How to make the doors on a VAZ 2110 illuminated when opening

Unread message Alex9403 » Tue Aug 07, 2012 19:27:41

Hi all! I bought a VAZ 21074. And I noticed this problem:

When the Left door (driver's) is opened, only the RIGHT light comes on. When the Right door (passenger) is opened, only the RIGHT light comes on. When the Left rear door is opened, only the LEFT light comes on. When the Right rear door is opened, only the RIGHT light comes on. The lamps are turned on by switches on the stands

This is some strange nonsense (I checked the limit switches, everything is fine. I suspect that there is a problem with the wiring, but I just can’t figure out which wires to check and where they go?

Since I’m still a novice, I would like to ask you to give some advice to forum members who are faced with this situation; it would be highly advisable to “chew” everything well and draw a diagram of the interior lighting wires. And I want to do everything, put bright LEDs in the side racks and I’m waiting for your advice on what LEDs to insert. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! . POSTPONED

As many people know, in the AvtoVAZ legend - 2106 there are a pair of red flashlights at the ends of the doors, indicating the dimensions of the open door.

My VAZ 2107 does not have such an option. But there is a way to do this quite simply. To do this, you will need emergency lamps from a GAZ 53 or UAZ truck.

At the end of door 2107 there is a hole closed with a plastic plug, which differs very slightly in diameter from the lamp (which cannot be said about lamps 2106). They will need to be drilled out a bit. Connection is to the door switch.

How to organize the lighting of door handles and feet in a car with your own hands

In recent years, tuning of passenger cars has become very popular. In the process of its implementation, the body structures are primarily subject to modification, which immediately catch the eye and clearly emphasize the individuality of the car owner.

No less effect can be achieved through internal tuning, one of the varieties of which is the use of lighting for the dashboard, upper part of the cabin and in the footwell area.

Quite often, car interior lighting, including its implementation as atmospheric interior lighting, is often done with your own hands. It is used as a means of increasing the efficiency of using products of the domestic automobile industry, such as, for example, the popular VAZ-2110.

1. A combination of aesthetics and functionality
2. LED lighting elements
3. Some design features
4. Tools and materials used
5. Features of LED strip installation
6. Other types of lighting

Introduction to the matter.

Such lighting appeared on the markets not so long ago, but it has managed to gain a secure foothold there and acquire a whole army of fans who decorate its elements of their cars. The tape is equipped with a silicone shell, which provides protective functions, so that external factors, dirt and debris, water, do not affect it. This fact makes such a “garland” a unique tuning element, which is applied to both headlights and car interior elements.

Many motorists begin tuning their car from the interior. When you have no experience, it’s a little scary to take on external tuning, but inside the car you can try your hand at it. The car interior is simply a huge springboard for light tuning. Illumination can be installed almost everywhere: illumination of the driver’s and passengers’ feet, door handles, additional overhead lighting... you can go on and on.

It is worth noting that interior lighting is not only a decoration, but also a means to relax and relieve stress. For example, everyone knows that green light calms a person, so what’s stopping you from installing green leg lights? And someone is not satisfied with the standard white illumination of the instrument cluster - nothing prevents them from changing its color to the desired one and enjoying it.

Pros.

The advantage of the tape is that it has better illumination qualities compared to neon lighting. Thanks to a wide range of color shades, you can choose the necessary product of the desired color that matches the body of your car. Some lighting models come with controllers that allow you to control the entire system with 1-2 keys. One of the main advantages is the ability to install it yourself, since to carry out such an operation it is not necessary to be a master. The usual skills and knowledge that a car enthusiast usually has will suffice.

Many people have their own cars, of various brands, configurations, tuned and simply “gray” cars for everyday driving. Some make various gadgets for cars with their own hands, some send them to special services, and others simply admire how people do it. Actually, this is what I would like to talk about – tuning!

I didn’t have a car before and somehow didn’t need one, but in my heart I always wanted to sit, steer and enjoy the speed. The first step to buying a car was getting a driver's license, which I also went to study for spontaneously. In general, I studied for 3 months in DOSAAF and on February 29, 2008 I received my driver’s license. From time to time there was a desire to buy a car, but there was no money to buy it, and I began to think about it – “where should I go?”, it’s a 15-minute walk to work, the dacha has long been abandoned and it turns out that the car is not needed.

