What to do if the window regulator on a VAZ 2115 does not work

On VAZ-2115 passenger cars, window lifters operate according to a simplified electrical circuit, without installing an electrical package controller. Therefore, if desired, the driver himself can find any malfunctions that arise that lead to the failure of all or only one window lifter at once.

When, when you press the buttons on the control panel for turning on the power windows, none of them work, then you will have to remove the cover of the mounting block and check the condition of fuse F16 (15A), which turns on the power window relay K5. And when the contacts of relay K5 are closed, voltage is supplied from the fuse terminal F6 (30A) to the terminals of the gearmotor.

We check the fuses by visual inspection, and you can verify the serviceability or malfunction of the K5 relay as follows. Remove this relay from the mounting block, and place a jumper in its block between terminals 30 and 87. If, when you press the power button on one of the power windows, it starts to work, then relay K5 will have to be replaced. And if none of the power windows turn on, then you will need to check the voltage at terminals 3 and 6 of connector X1 of the mounting block. The voltage to these terminals must come from terminals 15 and 30 of the ignition switch.

If only one window lifter does not work, then the fault will have to be found either in its power button or in the electric motor. To make sure what condition the gearmotor is in, you need to apply voltage directly to its terminals, bypassing its power button. But to do this you will have to remove the door trim. Just remember that changing the polarity of the voltage supply will change the direction of rotation of its armature, which will lead to either raising or lowering the glass. If the gear motor does not work, it will have to be replaced.

If the gearmotor reacts directly to the supply of voltage to its terminals, it means that it is “alive and well”, and you will have to check its power button, which may not work due to lack of contact on the ground wire or there is no voltage when the ignition is on ( 12 volts) at terminal No. 2 of its block. Problems with the ground wire occur due to corrosion of the contacts, and the lack of voltage at the second terminal of the block is due to wire breakage, which most often occurs at the point where they are constantly bent when opening and closing doors.

RESULTS

If the window regulator does not work, start by finding the cause of the breakdown, and then proceed to fix the problem. Most often, the malfunction can be fixed independently, without the involvement of specialists. This also applies to situations where it is necessary to remove the window regulator for repair or replacement.

During the operation of the car, the window lift mechanism often breaks down. This is mainly due to high production. Initially it fails on the driver's side, since this system is most often used on this door. But if one component breaks down, the power windows on each door of the car may fail. What to do in this case? Let's take a closer look at how to solve the problem when the power windows of a VAZ 2114 do not work.

Broken power window button

Why does the VAZ-2114 window lifter not work? A very common reason for this is that its buttons fail. If the mechanism begins to work at a slow speed after a certain time, the plates inside it may have oxidized. This caused a breakdown in contact: it appears intermittently or disappears completely.

It makes sense to check the version with a broken button, replacing it with a working one. Just swap them. The part is dismantled using a knife or screwdriver. Use the tip to pry it from below and remove it from the chip.

If after installation it turns out that the non-working window regulator began to move the glass, and the working one began to move, on the contrary, then it is worth purchasing a new part and replacing it. If the problem is not with the button, then you need to continue searching for the causes of the breakdown.

One of the reasons for the breakdown of the glass door lift mechanism may be that the relay does not work or the fuse has blown.

1. Find the safety block under the hood of the car.
2. According to the diagram, determine the location of the relay itself and the fuse, which make up the links of the electric glass lifting mechanism (ESM) chain.
3. The legs of the elements must be clean, with a pronounced metallic sheen.
4. If traces of oxidation, dirt deposits, etc. are found, you need to clean them off. Mechanically or using special means, for example, WD-40.
5. You can check the relay for functionality in the same way as a button. The working element should be removed from another unit and mounted into the ESP system.
6. If newly installed parts fail again within a short period of time, then the problem is in the wiring itself.

A breakdown may occur with the lift motor. It either burns out completely, or the worm mechanism inside it fails. In the latter case, the device makes a characteristic sound when the button is pressed, but the glass remains motionless.

The reason for the breakdown of the ESP may be that it has a common power source and the external lighting. And if the fuse for the foglights is blown out, the window regulator will not work.

Fuse

When problems appear with the operation of the mechanism, the first thing to check is the condition of fuses F5 and F16. F5 is the fifth from the top on the left, and F16 is the bottom on the right. They are responsible for the operation of the window lift mechanism on the car. Fuse F1 may also affect the operation of the power windows.

Remember, the element cannot burn out just like that; this usually happens when the wire is short-circuited to body ground. If during replacement the new protective element also burns out, you need to inspect the entire system wiring diagram.

