism of the lock.
Using a 10mm socket with an extension, unscrew the nut securing the base of the lock drive to the outer panel of the trunk lid. In order to unscrew the other nut, insert the key into the cylinder mechanism and, turning the lever...
... use the same tool to unscrew the nut located under the lever.
Remove the lock drive from the trunk lid.

| 1. | Vasily: I bought a Lada Granta Liftback in the “Standard” configuration, the mechanical button is not preinstalled. Since I'm very familiar with electricians, I installed it myself in half an hour. Now everything is working properly, there are no complaints. |
| 2. | Vladislav: my garage comrades recommended connecting an activation button. I first looked at the diagram and bought the necessary spare parts. I installed it a month ago with a friend. My advice to car enthusiasts. |
| 3. | Ivan: I knew from the very beginning that there was no button in the Norma configuration. After the purchase, I immediately installed it at the service station. The guys completed it in half an hour and gave a guarantee. It works properly and has never failed. |
| 4. | Vladimir: installed a mechanical button on the trunk lid, now you don’t need to turn off the engine again or pull the core. The process is not complicated, the diagram is intuitive. |
| 5. | Ignat: last month I installed the “activator”, I didn’t go to the service station, I got by with the help of a friend. It works properly, no complaints. |
| Negative | |
| 1. | Kirill: After installation, the activator worked for two months, after which it was replaced with a new one. Despite the originality of the part, the workmanship is poor. I do not recommend domestic electric locks. |
| 2. | Victor: I regretted installing the electric drive and flew within three months. This is despite the fact that there was moderate exploitation. I can't recommend it. |
| 3. | Vladimir: after a year of use, the limiter broke down, replaced it with a new one. I don't know how long it will last. |
Conclusion
In the Lada Granta “Norma” and “Standard” trim levels, a mechanical button for activating the trunk lid is missing. Provided you follow the installation algorithm and purchase original consumables and spare parts, the service life of the relay will exceed 5 years.
Cheap components for the lock, violation of installation technology, short circuit in the circuit contribute to rapid wear and damage to the mechanism. A number of negative reviews are unfounded; the damage was caused by the driver.

