Turn signals on VAZ do not work: the main causes of malfunctions and methods of elimination on VAZ 2108, 2109, 2114, 2115, 21099 and others

Many owners of a Lada Priora, Grant or Kalina 2 are faced with a malfunction in the direction indicators. Based on past experience, they begin to look for the cause of the failure with the relay or fuse, but they cannot find them. Let's look at how the turn signal circuit diagram works and the procedure for troubleshooting.

Turn signal switching circuit (relay)

Before identifying possible problems in the system that allows the turn signals to function, it is worth getting an idea of ​​all its components. First of all, these are, of course, light bulbs.

Then the relay, which is designed only to operate the direction indicators. Switching device along with a safety valve, as well as a special button for activating an alarm.

As for the function of the relay, it is with its help as a switching element that, during the operation of rotary devices, both the lamp is turned on and off.


The relay is activated when it receives data that a short circuit has occurred in the circuit. The signal comes in this case from one of the pointers. It comes from both the rotary switch device and the button designed to turn on the hazard warning lights.
  • Thus, when the desired section of the circuit is closed, the functionality of certain light bulbs is ensured. The relay device can be located in different places.
  • If on new generation cars it is installed directly in the mounting blocks, then its place in the Lada model is determined behind the dashboard.
  • Fastening is carried out with a special ring. It is screwed to the car body using a nut.
  • It is assigned the function of mass, the reason why it should always be in a cleaned state. In other cases, the mounting point is a vehicle side member.

Prerequisites

The question of why the VAZ 2110 windows sweat is one that many owners of a similar car model periodically ask themselves. And for good reason. The problem is urgent, and it should be solved promptly, since it complicates the process of driving a car, and in general, attempts to wipe the windshield turn off attention from the road traffic, and it won’t be long before you become involved in a road accident. And no one needs this.
Logically, if the glass fogs up, there is only one reason - high humidity in the cabin. But when asked why windows fog up, many begin to generate their own versions. Skeptics believe that you shouldn’t expect much from a brand like VAZ, but those who know how to think logically suggest that perhaps the problems lie in the air filter, while others blame the air supply system for everything.

This material will help replace the windshield if it is damaged:

Someone is right, but someone just needs to be open-minded about the manufacturer of the VAZ 2110.

If the glass fogs up for a long time, and the problem is not found, then other problems will appear, such as corrosion and a specific odor, since excess humidity is an ideal environment for fungus, mold and harmful bacteria. As you can see, efficiency is the main thing here!

Components of the turn signal system on a VAZ

The main element is the lamp, which is intended to function as an indicator element. Signals that come from a relay device and cause it to turn on or off.

The circuit for connecting lamp elements provides for a moment at which, even if one fails, the rest continue to work properly.

  • The control device intended for the driver is located on the steering column. This is a switch device for turn signals. It is possible to independently indicate the direction, including the turn indicator, using a switching device.
  • As for the alarm button in case of a possible or real emergency, it is designed to connect all the lamp devices that are present in the turn signal system. The contact group connects all wiring, not excluding those coming from the ignition switch.

In the circuit, the individual elements are connected by “ground” - electrical wiring together with the body of the car.

Using a safety device, the housing is protected from the possibility of short circuits. The fuse has a fusible insert element. If the temperature increases when the current increases, it breaks the circuit, creating the necessary protection for the circuit from the possibility of fire.

How does the Lada Kalina transmission work?

The first generation cars were equipped with a VAZ-1118 manual gearbox, which, like all front-wheel drive manual transmissions, was a deep modernization of the ancient 2108 gearbox from the Soviet VAZ. Since the appearance of the first G8, which we talked about here (What a G8 looks like), its transmission has not undergone any major alterations, retaining not only the advantages, but also the disadvantages of the original unit. Therefore, the problem of lever vibration is unique to this family, including more modern cable gearboxes, but does not affect robotic and automatic transmissions.

The gear shift mechanism of such a box consists of:

  • lever (handle, handle);
  • backstage;
  • drive traction;
  • gear selection mechanism inside the gearbox.

When the driver moves the lever to engage a particular gear, the latter moves the rocker, which converts these movements into rotational or reciprocating action. The rod connected to the rocker transmits these influences to the gear selection mechanism, which, in accordance with them, moves the gearbox forks, including the clutch of the required speed.

Common reasons why turn signals do not work

Before you begin diagnostics or repair work, you should take care to disconnect the battery terminal with the minus sign.

Most often, malfunctions can be as follows:

  • There is a click in the relay, but the lamp does not light. That is, the turn signal is working properly. The cause may simply be a burnt out light bulb. First, the lamp mount is unscrewed, and then the connector is disconnected to replace it;
  • The lamp flashes quickly, which means that it does not meet the power characteristics. It is worth cleaning the contact connections at the same time. Less commonly, the cause is a faulty relay device that requires replacement;
  • The problem lies in the relay, if the lamps do not blink, but simply light up. The reason is closure. The relay is changed in such cases;
  • If the indicators on only one side are lit, it means that the relay device is changing. However, the cause may be a button, which is checked and, if the contacts burn out, appropriate actions are taken. Quite rarely, the switch device may be the cause.

Topic: Turn signals do not return automatically

Solution if the turn signals do not return to their place automatically https://xn--2111-43da1a8c.xn--p1ai/tunin... mmment-2412

Auto turn signal stops working

If the turn signals do not return to their place automatically, it is the white plastic ring on the steering wheel that holds the cams when rotating.

Complete failure of turn signals - what to do

This mainly happens in the case of:

  • If the electrical equipment is faulty, then the fuse must be checked. The cause of the burnout is sought, eliminated, then the safety device is changed;
  • There is no normal contact between the relay and the body part or mounting block. The device is cleaned or completely replaced if it burns out;

The contacts of the button intended for signaling in emergency situations have fallen out. Its location is checked, along with the settings and status of all contacts. Replacement is carried out if necessary.