What to do if the window regulator on a VAZ-2110 stops working

Electric windows are relatively recently installed on domestic cars. These mechanisms are fully consistent with current trends in the industry, but are not highly reliable. Very often we hear complaints that the right window regulator of the VAZ-2110 does not work, the device on the driver’s side does not respond well to commands, or both devices turn off at the same time. How to find the cause of the breakdown and fix it without contacting a car service? We will try to find answers to this question in this article.

A little theory

Electric windows have long been used by car enthusiasts; they have significantly increased the level of comfort in the car. Naturally, like everything else, this innovation was put into practice by foreign manufacturers. The domestic auto industry picked up this idea much later.

Speaking abstractly, in terms of build quality, foreign manufacturers are head and shoulders above the Russian auto industry (however, there are significant differences in prices, service and components).

What does it mean? Everything is very simple

, a connoisseur of Russian cars will have to constantly struggle with minor (and not always minor) problems that arise, such as broken window regulators.

If your car was equipped with power windows with mechanical handles, then the cause of the breakdown is easy to find. Most likely, someone, driver or passenger, exerted extra effort and the mechanism gave way. In this case, it is necessary to disassemble the car door from the inside; I remove all the trim.

If the electric lift does not work, then everything is also quite simple. The door on which a similar problem occurred should be disassembled in a similar way. The mechanism of electric window lifts consists of a non-separable motor, which can simply burn out and require replacement. There is also a cable with a bar coming from it. Before replacing, of course, it is necessary to check whether an electrical signal is received by the motor.

Perhaps the reason lies not in the mechanism itself

, but let’s say, in a faulty button, or in other electrical equipment. It is necessary to check the fuses that are located under the steering wheel on the right (under the cover, read more in the car user manual).

Fuse F5 is usually responsible for power windows. If the fuse is intact, then use a multimeter to measure the voltage at the motor terminals. To do this, you can use a regular 12V light bulb.

No voltage?

It is necessary to carefully check the wiring coming from the motor, inspect the relay and control unit. Very often, auto mechanics have to see problems with the button that controls the window regulator. Don't fix it, if it's the problem, just replace it.

It's not expensive and won't cause headaches in the future. If there is voltage on the motor, but it does not work, most likely the drive brush is stuck. You can solve this problem by pressing the button and turning the motor axis. If the cable breaks, it needs to be completely replaced.

If the fault cannot be identified, we move on to the mechanism relay. In the diagram it is marked with a special icon and is designated K5. Located at the bottom left. To check the functionality of the relay, it is better to replace it with a known working one and see if the mechanism functions.

The relay is responsible for closing the contacts when the ignition switch is turned on, so that there is no additional battery consumption when the car is parked. But over time, it may stop working, which is why even with the ignition on, voltage will not be supplied to the system.

Major breakdowns of power windows

Depending on the configuration of the car, it can be equipped with both mechanical (manual) and electric windows. It is from which of these options is installed on your car that you should begin searching for the corresponding faults.

Thus, for manually operated window regulators the following types of damage are most typical:

• failure of rods (bending of rods when excessive force is applied);
• jamming of traction joints;
• spontaneous unwinding and loss of fasteners.

It is quite simple to fix all these malfunctions with your own hands; you just need to correctly dismantle the window regulator and carry out repairs (we will tell you how to remove the device mechanism below).

In turn, if the power windows on a VAZ 2114 do not work, then the possible reasons for this may be:

• fuse blown (at the same time playing the role of a fog light fuse);
• failure of relay K5;
• break in the power supply circuit of the lifts;
• drive motor burnout.

In this case, you should start your search by checking the fuses designated F5 and F16 (this can be done by replacing them with new ones or by regular “diagnosis”). If the fuses are working, then you should continue to look for the problem; if not, replace them with others designed for the same amperage.

The next thing to check is relay K5 in the power window circuit. To test it, you need to replace it with a known working (new) relay and check the functionality of the device. If a malfunction is detected, the old relay must be replaced.

An indirect, but at the same time, objective way to test virtually any relay is to test it by ear. So, when the power circuit is turned on, the working relay should emit a characteristic click, which indicates its serviceability. If, after applying current, no sound is heard, then the relay has soured and does not work.

The next stage of the test will be to “test” the wires in the power window circuit using a multimeter. If a break is detected, it will be necessary to replace the burnt wire with a new one with the same (or slightly larger) cross-section.

If the wiring is in order, then all that remains is to check the functionality of the electric drive itself. The easiest way to do this is to connect the lift motor to the network “directly”. A failed electric window motor cannot be repaired and must be replaced with a similar one.

If after such a thorough check it is still not possible to find a fault, then you should check the mechanical parts of the electric lift, namely, inspect the condition of its gears. Most often, it is their breakage or chipping/abrasion of individual teeth that causes the malfunction. The solution in this case will be to replace the gears themselves, which can be purchased at almost any auto store.

