Tags:VAZ 2113/2114/2115 Low beam lamps
According to traffic rules, a car driving on a highway must have low-beam headlights on. This, of course, shortens the life of the lamps, which causes their frequent failure. On the VAZ 2114 or VAZ 2115 models, lighting is used both during the day and at night, which requires vigilance and control over the integrity and quality of the lighting system.
In order to diagnose breakdowns of lighting fixtures in a timely manner, you need to regularly inspect your car.
We inspect the car.
Once you have discovered a breakdown of the high or low beam products, proceed to fix the problem - replacing the element. Contact specialists at a service station or replace it yourself, which will save your money.
The headlight unit on the VAZ 2114 consists of the following components:
- housing (plastic);
- diffuser;
- reflector.
Model 2114 can be equipped with movable and fixed lighting systems with single or double filament bulbs.

How to remove the dashboard
Since the backlight of the VAZ instrument panel burns out relatively often, the designers took care of quick and easy replacement of elements with minimal disassembly of the car itself. For this we need:
- flat screwdriver or knife;
- A fairly long Phillips screwdriver.
First of all, you need to remove the decorative trim on the VAZ instrument panel, which is secured with five screws - I marked them with arrows
Places for attaching the decorative trim Please note that the upper right screw is covered with a decorative plug - it must first be removed with a knife or flat screwdriver
Now we remove the plastic handles placed on the control engines for the VAZ stove and dampers. If the car has a radio or receiver installed, it will also have to be removed. Now we pull out the cover and move it to the side: the length of the wires and cables is quite enough for this.
Shifted decorative trim. Thus, we get access directly to the VAZ instrument panel, which is secured with two screws on the left and right. We unscrew them with a long Phillips screwdriver.
Removing the dashboard
Carefully pull out the tidy, not forgetting that two power and control harnesses are connected to it.

COMMON MALFUNCTIONS
In the mounting block, the cooling fan fuse often blows, as well as the cigarette lighter fuse on the VAZ 2114. The cigarette lighter on this VAZ model often shorts out on its own; you can call this a factory defect. Another reason for burnout is the installation of various devices of higher power in the cigarette lighter socket, for example, a compressor for inflating tires. But before changing the fuse for the VAZ 2114 cigarette lighter, you need to check the condition of the cigarette lighter socket itself. Often a device is inserted into the socket by twisting the plug, and the cigarette lighter block begins to dangle and short out. In this case, the wire going to the cigarette lighter may fray or break, and for this reason the fuse will constantly blow.
The fuse link (20A) of the cooling fan is also loaded with an audio signal, so you can determine a blown fuse F5 by the absence of a car horn. Another fuse link, responsible for the operation of the fan, is installed in the car interior next to the engine ECU under the dashboard. Fuses can blow due to a short circuit in the fan motor - standard fans are not very reliable and often fail.
Contacts often burn out and tracks on the mounting block burn out due to a short circuit in the electrical circuit. When moisture gets on the connector pads, the contacts oxidize. The power supply unit in the VAZ 2114 model is considered a rather weak element and requires repair or replacement. It should be noted that the mounting block 2114 is quite problematic to repair, so if a malfunction occurs in it, you should think about replacing it. The cost of a power supply unit for a front-wheel drive VAZ ranges from 2 thousand to 3 thousand rubles. But it’s better to replace a burnt-out unit than to go through the hassle of restoring it.
Often the central locking on VAZ 2113-2114-2115 cars refuses to work normally, and many drivers cannot determine the cause of the malfunction. The thing is that the central locking fuse is very cleverly installed in the electrical circuit of the car. In the area of the steering column on the wires there are two fuses in a holder, one of them responds to the activation of the central locking (15A). The contact in this clip oxidizes and the central locking system does not work. If an old-style cylindrical fuse-link is installed there, it is better to immediately change it to a new type of flat one.
Keep the mounting block clean, always close the protective cover!
During the operation of a VAZ 2114 car, a situation may arise when the cigarette lighter, windshield washers, fan and other elements of the electrical system stop functioning. In such a situation, the problem should be looked for first not in the devices, but in the fuses of the VAZ-2114 car. Most often, the device stops working because the fuses have blown. This also applies to the cigarette lighter.
Initially, the cigarette lighter was conceived exclusively for smokers, but today this element has a broader purpose. Cigarette lighters are used to charge phones, connect DVRs, Navigators and other devices.
If a small amount of current is required to recharge a phone or tablet, connecting more powerful devices may cause system failure. Such devices include:
compressors, car heaters; vacuum cleaners; autoboilers, etc..

