VAZ 2114: Cigarette lighter pinout and connection diagram

This article presents the pinout of the VAZ 2114 cigarette lighter, as well as a diagram for connecting the device to the vehicle’s on-board network. In addition, an experienced mechanic listed the main causes of device failure and provided recommendations for eliminating them.

The pinout of the fourteenth cigarette lighter contacts is as follows:

• The left contact is a permanent negative (black wire). One contact is powered to the device body, the second goes to the car body;
• The central contact is a 12-volt constant plus line (red wire). Connects through a fuse to the car battery. Responsible for the heat of the spiral located inside the tip.
• The right contact is a 12-volt backlight line (yellow or white wire).

The VAZ 2114 cigarette lighter connection diagram is as follows:

1. The device is connected via a 12-volt constant plus line to a fuse, which is located in the vehicle’s mounting block;
2. The fuse is connected directly to the battery;
3. Connection to the mounting block and battery is made through blocks Ш4-4 and Ш10-1.

Reasons for replacing the cigarette lighter

The device may fail for a number of reasons. Sometimes replacing the VAZ 2114 cigarette lighter is not even necessary. The most common breakdowns include:

1. Broken wiring. If the car is old or due to illiterate manipulations with the electrical system, the wires may shorten and burn out, or a break may occur in the circuit itself. This failure should be diagnosed using a multitester. The wires coming to the cigarette lighter are tested for resistance.
2. Fuse failure. If one or more powerful devices are launched into the cigarette lighter socket of a VAZ 2114, the circuit current may exceed the critical value of 20 Amperes. This will cause the safety element to burn out. Additionally, the clock and radio will stop working. Repair is simple - you need to remove the front panel to get to the mounting block, where you can change the blown fuse.
3. Bad connection. Over time, the contacts oxidize, which is why the cigarette lighter on a VAZ stops working. The reason for the appearance may be the connection of a fuse with a high resistance, for example, a 25-amp one. If the cigarette lighter does not work, you must first remove the metal cartridge and check its contacts for the presence of oxides. It is recommended to clean the contact areas. Before carrying out the procedure, remove the negative terminal from the battery. This will eliminate the possibility of a short circuit.
4. Burnt out cigarette lighter element. Inside the cartridge is a nichrome spiral, which can burn out due to age. Such a malfunction can be treated by replacing and installing a new element.
5. Failure of the backlight lamp in the VAZ cigarette lighter. 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. You will need to remove the burnt element and then replace it with a working one.

The light and radio doesn't work

The electrical circuit of a car is implemented in such a way that this section is directly responsible for several devices. For example, fuse F4 is also responsible for the glove compartment light and heated rear window. The radio is connected through this section.

The cigarette lighter pinout looks like this: There are three cables connected to the device.

1. Red. The positive wire goes through the cigarette lighter fuse to the battery. Responsible for heating the metal spiral located inside the tip.
2. Yellow. Plus - responsible for the cigarette lighter lamp. There is a light filter around the nest to help you find it at night.
3. Black. Negative cable. One contact is powered to the cigarette lighter body, and the second comes directly to the car body.

VAZ 2114 cigarette lighter fuse: location, breakdowns and their elimination

Sometimes motorists are faced with the fact that the cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2114 does not work. This seemingly minor problem can lead to very big difficulties on the road. Indeed, nowadays a car cigarette lighter not only serves its intended purpose, but is also used to connect various chargers (for example, for smartphones) and to power some electronic devices directly (for example, navigators). That is why it is so important to understand the electronic circuit of the cigarette lighter and be able to repair it in a timely manner. We'll talk about how to do this today.

Conventional numbering of plugs in blocks

The other ends of the white cables in the instrument panel wiring harness are brought together to one point. The switch for the instrument lights is connected to it (except for the white cable connected to plug “4” of block “X2” of the mounting block (28) and to the display unit of the on-board control system (83). The second ends of the black cables are also brought together at points that connected to the mass.