Time passed, years flew by, rumors circulated about a crisis. By that time, we had managed to save up a little cash, which we finally decided to invest in some kind of automobile before it disappeared. One wonderful morning, we got ready and went to the car market in Saratov to choose a car for me. I had to borrow a considerable additional amount of cash from friends, otherwise my savings were not enough.

We set off on the road, drove and drove, and finally arrived. Let's go to the market.

Choosing a belt for the machine

I will try not to pour water, but will briefly look at what to look for when choosing an LED strip.

LED Matrix Type

Firstly, we get an average power of 4.4-4.8 W per linear meter with a luminous flux of about 250-300 Lm. With such power, LEDs do not require heat dissipation and the LED strip can be easily mounted on plastic elements. And the luminous flux is sufficient to fully illuminate any interior elements.

If you don’t have enough brightness, take 120 pcs/m.

Secondly, this is the most common tape on sale, we buy it in the first store we come across.

Options like SMD 5050, 5630, 5730 are not suitable due to their high power. Unpleasantly high brightness and the need to mount a heat sink make them not the best choice for LED car interior lighting.

Exterior car lighting. Here we turn on the head. If there is LED lighting under the bottom of the car, you can choose more powerful LEDs - SMD 5050 30/60 pcs/m. The aluminum profile will be our heat sink (more about installation later). For LED illumination of license plates or (God forbid) headlights, this is a bad choice. Such LED lighting will be a bait for traffic police inspectors (read about installation rules and fines at the end of the article).

Regular LEDs or RGB - there is no difference. RGB is a little more expensive, it is more difficult to connect and requires an additional control controller (read more about connecting an RGB strip). But it allows you to change the backlight color.

Protection class

There are mainly three protection classes on sale - IP20, IP65, IP68.

• IP20 – open tape without protective coatings, suitable for use indoors in dry rooms. Afraid of moisture, dust, and any mechanical influences.
• IP65 – with a protective silicone layer that can protect against condensation.
• IP68 - sealed, waterproof LEDs that can be placed on the bottom of the car.

LED class IP68
For LED illumination of the glove compartment or the bottom of the dashboard, IP20 is also suitable if no one pulls it or pours water on it.

For illumination of other elements, IP class 65-68 is desirable.

Replacing door trim on a VAZ 2110

The most common method of upgrading the interior is to replace the door trim. This can be done independently without contacting specialized workshops. First of all, you need to purchase panels. They can be purchased at any online store. It is better to choose soft plastic; it is much nicer to the touch than standard standard panels. The color design of the material can be varied: from classic black and white, as well as red, yellow, green or blue. As for the coloring of fabric upholstery, there are also no restrictions.

Such panels are designed for all VAZ cars, with the exception of coupe models. Often 4 panels are included in the kit. Clips and screws will have to be purchased separately.

Sheathing replacement process

To start tuning the interior of a VAZ 2110, you should start by removing the old trim. This process is quite simple and does not take too much time. So, we start by removing several screws, the window lowering handle, and then the panel in the place where the handle for opening the door is located, it is also secured with self-tapping screws. Next, using a screwdriver, unscrew the lock button. At the final stage, all that remains is to carefully pry the casing with a screwdriver and pull it.

Connecting LEDs

There are several ways to connect LED backlighting to Vesta. The simplest one is to power it from the power window module. This is done like this:

• On the driver's door the connection is made to the power window unit. The blue wire with a black stripe connects to power, and the black wire to ground.
• On the remaining doors, the red wire is connected to power, and the black wire to ground.

But rear electric lifts are present only in the “Lux” configuration, so everyone else will have to look for other ways to install the backlighting of the handles on Vesta. One method involves using the ISO contacts of the radio connector. A6 is connected to the “plus”, A8, respectively, to the “ground” of the car.

Panel device

Note: the full operating instructions for the VAZ 2110 car indicate the need to completely disassemble the dashboard in order to remove it. After the dashboard is disassembled, you can replace the faulty elements yourself.

