Modern car enthusiasts rarely use this socket for its intended purpose. Additional devices such as phone chargers are connected to the cigarette lighter socket. However, over time the device breaks down.
If you have the necessary knowledge and tools, replacing the cigarette lighter on a Lada Kalina car is a simple procedure. For repairs, you only need a standard set of hexagons, a screwdriver, pliers and a soldering iron. Read the article about why a malfunction occurs, how to identify it and replace the device, and why you should pay attention to the fuse.
Reasons why the cigarette lighter does not work on Kalina
This device on the car may break down over time. The main causes of cigarette lighter malfunctions are:
- Short circuit in the VAZ Kalina wiring circuit. A short circuit can appear due to various nuances: incorrect connection of the alarm system, faulty battery, “fatigue” wiring or moisture on the contacts. The fuse trips.
- Overheating of the heating element itself. The spiral may burst.
- The cigarette lighter on Kalina sometimes does not work due to poor contact in the socket itself.
- When connecting additional devices, the cigarette lighter fuse may blow. You need to disassemble the front panel and get to the block to check the serviceability of the circuit.
Is it possible to increase or decrease the indicators?
Car manufacturers strictly prohibit interfering with the design of standard electrical wiring. Installing fuses with a higher rating leads to overheating of electrical harnesses and destruction of insulators. In the event of a short circuit, the insert is not destroyed, which leads to heating of the metal cables and a fire in the instrument panel or engine compartment. Since the design of the car uses flammable materials, the slightest fire in the cabin leads to complete burnout of the car.
During operation of the machine, you should not install splitters for several devices in the standard cigarette lighter, which do not ensure the safety of the electrical circuit connection. If there is poor contact between the insert and the body, the metal contacts burn, impairing the conductivity of the metals. In this case, it is necessary to replace worn parts; traces of carbon deposits are removed with sandpaper.
If the owner of the car wants to connect equipment with increased power (for example, an electric pump for inflating tires), then it is necessary to install a separate outlet. The device is connected directly to the battery; a protective fuse is provided in the circuit. For connection, copper wire with an increased cross-section is used, capable of withstanding increased load. Switching through a relay is allowed, allowing the socket to be used only after the ignition is turned on (to protect the battery from discharge).
The VAZ-2118 Kalina car, like many other models of domestic and foreign cars, has a cigarette lighter socket in the cabin, which, in addition to its direct purpose, is used to connect various devices, from diagnostic equipment to special car chargers for cell phones. It’s hard to imagine the life of a modern person without electronic gadgets, so it turns out that from prolonged use as a socket, the cigarette lighter quickly wears out and stops working.
There can be many reasons why the cigarette lighter on Kalina does not work. The first is that the depth of its connector does not always allow the plug of the connected device to be fully inserted, which causes a short circuit in the on-board network of the Lada Kalina. As a result, the cigarette lighter does not work. Contacts that are very close to each other in the cigarette lighter socket can also cause a short circuit.
Replacing the cigarette lighter on Kalina 1st or 2nd generation
The repair process is practically the same for these Lada models. It is also relevant for the Grant or Priora family. To replace the cigarette lighter with your own hands on Kalina 1st or 2nd generation, just follow the following procedure.
- Open the hood, find the battery and disconnect the negative terminal from it. It is recommended to remove it, because the mass is powered through the car body. If you turn off the plus, it will touch the body.
- We unscrew the three mounting bolts around the parking brake handle, which is located on top of the central tunnel. We dismantle the hand brake limit switch.
- We unscrew the rear fastening screw and additional screws on the sides.
- Remove the cover from the gear lever, and then lift the tunnel cover. Now you can remove the Kalina cigarette lighter itself.
- We disconnect the power plug coming to the electrical wiring circuit.
- We press the special latches that hold the cigarette lighter. After it pops out, it can be replaced.
- We install a new part on the Lada Kalina. After replacement, we carry out the assembly process. We perform all steps in reverse order.

