Disassembling the steering column turn signal switch Chevrolet Niva

The Chevy Niva has a very nice and convenient steering column switch compared to VAZ cars of the ninth and tenth families. It not only looks better, but also works quieter, and the key strokes are shorter than those of the “nine”. Accordingly, it has softer shifts, which is why craftsmen immediately began installing this product on other Lada cars. In some cases, the replacement is quite simple, in others, electrical skills will be required.

Disassembling the steering column turn signal switch Chevrolet Niva

08/02/2019 Niva

Our prices fluctuate quite significantly from 25 to hryvnia. This office is Ukrainian, but the high-quality cardboard packaging does not tell where these switches are made. Probably in China.

To replace it, you need to unscrew the 5 self-tapping screws that hold the steering shaft housing together. Next, remove the old switch and install a new one in its place.

Disassembling the steering column turn signal switch Chevrolet Niva

If not a single self-tapping screw is lost, then the turn and light switch lever on a Chevrolet Niva will change in no more than 15 minutes. Mileage mileage.

Chevrolet Niva turn switch It is clear that replacing the switch solves this problem and is not difficult. Chevrolet Niva turn switch, for your consideration, I present my experience in the execution of the said part. Looking ahead, I’ll say that: A I took it apart, B I fixed it. And now let’s talk about everything in order: The removed steering column cover greeted me with chipped fasteners on all fronts. The lid fits quite tightly and opening was accompanied by the fear of breaking it to the nuclear granny, but unhealthy interest and brute physical force once again drowned out the voice of reason and as a result the lid was removed.

Light and turn switch lever

The handle is removed from the groove by a movement exposing the contacts. An inspection showed that everything inside the box looks more than decent and even the lubricant tastes the same as in the good old days.

The desired culprit turned out to be the switch handle itself, namely the part that contacts the high beam activation mechanism - it, being made of metal, rubbed all the way to the spring return rod, and even scratched it. My poor calculator was never able to capture the essence, but if you look closely, you can see the Chevrolet Niva turn switch on the metal part of the handle, but it’s not there. Because of this selection, the high beam switch was not pressed.

The principle of operation of the mechanism as I understand it is described below. Once the enemy has revealed himself, it is time to strike back.

At first the thought came to me to simply turn the piece of iron over to the other side. It is held on by a pin that needs to be knocked out.

To do this, I ground the tail of the nano tap to the appropriate size and hit it with a hammer a couple of times. Then the handle can be easily removed when pulled out. The statement is also true for the windshield wiper mode switch.

If, as a result of diagnostics, it turns out that one of the steering column switches has failed, you need to purchase a new part, catalog number, or install it on the car, following this algorithm: Release the steering wheel adjustment switch and move the column to the lower position - for convenience .

Disassemble the plastic cover of the steering column, which consists of two halves.

To do this, use a screwdriver to unscrew several screws that connect them. Disconnect the connectors from the old key and pull it out of the socket, bending the plastic latches. Attach the connector to the new part and insert it into place.

Place the plastic casing and connect the battery. Where do the keys go? Steering column switches from a Chevy Niva car, with varying degrees of complexity, can be installed on the following cars: On all cars of the ninth and Chevrolet Niva turn switch family, keys from a Chevy Niva are installed almost without problems.

Pinout of the steering column switch VAZ 2109

The steering column switches on the LADA Samara work reliably, but they are a bit harsh and click quite loudly. Designers didn’t think about such little things back in the 1980s, alas. In principle, it’s not annoying, you get used to it, but sometimes you think about improvement. We are not considering the option of installing switches a la Chevy Niva - they do not fit either the size of the handle or the design. Here we will see how to upgrade the standard VAZ-2108 switches.

We remove the switch cover, pull out the handle and see the internal structure. The yellow line shows the profile along which the spring-loaded rod moves when switching the direction indicators. The clicking sound occurs in two cases: when the turn signal is turned on and when it is turned off. In the first case, the handle with the device at the end hits the side wall of the case hard (right arrow). In the second case, the sound is produced by a spring-loaded rod hitting the central part of the yellow line. The second case is not so easy to eliminate, but the first is not difficult.

Let's look at the handle and the device at its end. Two arrows show the locations of impact on the walls. In this place you need to stick a softening material, for example, rubber. But in order not to damage the fixation of the handle when it is turned on, the areas under the rubber need to be ground down by 1-2 mm. In addition, you can make the turn indicators turn on more softly. To do this, you need to shorten the spring (shown with an arrow in the photo) by a couple of turns.