• To carry out work with electrical wiring, you should be safe and disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.
• The steering column covers are decorative. They need to be separated from the dashboard.
• The car steering wheel is removed. The horn plate remains unchanged.
• The switches that are located under the steering wheel must be separated from the vehicle.
• When disconnecting them, you will need to disconnect the wires and their connection element.
• The headlight range control has a regulator (a specific position switch). It needs to be dismantled.
• The next step is to unscrew the nut, which is located under this regulator.
• The mounting block is opened.
• This opens access to the location of the fuses (they can blow out, and therefore it is necessary to check their serviceability) and the relay block. It may be enough to replace them. Here you need to unscrew the screw securing the bracket. It is located on the left side.
• The wiring block is disconnected from the ignition system. It is also necessary to unscrew the screw that secures the bracket.
• The tips, two in number, are disconnected from the brake signal switch.
• The console trim has two screws. You need to remove them from the car.
• The console bracket is released.
• The screw securing the instrument panel and air duct must be unscrewed.

Note: All wires located under the instrument panel must be disconnected. For the convenience of the upcoming assembly of these mechanisms, it is necessary to mark them, since their number is large.

• The panel wire mount is disconnected from the rest of the power supply system.
• The immobilizer sensor must be disconnected, namely its wires.
• Similar actions occur on the right side of the panel.
• The nut securing the bracket is removed.
• The wires coming from the cigarette lighter are disconnected.
• The same operation must be done with the fog lamp wires.
• The glove box has a bolt at the top. It must be removed from the connector.
• Both screws of the lower fastening of the instrument panel are unscrewed.
• The seal is removed from the front left pillar.
• Plastic holders are dismantled.
• The same technology is applied to the right pillar.
• The ventilation grilles are removed.
• There are two bolts underneath that need to be unscrewed and removed.
• The dashboard extends slightly, about 10 centimeters, into the interior.
• Once the instrument panel remains in the cabin, you need to disconnect the remaining wires near the left door pillar and next to the steering column.

After completing these steps, you can safely begin replacing sensors, backlights and other components of the dashboard. The assembly process occurs in the opposite order of disassembly. The corresponding video and photo will help you do everything right with your own hands. Of course, if you do everything as the instructions require. Parts, light bulbs, fuses, etc. can be purchased at a special store. The price for them is not too high. You may have to spend time selecting parts. Their diversity can lead to a lot of different situations. Sometimes, parts simply do not fit a particular mechanism. The best option would be to use an old part as an example.

How to change standard lighting

Standard lamps can be replaced with more powerful and modern ones. The most suitable option is considered to be the main lamp for interior lighting, borrowed from Priora. To install it you will need to have:

• masking tape;
• sharp knife (can be a stationery knife);
• wrench 12;
• Screwdriver Set;
• pencil or marker for making marks.

Carefully remove the visor next to the rearview mirror. Please note that its weight is quite high, so if you are not careful, the ceiling may collapse completely. Outline the place of the new shade on the visor with a pencil, cut a hole along the contour. Secure the new lamp in this hole using sealant.

Since the old wiring does not work with more modern devices, make a new one. You will need to throw at least 2 wires - “minus” to the body and “plus” to the contact of the new lamp. In foreign cars, the light comes on when the doors are opened, this is very convenient. If you want to do the same, then place the third wire on the limit switch in the door. Route the wiring along the right pillar.

About replacing seats

The standard seats on the VAZ 2110 have never been comfortable. Therefore, car enthusiasts replace them with seats from the following cars: Skoda Octavia A5, Hyundai i30 or BMW E60.

All these chairs are distinguished by their thoughtful design, comfort and compactness. It is not possible to install them in a garage, since the fastenings will have to be seriously modified and reworked. So the car owner has only one option: take the car to the appropriate car service center, having previously agreed with the specialists. The price of such a service is from 40 to 80 thousand rubles.

Work progress

Installing LED lighting for the interior door handles of the Lada Vesta is not too difficult. You just need to follow the recommendations.

First of all, you should connect the resistance to minus or plus. As Andrey noted, he put it in the positive wire. Resistance is necessary to reduce the brightness of the inscription. Otherwise, it will distract you from the road, especially at night.

The door cards should be removed by unscrewing the bolts and removing the trim from the clips.

You also need to remove the power window control unit on the driver's door. You should work carefully so as not to break the plastic latches of the block.

The next step is to drill a hole in the handle panel. It is better to drill with a 2 mm drill, but it is only suitable if resistance soldering will take place on site, directly during the installation process. Otherwise, a larger diameter drill (4 mm) will be required so that the pre-soldered resistance can be pulled into the hole.