Button

Another reason why the power windows on a VAZ 2114 do not work may be the control button. Inside it there is contact between the plates, the strength of which deteriorates over time. As a result of this, it completely disappears, and the button stops responding to pressing.

All buttons must be in good condition, as they are connected in series. If one fails, you won't be able to diagnose the problem by removing it from one door and putting it on another. In this case, you will have to purchase a new button and switch them around, identifying which one has stopped working.

The price is within 200 rubles, so carrying out such diagnostics is not that expensive.

Video “Replacing a power window”

In this video, a car mechanic explains how to replace the electrical mechanism on popular VAZ models (author - In Sandro's garage).

If a problem with the window regulator on a VAZ-2114 occurs while the car is moving, and the driver himself cannot correct the situation on the spot, you need to call a tow truck. The movement of a car when the window has stopped going up or down due to a breakdown, from the point of view of traffic regulations, threatens the safety of passengers and the driver himself. Why does the VAZ-2114 window lifter not work? There are many reasons: lowering is difficult because the fuse has blown, there is a malfunction in the door, etc. This article contains information about the types of failures of window regulators on the VAZ-2114, about methods for adjusting and dismantling the mechanism.

The most common reasons why the VAZ-2114 window regulator does not work

There is no point in arguing that power windows significantly increase the operating comfort of a car. But most drivers also know that they cause a lot of trouble. By the way, when it comes to the breakdown of the mechanism, we must not forget that the problem may not be in it, but in the glass itself. Over time, the holder or seals wear out, which often leads to a banal misalignment, which significantly impedes the freedom of movement of the glass.

The design of the window lifting mechanism is quite simple, but not reliable. And the fact that the safety block is placed in a place where moisture and dirt can easily get in is also not a plus. As you know, the slightest wear of the insulation can lead to a short circuit and breakdown of the entire system.

The most common reasons why a window regulator fails are the following:

1. Damage to the components of the control unit.
2. The contacts have oxidized and the circuit has opened.
3. Disconnecting the power supply.
4. The control button has stopped performing its functions.

Yes, most often car enthusiasts are faced with the fact that this component of the window regulator fails.

Dismantling the old unit

If the electrical elements have been more or less decided, then the mechanical part of the problem is much more complicated. The described VAZ models have non-separable ESP structures. They are characterized as the most reliable, but in case of breakdown they require a complete replacement from the owner.

How the structure is dismantled.

1. Remove the handle and rod.
2. Lowering the glass, remove the holder.
3. The glass is raised to the maximum and secured with tape.
4. Unscrew all the nuts holding the mechanism to the door.
5. Dismantling is complete and the device can be completely removed for diagnostics.

Next, you will decide whether to repair or replace with a new device.

Such a detail as the VAZ 2114 window regulator is the key to not only a comfortable, but also a safe trip in any weather. If it breaks down in rain or snow, the driver must stop driving on the road and carry out repair work or call a tow truck. Today we will talk about why window regulators break and how to completely replace them if necessary.

Window regulator VAZ 2114

Missing mass

Weight can also be the cause of a power window not working. Its connection location is not the best; it is located at the driver’s feet on the left near the door. Oxidation often occurs there, causing contact to be lost and the mechanism to stop working.

One contact receives both the mass of the central locking and the window regulator. Therefore, the problem can be diagnosed by the failure of the security system, but it is better to visually evaluate the contact for the formation of oxidation and rust.

If you find that the mass is not in good condition, you should clean the contact area and the terminals themselves with sandpaper, then assemble them and treat them with a special compound that will prevent the appearance of various impurities and protect the metal.

Removal instructions

If you don’t know how to remove the window lifter handle, don’t despair, it’s easy to do. Before removing the mechanism, you need to remove the trim from the door. Then be sure to disconnect the wire block and the power window connector. Then remove the three nuts that secure the mechanism to the door. Next are two bolts that secure the lift and the glass itself.

Then, lift the glass to the very top and fix it, you can use a screwdriver or ask someone to hold it. But it’s better to pull it out, because otherwise there is a risk that the glass may break.

To completely remove the mechanism, you need to additionally remove the door handle. To do this, unscrew its two screws and push the handle inside the door. Then, you will need to disconnect the rubber holder that holds the rod on the handle. Once you're done with this, you can pull out the handle, and then the window regulator itself through the same hole. Now you know how to remove the window handle and the entire mechanism.

Tracks or contacts in the mounting block

Another reason may be a broken contact of the mechanism relay in the mounting block.

Considering the circuit of the mounting block, we can conclude that a constant plus comes to pin 30 through a fuse, and when we turn on the ignition, we apply another plus to pin 85. As a result of turning on the ignition, an electromagnetic field appears, which closes pins 30 and 87, which provides power to window lift buttons.