Some sites also suggest sticking softening material onto the lid, but this makes no sense. The return lever attached to the lid does not make significant sounds.

Let's move on to the right switch. Let's make the switching on softer. To do this, as in the left switch, we shorten the spring, but do not overdo it: no more than 2 turns, and preferably one. The wide arrow shows the contacts: it would be a good idea to check their condition.

OH GUYS, how I was fucked by these moronic, incompetent steering wheel paddles from a kopeck (brand), the switches themselves creak terribly, then you hit the turn signal instead of switching the light or vice versa... besides, I made a rear wiper (reinstalled) and the option of working with a button doesn’t suit me at all arranged, I want to make it so that it works from the steering column switch. In short, it was decided to burn them and install switches from the VAZ 2109. Well, not everything is so simple, wiring + the installation of the turn signal and light holder itself. To begin with, a separate diagram of the Taria and the VAZ 2109 was left. I looked at what was missing for the light switches and wipers, then some spare parts began to be purchased. Well, due to the difficult financial situation, work has been temporarily suspended, but it will definitely resume soon. I’m posting the diagrams, maybe someone will also be interested.

Do-it-yourself Chevrolet rocker adjustment: instructions

To set up the scenes you need to perform a number of actions.

• 1st gear does not engage at the gearbox. To turn it on, you need to start the engine, moving the gearbox lever until the car starts moving. Next, turn off the engine while 1st gear is engaged. You need to place shoes or wheel chocks under the tires, not forgetting the parking brake.
• Next, you will need to lower yourself into the hole to unscrew the clamp bolt of the rocker itself.
• Now you need to find the plastic traction lock in the Chevrolet Niva interior and move it to the far left position.
• Next, you need to once again lower yourself into the inspection ditch to tighten the loosened clamp bolt.

So, the gearbox traction adjustment can be considered complete. Now it’s worth checking the functionality of the part. It happens that this process does not help, there is no result, and removal and, therefore, complete repair of the component is required.

Why does the windshield washer not work?

All washer malfunctions are divided into two groups: electrical and mechanical.

Mechanical:

• Lack of liquid. In winter, you cannot use ordinary water, as it may freeze. If the water still freezes, you need to warm up the car engine and leave it in a warm room.
• The fluid supply hose may fly off or become pinched.
• The nozzles can also stop the washer from working. Poor quality of water and washer fluid leads to the fact that the fittings become clogged with dirt, rust, and washer fluid does not flow. The injectors are cleaned or new ones are purchased.

Electrical:

• Fuse F2(10A) has blown.
• The electric motor does not pump, no fluid flows, which means the terminals are oxidized. You need to clean the terminals and contacts and connect everything.
• Faulty switch. If the motor does not turn when voltage is present, then this is the reason.
• Check the pump motor by connecting it directly to the battery; if it starts spinning, then the fault is in the steering column switch.

Replacing the turn switch

To figure out how to install steering column switches from a Niva Chevrolet on another car, you must first understand how to change them on your “native” car. The Lada Kalina car also has keys of this modification.

Switches for light alarms and windshield wipers of the VAZ 2131 (Lada Kalina) are considered quite reliable products and function flawlessly for many years. The first problems with them were recorded after a run of 120 thousand km. This does not take into account operation in extreme conditions on dusty dirt roads, where all electrical parts wear out faster.

A failure of the turn switch on a Chevrolet Niva is often confused with a breakdown of the relay responsible for the operation of the corresponding light signals. The relay also fails rarely, but is cheaper than the keys. Therefore, in the event of a failure, it is better to start troubleshooting with the relay, provided that the fuse is in order. The statement is also true for the windshield wiper mode switch.

If, as a result of diagnostics, it turns out that one of the steering column switches has failed, you need to purchase a new part (catalog number 21230-3709330-00-0 or 2123-3709330) and install it on the car, following this algorithm:

• Just in case, disconnect the battery by disconnecting the ground contact.
• Release the steering wheel adjustment lock and move the column to the lower position for convenience.
• Disassemble the plastic cover of the steering column, which consists of two halves. To do this, you need to use a screwdriver to unscrew several screws that connect them to each other.
• Disconnect the connectors from the old key and pull it out of the socket, bending the plastic latches.
• Attach the connector to the new part and insert it into place. Place the plastic casing and connect the battery.