The process of connecting LED lighting for interior door handles of Lada Vesta is easiest on versions with full power accessories. In this case, the connection is made directly to the power window control unit.

Contacts are marked in the photo:

1. Black wire – minus;
2. The blue wire with a black stripe is a plus.

As for the passenger doors, all the plugs on them are identical. To connect, you will need two contacts:

1. Red (5th) – plus;
2. Blue (6th) – minus.

The inserts are fixed with a special compound that comes with the kit.

In addition, there are a couple more points.

To protect the inserts, a film is glued to them. It needs to be removed - first tear it a little, and then, after installation is complete, remove it completely. Otherwise it will be difficult to remove it.

If your car has a rear door power window locking function, if you activate it, the inserts will go out. The reason is that in such a situation, “plus” is not supplied to the power windows.

This completes the independent installation of LED lighting for the interior door handles of the Lada Vesta.

The Lada Vesta Prestige car is equipped with additional lighting for the car door handles. The backlight is an LED module, which is attached to the back of the door card and illuminates the handles through a special hole.

However, it is worth noting that not every Lada Vesta Prestige has backlighting, the fact is that they began to be installed only in 2022, but the wiring for the backlight in these trim levels was laid in advance, which greatly facilitates self-installation.

Disassembly and replacement procedure

When the source of the malfunction is identified, the question immediately arises: how to disassemble the ignition switch on a VAZ 2110.

To do this, first it is removed. Since the preparatory work has already been done, the following actions remain:

1. The housing mounting bolts are unscrewed.
2. The lid made of plastic material is removed. The lock is removed.

Replacing the larva

Before changing the ignition switch on a VAZ, sometimes it is enough to replace the cylinder.

The process consists of several steps:

1. A small diameter pin holding the cylinder is removed from the side. The work is carried out using a thin screwdriver and a hammer.
2. The old larva is removed and the new one is installed.
3. To check, the steering wheel is turned and the reliability of the jamming is checked.
4. Sometimes the blocking is adjusted.

After replacing the used element, you need to know how to assemble the ignition switch of a VAZ 2110. This process occurs exactly in the reverse order.

Replacing the contact group

Knowing how to change the ignition switch on a VAZ 2110 with your own hands, this is not always necessary. Ingod the contact group fails, which, like the larva, changes.

Its replacement is carried out in the following order:

1. All contacts are numbered before they are disconnected.
2. Then they are disconnected.
3. 2 latches are removed.
4. The old group is removed and a new one is installed in its place.
5. Then, in the reverse order, the assembly is assembled.

Complete lock replacement

Craftsmen who know how to change the ignition switch on a VAZ 2110 with their own hands have long realized that this process is much easier than replacing individual structural parts.

After disconnecting the battery, removing the steering casing and unscrewing the bolts, the plug is disconnected and the lock is removed. This completes the operation to remove the old node. A new product is installed in its place.

minus for the limit switch, plus for constant 12V? or how?

So on the limit switch there seems to be 1 minus terminal, and where did you get the plus? there is an idea to put such flashlights in 2108

For third-party consumers, I have a separate “plus” connected to the salon through an add-on. fuse block. and there is a permanent plus on the ignition switch.

Why are the doors so dirty at the end? Movil perhaps?

I'm already tired of unsubscribing - THIS IS ANTIKOR MOVILLE!

What does it do on the paintwork?

But I like it, the point is not beauty, but safety.

Collective farm...my 2107 89 is also my family

and the omitted 07 is not a collective farm?

No)) if I installed my own lamp it would be normal... but so... it doesn’t perform any particularly important function

I agree, the role is not particularly important, but it increases security. To install the relatives, it would be necessary to drill out a hole in the door up to 5 cm in diameter, plus 2 more holes for fastening screws. Extra holes in the door. Immediately it was only necessary to slightly enlarge the existing hole.

A little advice

Do not choose too bright, aggressive colors (for example, scarlet or orange) or, on the contrary, too dark shades for the interior trim. The constant irritating factor of the color scheme tires the driver's eye, and in the second case, a long stay in the car can cause a feeling of despondency and unexpected melancholy. Try to choose coffee colors, light gray, chocolate. A black option is also possible, but then it needs to be edged with something light.
