The trunk button of the Lada Granta Cross Station does not work

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.

We did it ourselves: AvtoVAZ drivers solved the problem of opening the trunk lid on a LADA Granta FL

VAZ informed dealers about a problem that Grant owners are already solving on their own.

"Grant" is locked in engineering "stupidity". Collage: Driver-News portal

Not a month goes by without discovering engineering flaws on LADA cars - Granta FL has become the new “patient”. The restyled Grants are equipped with a trunk opening button, which often does not work. The editors of the Driver-News portal talk about the “sad” recommendations of AvtoVAZ and the correct solution to the problem from motorists.

AvtoVAZ recommends that the problem of opening the trunk with the button be solved only by a dealer. There, with the help of diagnostic equipment, they will check the performance of the door spindle and perform a whole series of meaningless procedures designed to “fool” the driver’s head. Especially if the LADA Granta FL is no longer under warranty and you have to pay for the “repair” of the trunk lid. The trouble for AvtoVAZ is that the owners of Grant have already coped with the task themselves, and more successfully than the engineers.

The drivers decided not to go to dealers and not wait weeks for a response from Tolyatti. We found the problem ourselves, and it actually turned out to be in the button located on the arch of the driver's door. The cause of the breakdown is a sticky limit switch that does not release when you press the trunk button, leaving it blocked.

What will the new LADA Granta 2022 be like: Photos, changes, price forecast

The second generation Granta risks losing its identity due to the new platform from Renault and unification with Logan. And if the replacement of the old “trolley” is understandable, then the abandonment of the hatchback body is likely.

The cause of the problem is clear. Footage: YouTube

You can replace the button, which costs 200-300 rubles, yourself, in the garage. The old limit switch needs to be removed along with the wiring; the button is removed from the groove by twisting. After the car you need to turn off the power (for the safety of the “crooked”), remove the old button and connect a new one.

As a result, you can solve the trunk problem on the LADA Granta FL without a trip to the dealership. We previously wrote about the correct removal of the LADA Granta catalyst.

About AvtoVAZ, Hermes, customer focus and the couch drifter (part 3)

Continuation of the story about the defective VAZ and attempts to prove that the breakdown of the car is a defect of the factory, and not the result of improper operation. At the end of the post there will be links to the first and second parts.

The examination, previously scheduled for 14.04, was postponed to 27.04. The expert organization on the dealer’s side was Mosglavexpertiza LLC, and I was also present with my independent expert.

MADI, represented by Mosglavexpertiza LLC, indicated the cost of the work at 51k wooden ones. Not only is the price exorbitant compared to prices in all other expert organizations, but the expert did not even bother to remove error logs and other data from the car’s computer. All elements of the gearbox and tire tread were photographed. The expert asked a couple of questions about the operation of the car. I told him that out of 3200 km in a month of operation, I drove 1200 to Voronezh and back, 800 to Michurinsk and back, and the rest I drove around the city.

The wear of the clutch, brake pads, and other components of the car, which could show that the car was being driven in an aggressive manner, was not measured. Metallurgy was not carried out. They couldn't get the differential axle. The conclusion will be based solely on organoleptic indicators from the photo. Based on the results of the examination (and this is approximately 3 weeks, i.e. the end of May, taking into account the holidays), if the result is on the side of the dealer and the factory, then my expert will write a review of the conclusion.

The dealer's expert has not made any preliminary assumptions. All you have to do is be patient and wait.

Installing a trunk opening button in the interior of a Lada Granta FL

The updated Granta received a number of improvements. For example, the trunk opening button was moved from the interior to the trunk lid. An excellent solution, but in some cases the button in the interior is now missing. For example, it will be useful in cases where there is no desire to get your hands dirty from an external button or when passengers do not know about the presence of this button, but do not want to leave the cabin.

Required

: trunk opening button (article 2822.3710-02).

1. Remove the plug and install the button in its original place.
2. Connect one wire of the button to ground (to the bolt next to it).
3. We connect the second wire to the thin orange wire (do not confuse it with the thick orange one), which is located in the wiring harness at the left threshold.

Will you be installing an additional trunk opening button in the interior of the new Granta?