Electrical part

The Gazelle windshield wiper switch, unlike the Kamaz Guitar, does not cover the speedometer and can be installed without removing the steering wheel. After a year and a half of operation, they showed themselves to be excellent and the design is good. (The turn signal switch can be installed without any problems).

Standard UAZ scheme

(from 31519)

Standard switch positions:

• 0 - disabled
• I - slow (one click)
• II - fast (two clicks)
• III - washer (press)

Modified scheme

We install:

• We buy a steering column from a Gazelle, a wiper relay from a V8 522.3747 and contact blocks for 8 contacts - 1 piece (for the steering column) and 6 contacts - 2 pieces (for the standard adapter and for the wiper relay)
• Removing the standard wiper switch
• We are finalizing the standard adapter cable from the switch to the wiper motor:
• we break wire 4-4 (where the red cross is) and connect its ends to contacts 31B and S of the wiper relay
• connect wire 5-2 of the cable to pin 15 of the wiper relay
• We connect contact J of the relay with contact 2 of the steering column switch
• We connect contact 13 of the relay to ground
• We make an adapter cable from the Gesel contact block

switch to the standard terminal block, to which the standard switch was previously connected

• We connect the washer motor contacts to switch contacts 6 and 7
• Connect relay contact 86 to pin 6 of the steering column switch.

Mechanism problems

After the procedure for adjusting the traction of the Niva Chevrolet gearbox, faults continue to appear? Pay attention to them:

• free movement of the transmission lever increases;
• speeds do not change;
• difficult gear shift;
• switching on another gear or there is no possibility of switching gears.

When these problems are identified, there is a need for significant action, expressed in the repair or replacement of the scenes. However, to actually carry out such activities, the mechanism must be removed.

The same thing - top view:

This is what it looks like with the switch blocks installed:

Here you can see where the pin fits into the groove:

Thus, the mechanical part is over, all that remains is to deal with the electrical part. The connection shouldn't create any special difficulties, I'm just not very good with electrical circuits. Connection report later.

Added: I connected the turn signals without any problems - I looked at how the “original ones” were turned on, “ringed” the new switch and connected it practically without any modifications, not counting the installation of crimp terminals. I continue - the next step is connecting the lighting fixtures.

So, I also connected the light - I first rang the contacts, noted in what position the low/far light was on, then disconnected the wires from the original switch, using the method of alternate bridging, noted the wires involved and, by analogy, installed it on the new one. Thus, the left switch is fully operational. The only thing is that you need to turn on the low beam on a button, since the new light switch has not 3, but 2 positions (there is no turning off the low beam). But it's not a problem. I decided to connect the wipers another day, since I don’t have much free time. The only thing I did was turn on the signal on the right switch (the lever “pull away”). I’m thinking about how to make the washer work in the “pull” position - the signal is activated through the “ground”, and the washer that uses a common terminal with the signal is activated through the “plus”. And one more good news - I didn’t have to mess with the casing. I took casing 2108 for testing (with the possibility of return), tried it - it became like original, I didn’t have to cut or redo anything. There is only a hole left for the ignition switch on the right - it will have to be sealed with something. There is no longer room for the original lock, but I long ago turned on the ignition and starter using buttons, thus getting rid of the lock. So everything suited me in the best possible way. Final photos later, I’ll make the connection diagram a separate article (along with the whole process).

Transmission linkage: removal

The rocker on a Niva Chevrolet SUV is removed in the following order:

• Open the hood of the car and find the clutch tip of the lever, as well as the gearbox linkage. The rod has a turnbuckle with a protective cover that will need to be removed.
• In the Shnivy interior, remove the trim of the gearbox lever using a screwdriver. You should be careful not to damage the latches.
• Turn the cover the other way, and then cut the fastening clamp. Next you need to remove the cover from the lever.
• Remove the front of the floor tunnel lining.
• Unfasten the fasteners from the lever and remove the axle.
• Remove the shift lever by moving it up, and the remaining rubber cuff must be returned inside the removed lever.
• Remove the lever housing fixing bolts and remove the rocker.
• Remove the rod (rubber sleeve) from the shaft.
• Observe the rod for damage or defects. This way it will be possible to determine whether the backstage requires repair or replacement.

