How to start a car without an ignition key VAZ 2112 16 valves

The question of how to start a Zhiguli may arise for owners of a “classic” car in 5 cases: the ignition switch is broken, the key is lost, the battery is dead, the starter does not turn, or there is severe frost outside. If you don’t know how to act in one of these situations, then read the article.

How you can start a Zhiguli when the standard version with a key is not possible is noted in the table.

*the choke is used to further enrich the mixture and make it easier to start a cold engine in any situation, but if in warm weather it is possible to start a cold engine without it, then in cold weather this is very problematic.

How to start a car without a key and without problems

We have all seen more than once how in dashing action films the main character starts a car without a key by connecting a couple of wires. Of course, it is possible that a similar situation can happen in life, and it is not necessary to steal a car or participate in a chase. The ignition key may simply be lost or broken during a sudden jerk in the socket. Repairs have their time, but for now you need to somehow start the car without a key. So how to do this? We're not action heroes, so we don't need to rush. Step by step turning on the ignition of a car without a key looks something like this for all car models:

1. First, you need to carefully get your hands on the wires, which will require removing the protective cover from under the steering wheel.
2. Once this operation is completed, you will see a set of multi-colored wires leading to the ignition switch. You need to separate the wires from the lock in any way that is most convenient for you.
3. Having done this, determine whether each wire belongs to the vehicle’s on-board system and what each of them is responsible for.
4. First of all, let's calculate the ground wire. Its most common color is green or black. Some cars have this yellow wire with a thin green stripe. To make sure that it is the grounding wire in front of you, connect it through the tester to the machine body. A digital indicator at value 0 means that this is the same wire. Insulate its end to prevent an accidental short circuit with the power wires: this can lead to failure of the on-board system.
5. Now you need to calculate the power wire. To do this, study the colors - most likely it will be red or yellow, a lot depends on the voltage. It happens that there is only one such wire, sometimes there are several. Then you need to find everything. You will have to examine all the wires by connecting one multimeter probe to the ground wire or car body. You need to set the tester in advance to the voltage measurement position. Have you found all the wires from which the power comes? Also isolate them by grouping them first. Their accidental contact with the ground or machine body is dangerous.
6. Now you need to find the wire that powers the starter. Be sure to lower the handbrake and, in turn, connect the wires of unclear purpose to the power wire, or to all of them at the same time, grouped together. One will definitely turn on the starter. Mark it with something, a marker or tape.
7. Now connect the power wires to the wire that supplies voltage to the car. It is important that the connection is strong, otherwise the engine may stall at any moment.
8. And now we do it like in the movies - we strike the wire that powers the starter, which will cause a short circuit and the car, if all the conditions described above are met correctly, will start. Once this happens, move the wire away.

What actions should be taken if the key is left in the car?

The first question that a driver asks himself when he discovers that the car key is left in the cabin: how to open a VAZ 2114 in an easy and simple way without a key? The easiest way would be to call home and ask for an additional set of keys. If there is no one at home, you can call a special service that provides such services, but you will have to pay about 3 thousand rubles for such a service. But it’s realistic to find other ways to open a car without keys:

1. Using wire of appropriate length. Using a rigid wire at least 70 cm long, you can easily open the door. For this method, you should use a metal ruler, but such an object can rarely be seen nearby, of course, if the car owner does not steal other people's cars. Therefore, we will look at opening car doors using a wire. So, having found a piece of metal wire, you need to do the following:

• make a kind of bend at one end, which should resemble a hook for a fishing rod;
• the end with the bend must be carefully inserted between the seal and the glass, trying to pick up the door rod. Of course, such an operation is not so simple, and most often it is not completed successfully the first time. But one of the attempts will definitely succeed and help open the car door;
• You should not try to use thin wire for this method, as it will simply bend, and a thicker product will not be able to be inserted into a small slot.

1. Using a thin fishing line, but always strong. In a similar way, you can try to open a car door using a fishing line, which should be thin and at the same time strong enough. A small loop is made at the end of the fishing line, and this end is pushed into the gap between the body and the door seal. Having inserted the fishing line inside, you need to move it in different directions until it wraps around the loop of the door flag. Next, all that remains is to pull the ends of the fishing line so that the flag rises up. This method of opening doors is suitable if the car is equipped with a special flag, with which the car door is closed.
2. You can also try to open the door of the VAZ-2114 using a tennis ball in which a hole is made. To do this you need to do the following:

• press the tennis ball firmly against the car door lock, making sure that the hole where the key is inserted exactly matches the hole of the tennis ball;
• press the ball sharply so that a stream of air enters the inside of the castle;
• the air that gets inside should raise the door flag, which will help open the car door.

Many car owners claim that opening the trunk is much easier, and a key from another VAZ model will help with this. To do this, you just need to contact the driver of the other car and ask to use his keys.

Of course, you can simply break the glass, but in the future you will have to spend money on a new one, and not everyone will be able to break tempered glass the first time. In addition, this method of opening the door often leads to injury, so when deciding on it, you must first protect your face and hands.

If none of the above methods helped to open the door of the VAZ-2114, all that remains is to contact the dealer with a request to make a duplicate of the lost keys. Of course, this process will take some time, but if there is no other choice, then you can just wait.

To avoid finding yourself in such a predicament, you should always be careful about your keys, store them in a safe place and do not forget them in the car.

How to start VAZ 2106, VAZ 2109, VAZ 2110 and VAZ 2112 without a key

In the case of a VAZ 2106 , you need to remove the ignition cover and find the brown, blue and red wires. The thick red wire is positive. The brown and blue wires need to be secured with electrical tape, and the red wires should be struck on both wires. The car should start. A similar procedure can be done for VAZ 2109 .

To start a VAZ 2110 or 2112 car without a key , you will need to pull out the entire switch button so that it hangs on the wires and remove the cover: there will be four connectors. Now you need to insert it differently - into three connectors so that there is one free on the right. At the same time, the fuel pump will start working and the ignition will turn on. Now open the hood. It is necessary to force the starter to start, for which it is enough to bridge the copper bolts, which are located in the back cover of the starter solenoid relay, with a wrench or scissors. The car started.