More expensive models

Expensive luggage racks differ from cheaper models, first of all, in their design. Such devices are in harmony with the appearance of the most stylish car.

3rd place - Roof rack LADA Ganta, Kalina 2004- DATSUN OM-DO MI-DO 2014-, with bars 1.1 m aero-classic

The Lada Granta roof rack includes special racks and mounting hardware. The arcs of the device are made in the form of metal parts with an oval profile. The ends are closed with plastic plugs. The Lada Granta roof rack has a T-shaped groove on the top side for attaching various accessories. A rubberized seal prevents the load from sliding along the crossbar.

Roof rack LADA aero-classic

2nd place — Roof rack LADA XRAY 2016-, with bars 1.2 m aero-classic, bracket behind the door opening

AvtoVAZ did not provide marks on the Xray body where the roof rails should be installed. Therefore, other accessories are used, for example, crossbars. They fit any model and are attached to the roof stiffeners. You can buy a car box by size. This will allow you to load an additional 70-80 kg of luggage.

The trunk release button does not work - what to do, how to repair it

The trunk lid of many modern cars (Volkswagen Passat, Chevrolet Cruze, etc.) is equipped with a special button, which can be pressed to open the trunk lid. During active use of the car and frequent transportation of things in the luggage compartment, this function turns out to be very useful, since there is no need to constantly stick the key into the lock or open the driver's door in order to reach a similar button in the cabin.

However, like any other electrical devices that operate in conditions of constant exposure to changes in temperature and humidity, the button may work intermittently or even break down.

As a rule, everything happens precisely because water gets inside the mechanism due to its insufficient tightness.

If your trunk release button is broken , do not rush to contact an auto electrician - this problem can be fixed with your own hands without difficulty and large financial costs.

First you need to understand how the button itself works and what the principle of its operation is. And here everything is extremely simple: when you press the button, the activator is activated, which removes the latch, opening the trunk. The button itself is a regular switch in a plastic-silicone housing.

Control button combination

To connect, you will need a set of soldering tools (solder, blowtorch, electrical tape or heat shrink tubing), as well as additional parts.
The circuit must include a power relay with a diode. It is this that gives a short-term electrical impulse that opens the trunk door. If the power relay is not included in the kit, it can be purchased separately

It is important that the kit contains a special diode. The peculiarity of this part is that the diode passes a current of a certain charge only in one direction

Accordingly, its correct installation is required. The white strip on the part, indicating the positive side, should be turned towards the red wire, and the negative contact - towards the black and yellow negative cable. For correct connection, you must comply with the diagram below.

How to open the trunk using the StarLine A93 alarm key fob

After activating additional channel one, you can remotely open the luggage compartment. On the Starline A93 2Can 2Lin model and the Lada Granta car, this option is carried out as follows:

• on the key fob, press the second button for a long time until the corresponding melodic signal (at least 3 seconds);
• Then the first key is briefly clicked.

After this, the car blinks its dimensions three times and also gives an impulse to open the trunk. If the security mode is activated, all doors will remain locked, and only the shock sensor will be turned off (for closing the trunk). In this case, the open compartment door will be displayed on the key fob screen.

How to close the trunk using the Starline A93 remote control

The compartment is closed manually due to the fact that modern cars do not have closers. If the car is in security mode, then after five seconds the status will be updated and the compartment lock will be locked. In this case, the bullet will emit a sound signal, and the open door symbol will disappear from the key fob screen. You can open the trunk again either during this time, or after the next command (the second button is long, then the first is short).

5 door or 3 door cars

Car owners of vehicles such as hatchbacks, SUVs and crossovers with an odd number of doors should not have any problems during an emergency opening of the luggage compartment.

Here the main task is to get from inside the car to the cargo compartment. To do this, you must first fold down the rear seats. After this, on the inside of the odd car door, you can see a special handle. After pressing it, you can open the trunk door and repair the lock.

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.

Repairing the trunk release button - using the example of a Chevrolet Cruze

To determine the cause of the breakdown of the Chevrolet Cruze trunk release button, you need to remove it, inspect it and ring it.

