Description of indicators and lamps on the instrument panel of the VAZ-2112

The development of technology in the automotive industry is gradually pushing garage repair, so popular in the vast expanses of the former Soviet Union, into the past. To repair a modern car, you should contact a service center. However, there is one more point - in order to contact them in a timely manner, you need to know where exactly the problem is.

Delving a little deeper into history, it is worth noting that over time it became increasingly difficult for owners to control the condition of the car’s components themselves, and designers had to solve this problem. In Western countries, it received a solution back in the 80s of the last century - cars began to be equipped with a number of auxiliary devices that display all the necessary information on the panel.

Disassembly and replacement of devices

To replace (repair) devices, you need to perform the following actions in a strictly established order:

The entire combination of devices should be completely removed.

Unscrew the screws (2 pcs.) that secure the tire. After which the bus itself must be disconnected from the device system board.

Unscrew the screws (7 pcs.) that secure the frame with glass.

You need to remove the frame by disconnecting it from the device system.

Unscrew the 2 screws that secure the device composition board.

Disconnect the left light filter, which is marked with warning lamp symbols.

Disconnect the right light filter, which has warning lamp symbols on it.

Unscrew the screws (2 pieces each) that secure the reddish and snow-white pads. Then remove these pads.

Unscrew the nuts securing the fuel level sensor, cooling water temperature sensor and tachometer. Each device is secured with 3 nuts.

Disconnect the board from the device system housing.

Unscrew the screws securing the device scale to the body (5 pcs.).

Remove the scale with devices from the system body.

Very carefully, prying the arrow of the fuel level indicator with a screwdriver, you need to remove it from the axle.

Unscrew the screws (2 pcs.) that secure the fuel level indicator to the scale.

Disconnect the fuel level indicator. Install a new one in its place. When installing the sensor, perform all steps in the reverse order of removal.

Change other devices in the same manner as described. This is the entire repair of the VAZ 2110 device panel. You see, there is nothing difficult and there is no need to go to a special service center and pay money.

The assembly of the device system must be carried out in the reverse order of the disassembly procedure. When carrying out this work, you need to take into account that the nuts that secure the tachometer have a different thread.

How to remove the tidy

On a VAZ 2110, removing the dashboard from the dashboard is not difficult, and the only tools you need are a Phillips screwdriver and pliers or a wrench. With their help, we will remove the positive terminal from the battery before starting work. So, lower the steering wheel and unscrew the 4 screws that secure the decorative trim.

Releasing the decorative trim on the VAZ 2110

After this, we pull the cover towards ourselves, and it can be easily removed, hanging on the wires of the switches. To prevent the cover from getting in the way, the wires from the switches can be disconnected - they are on the connectors.

Disconnecting wires from switches and removing buttons located on the decorative trim

Before disconnecting the connectors, do not forget to label them so as not to mix them up during assembly!

So, now we have a tidy in front of us, which is held in place by two screws located on the sides.

The instrument panel is secured with two screws

We unscrew them and carefully remove the panel, not forgetting that it is also on the wires. In principle, the wires supplying the instrument console in the VAZ do not need to be disconnected, since their length is sufficient to replace the lamps.

Nuances and subtleties of do-it-yourself tuning of the instrument panel illumination of the VAZ 2110

The entire composition of devices on the panel is secured with 2 bolts and consists partly of mechanical and partly of electrical components. The electrical component of an ordinary panel is a speedometer and tachometer, but some cars from the VAZ 2110 model range already have an electrical panel .

Also, there must be indicators: coolant temperature, availability, fuel level, as well as warning lights, of which there are 12 installed on the VAZ 2110.

All device connections are stored in a printed circuit board, which is mounted on the back of the case.

LED instrument panel lighting

In this article we will look at how to improve the appearance of the instrument panel by changing the brightness and color of the backlight of instrument scales and buttons at your discretion, since according to these parameters the standard panel

Not all owners of these cars are satisfied with the VAZ 2109 devices. To do this, we will install LEDs instead of conventional incandescent light bulbs used to illuminate the instrument panel. They have a brighter glow and come in different colors that you can choose according to your preference. Standard colors are white, red, green, blue, and purple is also found. Please note that to illuminate the buttons, LEDs with a regular base like a light bulb are used, and to illuminate the instrument cluster, you need to install such an LED in a special socket; soldering will be required. But you can also purchase a ready-made LED already mounted in a socket.

LED for illuminating the instrument panel (left) and buttons (right)

In addition, there are LEDs on sale that have a point glow, when the light of the diode is narrowly directed in only one direction (forward), and LEDs that have a diffuse glow, which is achieved by a special shape of the LED lens. Which one you prefer, choose for yourself. So let's get started.

Simple and fast upgrade

In principle, with your own hands you can either completely replace instrument panel of a VAZ 2110 or tuning the existing one.