This means that if the operation of the plus on the ignition switch is disrupted, the contacts stop closing, even if the relay is in working condition. You can check this by closing contacts 30 and 87 directly, then the plus will come without the ignition switch and if the problem is in it, then the power windows will work.

The video demonstrates another solution to this problem:

But there may also be the opposite situation, that we do not have a constant positive supply to pin 30, and when we turn the ignition key, the contacts close, but nothing happens. In this case, it is best to ring the contact with a tester and find out whether there is constant voltage. For testing, you can connect the plus directly to pin 87, but this is not safe, since the wire will go outside the fuse.

Replacement

The need to replace or repair window regulators may arise for two main reasons. Namely:

• The old gears of the lifting mechanism are worn out, due to which the device ceases to perform its functions;
• The cable broke, which caused the entire system to fail.

Disassembled structure

To solve the problems that arise, you will need to go through three or four steps:

• Preparatory activities;
• Dismantling;
• Installation;
• Repair.

If you plan to simply replace the mechanisms with new ones, then you can skip the repair stage.

Although versions with mechanical and electric windows are available for the VAZ 2110, the nuances of the replacement procedure will be identical. Therefore, the instructions below are relevant for both cases.

Repair

To troubleshoot problems with the wipers on your VAZ 2109, it is not at all necessary to contact a service station. The work can be done with your own hands, saving a decent amount of money.

Repair consists of performing several operations:

• Disassembling the unit;
• Troubleshooting;
• Eliminating the causes of purifier failures;
• Reassembly.

Dismantling

The first step is to learn how to remove windshield wipers. This will give you access to the device and all its components.

It is enough to follow the specified sequence of actions and first familiarize yourself with the wiper diagram in order to do everything correctly.

Scheme

1. First, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to de-energize the car.
2. Remove the brush arms by moving them to a vertical position and unscrewing the fastening nuts. Unscrew the nuts carefully so as not to push the lever out. Otherwise, under the action of the spring, it will fly into the glass and break it.
3. By unscrewing the fasteners, the levers can be removed. It is not always possible to do this manually, so arm yourself with pliers. Be careful not to damage the threaded area. To avoid this, screw the nut back onto the splines, but not completely.
4. Remove the protective caps made of plastic from the slots on each side.
5. Unscrew the upper mounting nuts with the bracket and remove them. Under them there are rubber washers, which are also dismantled.
6. Lift the hood and disconnect the wiring harness that powers the wiper motor.

Repair of power windows on VAZ 2110

Today, the domestic “ten” continues to confidently remain in a leading position among the most popular cars in the country. They have already stopped producing them, but this does not stop many people from driving a VAZ 2110.

The car is far from ideal, but it has a lot of positive qualities. One of them is the simplicity of the design, which allows you to perform a whole range of repair work with your own hands.

An example of a successful design that combines good reliability and the possibility of self-repair is window regulators.

Window lifters are devices that serve to move glass on windows and hold it in a given position. Today, the VAZ 2110 is available with quite a variety of window lifts, which differ not only in manufacturer, but also in purpose.

If we take into account the purpose, then devices can be divided into four types:

• For front doors;
• For rear doors;
• For left doors;
• For the right.

It is noteworthy that their design may be different, but they have quite a lot of common nuances.

Any of the listed window regulators includes several main components.

Component

Functions

They are installed on the inside of the door frame. Their function is to hold the glass sheet in a given position

They are mounted inside the door frame in a static position. Act as guides for moving glass up and down

Seal and damper

Products made of soft rubber. They ensure that glass movements are limited downwards and upwards.

The design of any window regulator includes two main components - the drive and the lifting mechanism.

Drives

As in many other cars, in the case of the VAZ 2110 there are two types of drives.

1. Electric. A rather complex set of elements, which consists of a drive drum or gear, as well as an electric motor with a worm gear built into it. This design allows you to raise and lower the glass at the touch of a button.
2. Mechanical. The most simplified design, which includes several parts, gears and handles. To raise the glass in a VAZ 2110 using a power window lifter, you need to turn the handle clockwise. The drive roller takes on the required physical effort, so lifting is not difficult.

Lifting mechanisms

As for lifting mechanisms, there are several of them. For the VAZ 2110, various options are available.

