All cars have a device for producing sound signals (horn), but its sound does not always suit the owner. This is the main reason for replacing the standard horn with alternative options (for example, with a sound signal from the Volga). Let's look at this improvement in detail.
Nowadays, horns are usually used in pairs. One with a high tone, the other with a low tone. This provides strength and beauty of sound.
Will need to buy:
- A couple of sound signals from GAZ 3110 (article number for high tone - 22.3721, for low tone - 221.3721), or an analogue, approximate price 500 rubles; Other sounds in this category.
- 4-pin relay 75.3777-10;
- Relay socket;
- Mounted fuse 10-15A;
- Single-core wire;
- Corrugation for wires;
- Terminals;
- Brackets/brackets for mounting sound signals (optional).
Installation and connection of a sound signal from the Volga is shown using the example of the Lada Vesta sedan. On other cars (for example, Lada Largus, Granta, Kalina, Priora, Niva 2121 or XRAY) all actions are performed in a similar way.
Replacing the standard signal of a VAZ-2109 with a signal from a Volga
To begin directly installing new signals, you will need:
- sound devices from “Volga” with a “mass” installed on the body;
- relay 90.3747 with mounting;
- relay block;
- female type terminals;
- heat-shrink tubing;
- stranded wire, with a cross section of 2.5 mm. sq.;
- fuse block;
- 20 A fuse;
- metal corner.
Video review of installing a signal on a VAZ-2109:
Connecting autorun
The VAZ-2114 models use an ignition switch with three terminals - 15 (blue wire), 30 (lilac) and 50 (red). Terminal 30 is connected to the battery. When you turn the key, blue wire 15 is connected to this terminal. The third terminal is responsible for the starter.
As it is written in the instructions, it is quite possible to power the alarm from contact 30, from which the lead is made. And the cable from connector X1, yellow, is connected to connector 15.
After all the actions taken, the connection of the tachometer remains. In this case, a loop antenna and a reading device are combined. Connector X3 has a gray-black outgoing wire. It is connected to the tachometer as shown in the VAZ dashboard diagram:
This will allow the alarm to control the speed. And at the very end we connect the ground from the main unit. This is a black cord from connector X3.
Signal installation procedure
Whenever working on a vehicle's electrical systems, you must first turn off the power. To do this, remove the terminal leading to the car body from the battery.
To easily access the location of the signal on the VAZ-2109, you need to remove the radiator grille. We unscrew the factory signal together with the grille mounting rail. We also remove the ground wire coming from the signal.
In advance of starting work, it is worth preparing mounts for new signals . You can buy the metal corner needed for these purposes at any hardware store. The location of the signal from the Volga will be the same as that of the “native” signal. Apply marks to the corner in the same way as you will install it. Next, saw off along the marked line and drill holes for attaching new signals. To extend the life of a metal corner, it should be coated with paint or any other protective coating. Then take the new signals and fix them on the prepared corner. The bolt included in the kit has two purposes: as a fixing element and as a “mass”. In order for it to perform the “ground” function, it is necessary to ensure its direct connection to the metal corner. A castle washer works well for these purposes.
Your next action will be to set the signal. Place the new part in its intended location and secure it by tightening the bolt using a castle washer. This way you will provide the contact necessary for the signal to work. As a rule, the bolts used to attach Volgov signals are longer and pry off the radiator. To avoid this, place the washers so that the corner with the attached signals moves further away.
Remember that the corner must be in contact with the car body.
Next, proceed to connecting and adjusting the wiring. Below is a diagram of connecting Volgov signals.
Crimp the ends of the wires with suitable terminals, and then insulate the joints with heat shrink tubing.
The relay for connecting the signal can be installed on the back of the radiator frame.
Fix the wire coming from pin 86 at the place where the relay is attached to the body using a castle washer. This type of connection guarantees contact. Before fastening, install a lug with a fastening eye on the wire.
Pull the wire from the fuse to the positive terminal on the battery. In fact, this step is the final step in connecting the Volga signal to the VAZ-2109 and 2108. All you have to do is install the radiator grille in its place and enjoy the new sound emanating from your car. By the way, the outgoing sound can be customized. You need to twist a special bolt on the signal housing and the sound will change its tone. Also, do not forget to lubricate the mounting points and connections with a special anti-corrosion coating.