One of the quite popular options is replacing light bulbs with LEDs. Moreover, there is no difficulty in this - you need to remove the light bulbs and insert LEDs in their place.

However, there is one small trick: they work well only if the polarity is observed! If the LED does not light up immediately when connected, you need to remove it, turn it 180 degrees, then reinsert it into the socket.

Even such a simple replacement will increase the brightness of the dashboard , but this is not enough, it is hardly worth completing the tuning with your own hands.

Bottom part

Let's look at the indicators at the bottom of the control panel. If they don’t light up, it means the machine is working normally, and when any of them lights up, this indicates a malfunction in certain components. Most often, this is a signal that repairs are needed, and the sooner the better. From left to right:

The additional front panel of the new-style BSK control has indicators:

• An oil can is shown. If the light works, check the oil level;
• An icon lights up, which, with some imagination, can be “identified” as working wipers. This indicates that there is not enough windshield washer fluid in the tank;
• Conventional image of a thermometer over a container with liquid - high temperature of antifreeze;
• A crossed out light, which the arrow points to, is a sign that the brake light or parking lights are not working;
• If the light with the image of a wheel with brake pads lights up, it is quite possible that the pads are worn out and require replacement;
• The sign of a man with a seat belt indicates that the seat belt should be fastened.

Repair of instrument panel VAZ 2110

On cars of the VAZ 2110-2112 family, the dashboard includes control lights and on-board instruments, with the help of which the driver can easily monitor the condition of the car. The following indicator lights are displayed on the instrument panel: coolant temperature, turn signals, tachometer, fuel level, speedometer, an image in the form of a gas station, indicating that it is necessary to refuel, lights for turning on the dimensions and high beams, low brake fluid level, a screen reflecting the vehicle’s mileage, emergency alarm system, Check Engine, which signals engine malfunctions, a display with a clock, an indication of a generator malfunction or battery charging, an indication that the handbrake is turned on, a low oil pressure light choke light

Removing the instrument panel and preparing for replacement

To change the lamps in the instrument panel, the latter will have to be removed. It cannot be said that the PP can be removed with one movement of the hand: the designers of the VAZ 2107 made dismantling a little more difficult than on other cars of the VAZ family. Nevertheless, dismantling the PP is quite feasible in a garage or even a parking lot. In this case, the operation does not require any special knowledge. The tools we will need are:

• small flat screwdriver or knife;
• crosshead screwdriver.

I think all this will be found in the trunk of any VAZ 2107, and we can get started. First of all, we remove the plastic handles from the heating control knobs by prying them off with a flat screwdriver.

READ What Bulbs Are on a Volkswagen Polo Sedan

Location of lamps on the dashboard of the VAZ 2110

In order to replace a specific light bulb, you need to clearly know its location. Let's look at the dashboard of a VAZ 2110 car and find out which light bulb is responsible for what.

What lamps are installed and how many of them?

The VAZ instrument panel is illuminated and the status of the vehicle’s components is indicated using 12 V 1.2 W incandescent lamps, which are installed in a 2W2 socket. The lamp is easily pulled out of the socket - you just need to pull it with your fingers; it can be purchased either separately or with a socket. In total, 20 lamps are used for lighting and indication in the instrument panel for the VAZ 2110, and they are inexpensive - 5-10 rubles. (at the time of writing) depending on brand (without cartridge).

If desired, instead of incandescent lamps, you can install LED ones in the VAZ instrument panel - they are produced for the same voltage with the same standard size and can be either with or without a socket. By the way, in the latest modifications of dozens of VAZs, LED light sources have already been installed.

Why are LEDs better?

First of all, they have a longer service life (up to 20-30,000 hours instead of 1,000 for incandescent lamps). They are not afraid of vibrations and are 8 times more economical. But you have to pay for all this in the literal sense of the word: LED light bulbs are many times more expensive than their conventional incandescent counterparts. If you consider that there are 20 of them in the VAZ panel, the amount will be considerable.

Be careful with the generator warning lamp; based on feedback from our readers, it is better to replace it only with the same one.

Replacing warning lamps in the instrument panel

In many cars, including the VAZ 2110, warning lamps A12?1,2 are used in the instrument cluster. When replacing the lamp, do the following:

The socket together with the burnt out lamp should be turned counterclockwise all the way.

Remove the lamp socket from the instrument system.

A new lamp is installed in place of the burned out one in the reverse order. All other instrument cluster lamps are replaced using the same method.

The importance of every light bulb

If one of the lamps does break, it should be replaced as soon as possible. The thing is that each light bulb signals one or another malfunction. If one of them is broken, the driver will not be able to know that, for example, he is running out of fuel. This can lead to quite unpleasant consequences.

It also happens that the light indicates a malfunction in the fuel system. This is a fairly serious problem, so it needs to be addressed urgently.