The second ends of the yellow cables with a blue stripe are brought together to a point that is connected to plug “4” of the “X1” block of the mounting block of the VAZ 2114 car. The second ends of the white cables with red stripes are brought together at the point that is connected to plug “10” “X4” block of the mounting block of the VAZ 2114 car. The second ends of the orange cables are brought together to a point that is connected to plug “3” of the “X4” block of the mounting block of the VAZ 2114 car.

Recommendations from experts

We advise you to study some practical advice from craftsmen who have repeatedly faced the need to repair cigarette lighters on a VAZ 2114. The most difficult problems were complicated by the fact that the owners of the car tried to solve the problem on their own, in violation of many recommendations. But after the situation became even worse after a makeshift intervention, the breakdown had to be repaired by professionals.

1. Hand twisting. The worst thing you can think of when replacing faulty wiring is manual twisting. Never do this, because in 80% of car fire situations this is how it starts. Be sure to use a soldering iron to create strong, reliable contacts, or even better, completely replace the old wiring with new one.
2. When purchasing a new cigarette lighter for a VAZ 2114, use a tester. Moreover, this must be done on the spot, in the presence of the seller. Alas, the realities of our auto parts market today are such that a huge mass of spare parts are fakes or simply low-quality products. By checking the device immediately before starting repairs, you risk not only getting a fake, but also not returning the faulty cigarette lighter to the seller, since he will say that he never saw you and did not sell you anything. By the way, for this reason it is better to buy spare parts in trusted, certified stores.
3. When working on any item that draws power from the battery, including the cigarette lighter, be sure to remove the terminals from the battery. Accidents are not uncommon, but you probably don't want to be one of them.
4. Always be careful in your actions, carefully study the operating and repair manual for your car. This is the primary literature that allows you to do most of the repair work yourself, without the help of specialists. And if you are not confident in your abilities, do not take risks, do not experiment, but send your car to trusted, qualified technicians who will repair your car with high quality and with guarantees.

How to change a broken cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2114

Before you start work, you should acquire the necessary tools. To remove the cigarette lighter of the VAZ 2114 model you will need:

• protective gloves;
• screwdriver;
• multitester;
• pliers;
• small flashlight;
• soldering iron with solder;
• insulating tape.

It is advisable to study the connection diagram of the device on the VAZ. It is important to ensure correct polarity when installing a new cigarette lighter. The device comes with three wires - black, red and yellow.

1. Black is a minus or mass that comes to the car body.
2. Red – is responsible for the voltage of the heating element. Connected to the positive terminal of the battery via a 20 amp fuse.
3. Yellow – backlight wire.

Next, you can remove the VAZ cigarette lighter. The work is performed as follows.

1. Open the hood, and then disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. This will prevent short circuit.
2. Using a screwdriver, unscrew the fasteners that attach the left side plastic near the driver’s feet. We remove it and then get access to the connection wires.
3. We disconnect the three-pin block responsible for powering the cigarette lighter.
4. We remove the backlight bulb to illuminate the ashtray. We take it out together with the cartridge and several wires.
5. We hook the metal rim of the cigarette lighter with a screwdriver, and then continue to pull out the element. You need to push it out of the center console.
6. We remove the filter together with the cartridge itself.
7. Now you can change the element. We take out the metal rod and then install a new spare part.
8. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal and is shown below in the pictures.

Which cigarette lighter should I replace with?

The market sells different versions of parts for the VAZ 2114 from the original manufacturer or Chinese concerns. Therefore, many drivers are interested in what spare part to replace the old one with. When purchasing, you must choose original parts. Additionally, you need to pay attention to the packaging - it should be neat, and inside there should be a GOST certificate of conformity.

Cheap Chinese analogues for the VAZ 2115 are made of low-quality materials and can burn out in the first weeks after replacing the cigarette lighter. Especially when connecting a splitter to use several devices at the same time. The price of high-quality spare parts for a VAZ 2114 ranges between 300 – 900 rubles. The cost depends on the manufacturer and additional features.