Rack and pinion mechanisms

Mechanism type

Peculiarities

Rack and pinion lift mechanism

It was installed on the VAZ 2107, then switched to the VAZ 2110. The advantages of such a mechanism are its simple repair and operation. But the design is not particularly reliable; for effective operation, the rack and pinion device must be lubricated. Design flaws forced the developers to abandon it

A more advanced system that eliminates the possibility of glass distortions. But the reliability is not the highest. The most attractive option for a cable mechanism is a structure made of galvanized metal. Their cost is 400 rubles. It is also worth paying attention to Metprom devices. Their current price is 300 rubles. Standard VAZ cable lifts will cost 250 rubles

Lifting lever mechanism

These are the most advanced mechanisms available for the VAZ 2110. Their operation is based on the use of hinges. The design ensures silent operation. However, the mechanism is only available on electric windows

Electric glass lift

Rack and cable mechanisms are offered complete with electric and mechanical drives, while lever mechanisms are available only with an electric motor.

Window lift motor

The last culprit regarding the electrical part will be the mechanism itself. It is located under the trim inside the door. If the passenger power window on a VAZ 2114 or only the driver’s one does not rise, then suspicions fall primarily on the motor.

This occurs due to wear and tear inside the mechanism. It is not dismountable, so it is impossible to carry out repairs and only replacing the entire system will help. Diagnostics are carried out without removal. It is enough to take the plus and minus from the battery and connect it directly to the motor. The mechanism works by changing the polarity, that is, by connecting the wires to the contacts, the window will move down, and if you swap the wires, the glass will rise.

If work is restored, then the problem has not been identified. And the last thing to check is the wiring. Perhaps the wires broke in the harness that goes into the door, or they frayed in some other place. In this case, you need to ring all the wiring in the power window circuit at the time of the breaks. If you find a problem, the wire must be replaced with the same or larger cross-section.

Analyzing the reasons why the power windows on the VAZ 2114 do not work, we can conclude that the entire mechanism is built on an electrical system. If one element stops working correctly, it is followed by a chain of complete shutdown of the mechanism, and in order to find the reason, you have to inspect absolutely everything.

Diagnosis can only be made based on the following signs: one or both window regulators are not working. Because of this, the repair process takes quite a long time. In the article, we analyzed all the weak points where you should look first, which will help you make troubleshooting easier.

How to remove the window regulator assembly on a VAZ 2114 and 2115

The first step is to get to the fastenings of the entire mechanism, and to do this, we remove the front door trim. When we have dealt with this, unscrew the two bolts securing the door glass to the trapezoid bar.

They are tightened with quite a considerable torque, although they have a small thread diameter, so it is most convenient to do this with a head.

Now it’s worth looking at the remaining fastenings of the mechanism to the door. The photo below clearly shows all the window lift nuts.

Then you can unscrew them all one by one. First there are three that secure the motor:

Then one at the top in close proximity to the glass:

And one almost at the very bottom:

When all the fasteners are loosened, you need to disconnect the power plug from the window lift motor. After which you can carefully remove the entire trapezoid from the studs and remove the mechanism through the largest technological hole in the door.

And the final result will look something like this.

Now you can buy a new window regulator, the price of which is about 1000 rubles assembled, and replace it. The installation is performed in the reverse order, and no difficulties arise during this work.

If the fault was in the motor itself, which happens most often, then the electric motor can be replaced. It costs about 600 rubles, and is just as easy to change.

Don’t know how to replace the window regulator of a VAZ 2114? Our article describes what types of these devices exist, the main causes of breakdowns and much more. The recommendations are suitable for repairing almost any car belonging to the Lada Samara family, if the windows do not work on it.

The power window raises but does not lower the window

Greetings to all. Help me figure out the problem. The power window raises the window all the way, but does not lower it. I transferred the buttons from a known working lift - everything was the same. I disassembled the door, current flows from the button to the electric motor, and if you press the button up, then the plus comes from one wire, if you press the button down, then the plus comes from the other wire, only 2 wires to the electric motor.

Only a small part remains, in the photo with a blue sticker, it says AR00611, 15M6K. Who can tell me if she is responsible in the engine for making it spin in different directions? If not, where should I dig and what should I check?

Often it's just a matter of the motor. tap a little with a hammer and everything becomes humming, but not for long. the brain brushes are most likely floating. and “+” is changed by the button itself

The motor turns freely (in one direction), everything is lubricated, the brushes are not burnt, and besides, why does it only turn as it should in one direction, and absolutely zero in the other? - obviously not in brushes.

they change places, but in general it is immediately checked directly with the battery: + and - you change places and see how it works

So, how can I measure the minus?)) A plug with two wires, an up button on the left (for example, a plus), a down button on the right, a plus. There should be a minus on the opposite ones at this time, right?

I change places, for example, but it spins only in one direction, is this small part to blame (in the photo with a blue sticker), or does the motor simply spin in different directions due to a change in polarity?

Measure the voltage at the connector removed from the motor. You can just plug in a light bulb.

This is a spark arresting capacitor, it either works or it doesn't. regardless of polarity.