What are dashboard lights for?

VAZ 2114 is one of the highest quality, dynamic and beautiful models of the domestic automobile industry, with excellent technical characteristics. However, it also has its drawbacks, one of which is the dashboard, which is not particularly reliable and of high quality. A common problem with the dashboard is the rapid failure of the backlight lamps.

Working illumination of the dashboard of a VAZ 2114 car

The backlight bulbs provide the driver with various information that allows them to monitor the condition of the car and diagnose possible malfunctions in a timely manner. There may be several reasons for their operation:

• the battery is discharged;
• holding the handbrake;
• lack of fuel in the gas tank;
• a decrease in engine oil pressure is a reason that requires stopping the car to avoid engine damage;
• accumulation of water in the filter. Excess liquid is drained to prevent it from entering the pump;
• malfunctions in the fuel system;
• engine malfunctions.

Failure of instrument panel lamps may cause the driver to miss a breakdown or malfunction that could cause an accident. For this reason, you should not delay replacing light bulbs.

Features of the functioning of light bulbs on the dashboard

The VAZ dashboard is needed to inform the car enthusiast about any processes occurring in the car. This means that using the dashboard you can monitor the status of the car, as well as monitor your driving. In addition, it is the dashboard that is needed in order to diagnose certain malfunctions. All this means that the lights on the panel do not light up just like that, but for some specific reason.

One of the most common causes of light bulb failure is prolonged use. Another reason is problems with contacts. Almost any car part requires replacement after a certain period of time. Light bulbs are no exception. And some problems may require the help of an electrician.

Features of replacing a light bulb in the instrument panel of a VAZ 2114

There are 13 lamps in the dashboard, but not all of them can be replaced. Unfortunately, only 8 bulbs can be replaced.

Before you begin the process of replacing the lamp, you need to clean the contacts in case there are any traces of oxidation on them. Sometimes it is not the lamp that needs to be changed, but only its socket.

Before you buy new lamps for the panel, you need to calculate the total number of devices that are needed for the sensors.

Don't forget about checking. If the new lamps do not work, this means that the replacement was not carried out correctly. It is possible that the reason is that the new light bulb has some kind of defect.

Dashboard side mounting screws

If the light does not light, then the cause of the malfunction may be a malfunction of the contacts. This is a pretty serious problem. It may require the help of a qualified electrician to resolve it as quickly as possible.

Another relevant tip concerns current trends. Some car owners are not looking for standard light bulbs for their VAZ, but modernized ones. You need to be aware that retrofitted light bulbs may have some significant defects. Ultimately, this can lead to damage to the instrument panel. In order to reduce the likelihood of such an unpleasant scenario, it is best to give preference to standard lamps for model 2114.

Reason for replacement

It is obvious: the light bulb in the dashboard is changed when it burns out. This can happen either due to a sudden power surge or due to the expiration of the light bulb.

Restoring the backlight and changing the warning lamps

We remove the light bulb that needs to be replaced (the purpose of the light bulbs is in the first photo of the article). To do this, turn the socket counterclockwise 90 degrees, and it will easily come out along with the light bulb.

Replacing a light bulb without disconnecting the power wires on a VAZ 2110

We remove the burnt device from the socket, insert a new one in its place and install the socket with the lamp in place, turning it 90 degrees, but clockwise. After this, we install the terminal on the battery, turn on the ignition and check the operation of the VAZ panel, performing the appropriate manipulations: turn on the hand parking brake, headlights, turn indicators, high beam headlights, etc. If everything is in order, then install the panel and decorative trim in place .

I replaced the lamps, but there is still no backlight - possible reasons

It may happen that the lighting or indication on the VAZ will not be restored even after replacing the lamps. What is the problem and how to find and fix it? Let's look at the main reasons for this situation, and the easiest way to search is in the order in which they are listed:

1. The power and control cable connectors have oxidized.
2. The contact pads of one or a group of lamps have oxidized.
3. The fuse that powers the backlight bulbs has blown.
4. The conductive paths have oxidized and become short-circuited or “burnt out.”
5. The wires supplying certain lamps are short-circuited to the car body.

So, let's start the search. We check the quality of the contacts on the connectors through which the control cables are connected to the VAZ instrument panel. The contacts (they are in plastic blocks) should not be oxidized, and the connectors themselves should fit tightly in their sockets. Additionally, it makes sense to tug with a little force (without fanaticism!) each wire in the bundles: it can simply break inside from vibration and hang on the same insulation.

Checking the quality of contact pads is quite simple visually. It is necessary to remove the non-working lamps and examine these areas in bright light. If they are covered with plaque (usually white or greenish), it needs to be removed, for example, with a rubber band.