Replacing the socket in the Kalina cigarette lighter
The device may not work due to a faulty seat. You should replace the socket of a broken cigarette lighter on a Lada Kalina by following the same procedure.
- Disconnect the terminals from the battery.
- Remove the gearshift lever casing and the central tunnel cover by unscrewing the screws holding the decorative plastic.
- Disconnect the contact chip and then remove the socket.
- Replace the part with a new one.
- Reassemble in reverse order.
Detailed step-by-step instructions are presented in the profile video.
Fuse marking on a Lada station wagon
For this modification of the model, the same protective elements are provided. The fuse number for the cigarette lighter of the Lada Kalina station wagon is 20 or 18 depending on the generation. After installing a new element, it is recommended to follow some rules to extend the life of the device.
- Do not connect several powerful devices to the Lada Kalina at the same time (via a splitter). Otherwise the fuse will blow. The total power of the connected devices is calculated by the value (P=I*A, where I is the voltage of 12 volts, and A is the current). For the first generation this figure is 180 Watts, for the second – 240 Watts.
- Do not install a fuse with a higher amperage rating than that recommended by the manufacturer.
- Do not allow the socket to become loose or make poor contact with the cartridge - this can lead to a short circuit.
How to change the Kalina cigarette lighter lamp
The heating element itself has additional lighting around the socket. The backlight sometimes burns out when the fuse trips. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the cigarette lighter bulb on Kalina. The order of procedures begins in a similar way.
- Remove the contacts from the battery.
- We get to the fuse block, where we take out number F20.
- We unscrew all the screws holding the gearbox housing and lift it. It will be most convenient to put the box in 4th gear.
- We hook the device by the green filter and pull it out along with it.
- Turn it clockwise to disconnect the clamps.
- We dismantle the metal base.
- We take out the plastic green case.
- We find a cartridge with a paw. We take it out and replace it with a new one.
- We assemble in reverse order.

The principle of installing piston rings on a VAZ 2107 car
When all the steps are completed and the connecting rod along with the piston are removed, it is necessary to clean them of carbon deposits and dirt.
After a preliminary inspection, you need to remove the piston rings. It should be noted here that the rings will have to be replaced, so you should not be afraid of breaking the parts that came off. Now installing new rings, you need to start with the oil scraper ring. First of all, install the expansion ring, which is made in the form of a flexible spring with a rod or an octagon-shaped plate. When a new ring is installed on the piston, you should gradually push it through and periodically measure the gap, because it must be a certain distance.
If at the extreme point the gap is more than 0.4 mm, then the ring must be changed, and if it is less than 0.25 mm, then the whole problem is in the lock and it should be sharpened. If the gap size is normal, then install the ring. Moreover, it should be taken into account that the locks should not coincide, but rather have a difference of 90 degrees between themselves. This procedure should be performed with all rings on all pistons.
When the replacement is complete, before installing everything back, pay attention to the gaskets and also clean the engine. These operations will improve engine performance
If compression is insufficient, the VAZ 2106 engine loses power and begins to consume excessively not only gasoline, but also oil. In the best case, you can get by with a simple replacement of the piston rings, in the worst case, a complete overhaul of the engine, starting from turning the cylinders, replacing the piston group and ending with repairing the car’s crankshaft.
If you decide to change the rings yourself, there should not be any special problems when performing this repair. Of course, you will need a considerable list of tools to do this as quickly and conveniently as possible. And also, it is necessary to perform a number of preparatory work to get to the pistons:
- Remove the cylinder head of the VAZ 2106
- Remove the pan to gain access to the crankshaft and connecting rod mountings
Personally, I carried out this procedure with the engine removed, since the car was almost completely disassembled. But everything can be done even with the engine installed, but then it is most convenient to carry out repairs on a pit or a lift.
So, after the pan cover is removed, you can take a 14mm socket with a wrench and unscrew the two nuts securing the connecting rod cover. This is shown more clearly below:
When both nuts are unscrewed, you can remove the cover by hand; it can usually be easily removed without any problems:
Then, with a certain force, you need to press the connecting rod bolt with your hand or even with the handle of a hammer:
Until the piston comes out from the back of the cylinder. It will roughly look like this:
This should be done quite carefully so as not to damage either the piston itself or the cylinder walls:
Next, you can begin to remove and replace the piston rings if the cylinders are not yet worn out. To do this, carefully pry the edge of the ring with your fingernail or finger and remove it from the piston groove:
And carefully turn the ring until it is completely free from the groove:
After all the rings, both compression and oil control, have been removed, you can measure the clearance by inserting them into the cylinder and inserting a feeler gauge into the hole between the two edges:
If the values exceed the nominal values, we replace the rings with new ones. After which you can install all the parts in the reverse order of removal.
It is worth paying special attention that when installing the rings, their locks should be directed in different directions for greater tightness of the cylinder
Cigarette lighter repair
If the device on a Kalina car does not work, this is not always evidence of a breakdown of the part itself. Therefore, before replacing the cigarette lighter, it is necessary to check the most common locations of other faults. It is worth making sure that the appropriate fuse is intact or that there is constant contact with the ignition. These places should be checked before proceeding with replacement or full repair.
Frequent malfunctions
There are certain reasons why the Kalina device may not work. The most common of them.
- Burnt fuse. The block with it is located under the front panel. We are interested in the fuse element number F20.
- Broken filament.
- Triggered fuse protection against overheating and fire.
- Corroded contacts responsible for the terminals and ground connections.