Recommendations from experts
We advise you to study some practical advice from craftsmen who have repeatedly faced the need to repair cigarette lighters on a VAZ 2114. The most difficult problems were complicated by the fact that the owners of the car tried to solve the problem on their own, in violation of many recommendations. But after the situation became even worse after a makeshift intervention, the breakdown had to be repaired by professionals.
- Hand twisting. The worst thing you can think of when replacing faulty wiring is manual twisting. Never do this, because in 80% of car fire situations this is how it starts. Be sure to use a soldering iron to create strong, reliable contacts, or even better, completely replace the old wiring with new one.
- When purchasing a new cigarette lighter for a VAZ 2114, use a tester. Moreover, this must be done on the spot, in the presence of the seller. Alas, the realities of our auto parts market today are such that a huge mass of spare parts are fakes or simply low-quality products. By checking the device immediately before starting repairs, you risk not only getting a fake, but also not returning the faulty cigarette lighter to the seller, since he will say that he never saw you and did not sell you anything. By the way, for this reason it is better to buy spare parts in trusted, certified stores.
- When working on any item that draws power from the battery, including the cigarette lighter, be sure to remove the terminals from the battery. Accidents are not uncommon, but you probably don't want to be one of them.
- Always be careful in your actions, carefully study the operating and repair manual for your car. This is the primary literature that allows you to do most of the repair work yourself, without the help of specialists. And if you are not confident in your abilities, do not take risks, do not experiment, but send your car to trusted, qualified technicians who will repair your car with high quality and with guarantees.

Repair work
To begin with, we advise you to make room for yourself near the car so that you can open the doors without any problems, nothing prevents them from always being in the open position, and you have the opportunity to approach and move away from the car without overcoming multiple obstacles.
If in summer you can simply drive your car outside, then in winter you will have to limit yourself to the available space of a closed garage.
You are ready? Then you can start repairing.
Dedicated place where the cigarette lighter fuse is located on the VAZ 2114
The first situation is that the fuse for the VAZ 2114 cigarette lighter has failed. A popular problem that is not so difficult to solve. The primary task is to determine where the cigarette lighter fuse is located on the VAZ 2114. It's simple. Open the hatch where the entire fuse box is located. The element you are looking for is located to the left of the steering column. This is a 20-amp fuse, which has a special marking - F4. It is difficult to confuse it with others, so finding the fuse is not a problem at all. Take a tester and check its functionality. If it works, we continue to look for the problem. If the fuse fails, you can simply purchase a new one. It’s cheap, so there shouldn’t be any problems finding and purchasing it. Since the old fuse has burned out, you won’t be able to simply take a new one, put it in place and supposedly complete the repair.
It is extremely important to understand exactly why the old fuse blew. Figuring out how to remove the cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2114 is quite simple.
Be sure to check the quality of the contacts in the blocks when leaving the mounting block. It is designated X1. This block has connections from the cigarette lighter located in the passenger compartment. If the reason is in the contacts, tighten them. The most popular problem with a cigarette lighter malfunction is the car owner’s own mistakes during operation. When connecting external devices to the device, there is no need to unscrew the plugs in different directions. Because of this, the plates short out and the cigarette lighter simply stops working. Another fairly common problem is a burnt-out backlight bulb. It is quite simple to replace, but to do this, our device must first be removed from its socket. Pay attention to the moving core of your cigarette lighter. Examine it externally, check the quality and integrity of the spring coils. If there is damage, you will have to replace this element. The problem is that the core is not sold separately; auto parts stores offer only a prefabricated design. The only search option is all kinds of car flea markets, where grandfathers sell spare parts from their old cars. Despite the apparent absurdity, in such places you can often find excellent parts for cars such as the VAZ 2114.
How to replace a light bulb in a rear light?
To replace the light bulb in the rear light of a VAZ 2114, 2113, 2115 passenger car, you must perform the following steps:
- To access the rear light, you need to remove the trim. To do this, first unscrew the top screw with a Phillips screwdriver.
- Then unscrew the bottom screw
- After this, unscrew 2 more screws and remove the trim panel
- After this, remove the terminal connector
- Then, pressing the latch, remove the electrical board with the rear light bulbs
- After this, pressing the lamp towards its socket and turning it counterclockwise, remove the desired lamp
Do-it-yourself headlight adjustment technology
The adjustment must be carried out on a flat surface without tilting. The test screen can be installed at a distance of 5-6 meters. If you don't have a screen, you can use a flat brick wall, a garage door, or a large sheet of plywood. Headlight glasses must be clean, without cracks or chips.
Also pay attention to the condition of the reflectors
The design of optical devices has two adjustment screws, one of which directs the light beam in a vertical position, and the other in a horizontal position. With their help, we make adjustments as indicated in the diagram.
The headlight beam should be directed by the adjusting screw to point E
For convenience, we draw vertical lines A, O and B on the wall with chalk. They will serve as the necessary guidelines when adjusting the optics. We also draw horizontal lines 1 and 2. The distance between them should be 65 centimeters.
Next, we go into the interior and set the headlight hydrocorrector control to position 0. This is necessary to eliminate the influence of the device on the luminous flux during adjustment. The regulator is located under the dashboard, to the right of the steering wheel.
The procedure is as follows:
- We cover one headlight with dense material that does not transmit light.
- We turn on the near one.
- Open the hood and find the regulators on the back side of the headlight (in the figure below, numbered 1 and 2). One of them responds to the vertical movement of the light beam, and the second to the horizontal movement.
- Using adjusting screws 1 and 2, we direct the beam of light to point E. We adjust the indicator to the desired value. By turning the screws counterclockwise or clockwise, we position the beam of light at the desired point
- We repeat the procedure, turning on the high beams.
- We carry out a similar adjustment for the other headlight.
Adjusting the headlights does not take much time, so in poor lighting, do not delay this procedure. When working, you should take the advice of experts. In this case, you can adjust the light beam as accurately as possible.