1. To remove the panel (saber) with the button and license plate lights, you will have to remove the trim on the inside of the trunk lid.
2. Under it there will be 4 10mm nuts and 2 yellow plastic clips.
3. The nuts are unscrewed, and the clips are carefully pressed inward and snapped off.
4. After this, it is enough to disconnect the connector connecting the wires going to the button and the backlight to completely remove the saber.

When visually inspecting the button from the inside, traces of moisture will usually be visible under the transparent silicone sealant filler.

It gets there during rain through small gaps between the button key and the body, or at the place where the wires are connected (there is also a small gap there). Trying to dry the button with a hairdryer without disassembling it will lead to nothing.

Electric trunk lock Granta liftback installation

For work we will need:

1. Liftback)) 2. Opening button with connector or 2 female wires. 3. Electric drive (installed StarLine SL-2). 4. Cable (approximately 30 cm) and 2 clamps. 5. Electrical tape, wire cutters, wires, flat and Phillips screwdrivers, 8 and 7 wrench.

To install the drive, you need to get rid of the lock rod, probably many people know, it is firmly in place and will not allow the drive to open the lock until you insert the key into the lock, so we install a cable instead, this way you can open the trunk from the outside.

Disassembling the trunk door

We pull off the central plastic (2 pistons and on the edges of the latch)

Unscrew the 2 opened screws and pull them off (on two pistons)

A pair of screws have opened again, unscrew them

We will pull off the main casing from these corners, and before that we unscrew the 2 bolts in the front handles

The trim comes off very easily and this is what's underneath

And here is the thrust of the lock (from the cylinder to the lock itself), we will get rid of it.

The drive we will implement

We select a place for it, I found it here, we make notches for the holes

Pulling off the traction from the larva

We drill holes for the self-tapping screws, put the drive together with our rod inward and just attach it to our place to determine the length of the rod. We hooked up the drive, pulled it out to its full length and the door lock should be open. On the top of the lock there is a ring that you need to pull to open it (it will be clear later in the photo), we bring the rod to the ring and make a notch with wire cutters.

Now we take everything out, the electric drive and the lock itself, by unscrewing 2 bolts with a 8 key. We pull out the right corner of the lock and unhook the second end of the rod, then completely pull out the lock and remove the connector.

Here is the drive rod with a notch, at a distance of 2 cm from the notch we chop off the excess tail with a chisel

Along the notch we bend the rod into the letter “G” and insert it into the lock

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.

Sequence of actions for self-installation of an electric lock

1. 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.
2. Open the luggage compartment lid, unscrew the two mounting screws, and remove the inner part of the plastic trim.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. We go to the fuse block, namely to fuse No. 10A.
6. 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.
7. We install a mechanical button instead of a plug under the optics regulator (hydraulic corrector).
8. We assemble the casing and check that the system is working properly.

Installation and connection of an electric lock to the central locking

Car enthusiasts who have installed an electric lock on the trunk of their car with their own hands recommend using standard kits from retail chains. Installing high-quality components means ensuring the operational reliability of the electric lock. Chinese manufacturers offer good installation kits for trunk lid locks. Machine kits include: electric drives; buttons; rod sets; wires with fuses; relyushki; installation strips. It is impossible to install electric locks without the appropriate tools and auxiliary materials, such as insulating, corrugated tubes, and fasteners.

Having decided to install it yourself, you will have to perform a number of plumbing works on the machine. This includes marking for electric lock components, drilling holes for fasteners, installation, fastening. The sequence of work is similar to the previous ones:

1. On the trunk of a particular car, locations for mounting an electric locking device are determined. After marking, installation holes are drilled, the drive and clamp are attached.
2. If necessary, the electric lock components are modified. The lock drive rods are installed with preliminary markings.
3. The battery terminals are disconnected; according to the electrical diagram, it is necessary to install and lay the wires and connect them to the appropriate contacts and connectors. Use a multimeter to check the correct connections of the electric lock on the trunk of the car. The terminals are connected to the battery.
4. The lock is connected to the main central locking button, or to an individual one installed in a convenient place inside the car.
5. The operation of the electric lock is checked. If necessary, adjustment and fitting work is carried out.

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.

Konstantin, it is possible, even necessary. There is no fundamental difference where to connect the minus.