Installing an additional cigarette lighter (12 V) in Kalina
This is a convenient device. It is often used to connect various chargers for mobile gadgets or laptops. There are even splitters with USB connectors. Therefore, installing an additional cigarette lighter is a popular procedure. Already now there are devices on the market with a standard socket input, but with an output for several connections.
The cost of such devices for Kalina is 1 – 1.5 thousand rubles. When replacing, you need to remember that you do not need to overload the car’s wiring by connecting several devices at once - the fuse will blow under increased load. Some “craftsmen” solve the problem differently. A more powerful fuse is placed, but this is dangerous due to wiring burnout and fire. Therefore, everything should be done according to the instructions.

Let's sum it up
All processes for restoring the operation of the cigarette lighter socket are performed independently. Only if one of the wires connecting the equipment is burned out, you will have to contact specialists with a request to replace this wire. In all other situations, it is enough to use your own strength and quickly fix the problem using a soldering iron or simply replacing the fuse or cigarette lighter head.
If your car has non-working electrical equipment, it is worth finding out the causes of the breakdown and eliminating them. This will increase the operating comfort of the vehicle and make the machine safe to use. Have you ever had problems with your cigarette lighter?

Selection of piston for VAZ Zhiguli cylinder
- Repair manuals
- Repair manual for VAZ 2107 (Zhiguli) 1982+.
- Selection of piston to cylinder
The calculated gap between the piston and cylinder (for new parts) is 0.05–0.07 mm. It is determined by measuring the cylinders and pistons and is ensured by installing pistons of the same class as the cylinders. The maximum permissible gap (if parts are worn) is 0.15 mm.
| Rice. 3–25. Main dimensions of piston, connecting rod, piston pin and piston rings |
NOTE The piston diameter is measured in a plane perpendicular to the piston pin, at a distance of 52.4 mm from the piston crown (see Fig.
).According to the outer diameter, the pistons are divided into five classes (A, B, C, D, E) every 0.01 mm, and according to the diameter of the piston pin hole - into three categories every 0.004 mm. The piston class (letter) and the piston pin hole category (number) are stamped on the piston bottom
If a used engine has a gap exceeding 0.15 mm, then it is necessary to re-select the pistons to the cylinders so that the gap is as close as possible to the calculated one.
Spare parts include pistons of classes A, C, E. These classes are sufficient to select a piston for any cylinder, since pistons and cylinders are divided into classes with some overlapping sizes.