This means that this capacitor protects the brushes from burning, and that’s not the problem. Then fantastic) The mechanics cannot be at fault, I completely disconnected the motor, the gear rotates smoothly freely, but only in one direction.

what car? I think it’s a button or buttons, if there are duplicates

as options, put this engine in place of the working one or take a working button and connect it to this engine

why? + and - with the battery directly and check. then change the polarity and check again

Accent. I took a working button and connected it, everything was the same) I’ll go for a walk and torment the lift motor)

feed directly + and - from the battery to the motor, see how it goes down, maybe it’s hitting the borhotka that’s inside the slide, maybe there’s a bad contact somewhere

Lada 2115 Green Turtles › Logbook › Installation of four electric windows

Today, perhaps, you won’t surprise anyone with electric windows - even VAZ installs front ESPs on the Samara-2, and all four on the “tenth” family. True, recently only two front ones have been installed on dozens, but the wiring harness has not changed, so the happy owners of rear power windows with a muscular drive can take advantage of the fruits of civilization by simply replacing the two-button block of buttons with a four-button one and installing the mechanisms.

On my previous car, also 21099, I installed all 4 electric windows, removed the rear mechanisms before selling, since I already knew clearly that I would take the 15. I also purchased a Beta 10/4 intelligent power window controller for 4 windows. It has the following features:

1) raising and lowering windows in 1 touch; 2) memorizing the position of the windows, if less than 2 hours have passed since arming, when the ignition is turned on, the windows will return to their previous position; 3) “rollback” function - when meeting an obstacle, the glass will stop and go down 5 cm.

Components of the window lift system

What should I do if the right one does not work or both electronic devices fail? The window regulators may break, leaving them unable to lower or raise the windows. It is possible that the electronic device is jamming or sticking, but before you repair and disassemble the system yourself, you need to understand its structure. The unit itself works by controlling electric motors installed in the vehicle doors and designed to raise and lower the windows.

The system itself includes the following components:

• electric motors;
• switches located in the doors;
• wiring;
• glass

Removing window regulators

Having talked about malfunctions and the principles for eliminating them, we will now figure out how to remove the window regulator of a VAZ 2114 (after all, without dismantling it, it will simply not be possible to inspect and repair the mechanism).

Despite the fact that manual and electrified lifts have completely different designs, they are installed according to the same principle inside the door technological cavity of the car.

Their removal should be carried out as follows:

1. Remove the door trim.
2. Raise or vice versa - lower the glass so that the fastening bolts of the glass frame appear in the upper hole of the door.
3. Unscrew the two mounting bolts securing the glass in the frame.
4. Lift the glass as high as possible with your hands and secure it with plastic or wooden wedges.
5. Lower the lift slider to its lowest position.
6. Unscrew the 4 nuts securing the guide (for the rear door, unscrew the 2 nuts securing the guide).
7. Unscrew the 3 nuts securing the window lift mechanism (for the rear door, also unscrew the 3 nuts holding the window lift).
8. Remove the window regulator through the technological opening in the door.

Installing a new device is done in exactly the same way, but in reverse order.

If the VAZ 2114 electric window regulator is being replaced, then before starting it you should disconnect the terminals from the battery so as not to cause a short circuit.

Also, to extend the life of lifts (both electric and manual), when replacing or repairing them, all joints and moving elements should be lubricated with CV joint grease or similar.

Principle of operation

Why do the power windows not work or only the right window does not go up? To understand exactly why the malfunction occurred, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the operating principle of the unit. Typically, such a system has a trapezoidal design, which allows the windows to be raised and lowered by pressing switches. The buttons themselves can be located in all car door cards or located only in the driver’s door. It is also worth noting that an electric motor is mounted in each door, which operates in two directions.

In addition, each system is equipped with a special relay, the purpose of which is to control the voltage supplied to the electric motors of the structure. Depending on the vehicle, some car models may be equipped with automatic switches that are installed separately for each electric motor. The use of such structural elements makes it possible to ensure normal operation of the entire system if the window regulator is poor on only one door.

Device classification

Window lifters on the VAZ-2114 are standard for other models of the Samara series. They are classified by drive type into:

The latter are divided depending on the method of transmission of the motor impulse:

• lever;
• rack and pinion;
• cable

By type of construction:

Each model has its own advantages, disadvantages and price. Standard configurations of window lifting mechanisms on the VAZ-2114 consist of two types. Electric drive mechanisms are installed in front, while the rear doors are equipped with mechanical devices.

Causes of malfunction

So, we gradually approached the issue of malfunctions. What if the window regulator cannot go down or up? Before you remove the window regulator, disassemble and repair it in your car, let's look at the main reasons. If the rear or front windows do not work, the reason may be either electrical or mechanical.

