Checking and replacing steering column switches on a Lada Priora VAZ 2170

Manufacturers and prices of analogues

Analogs include frame, frameless, and hybrid brushes.
There are several options on the market. Choose the one that suits you best - no matter whether it has a frame or not. The main thing is not to let the old windshield wiper start to scratch the windshield or rear window. When replacing cleaning brushes, use the following dimensions in millimeters (driver - passenger side):

• 630 – 480;
• 530 – 510;
• 510 – 500.

Other layouts are considered by car owners to be not as effective. Among the well-known analogs of windshield wiper blades are:

• Bosch Aerotwin - frameless, made in Belgium. Full name: Bosch aerotwin retrofitar 532 s. Price – 1200-1300 rubles. The length of the driver's seat is 53 cm, the passenger's length is 50 cm. Sold as a set.
• Bosch Twin is a simpler model. They have the same dimensions, but despite the lower price they are famous for their reliability. The cost is about 800 rubles.
• Bosch Eco is the most economical option. They are inexpensive and sold individually. Price – 300 rubles for one brush. Length – 50 cm.
• Denso Hybrid is recognized as almost the best model on the market. Withstands cold and heat. Price per piece – 500 rubles. Length 50 cm.
• Alca - simple, 500 rubles apiece. The length is 50 cm, but on the passenger side an area of ​​approximately 5 cm wide is left uncovered.

Is it worth changing the stock injectors?

For most motorists who use standard washer options, the issue of replacing them with more advanced models remains quite relevant. It should be understood that replacing a windshield washer nozzle, for example, with a fan nozzle, has both positive and negative sides. The advantages of replacement include the following:

• quick and uniform coverage of the entire glass with cleaning liquid;
• absence of scratches formed when brushes move over dry areas of glass;
• a slight reduction in the consumption of cleaning fluid with proper adjustment of the nozzles themselves.

Among the disadvantages of fan nozzles, it is worth noting a short-term deterioration in visibility caused by the rapid and uniform spraying of a large amount of water onto the glass. Until the brushes brush it off, it will be difficult to see anything in front of the car. Some injectors, especially if they are not adjusted correctly, can leave marks on the hood that the driver will have to wipe off regularly. However, replacing conventional sprinklers with fan sprinklers turns out to be advisable in most cases.

Designations for the rear wiring harness of the VAZ Priora

The wiring harness, located in the passenger compartment and rear of the car, has the shape of a flexible barrel with branches on which contacts are installed with blocks for docking with consumer electrical appliances. The rear electrical circuit is also connected to lighting fixtures, locks, power windows, front and rear doors.

The pinout of tips and terminals looks like this:

The rear wiring harness is marked 2170-3724210.

Lada Kalina steering column switch connector and its replacement

Remove both switches as described above. Now, if the car has an airbag, you need to disconnect the block with wires from the slip ring.

The connector can be removed along with the slip ring, but it is better to describe the complete disassembly process. Therefore, to remove the ring, unscrew the nuts using a screwdriver. You should be careful here, since the slip ring is a very delicate element of a balanced system. If you turn something incorrectly or roughly, there is a chance of disturbing the centralization of the ring during assembly.

Next, you need to disconnect the horn wire block. Use an 8 mm socket to loosen the tension and calmly remove the connector.

We install a new connector for the steering column switches. Next, we carefully assemble the system:

1. Tighten the bolt with an 8 mm socket very gently;
2. We install the connector in a position in which the central fastening screw of the lower masonry could be screwed in;
3. We install the lower masonry in its rightful place and adjust the position of the connector;
4. When the desired position is found, remove the bottom cover and, without moving the connector, tighten the fasteners;
5. Next, we assemble the system using the reverse principle in relation to disassembly.

Pinout of Kalina steering column switches is a simple matter for a person who has at least once taken on the task of repairing or at least disassembling the steering column space. Be careful and don't be overconfident.

How to adjust, remove, clean windshield washer nozzles

Not a single driver will argue with the statement that the windshield of a car should always remain clean. To ensure timely cleaning of the glass, each car is equipped with wipers and a washer, the nozzles of which spray cleaning liquid. The washer is used especially actively in the autumn-spring period, and here the quality of the spray of liquid spraying the windshield comes to the fore.