Checking the functionality of the fuses and the fuse itself

• 
  To examine the fuse, you need to remove it from its seat and connect its leads to the probes of the multimeter. Next, connect the cords to the battery terminals.

• The fuse will be considered working if the lamp lights up or the toaster emits a warning sign. If this does not happen, then that is where the problem lies.
• When the problem is not in the fuse, you need to examine the connectors and the accuracy of the wiring. First, let's look at connecting the positive and ground wires to the device glass. Let's remove the protective insulation from the contacts and examine the connections. If one of the cords is damaged, you will have to restore it. Next, let's check the contacts to block number 1 on the mounting block, since the wires only fit to it. Let's inspect the contacts by unfastening them from the connector. If you find traces of oxidation, it would be best to treat the contacts. If everything is in order with them, you can ring the cords that go from the block to the cigarette lighter glass itself. If we detect a break in the cord, we will replace it locally, or better yet, the entire harness.
• If you notice a broken fuse, you need to urgently repair the cigarette lighter. But first we need to find out which fuse needs to be replaced. Let's open the hatch where all the car fuses are located. We need a 20 amp element marked F. To make sure it works, we need a special toaster. If the cause of the failure is precisely this fuse, the toaster will notify you of its failure.
• Car owners often make the mistake of connecting external devices to the cigarette lighter. Based on this, the plates are shifted and closed. In order to eliminate this, let's disassemble the device and put the plates in their positions. Next, we assemble everything in reverse order.
• Another factor in cigarette lighter malfunction is a burnt-out backlight. Here everything is much simpler, we will simply replace the non-working light bulb by removing the cigarette lighter from the socket, and then we will put everything back in its place.
• Spring coils. If everything else is intact and in working order, then the fault lies with them. Let's pay attention to their core and condition. If the problem is at the core, you can't just fix it. Or rather, it can be replaced, but finding a separate part will be quite difficult.

Criticism of the car owner: The car is strong, practical, moderately comfortable... If maintained correctly, it does not rust at all. “Holds the road” perfectly. Consumption on the highway is up to 6.5 liters, in the city a little more than 9.0. The car is fully adapted for our roads and operating conditions, both in terms of suspension and interior strength, and in the unpretentiousness of the engine to operating conditions. The interior, despite its external dimensions, is quite spacious. Very practical for the city. You can transport large items in the cabin: there was a case when I was once transporting an old Saratov refrigerator to my neighbor’s grandmother, with the rear seats folded down and the back door closed. The three-door car is convenient because when transporting your granddaughters to nature, you are not afraid that the rear side doors will accidentally open. Spare parts are not a problem, the difficulty of repairs is that I have never contacted the service (except for diagnostics using the on-board computer), everything is very simple. In winter it starts at any frost (up to - 45) without warming up. The interior is very warm in winter... It doesn’t heat up in summer. I wanted to sell it twice, but changed my mind: for the harsh operating conditions in which my Golf is used, I don’t yet see an alternative. Golf 5 - capricious...

Before we look at the main topic - how to remove the cigarette lighter of a VAZ 2114, you should first find out - what is a cigarette lighter, where is it located and how to use it?

A car cigarette lighter is a special electrical device, usually located on the front panel of the car and used for lighting cigarettes (hence, as you might guess, the name), as well as connecting various electrical appliances and tools (more precisely, they are connected to the cigarette lighter socket, and not into the cigarette lighter itself, which is only a removable part. However, in most cases, both parts of this device are called the same...)

The removable part, which serves for lighting the cigarette, is also designed quite simply - it contains bimetallic contacts and a conductive spiral, which heats up when connected to the network (the vast majority of cigarette lighters also have a button that turns the heating process on and off, which protects the device from quickly burning out (in case the heating was constant...)

It should be noted right away that in addition to its main purpose, a huge number of different equipment can be connected to the cigarette lighter socket (for this it must have a suitable connector).