Electrical faults

First of all, if the window regulator has stopped working, it is necessary to diagnose the safety element responsible for the functionality of the system. If you realize that the power window is not working due to a fuse, then you just need to replace it. But if the fuse is working, then you will need to measure the voltage at the electric motor terminals. This task can be accomplished using a regular 12-volt lamp or using a tester.

If you find that the driver's window or any other door does not work due to voltage, then you need to further check:

• wiring;
• relay;
• system control unit.

Sometimes a car owner thinks that the window regulator is broken if, after opening the window, it automatically begins to close until the key is turned in the ignition. As a rule, in this case the problem lies in the contacts, which should be cleaned. Much less often, but it still happens that repair of electric windows includes replacing or repairing a button.

Mechanical defects of the mechanism

1. Purchase a window regulator repair kit and repair the device, after which you can fully use the system.
2. Try to grab the glass on both sides with your hands and pull it up. If the glass falls after being lifted, you will have to disassemble the door and place a support of the appropriate size under it.
3. If you can’t lift the glass with your hands, you can take a fishing hook on a fishing line and lower it into the door card. You need to try to pry the glass and lift it.

How to replace the door window lifter on a VAZ 2113-VAZ 2115?

Note! The window lifter on both the rear door and the front door is replaced almost identically, although there are small nuances, but you don’t even have to pay attention to this, and therefore if you learn how to replace the window lifter at the front, then you can also replace it on the back door and vice versa, but there is just one But! The window lifter can be replaced both with the glass removed from the door and with the glass installed (How you do it is up to you, if you don’t want to remove the glass, then in this case you can simply fix it with a screwdriver, but if suddenly the door moves a lot, then the glass may fall and break, but this won’t happen to you with the glass removed), if you still want to remove it, then in this case read the article entitled: “Replacing glass on a VAZ”, if you don’t want to remove the glass and are sure that it will not fall, then start reading the article; in it we just described the process of replacing a window lifter with the glass installed on the car door!

Removal: 1) Let's start with the front doors, but even if you replace the power windows only on the rear doors (And this is point 2), then still study point 1, because they are interconnected and from all these points you will understand more than you read only one of them, in general, before replacing, it doesn’t matter which door, but you will need to remove the trim from it, because the mechanism is located inside the door and without removing the trim you simply won’t get to it (For information on how to remove the trim, read the article: “Replacing the front door on a car” points 1-8), after the trim is removed, disconnect the wire block and the connector that go to the window regulator (see photo 1), then remove all the nuts (there are only three) that secure it mechanism to the door (see photo 2) and then unscrew the two bolts securing the window lifter slider to the glass frame itself (see photo 3), when the bolts are unscrewed, lift the glass to the very top if you have not removed it and fix it in this position (You can fix it using a screwdriver, see photo 4, or you can ask an assistant to hold the glass in the upper position).

Note! So that the window lifter mechanism can be removed from the door and thereby completely removed, unscrew the two screws that secure the door opening handle to the car (see photo 1), after unscrewing the screws, remove the handle by pushing it into the inside of the door and through remove the cutout in the door (see photo 2), then using thin pliers or pliers or simply by hand, disconnect the rubber holder that holds the rod on the handles (see photo 3) and after that disconnect the rod from the handle and you you can completely remove it from the car in this way (see photo 4) and therefore, when the handle is removed, remove the window lift mechanism itself through the same cutout in the car door!

Hi all! Dear friends, you are all aware of what “jambs” and shortcomings each of us “happy” owners of domestic VAZ cars have to eliminate. Today’s article is another life-saving solution for those who are faced with the problem of poorly functioning beet lifters.

Electric windows (ESP) have been installed on foreign cars for decades, so, as a rule, there are no problems with them, which cannot be said about VAZs. On “our” swallows, such a miracle has been occurring for about 10 years, and as practice shows, the good old “meat grinders” in the form of a simple mechanical handle worked much more reliably. Get to the point! A defect was noticed on many models from 2109 to 2115, where, as a rule, the front right glass does not rise well. Moreover, the window lifters slowly raise somewhere from the middle or even lower, the glass slows down or stops rising altogether. At the same time, drivers help the ESP either with their hand or with a “clarion word”.

Replacing the door window lifter on a VAZ 2113, VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115

Welcome! Window lifter - this mechanism is found in almost any car, depending on the car, it can be either a mechanical type (With a handle for adjusting the position of the glass) or an electric one (In this case, the handle is removed and a button is placed together with it), in addition, we immediately note the fact that the window lifter and the glass itself are two different things (some people just confuse it) and thanks to it you can adjust the position of the glass in the car (raise it higher or lower it).

Note! To carry out the procedure for replacing the window lifter on the door, you will have to stock up on: Various types of screwdrivers, as well as a set of wrenches, if you have an extension cord with union heads, then you can use it, and thin pliers or pliers may also be needed, and if you have them If you have one, be sure to take them!