In case of incorrect spraying, the efficiency of the wipers is noticeably reduced; uncleaned areas remain on the glass, impairing visibility, which directly reduces traffic safety. In addition, the movement of the brushes over dry, unwetted areas of the glass leads to scratches and accelerated wear. To avoid such problems, injectors must be promptly cleaned, adjusted, and, if necessary, replaced.

Replacing the turn switch for a VAZ 2110

A possible replacement of the VAZ 2110 turn switch can be done for a variety of reasons. Owners install new steering column switches even from the standpoint of improving their appearance and changing functionality. When using faulty switches, do not forget about the safety of driving. Even turning off a turn at the wrong time can lead to an emergency.

Functional purpose and possible malfunctions The left steering column switch, which is connected to a contact group located in the control unit, is responsible for the operation of external lighting devices.

Along with the aesthetic component, long-term use of the 10th model can lead to some problems with the functioning of the turn switch:

• uncontrolled switching of low beam to high beam; • failure to return the turn signal lever to its previous value; • hard shifting, sticking, broken shift lever.

Despite the fact that the levers have some disadvantages, their simple replacement and convenient location for the driver make the option of installing new original parts a more preferable option.

Replacement procedure

To quickly and efficiently replace the VAZ 2110 turn switch, you must strictly follow the sequence of operations.

To begin work, disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. Next, perform the following operations:

• release the fastening of the upper and lower parts of the steering column casing by unscrewing two screws each in the lower and upper parts;• unscrew the screw securing the steering column switch block to the casing;• unscrew the screws securing the lower part of the casing to the steering column bracket;• disconnect the connector of the steering column power wiring harness switch; • holding the clamps, remove the steering column switches on each side.

If the device is planned to be replaced with an original part for this model, then further repairs involve the installation of a new unit and reverse assembly operations. In some cases, for example, when it is necessary to replace the VAZ 2110 turn switch together with the windshield wiper control unit, the connector is also removed. To do this, you must additionally disconnect the power wires for the sound signal.

If you plan to install a switch block from another model, for example, from a Lada Priora, then you should pay attention to some points: • matching of the contact connector when connecting; • location of the levers in relation to the steering wheel. Despite the best functionality, various combinations have some disadvantages. For example, when installing levers from a Priora, it is impossible to turn on the right turn signal when the headlights are in high beam mode. When installing a steering wheel from a Lada Kalina with a switch block, such work is more expensive, and the steering wheel cover does not fit

Where is the brake drum located?

The drum is located at the rear of the car and is installed on the rear wheel hub. Many people think that rear brake drums are obsolete and that installing them on cars is not practical, but this is not true. There is no need for disc brakes on light vehicles, since rear drum brakes can easily stop the car. In addition, the cost of disc brakes is much higher than that of drum brakes.

In some small-scale Lada cars, disc brakes were installed from the factory, on models such as the Lada Kalina Sport and Granta Sport.

Connection diagram and setup

In the basic instructions, Starline provides a diagram for the A91 model:

Shown here is the harness going to the dashboard. Let's figure out what is connected where:

1. The diode connected to the wire break must conduct current in the direction “towards the limit switches”;
2. Above we talked about the 1N5401 diode;
3. The second diode connected to the alarm wire may be designated 1N4001 (it is cheaper).

Now let's look at what is in the second bundle, located under the first:

From the two blue cables shown above, make T-shaped bends and extend the cords to the alarm installation location. And a 1N4001 diode is installed in the gap in the handbrake wire. The cathode of this diode “looks” towards the switch. Finally you will make the connections:

• The “green-yellow” and “green-black” wires from connector X3 are connected to the turn signal leads.
• Another tap coming from the cathode is connected to the “brake input” of the Starline A91 Dialog signaling system. The cord is designated as “orange-purple”.

It was discussed how to connect all the signal wires with your own hands. Queue for the security forces.

The steps listed in this chapter can be completed before installing the alarm. The functionality of standard equipment should not be affected.

Connecting the autostart connector

In VAZ 2114 cars, unlike the “nines”, an ignition switch with three terminals is used: 50, 15 and 30. The latter is connected to the battery, and contact 15 closes with it when the key is turned. Well, the 50th terminal is the “output "to the starter. Similar designations are used not only by VAZ.