Types of lighting fixtures
There are several types of light sources for the VAZ 2114:
- xenon Available in models with a glass bulb containing gas (xenon). They provide higher brightness compared to incandescent light bulbs, which are currently losing popularity. In the absence of lenses to adjust the flow of light, oncoming drivers may be dazzled;
Xenon bulb
- incandescent lamps . They are relatively dull, wear out quickly, but are inexpensive;
Incandescent lamps for auto optics
- halogen _ They are presented in a wide range - from very bright models to universal (all-weather). The latter have a coating on the inner wall of the bulb that provides a yellowish tint to the light stream for better visibility during bad weather conditions (fog, snowfall). For example, a conventional lighting system will reflect falling raindrops, which will blind the driver. And light of a yellowish tint is characterized by less reflectivity, and therefore does not irritate the driver’s eyes while driving in a VAZ. Also, all-weather models will allow the VAZ 2114 to be more visible on the road surface during bad weather, which will reduce the risk of an accident.
Halogen bulb for car
There are 2 most popular manufacturers of all-weather halogen lighting systems:
- Kirzhach . The domestic manufacturer produces long and narrow models without a top wall and with a partition inside;
- Bosch. It has a wide reflector with walls on all sides.
So that motorists can easily choose which high beam bulb to install in their VAZ, experts in the field of automotive lighting, guided by the results of numerous tests, have compiled a list of some of the most popular H4 type models. They are suitable for use with the low beam or high beam system on the 2114.

The main reasons for the lack of lighting in the cabin
Inside the VAZ-2115, the manufacturer often installs one lamp located directly on the ceiling and individual lamps. It is attached using fasteners and is activated when the doors are opened. Drivers have been familiar with this principle of operation of a lighting device since the “classic” times. The lamp can also be turned on and off manually using a switch located on its body.
The lampshade and other lighting fixtures are part of the electrical system, therefore, if any malfunctions occur with the light, you should start looking for the problem from the electrical circuit diagram. Most drivers prefer to have their car electrically repaired, but such a nuisance can be fixed on your own. To do this, you need to arm yourself with a minimum set of tools and the circuit itself.
The main reasons for the lack of lighting inside the car are:
- Burnt out light bulbs;
- Breakage inside the lampshade;
- Relay or fuse problem;
- Breakdowns in the wiring.
When the reason why the lighting fixtures have stopped functioning properly has been determined, you can safely move on to fixing the problem yourself. As a rule, such work does not cause any particular difficulties for novice drivers. All you need is basic knowledge of how automotive electrical equipment works.

Process Features
To ensure that the process of dismantling and replacing the lighting component is successful, make sure that there is no condensation in the reflector unit. If you still find moisture in the block, clean the drainage channel, which you can find near the mounting of the turn signal light (on the left or right of the car).
Also, do not create an emergency situation on the road by leaving your car with failed headlight components on the side of the road.
We can give some more advice to motorists:
- take into account the interval from the moment the vehicle's lighting system is turned off. Do not start work immediately after turning off the lighting system, as this may cause burns;
- Whatever lamp you replace (xenon or halogen), wear protective gloves;
- Do not replace lighting elements with overly powerful ones, as they can lead to failure of the lighting device.