On the Lada Granta from 2022, the trunk opens from a button located on the trunk lid. To make opening the trunk easier, you can install an additional button in the Grant FL's interior.

Standard VAZ button worth 50-100 rubles

We connect the gray wire to Ground in its normal place

We connect the blue wire to the orange one in the Grant FL threshold

The trunk lid of many modern cars (Volkswagen Passat, Chevrolet Cruze, etc.) is equipped with a special button, which can be pressed to open the trunk lid.

During active use of the car and frequent transportation of things in the luggage compartment, this function turns out to be very useful, since there is no need to constantly stick the key into the lock or open the driver's door in order to reach a similar button in the cabin.

Review of Manufacturer Prices

*prices are current as of 10/09/18.

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.

Electric trunk lid lock for VAZ Granta

Dear customers, in order to avoid mistakes when sending the trunk lid lock with electric drive of the VAZ 2190 Lada Granta, in the “Comment” line, indicate the model of your car, year of manufacture.

The trunk lock 2190-5606010-10 with an electric drive (activator) ensures automatic opening of the trunk lid of the Lada Granta, which significantly simplifies the life of the driver of this vehicle.

The automatic trunk opening function is a fairly new option, the existence of which most car owners of new car models are just beginning to get used to.

The essence of the operation of the activator (electric drive), which makes it possible to achieve such a result, is, in principle, not complicated: when someone presses the corresponding button in the car interior, the trunk lid lock is activated through this part, as a result of which it opens.

It’s a small thing, but it makes life so much easier for vehicle owners, especially during the cold season (the keyhole freezes). This device is compatible with a standard (mechanical) lock, which means that when opening the luggage compartment lid, you can use two methods simultaneously, which, by the way, increases resistance to burglary.

Today, there are two types of drives that, in order to open the trunk lid, bring the rod into working condition - this is a mechanism that has either an electric motor or magnetic plates.

The first is more common, as it is quite practical and durable, and the second, due to the complexity of the design and frequent problems with use, has not gained much popularity among car enthusiasts.

When using a VAZ 2190 Lada Granta trunk lid lock with an electric drive, the luggage compartment can be opened using the remote control key fob button, or using a button mounted in the luggage compartment lid.

The trunk lid lock 2190-5606010-10 with an electric drive for the Lada Granta is certainly a useful and necessary thing, but only if its installation is justified.

Other article numbers of the product and its analogues in catalogues: 21900560601010.

Any breakdown is not the end of the world, but a completely solvable problem!

How to install and replace the electric trunk lid lock on a Lada Granta car yourself.

AvtoAzbuka online store, repair costs will be minimal.

Just COMPARE and BE SURE.

Repairing the trunk release button - using the example of a Chevrolet Cruze

To determine the cause of the breakdown of the Chevrolet Cruze trunk release button, you need to remove it, inspect it and ring it.

1. To remove the panel (saber) with the button and license plate lights, you will have to remove the trim on the inside of the trunk lid.
2. Under it there will be 4 10mm nuts and 2 yellow plastic clips.
3. The nuts are unscrewed, and the clips are carefully pressed inward and snapped off.
4. After this, it is enough to disconnect the connector connecting the wires going to the button and the backlight to completely remove the saber.

When visually inspecting the button from the inside, traces of moisture will usually be visible under the transparent silicone sealant filler.

It gets there during rain through small gaps between the button key and the body, or at the place where the wires are connected (there is also a small gap there). Trying to dry the button with a hairdryer without disassembling it will lead to nothing.

In this case, there are only two possible solutions to the problem:

• Buying a new button and replacing it completely.
• Complete disassembly of the button body and cleaning/drying and sealing it.

The first option is the simplest, but there is one “but”: the trunk opening button is not sold separately, but only in a group with two license plate illumination lamps.

The original part costs about 2000 rubles. The Chinese analogue from Aliexpress will cost three times less, but there are doubts about the quality of production. Therefore, before going to the car market for a new button, you can try to repair the “native” one.

For repairs you will need a minimum of tools and materials:

• multimeter (tester);
• screwdriver;
• sharp knife;
• hair dryer;
• sealant or hot glue gun;
• sandpaper-zero.

An electric multimeter is needed to check (“ring”) the button. To do this, just join the contacts button and click on it.