As for model 2114, the lock escutcheon is secured with three self-tapping screws, as well as three metric screws. Unscrew them and you will see the following:

According to the basic instructions, power for the signaling can be taken from pin 30 (a T-tap is needed). And the “yellow” power cable coming out of connector X1 is connected to terminal 15. Further, if autostart is needed, then:

1. The connections above must withstand significant current (up to 30 A);
2. The “red” wire coming from the ignition switch is broken;
3. The Starline A91 Dialog module is reached by bends coming from the break point;
4. The thin wire from connector X1 should connect to terminal 50, while the power cord in “black and yellow” insulation will become the output to the starter.

Also, as stated in the installation manual, do not forget to cut the gearbox selector loop. The action makes sense if autorun is used.

Those who have an immobilizer activated in their car will have to install a crawler. You can buy a BP-3 unit from Starline to connect it to the “pink” control cord of the alarm:

All those who do not want to break the wire of the standard reader make a crawler with their own hands:

1. The additional loop antenna contains 50 turns of PEL-0.3 wire;
2. The internal antenna of the unit must contain the same number of turns of any wire;
3. Both antennas are combined into a circuit opened by relay contacts.

The instructions cannot be completed here. The method of connecting the tachometer was not considered.

It is clear that the loop antenna will need to be combined with a standard reading device. And all the antennas included with Starline crawlers do not fit well with VAZ immobilizers.

The wire in “black-gray” insulation coming from connector X3 is connected to the high-voltage input of the tachometer (see figure). Your alarm will not burn out as a result, but will be able to control the speed:

All Starline security systems, as it turns out, are well compatible with any VAZ cars. This applies even more so to the A91 Dialog model. By the way, do not forget to connect the “ground” of the main unit (“black” cord of connector X3).

Software setup

We will configure only the functions responsible for autorun. You can activate the programming mode as follows:

1. The security is turned off, the key in the lock is moved to the “0” mark;
2. The Valet button connected to the A91 Dialog main unit is pressed 6 times;
3. After step “3”, turn on the ignition immediately;
4. 6 beeps sound;
5. Use the Valet button to select the function number (see below);
6. To set the required value, press the corresponding key on the key fob.

How to change the turn switch on a Priora

We carry out work when replacing steering column switches, switch connectors, spiral cable drum devices, as well as when removing the steering column and instrument panel. Disconnect the wire terminal from the negative terminal of the battery.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew two self-tapping screws 1 securing the lower steering column casing to the rear bracket of the electric power steering, one self-tapping screw 4 fastening the lower casing to the connector of the steering column switches, two self-tapping screws 2 and two screws 3 connecting the upper and lower steering column casings to each other.

11. Install the steering column switches in the reverse order of removal.

Steering column switches on a Lada Priora car fail quite rarely, but after a mileage of 150 thousand km. or higher, one of them may fail. Most often, it is the left lever that breaks, which controls turning on the turn indicators and switching from high to low beam headlights. Yes, it’s clear here that you have to turn on the turns several dozen times a day, while using the windshield wiper or washer several times a month, or even less often.

Diagnostics

In order to diagnose the drum and understand whether it is suitable for further use on the car or is subject to direct replacement, it is necessary to remove it from the car. After dismantling, it is necessary to evaluate its condition.

The condition of the working surface is assessed first; it should not have large wear, deep grooves from the pads, cracks or chips.

The next stage of testing will be to measure the internal diameter of the working surface. If the diameter of the inner surface of the drum is no more than 201.5 mm, then it can be used further for its intended purpose. In order to measure the internal diameter of the working surface, you need to use a caliper or a regular student ruler.

Fuse box in the passenger compartment of VAZ-2170, -2171, -2172

The fuse box in Priora is located at the bottom of the dashboard, on the left side of the steering wheel. To get to it, you need to open the cover, which is held on by three latches. Rotate each locking knob 90 degrees and pull the lid down and it will snap open.

Fuses in the interior mounting block

F1 (25 A) - radiator cooling fan. If your fan does not work, check its motor by applying 12 V directly to it from the battery. If the engine is working properly, then most likely the problem is in the wiring or connectors. Check the serviceability of relay K1.

The fan in the Priora usually turns on at a temperature of 105-110 degrees. Do not allow the engine to overheat, watch the arrow of the temperature sensor.