Summary:

Where is the door window lift located? On cars of the Samara 2 family, different types of window lifters are installed, namely, there are electric ones in the front, and mechanical ones in the back (If the car is in a top configuration, then there are electric ones in the back), both types are hidden in the door itself and you won’t see them without removing the trim, so for For clarity, in the photo below, the trim was removed from the front door of the car, and the window regulator itself is indicated by a red arrow in this photo.

When should you replace your door window regulator? If we are talking about an electric window lifter, then as a rule, when it fails, the glass stops going up and down when you press the corresponding button, in addition, on some cars (you most likely have already paid attention to this) it happens that the glass somehow goes down (Slowly ) and almost does not rise (you have to help with your hand), this also indicates that the window lifter has become unusable and requires replacement, but by the way, in some cases, due to the fact that the glass does not rise and fall poorly, it may not even be the window lifter itself that is to blame glass, it’s just that over time its fastening weakens and thus the glass becomes skewed, which is why problems occur with lowering and raising the glass on the car, but as for mechanical window lifters, everything is simple here, if by rotating the handle the glass has ceased to be adjusted, then the window regulator itself has failed and requires replacement.

Why does the window regulator work poorly?

1. The first reason is poor lubrication of the window lift mechanism. During operation, the ESP mechanism gradually loses lubrication, causing the windows to slowly lower or rise. The solution to the problem is to remove the door card, after which all working parts are lubricated. If after lubrication of the window lifter mechanism the problem is not eliminated, we continue to search for it.
2. Often the reason may be poor adjustment of the glass itself. That is, a situation where the glass itself is not installed correctly on the lifting bar. In this case, it is necessary to remove the door card and adjust the position of the glass using the adjusting nut, and then check the operation of the ESP.

1. The fourth reason is poor lubrication of the guides. Sometimes, during operation, the guides, or it would be more correct to say the tunnel along which the glass moves, wear out, become abraded, become dirty, etc. As a result, the glass experiences excessive load and resistance, which naturally leads to the window lifter slowly raising the glass. The problem is solved quite simply, we take cotton swabs and clean the tunnel from dirt and sand. Then we take a lubricant, it can be silicone grease or WD-40, or something alternative, and lubricate the guides. We don’t skimp on the lubricant, but we don’t put it in excess either, we just generously coat the sliding areas of the glass, then check the result.

1. Wear of velvet. Due to increased wear of the velvet covers, or more simply put, glass seals, the latter may rise more slowly. However, if this is the problem, then most likely the power windows on all doors will not work well. The solution to this problem is to replace the worn velvets, after which the problem should go away.

If all the steps described above are completed, then the problem should most likely go away; if this does not happen, you should continue the search or completely replace the ESP. That's all for me, I'm waiting for your solutions to this problem! Perhaps some of you have encountered a situation where the window regulator does not raise well, I would be grateful if you describe your case, as well as a way to solve this problem. Bye!

Design and types of window lifters

The window regulator of the VAZ 2115, VAZ 2114 and other models of cars in this series can be of two main types. The mechanisms on the VAZ 2115 or 2114 do not have any fundamental differences from other models of the family.

The first of them is collapsible. They consist of two parts, a motor and a trapezoid, which are connected with fine thread bolts. If necessary, you can replace one of these parts while leaving the other. Previously, this was the most profitable option, since repairing a window regulator was much cheaper. Most often the trapeze had to be removed and replaced.

But in recent years it has been quite difficult to find high-quality trapeze on sale. Almost everything that is in stores lasts a month or two, and then again requires replacement. Therefore, collapsible device models are no longer so popular.

The second option is non-separable models. They are solid and do not allow the replacement of individual parts. On the other hand, a new non-removable factory window regulator for the VAZ 2113 and other models can last up to 3-5 years without requiring replacement. And with adequate use, even longer.

In addition to these types, devices are also distinguished by their operating principle. These are mechanical and electric windows of the VAZ 2114 and other models. The latter are also divided into lever, cable and rack and pinion. Their main difference is how the impulse of movement from the engine is transmitted to the plate holding the glass. This can be done by cable, lever or using a rack system.

Types of window lifters

Electric window lifters used in modern domestic (and not only) cars can be divided into 3 main categories:

1. Cable ones are the most affordable, but they are also weak and slow. Their only advantage is maintainability - if the motor fails, it can be purchased separately and installed in place of the broken one.
2. Rack and pinion ones are faster and quite reliable, but require regular inspection and lubrication to achieve a long service life.
3. Lever-hinged ones are the most modern. They are distinguished by durability, low maintenance requirements, and a combination of high operating speed and high power. Even frozen glass can be moved without much effort.