Is it necessary to install a negative cable into the interior of the car? Can I get power from the rear lights and side lights? This will save two meters of wire.
Related products
To optimize the operation of trunk door locks, accessories are used that provide ease of use and complement the functionality. All of them take place during the installation of components; you should purchase them before starting installation.
Auxiliary components:
- lock retainer. The part was developed for model 2190 (Lada Granta);
- connector An original part, compatible with almost all types of sockets used when installing the drive. Also installed on the VAZ 2192 model.
These elements are purchased separately only in cases of failure of one or more parts. Before installation begins, all components necessary for installation are sold in kits; you do not need to purchase anything separately.
Spring problem
Although springs are very durable, they can also wear out over time under certain operating conditions. Often, spring wear manifests itself in a slightly different way: the car wobbles at high speed, strong rocking, or a sagging rear end. However, when looking for something that may be knocking, you can conduct a visual inspection and pay attention to the following points:
In most cases, springs lose their elasticity due to long service life or when exposed to heavy loads (for example, a passenger car has been used for a long time to transport a heavy load). The appearance of defects in the turns indicates poor quality of the metal used in manufacturing, a manufacturing defect, or severe wear. If everything is in order, we carry out further inspection.
Shock absorbers: a common problem caused by rough roads.
Shock absorbers can be considered the most vulnerable structural element. They are designed to absorb impacts when overcoming broken sections of the road. You can determine shock absorber wear as follows:
Additional modernization of locks
If you dream of your car doors opening and closing as smoothly as in foreign cars, try installing silent locks. Such a device can be installed on any model of Zhiguli. For representatives of the retro era, such modernization is also possible, but the locks themselves will have to be filed a little. By the way, you can also put it on the trunk. In general, there is no limit to perfection.
And the installation is, in truth, very simple and transparent. It is enough to dismantle the old locks, try not to drop the necessary elements inside the door, or remove the trim in advance. And then install new analogues on two bolts. There are situations when, after installation, the door does not close tightly or warps slightly, causing cracks to form. Solving the problem is also very simple by adjusting the location of the device. In general, initially try to secure it exactly where the old one was.
What is important to know about silent locks on the Lada Granta Liftback
Not all car owners are satisfied with the ease and noise level when closing the doors of their car. The defect is caused by excessive wear of parts and design flaws at the manufacturer level.
The principle of noise suppression is implemented by an installed noise absorber. In Lada Granta Liftback models, this is a rubber insert or a plastic polymer.
Silent locks are structurally composed of a pin and a shackle with a noise-absorbing insert. Some car owners practice replacing the arms, while leaving the standard locks unchanged. Already in this case, the noise level will be significantly lower, and locking the door will be easier. At the same time, systematic use of the door lock leads to rapid wear of the polymer/rubber material. The owner has to come back for preventative maintenance again and again.
Trunk shelf rattles
This reason occurs in almost all car brands, except Japanese cars, with rare exceptions. Here drivers manage as best they can. Some people place soft elements under the sides of the shelf, for example, glue strips of soft foam rubber. Other drivers simply put a rag on hand and don’t bother too much.
On many cars, the rear parcel shelf rattles because the rubber buffer that is installed on it from the factory is missing or lost. When closing, the door presses the shelf through this rubber element, and the shelf is pressed tightly. As a result, the rear parcel shelf no longer rattles. Therefore, if there is no rubber band, buy it at a car store and get rid of the problem. Or install a homemade support instead.
Preparation for installation
We purchase a lock kit. There are a lot of manufacturers of auto parts on the market now, but there are no special differences between the sets. It is important that the device has a warranty card and instructions for use and connection. Also in the box you will find:
Additionally, you need to stock up on a set of standard tools: pliers, screwdriver, screwdrivers, multimeter, drill with carbide drill bit. In addition to the standard accessories, immediately buy additional wires; it is quite possible that the length of those you find in the box will not be enough for you. Black heat-resistant insulating tape, corrugated tubes, and clips for fastening the trim will also be useful, since very often the trim of car elements is attached to disposable ones.
Important! Be sure to check that the warranty card for the purchased device is available and filled out correctly. Regardless of who performed the installation, you or the service, you have the right to free repairs within a year.
Knock from front or rear
If you hear knocks in the front of your car, this is a topic for a separate discussion. There the issue may be in the brakes and suspension, chassis and other components. A knock from the rear on the right or left also applies to the luggage compartment of the car. Here, look at what you have there, what things or objects can make sounds.
A pump that is not secured and on bumps in the road simply jumps and rattles can knock. A jack can create the same problem. Most often, after putting things in order, everything returns to normal. Keep an eye on your “iron horse” and everything will be fine.
Granta sedan. Something is knocking on the bumps in the back, I can’t tell from the sound that it’s like a trunk or like a shelf. Maybe someone had something similar?

That's how it should be, it's an AvtoVAZ. Joke. No matter where it makes noise, my car is three and a half years old. We don't have normal roads at all. Today I changed the wheels and looked at the suspension, which was all dead. There is not enough time, spare parts were purchased a long time ago.

Perhaps you need to change the bagels and put a screw nut under the plate! Oh, I'm exhausted with these bagels. Also on the back right! I ate all my nerves. As a result, I welded the puck there and replaced the original bagels with some foreign ones, the weights were several times greater. I also placed a rubber washer under the plate and on the plate and tightened it. All voila silence

The rear suspension of a car is represented by a set of components and parts that act as a connecting link between the body and the road surface. It, in comparison with the front suspension, often has a simpler design, which is due to the absence of steering system elements, load distribution and the position of the center of gravity. Despite this, nodes can still fail. The first sign of a malfunction is the appearance of a knocking sound from the chassis.
Diagnostics of suspension guides
Many cars have a similar rear suspension design, which makes diagnostics and dismantling easier. The differences can only be in the principle of fastening and the type of installed parts. During the diagnosis you should:
The threaded connection of the flanges used when attaching the guide elements can also cause a problem. The flanges can be repaired, but it is recommended to install new ones. The check is carried out on an overpass or pit, since problems are determined visually or using force (that is, you need to strongly loosen the guide elements with your hands). This will require good lighting. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out work in the garage.
Consequences of ignoring a knock
Any extraneous sounds that appear while driving must be identified without delay, as their presence may indicate a serious malfunction. In this case, let’s look at the consequences of knocking in the rear suspension:
In most cases, a knock in the rear suspension is detected almost immediately, as it occurs while overcoming a bump or pothole on the road. As a rule, suspension elements fail after their service life has expired. If you replace parts in a timely manner, you can avoid road accidents and serious material costs.