We open the fuse panel of the dozens and find the fuse responsible for powering the backlight. It should fit tightly in its socket, and the contacts should not be oxidized. At the same time, we check the serviceability of the fuse - it could have burned out from a power surge or simply been defective.

In order to check the conductive paths on the board, you will have to definitely remove the protective casing from the VAZ panel. We unscrew 10 screws and carefully inspect the tracks. They should not be oxidized or covered with a white coating. Remove plaque with the same eraser. If we find a burnt or rotted track, we restore contact using a soldering iron and a piece of tinned wire.

In this case, as a rule, the fuse burns out or the wire burns out at the point of the short circuit. We replace the fuse with a new one with the same rating. If it burns out again, then the problem is a short circuit: you will have to find it by walking along the harness. This can be quite a difficult task since the harness is located under the dashboard. But nevertheless, it must be performed in order to find and eliminate the short circuit.

Most often, short circuits occur in places where the wire insulation rubs against the body: these are various vias or ribs through which the harness passes.

If the fuse does not blow and the lamp still does not light, then in the same manner it makes sense to look for the burnt out wire.

In order not to waste fuses and not risk the wiring of your VAZ, before installing a new one, it makes sense to ring both terminals of the fuse socket on the car body, having first removed the positive terminal from the battery and turned on the ignition, handbrake, dimensions, headlights, and open the door. In general, everything that indicator lamps are responsible for. If the device shows 0 on at least one of the terminals, then the problem is a short circuit.

If you carefully read this article, you can easily replace the backlight and display lamps on the VAZ 2110 dashboard on your own, and, if necessary, find and fix the problem without the help of a specialist.

How to replace the dashboard bulbs of a VAZ 2114

Burnt out light bulbs on your dashboard are a nuisance. Without them, the driver cannot obtain all the necessary information about the condition of his car. The dashboard on the VAZ 2114 has never been reliable, so the owner of this car will sooner or later have to change one or more light bulbs in the dashboard. We will tell you below what manipulations you will need to do yourself to replace it.

ONE OR MORE LIGHTS ARE NOT BURNING

• VAZ 2114 instrument panel does not light up
• One or more warning lamps are not working.

Let's consider the first variant of malfunctions, when the backlight of the VAZ 2114 instrument panel does not work. You must begin checking the functionality of the backlight by checking the serviceability of the fuse in this circuit. This only applies when all the backlights are off.

The fuse box on this model, as well as on the VAZ 2113 and VAZ 2115, is located in the engine compartment on the driver's side. You need to remove its cover and find the fuse responsible for the backlight, this is F10. It is designed for a current of 7.5 A. If it burns out, replace it with a new one and check the operation of the backlight paws.

Further events can develop as follows: either everything works or it doesn’t. If the instrument panel backlight works, the test ends here, otherwise it is necessary to continue troubleshooting. It may be due to poor contact of the connectors or an open circuit in the power supply of the backlight lamps.

To find and eliminate these problems, you need to remember the basic concepts of the laws of electrical engineering, and have a car LED electrical circuit tester, tester or voltmeter. If there is neither one nor the other, then it is better to seek help from an auto electrician.

The situation is much simpler when one or more, but not all, backlights are off. Burnt out light bulbs are simply replaced with known good ones. From the practice of auto electricians, we can conclude that in most cases a fuse or light bulb . It rarely comes to troubleshooting using instruments, but sometimes it happens. You should be aware that if a replacement (new) fuse blows repeatedly, you should look for a short circuit in the electrical circuit.

In the second case, they do approximately the same, but take into account that there are no fuses for each indicator lamp. They try to replace the light bulb with a new one, if it doesn’t light up again, then the contacts need to be checked. As a rule, this is enough to troubleshoot problems. Otherwise, it is better to ask a specialist for help, because the culprit may be the sensor that works in conjunction with this warning lamp. Dashboard lamps

Instrument panel lighting for VAZ 2109

The backlighting of the VAZ 2109 instrument panel is often not satisfactory for drivers. You can change the color and its brightness yourself, without turning to the salon for help.

To improve the lighting, you need to install LEDs instead of conventional incandescent light bulbs. Their glow is much brighter, in addition, you can choose the color of the backlight at your discretion: blue, green, red or white. These are the main colors, but if you look, you can also find purple LEDs.

Replacement

The inspection of light bulbs or sockets must be carried out carefully and carefully. If the car owner decides to use LEDs to illuminate the buttons, then you need to purchase a light bulb with a regular base. Soldering and a special cartridge are needed if there is a desire to replace the backlight of the instrument cluster. Among the many LEDs, there are also those that have a diffuse or, conversely, point glow.

These effects are achieved using a focusing lens configuration. A more uniform backlight is suitable for illuminating the scale on the instrument panel, and a brighter light is suitable for the button icon. Every driver should take into account the features of design changes when improving his car.