Design
The design of the ignition module is quite complex, since it combines technology and electrics. The device serves to create high voltage transmitted to the spark plugs. It is this supplied current that is the basis for ignition.
The operation of the module ensures fuel combustion and, accordingly, engine operation. In very simple terms, the car won’t go anywhere without the module.
For VAZ models, the use of two types of ignition modules is provided:
- Separate;
- Block.
Block ones differ in that the coils operate one per pair of spark plugs. These are the devices that are installed on the “fourteenth” model of the domestic automaker.
The coil distributes power to two candles at once, and its design includes the following elements:
- High voltage wires;
- Low voltage terminals;
- Secondary and primary winding;
- Core.
Separate modules, where the coils supply a separate circuit to each of the 4 sections, are distinguished by the output of high-voltage wires through a spring contact. Block ones are easier to check, they are easy to remove and return to their place.
It is noteworthy that with a size of 11x11x7 centimeters, this block weighs about 1.5 kilograms.
Setting signals without relays
There is another way to connect signals from the Volga . Since the factory signals are connected through a relay located in the fuse box, you only have to connect the new signals directly through the “old” wiring. This method is rarely used due to its disadvantages. The fact is that the positive wire used in standard wiring is very thin and physically cannot pass the necessary voltage, as a result of which the signals from the Volga will not work at full strength.
Fuse blown
The easiest and first-priority check that should be carried out when the horn fails is the integrity of the fuse. So, if the latter actually burned out, therefore, in the 2114th VAZ model there is a short circuit. You need to try to install a complete fuse according to the rating. If it burns out again, it is possible that a short circuit has occurred. In the opposite situation, most likely, the fuse has simply exhausted its resource.
Stories from our readers
“Fucking basin. "
Hi all! My name is Mikhail, now I’ll tell you a story about how I managed to exchange my two-wheeler for a 2010 Camry. It all started with the fact that I began to be wildly irritated by the breakdowns of the two-wheeler, it seemed like nothing serious was broken, but damn it, there were so many little things that really started to irritate me. This is where the idea arose that it was time to change the car to a foreign car. The choice fell on the melting Camry of the tenth years.
Yes, I had matured morally, but financially I just couldn’t handle it. I’ll say right away that I am against loans and taking a car, especially not a new one, on credit is unreasonable. My salary is 24k a month, so collecting 600-700 thousand is almost impossible for me. I started looking for different ways to make money on the Internet. You can’t imagine how many scams there are, what I haven’t tried: sports betting, network marketing, and even the volcano casino, where I successfully lost about 10 thousand ((The only direction in which it seemed to me that I could make money was currency trading on the stock exchange, they call it Forex. But when I started delving into it, I realized that it was very difficult for me. I continued to dig further and came across binary options. The essence is the same as in Forex, but it’s much easier to understand. I started reading forums, studying trading strategies. I tried it on a demo account, then opened a real account. To be honest, I didn’t manage to start earning money right away, until I understood all the mechanics of options, I lost about 3,000 rubles, but as it turned out, it was a precious experience. Now I earn 5-7 thousand rubles a day. I managed to get the car buy after half a year, but in my opinion this is a good result, and it’s not about the car, my life has changed, I naturally quit my job, I have more free time for myself and my family. You’ll laugh, but I work directly on the phone)) If If you want to change your life like me, then here’s what I advise you to do right now: 1. Register on the site 2. Practice on a Demo account (it’s free). 3. As soon as you get something on the Demo account, top up your REAL ACCOUNT and go to REAL MONEY! I also advise you to download the application to your phone, it’s much more convenient to work from your phone. Download here.
Installing Volgov signals in a VAZ 2110 with a simple replacement will not work. The thing is that there are two wires going to the standard signal: “Minus”, which is supplied from the button on the steering wheel, and “Plus”, which is constantly coming up (which also powers the radiator fan). And for the Volgov signals to work, only one wire is needed - “Plus”, since “Ground” is supplied through the body (from attaching them to the car body).