Malfunctions of the ignition switch LADA “Granta”

Ignition switch failures can be divided into two types: electrical and mechanical. Electrical faults include malfunctions of the contact group of the lock, as a result of which individual energy consumers (most often the starter) or the entire Granta electrical system as a whole stop working. This also includes a breakdown of the car's immobilizer. Mechanical malfunctions occur due to breakdown of parts of the ignition switch or contact group, as well as physical wear of the contacts. This also includes cases when, due to poor contact, heating and melting of the plastic parts of the contact group occurs. Signs of a malfunction in the ignition switch of the LADA Granta:

• the key does not turn;
• when turning the key the ignition does not turn on;
• The starter or other electrical appliances do not work.

The last two signs do not necessarily indicate problems specifically in the ignition switch, but they certainly appear when the contact group is faulty.

To eliminate the malfunction, it is necessary to replace the LADA Granta ignition switch or part of it, for example, a contact group.

What is needed to replace the Granta ignition switch

To replace the ignition switch you will need:

• key to 10;
• a thin chisel and a hammer (or a drill with a drill bit to drill out bolts with self-cutting heads);
• screwdriver;
• new ignition switch LADA “Granta” or contact group.

Luxury or necessity?

Automatic opening of the car trunk is a function that most car enthusiasts who have switched to new cars are just starting to get used to. When you press a button inside the car, an electric drive is activated, which activates the lock, causing the trunk lid to open.

It would seem like a small thing, but in the cold season, the electric drive significantly simplifies the life of car owners. In models with a conventional mechanical lock, many often encountered a problem when, after washing the car, the lock freezes and cannot be opened. Someone pours boiling water over the lock, someone simply warms the key, in a word, everyone invents what they can. This will not happen with an electric drive.

The electric drive is compatible with a standard lock, and you can use two methods simultaneously when opening the trunk lid, increasing burglary resistance. The device is installed mainly on imported cars. In the assembly of domestic cars, an electric drive in the trunk appeared quite recently. Car owners who lack this convenience can easily install such a mechanism.

Features of choice - what does the driver need to know?

When purchasing a lock, you should consider how exactly it will be controlled. If it will only be used for opening using a button from the interior, then a standard one will do - its installation is quite easy to do yourself. In order for an electric lock to be activated from the alarm remote control, a more complex electrical mechanism is needed, the connection of which should only be entrusted to an experienced electrician.

Several models of electric locks are sold on the domestic market. By type, they are standard with side fastenings and reinforced (a little more expensive) - they are made of higher quality and are more reliable in use. When purchasing an electric lid drive, it is best to choose a kit with an inertia mechanism. This mechanism does not allow the engine to experience a constant load - if its rod rests against something, it turns off.

The principle of operation of the inertial mechanism is that when the button is pressed, such a mechanism first unwinds, increasing its traction force, and transmits it further to the pushing rod. At this time, a drive with a conventional motor type continues to operate while under load - it can quickly fail due to overheating.

How to open the trunk on a station wagon, sedan and convertible

Let's start with the simplest thing - these are station wagons. A station wagon is a car body that has a closed design. The luggage compartment in such a car has a common roof with the car interior. This suggests that you can get into the trunk of a car through the interior of the car. To do this, you need to remove the top shelf and the trunk will be within a meter of the driver’s hands.

If dismantling the rear parcel shelf is not provided for by the design of the car, then there are probably locks that hold the back of the rear seat. For example, on a VAZ 2121 Niva, you can unfasten special latches and the back of the rear seat will move forward. This way you can take the keys from the trunk without opening it.

This method becomes relevant for the latest model Niva, since the first SUVs of this series had a special button on the trunk lid designed to open the trunk without the participation of special levers in the cabin or the car key.

What kind of cargo can be transported?

The luggage structure will allow you to transport more things, but not more than 50 kilograms. Suitable for transportation:

• some types of building materials: pipes, boards, linoleum, etc.; things;
• packaged foods, bagged vegetables;
• bicycles, tents, other sports equipment;
• fishing equipment.

With the help of simple devices, you can increase the usable area of ​​the car and transport cargo that does not fit in a regular trunk.