If the fan runs constantly and does not turn off, check the coolant temperature sensor located on the thermostat. If you remove the connector from the working sensor, the fan should turn on. Check the wiring to this temperature sensor, as well as the contacts of relay K1, move this relay, clean the contacts. If this is the case, replace it with a new relay.

F3 (10 A) - high beam, right headlight. F4 (10 A) - high beam, left headlight. If the headlights do not shine on high beam, check the K7 relay and the headlight bulbs. The steering column switch, wiring or connectors may also be faulty.

F5 (10 A) - sound signal.

If the signal does not work when you press the steering wheel button, check relay K8. The signal itself is located under the radiator grille; you can get to it by removing the plastic casing from above. Check it by connecting the voltage to 12 V. If it doesn’t work, try turning the adjusting screw, or replace it with a new one.

F6 (7.5 A) - low beam, left headlight. F7 (7.5 A) - low beam, right headlight. When replacing lamps, be careful; there are separate lamps for the low and high beams, so they can be easily confused. It is better not to install lamps in high-power headlights; the reflectors may melt and the desired effect will not be achieved. Most low beam headlight problems that cannot be corrected by conventional means can be related to the light control module (LCM). The low beam relay is only available in cars equipped with a light sensor, it is located in the place of relay K1; on most cars this relay is not in the mounting block; the low beam circuit goes through the MUS block. It happens that the tracks in the block burn out; if there are problems, it is better to replace it with a new one. If the windshield wipers turn on spontaneously when the low beam is not working correctly, the problem is most likely in the windshield wiper control unit, located in the center of the dashboard, the topmost block, next to the radio, is best reached from the glove compartment, or by hand through the removed console covers at the feet.

F8 (10 A) - alarm signal. If the alarm does not work, also check relay K9.

F9 (25 A) - stove fan.

If your stove does not work in any mode, the problem may be with the stove speed controller or with the engine. Check the stove motor by applying 12 V voltage directly to it. If it does not work, remove it, open the cover and check the condition of the brushes. If the stove does not work only in the first modes, but works in the last mode, most likely you need to replace the heater resistance, located under the hood on the fan scroll.

The price of these resistors is about 200 rubles. Also check that the filter and all pipes are clean and that air flows normally into the stove. If the stove fan squeaks or turns with difficulty, try lubricating it. If the stove turns on and off, check the connectors and contacts in them, they could have melted or oxidized, in this case, replace the connector.

If the car has an air conditioner, the thermal fuse may burn out; it is located near the additional resistance; the fan fuse in the configuration with the air conditioner is located under the hood in the power fuse box.

F10 (7.5 A) - instrument panel, interior lights, brake lights.

If your instrument needles and gauges on the panel stop working, most likely the problem is in the connector that fits it. Check to see if it has fallen out and inspect its contacts. It may also be due to burnout of the tracks on the panel board. In this case, you need to disassemble the panel and inspect it. It can be easily disassembled by unscrewing the screws on top under the trim, on the bottom near the fuse cover and on the side.

Cleaning injectors - can you do it yourself?

Before you clean the windshield washer spray arms, you should make sure that their poor performance is due to clogging, since a weak jet can be caused by either a leak in the system or problems with the pump. The use of plain water and low-quality glass cleaning fluid often leads to the deposition of solid sediment on the nozzle nozzle. As a rule, after self-cleaning, the atomization quality can be restored. To do this, you can use a compressor, a syringe and a pin or thin fishing line.

Cleaning with a compressor

Before cleaning the windshield washer nozzles in this way, they should be disconnected from the supply hoses and washed thoroughly using soapy water. You can use a brush to remove external debris from the nozzle area. After this, you should connect the compressor hose to the nozzle nozzle and turn on the device. For effective cleaning, it is enough to keep the compressor turned on for 15-30 seconds.

Syringe cleaning

Less effective method, but suitable for frequent use. Before starting work, the injectors should also be disconnected from the system. rinsing will be more effective if you use water with various additives - citric acid or household chemicals. Washing is carried out in the opposite direction, i.e. the liquid is poured through the nozzle.

Pin/line cleaning

The least effective method, suitable only for cleaning on the go. Using a thin needle or fishing line, you can only remove dirt near the nozzle itself - if it has accumulated deep in the nozzle, such measures will not have any effect. After cleaning, you should also rinse the nozzle with plenty of clean water.