In addition, we are talking about different current consumption :
- Standard signals according to the passport consume no more than 5A (in measurements no more than 3.5A)
- Volgov signals 8A each (Total 16A)
That is why, in order to connect signals from the Volga to the top ten, you need to use a 4-pin relay (for example, 904.3747-10)
The relay can be installed:
- Inside the cabin in the fuse box.
- Under the hood (in this case the relay must be insulated to prevent moisture from entering)
Let's look at both connection options using an example:
To publish messages, create an account or log in
In most cases, they are single-tone and very quiet, and their sound can scare away only a sparrow, and not attract the attention of other road users.
We isolate everything securely. There are even ready-made blocks for relays with wires. Therefore, I decided to install a signal from GAZ.
In most cases, they are single-tone and very quiet, and their sound can scare away only a sparrow, and not attract the attention of other road users. If this is important to you, then you can install another relay at the battery that will turn on the power when you turn on the ignition, or install a signal control relay next to the battery and the power wire will be as short as possible.
The horn itself is broken. Take it and connect it.
As a result, numbers should be shown on the tester screen - if they are present, the wiring is intact. For example, I recently gave a car I had made to a man, and over time his signal stopped working.
If you have any suspicions about the health of the electrical circuit, you need to check the grounding of the circuit, as well as the voltage and current values. If there is a “minus” signal from the button, then you can safely power contacts 30 and 86 together from the battery, but not forgetting that the wires on contacts 30 and 87 must have the appropriate cross-section to power the signals, and you can even hook “noodles” to control the relay.
Now the sound produced is similar to the roar of a rhinoceros during the “rut”. In case of such a problem, the operation of the horn can be restored, since it is not damaged. An extra relay that appeared in the car. The horn winding is burnt out. All elements, in particular the disk, rod, anchor and others, return to their original position using a spring and membrane.
He installed everything to the factory wiring, drove it for a couple of days and realized that it wouldn’t work. Therefore, through the interior button we connect the control wires to the relay, and the direct plus to the consumer, in our case the signal. I connected the power to the standard signal circuit, there is a 16A fuse there, in addition to the signal from this fuse, the rear brake lights and interior lamps are powered, all of which are LEDs. What do we get after all this? how to connect a signal through a relay
Installing a relay in the engine compartment
Unlike the first method, here all the work on installing signals and wiring will be under the hood. The same material will be used, you just need to buy:
- Hanging fuse (like from a mafon-16A) - 25r
- Terminals mother-8pcs-10rub
- Plastic corrugation 2 meters - 8 rubles
We place the horns from the Volga in any convenient place (as in the first option), and connect the wiring according to any of the diagrams: In the first scheme, we take “Plus” for the signal from the fuse block, through its fuse, and in the second scheme we take “Plus” immediately with battery, through a separate 20A fuse. It is best to use the second circuit to connect horns from the Volga to a VAZ 2110.
It is better to place the relay where there is the least chance of moisture getting in. Before doing this, it is good to insulate the relay or wrap it in a bag.
The installation procedure is approximately this:
- Using the “8” key, unscrew the 2 bolts securing the radiator grille and unsnap the 2 lower latches, remove the grille!
- Removing the standard sound signal
- Assembling the wiring according to the diagram
- We isolate all connections, and put the wire that connects the signals to each other into a corrugation (so as not to rub against the radiator)
- We attach the relay in a suitable place
- Putting back the radiator grill

That's it, the mechanical part is over, let's move on to the electrical part. As a rule, the horn device is located behind the engine radiator grille, directly in front of the main radiator device. As practice shows, often the cause of failure lies in their oxidation, so it makes sense to clean the contacts. Already crimped wires with terminals are sold in stores.
Using this circuit, you can connect almost any powerful device and control it with a small, beautiful key. I planned to do it from the front, instead of the standard one, but I couldn’t unscrew the grille mounting bolts. Connecting an air signal If you need to connect not an electric, but an air sound signal, the connection procedure will be almost the same as described above.
To do this, you will need to dismantle the relay and set the resistance measurement mode on the multimeter. The difference is that the wire from the relay does not go to the sound signal itself, but to the compressor engine, which supplies air to the signal.
We mark the corner at the installation location, saw it off, and drill holes for attaching signals from the Volga.