Replacement should be carried out if there is a gap in the hinges or serious wear of the play under the axis of the speed shift knob. If the boot is damaged, you will have to replace it with a new one. So, you need to cut off the worn boot and remove it, installing a new one in its place. You should first lubricate the internal parts with Litol.

In other cases, it’s time to repair the backstage. You will need to buy a repair kit in advance, which contains plastic seals. Before installing the seals, you need to lubricate them with Litol-24. After completing the repair, all that remains is to assemble all the parts in the reverse order of removal. Upon completion of assembly, it is worth remembering the new clamp that was cut when removing the cover.

We repair the device

The switches located under the steering wheel of a VAZ-2107 car, at the first sign of a malfunction, require first of all to find the reason why this or that function does not work. To find the cause, first remove the device and try to determine the problem yourself. There are not many reasons for the breakdown, but often there is a need to replace the device with a new one. So, in order to determine the reasons for the failure of paddle switches, let’s consider what parts they consist of, and a photo will help us for this.

The design of the switches is non-demountable. If problems arise with the operation of the control levers, disassemble them and try to make repairs. Even if it fails, you can always buy a new component.

Remove the steering column switch on a VAZ-2107 car in the following order:

1. Disconnect the vehicle from the power source and remove the steering wheel.
2. Next, remove the casing that secures the steering column shaft, on which the control levers are attached. To do this, use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the 4 screws and self-tapping screw.
3. After removing the housing, we move on to the levers themselves. Disconnect the power cord strip.
4. Unscrew the screw holding the switches located at the bottom.
5. By loosening the fastening, you can remove the switch without much effort.

Now the device can be repaired after first checking it for damage. If they are not there, clean the contacts in the connector block and bend the sagging springs. Also check if the wire has been unsoldered from the unit. After the repair, you need to check whether you have fixed the problem. To do this, connect the pads and install the terminals on the battery; if all functions work, then the repair was successful.

How to replace a broken device

If after repair the paddle switch does not work, then there is no way out, you will have to buy a new one. The cost of such a switch on a VAZ-2107 is around 300-500 rubles. This is not too much of an expense for such an important control. Now comes the time for replacement, which consists of removing the old one and installing a new element in its place. How to remove a non-working device is already known, so let’s get down to business. To do this, you need to install the device in place, secure it and connect the power wires. Replacement does not involve any difficulties, after which you check the functionality of the device and install the casing and steering wheel.

The process of repairing and replacing switches under the steering wheel takes no more than an hour, after which the device will work as if the car had just left the showroom.

Sound signal activation circuit

1 – plug socket for a portable lamp; 2 – sound signal; 3 – sound signal switch; 4 – fuse block.

Sound signal Niva 2121 - type S-308 or S-309. It is secured in the engine compartment on a bracket to the radiator frame panel. It is turned on by the central button of the car's steering wheel. The contact ring of the switch is attached to the steering wheel, and the spring-loaded contacts are on the connector of the VAZ 2131 steering column switch. If the signal sound becomes weak and hoarse, adjust it by turning the screw on the housing in one direction or another.

Niva Chevrolet wiper switch

The Chevy Niva has a very nice and convenient steering column switch compared to VAZ cars of the ninth and tenth families. It not only looks better, but also works quieter, and the key strokes are shorter than those of the “nine”. Accordingly, it has softer shifts, which is why craftsmen immediately began installing this product on other Lada cars. In some cases, the replacement is quite simple, in others, electrical skills will be required.

Where do the keys go?

Steering column switches from Chevy Niva cars, with varying degrees of complexity, can be installed on the following cars:

• VAZ 2109, VAZ 2110 and all modifications;
• VAZ 21213 Niva;
• Oka.

On all cars of the ninth and tenth families, keys from Chevy Niva are installed almost without problems.

For replacement, the algorithm of actions given above is used. There can only be one problem: to turn on the highest speed windshield wipers, you will have to trim the plastic steering column cover a little.

As a result, the switch levers move away from the steering wheel by approximately 1.5-2 cm. At the same time, each key becomes shorter than the standard one by 1 cm. That is, the car owner will need a little time to get used to using the new petals. Overall, the driver's workplace looks better.

Replacing the steering column switch on a Chevy Niva

The Chevy Niva has a very nice and convenient steering column switch compared to VAZ cars of the ninth and tenth families.