• chargers for mobile phones;
• compressors for tire inflation;
• car vacuum cleaners;
• mini refrigerators;
• audio recorders;
• measuring instruments, and much more.

Thus, the cigarette lighter is a fairly universal and necessary device inside the car, which is why it is so important that it is in good condition.

Tools required for work

To check the serviceability of the cigarette lighter, as well as replace it, you need a set of simple tools:

• voltmeter;
• flat screwdriver with a blade width of 3-4 mm;
• Phillips screwdriver with a shaft diameter of 5-6 mm;
• cosmetic tweezers.

However, if you need to make a mounting window, which will be discussed below, you will also need a hacksaw, a vice, and marking tools.

Problems when paying with bank cards

Sometimes difficulties may arise when paying with Visa/MasterCard bank cards. The most common of them:

1. There is a restriction on the card for paying for online purchases
2. A plastic card is not intended for making payments online.
3. The plastic card is not activated for making payments online.
4. There are not enough funds on the plastic card.

In order to solve these problems, you need to call or write to the technical support of the bank where you are served. Bank specialists will help you resolve them and make payments.

There is one SKODA RAPID car for everyone

SKODA RAPID is a car that can safely be called unique. Why? The answer is obvious - it will suit absolutely everyone! The dynamic character of the model and precise, refined handling combined with an interesting and stylish design will not leave the younger generation indifferent.

Older drivers will appreciate the nobility of the “crystalline” design, which is partly reminiscent of the traditions of the best crystal manufactories in the Czech Republic and the cubist architecture so beloved by all residents of Prague.

How to change the cigarette lighter on a Priora

First, disconnect the minus terminal from the car’s battery, and then remove the cigarette lighter cylinder, since it will interfere with this repair. Next, using a screwdriver or the blade of a sharp knife, pry off the inside of the clip, as shown in the photo below:

It is possible that everything will not be so simple in practice. If the internal part does not pry, then we look inside to see what is preventing this action. Most likely, you will have to slightly bend the case so that it does not catch on the plastic edging. This is shown more clearly in the photo below.

Once the metal core is pulled out, it will all look something like this.

The plastic edging, which is green in the top photo, remains in the floor tunnel, and we do not touch it for now. Next, disconnect the power plug from the Priora cigarette lighter module by first pressing the connector latch:

Correct removal of the cigarette lighter on a modern VAZ

Just ten years ago, no one would have thought that the cigarette lighter would become an important part of the car. Then even smokers gradually stopped using it because of the fire hazard: ash could stick to the heating element and get on the plastic; if you drop a hot metal part onto the casing, it will burn through it; if it’s on yourself, you’ll certainly get burned... In general, few people lit a cigarette from it. But at a certain point in the development of technology, almost all external electronics in the car began to work from it. Compressors, vacuum cleaners, radar detectors and navigators, mobile phones and refrigerators... Yes, even coffee makers and kettles began to be made into automobile ones, that is, with a plug for the cigarette lighter. Of course, we don’t recommend mindlessly stuffing everything into it. This leads to very unpleasant consequences. But the fact that today without a 12-volt outlet in a car is like having no hands, this is absolutely certain.

So if it breaks, it's very annoying. It’s like leaving the house without a mobile phone or discovering that there is razor foam left near your ear. It's a ridiculous feeling. It’s good that engineers provide a fairly easy way to repair this spare part. Let's see how AvtoVAZ designers took care of this.

Can it be used as a car socket?

Most often, car owners use the cigarette lighter socket as a connector for connecting additional electrical equipment. The most common devices:

• DVR;
• GPS navigator;
• fan;
• compressor pumping up the wheels;
• charging for mobile devices (phones, tablets, laptops).

When using the glass as a 12-volt outlet, the maximum power of the connected devices should not exceed 360 Watts. Calculated using the formula P=I*A, where I is the voltage of 12 volts, and A is the maximum current of 30 amperes.