This petal may burst over time; sometimes the cause should be sought in the jamming of the pressure rack. So we bring to your attention a diagram for connecting an audio signal through a relay. It is universal for most cars, with the exception of those cases when audio signals are used that receive mass through the body, for example Volgov's, for which the diagram is slightly different.

Sound signal with compressor on VAZ 2110
Pneumatic signals are a whole system consisting of:
- compressor (air blower)
- receiver (compressed air container)
- signals (pipes), into which, when the signal is operating, compressed air is supplied from the receiver under pressure.
This type of car horn is the most powerful in terms of sound pressure of all possible options.
But compressor sound signals also have disadvantages:
- The pneumatic signal is triggered with a slight delay until the compressor reaches the required pressure.
- The compressor needs to be maintained, that is, periodically lubricated, etc.
- Plastic parts must be placed as far as possible from objects that are very hot, otherwise the plastic will crack.
- Pneumatics, like any other compressor, when pumping air, condenses moisture on the working surfaces, which freezes overnight. That is, until it warms up, the signal will not work.
- It is better to protect the compressor suction port from dust and dirt (for example, wear a stocking)
- The price of compressor sound signals is much higher.
Cheap versions of such signals, as a rule do not last long , and over time their sound is compared with signals from the same Volga. In addition, in order to undergo maintenance, you need to leave the standard signals.

Possible wiring faults
What malfunctions in the wiring of a GAZ 31105 with a Chrysler engine, GAZ 31029 or any other model can occur:
- Lack of contact. Such a malfunction may be associated with a break in the electrical wiring, oxidation of the outputs, or their burning. If the contact is oxidized, then it needs to be cleaned, if the wire is broken, then it must be restored, if the reason lies in burning, then first you need to eliminate the problem of overvoltage. It is quite possible that the connector simply came out of the socket; this often happens when the plug is poorly secured and constantly driving on uneven roads.
- Battery discharge. This problem most often occurs in the cold season - in the cold, batteries are most susceptible to discharge. If this happens during the warm season, then you need to check the battery charge, the level and density of the electrolyte, as well as the case for damage.
- Circuit break. A malfunction of this type is diagnosed by searching for the damaged area manually or using a tester. The break must be eliminated by replacing the wire, and the replaced wire should also be wrapped with electrical tape - this will create an additional layer of insulation. When laying wires, make sure that they are not exposed to moving mechanisms, otherwise this will lead to another insulation breakdown and breakage.
- Burnout of the safety element. This problem is most relevant for cars that have power surges in their on-board network. If the voltage surges are noticeable, then the fuse simply will not be able to withstand the load, which will lead to its failure.
Differences from the previous model
The design bureau took into account the wishes of customers and tried to completely solve the problems that were typical for modification 3102.
As a result, the car acquired a number of new functions:
- Non-contact ignition was used, which is why the electrical wiring on the GAZ 3110 changed significantly, the changes especially affected the engine compartment. In addition, contacts on electrical appliances were used and improved, since more powerful impulses into the systems caused burnout of old-style components.
All sources of energy consumption in the Volga, in comparison with the 21st model, the system has changed greatly
- The heated rear window could now operate in two modes, which made it possible to provide good visibility in various external conditions.
- The problem of freezing windshield washer nozzles was solved by adding heating to the design; now the system worked even at very low temperatures.
- A headlight range control was also installed, which was controlled by an electric drive.
- In addition, a number of improvements were made to improve the driving and performance characteristics of the model.
Advice! If you need to thoroughly understand all the nuances, it is best to study the instruction manual from the manufacturer; it describes almost all the important points that you should know about.
This book should be in every car of the brand in question.
The difference between an injector and a carburetor
For a long time, only carburetor-type models were produced. Over time, injection ones appeared. Thanks to this, it was possible to achieve certain characteristics, for example, to reduce the amount of fuel consumed. If you follow the theory about internal combustion engines, then the Gazelle 406 carburetor engine begins to work more powerfully with a corresponding increase in the level of rotation of the crankshaft. How can this be achieved? The mechanism is made in such a way that when you press the pedal sharply, the amount of gasoline vapor increases. This, in turn, contributes to an increase in crankshaft speed.
The 406 injection engine (GAZ often used it) operates using a microprocessor. Thanks to it, even with light pressure on the pedal, the driving dynamics of the car will be improved.