Description of the ELECTRICAL DIAGRAM
Note. This diagram does not show the connection points and wiring harness terminals. Along with the letter designation of the color of the wires, the designation of the number of the circuit element to which the given wire is directed is used, for example “6”.
Troubleshooting pumps
Now let's move on to consider the situation when the reason lies directly in the fuel pump itself. Replacing a unit is a drastic measure that can be avoided in almost the vast majority of cases.

Scheme
- To check the LADA Kalina pump, you will need to dismantle it.
- Access to the device location is provided through the rear of the cabin. To do this, you will need to remove the rear seat cushion.
- The pump module is closed with a special cover; when removing it, you will need to remove the fixing fasteners.
- When the ignition is turned on, the pump may not pump at all or supply fuel intermittently. If this is present, the device requires maintenance or replacement.
- The further dismantling process involves removing the cover and disconnecting the pipes.
- Now you can unscrew the locking ring, after which you need to carefully remove the pump from the cavity of the fuel tank.
- We carefully inspect the dismantled unit for clogging of the filter present in its module, which is made in the form of a mesh. If it is not very clogged, then it can be washed, but when there are breaks and a high degree of contamination, then no alternative replacement is required.
This type of routine maintenance is not covered by the Lada Kalina operational manual. Despite this, the mesh on the pump should be replaced every 50 thousand km of the distance traveled. Such experience has the right to life due to the insufficient quality of domestic fuel.
Determining the need to replace the pump filter component is not difficult. As noted, this is done through visual inspection. Usually the mesh contains a dirty-brown mixture, which includes metal particles and other debris. The bottom of the pump assembly cup is often littered with solid particles of various natures.
Regarding the previously mentioned possibility of washing the mesh, many experts have a negative attitude towards this practice. Compared to the labor costs of dismantling the pump, the cost of the mesh itself is quite insignificant - about 100 rubles. It would be more rational and correct, in our opinion, to replace it, the main thing is to know where it is.
Why doesn't the cigarette lighter work?
Perhaps the fuse was blown due to too much load from the compressor, charger or cigarette lighter splitter. This is one of the most common and easily fixed problems in Lada Kalina. You will need to open the fuse compartment cover to the left of the steering wheel and replace the blown one. Typically used before. 15 or 20A regular flag.
Another common reason for the cigarette lighter not to work is the unbending of the metal contacts inside it. For example, you often use a charger or power strip. Because of this, the contacts inside the cigarette lighter are unbent. In order for it to work again, you just need to bend them. This must be done carefully using a thin flat-head screwdriver without shorting the contacts, otherwise the fuse will be blown out.
If you decide to completely replace the cigarette lighter, you will need to dismantle the console from the handbrake to the instrument panel with the gearbox cover, only then can you remove the device.
Removing the hub
To remove the rear wheel hub of a VAZ-2108, you will need to perform a few simple manipulations:
- Completely unscrew the wheel bolts.
- Remove the wheel.
- Unscrew the nut that is located on the hub.
- Using a 12mm wrench, unscrew the studs that secure the brake drum to the wheel hub.
- Place these pins in adjacent holes and tighten them evenly. This way you will be able to move the brake drum from its place. If this does not help, you need to carefully knock the drum out of its place using a hammer and a wooden spacer.
- Use long bolts; they need to be screwed into two opposite holes on the hub. It is necessary to tighten them until the hub begins to move out of its place. You can also use a three-jaw puller for this purpose. The last resort is to install the back of the wheel and pull it with your hands.
- Sometimes the inner race of the bearing remains on the axle. It needs to be removed. To do this, first, using a chisel, you need to slightly move this ring on the axis, and then install a puller with two legs. After dismantling, be sure to check that there is no damage to the axle. Otherwise, clean the metal with a fine file.
At this point, dismantling the hub is completed, it is in your hands, and you can replace the bearing. The dimensions of the rear hub of the VAZ-2108 are the same as those of similar models that were produced under the names “Samara” and “Samara-2”.