Accordingly, it has softer shifts, which is why craftsmen immediately began installing this product on other Lada cars. In some cases, the replacement is quite simple, in others, electrical skills will be required.

Installation on other vehicles

To install beautiful switches on a regular Niva or Oka, you will have to tinker a lot. There are several installation methods, but some of them should be discarded as unaesthetic, and to implement the rest you need electrical skills or a familiar auto electrician who can connect everything according to the diagram.

It is necessary to take into account that it is better to replace the “original” steering column casing with another one from a Chevrolet Niva. To keep the old one, you will have to cut a large opening in it, which will not make the driver’s seat look any more beautiful. Ideally, you should also change the steering wheel - install a wheel from a VAZ 2131, then all the parts will fit perfectly. What you need to buy:

• steering column switch assembly with central clutch;
• connector blocks from the same Chevy Niva;
• adapter for switch from VAZ 2105;
• connectors from an old switch.

If adapter 2105 cannot be found, then you will have to fit a thin-walled pipe of the same diameter by cutting a longitudinal groove at least 5 mm wide in its wall. To replace it, you need to disassemble the steering column assembly and remove the steering wheel itself, after which an adapter (or a pipe with a clamp) is installed on the shaft in the right place.

The clutch assembly with switches should be positioned so that the contacts are at the very top. Then the pads are connected and electrical wiring is done, at the end the steering wheel and a new casing are installed.

On the Oka, the coupling with switches from the Chevrolet Niva fits without an adapter, but for the sound signal to work, you will need to change the contacts on the steering wheel. First, the assembly is disassembled, the wiring harness is cut off from the “original” switch, and the switch itself is removed. The new control unit is pushed onto the steel shaft casing until it stops. The ends of the cut wires must be soldered to the connectors in accordance with the pinout diagram. You can also connect wires from the rear wiper button there, which is controlled separately in Oka.

The modification of the signal contacts on the steering wheel is so that they reach the corresponding terminals on the steering column switch from the Chevrolet Niva. You will have to remove the inner plastic ring, rotate the contact plate, drill and tap two new holes in the steering hub. The part is now secured with screws in the new position and aligned with the contacts on the switch. After this, the assembly can be assembled by slightly modifying the plastic panels of the steering column casing.

Sometimes, after such a replacement, fuse No. 2 on the Oka constantly blows out when the windshield wipers operate continuously. The fact is that some cars used a relay that was incompatible with the VAZ 2131 switch. The issue is resolved by replacing the corresponding relay with a new one.

Why do the brake lights on the VAZ 2107 not light up?

What compression should the Niva have?

Chevrolet Niva Sochi GLS › Logbook › Repair of the windshield wiper drive.

Last year, the intermittent operation of the windshield wiper began to disappear. At first he disappeared after long work, maybe after an hour, maybe after five. There was only the fastest one left, which was not at all convenient in the drizzling rain. After parking for a short time, with the ignition off, it appeared. Further, another jamb began to appear - when switching to fast mode, the intermittent one was guaranteed to disappear, although the relay clicked. This year the summer was relatively rainy, and this problem was particularly annoying. I changed the relay several times, installed it with an adjustable pause, replaced the steering column switch, all to no avail. Recently these modes disappeared completely, only fast. Judging by the diagram, in intermittent and slow mode, power is supplied to the first contact, in fast mode to the second. Now fine.

I checked the voltage at the relay output, everything is there. I removed the frill and checked the voltage on pin 1 of the connector, everything is fine.

It is necessary to remove and disassemble the electric motor. I removed the trapezoid and unscrewed the engine. It is advisable to mark the drive shaft relative to the plate, since it is connected to the sliding parking contacts, and if installed incorrectly, you will have to select the brush parking.

The contacts are a little worn. To remove the engine itself, you need to remove the gears, the central large one and two small ones (they have different tooth inclinations).

Unscrew a couple of screws and carefully remove the motor without damaging the brushes.

And here is the culprit, a jammed brush, which is connected to the 1st contact of the connector.

Moreover, it was not jammed to death; it was difficult to move it. And here is the reason: either dried paint, or sealant on the brush itself.

We cut off this substance with a knife.

We check the stroke of the brush, everything is clear, it shoots smartly from the spring)). We reassemble in the reverse order, lubricate where necessary, including the trapezoid axle bushings. Everything works as it should.

Hello, is it possible to install the steering column light position 21011 instead of the steering column 2105?
