Windshield wipers work slowly, trapeze repair
In a previous article I wrote about replacing the trapezoid and motor, and did this along with one necessary repair.
Last night, when I turned on the wipers on my Kalina, I noticed that they practically did not move. In short, they were barely crawling on the glass, although a couple of days ago everything was fine! At first I thought that the problem was in the wiper blades, but when I bent the arms a little, I realized that the blades had nothing to do with it. It was decided to remove this entire structure from the car and see what was the matter. So, the first thing you need to do is remove the Kalina wiper trapeze. Then, having disconnected it from the motor, try how easily its levers move by hand. In my case, one side (the driver's wiper) moved normally, but the other side moved with such force that I was even surprised how the motor was even able to move this lever. In order to solve the problem with the slow operation of the wipers, it is necessary to remove the shaft with the splines that is difficult to move. In general, to do all this, you will need:
- Pliers
- Penetrating lubricant
- Litol lubricant or similar
- Hammer
- Thin screwdriver
So, the first thing you need to do is use pliers or your hands, if possible, to remove the rubber band from the shaft, as shown clearly below:
Then use a thin screwdriver to pry up and remove the retaining ring, as shown in the photo:
And we take out all the washers that are mounted on the shaft, there are several of them:
To begin with, now you can simply try spraying penetrating lubricant on the shaft, perhaps it will penetrate inside the hole and help ease the movement:
If this does not help, as was the case in my case, then it is necessary to knock the shaft out of the seat of the trapezoid body. To do this, screw a nut onto the shaft thread and gently hit it with a hammer, thereby knocking it out:
As a result, we get the following picture:
As you can see, a strange coating has formed on it, which must be removed with fine sandpaper, as I did:
And lubricate the shaft with thick lubricant, I personally used lithol:
And after this has been done, you can insert the shaft back into the trapezoid body and try how easily it can move there. Personally, in my case, everything immediately went like clockwork. After installation, the wipers began to work perfectly, even better than in the last few months.

Are the rods the wiper arms or the leash?
Do I hit the brushes on the counter? ¶
Well then everything is clear.

It’s just that before replacing, you should have noticed the position of the gearbox shaft on the trapezoid body, you didn’t do that, and that’s why this shit happened now ¶
Possible causes of the malfunction and ways to eliminate them
When the windshield wiper is on, the electric drive does not work:
Fuse blown:
- remove the cover located to the left of the driver, under the steering column, under it there is a mounting block;
- on the cover of the mounting block there is a diagram of the location of the relays and fuses of the car, we find the required fuse and change it if necessary;
Relay fault:

If the wipers on the Lada Kalina do not work
in intermittent mode, it is necessary to change the relay located in the mounting block, next to the fuses.
Wiper motor malfunction:
- we check the ground terminal of the electric motor, screwed to the car body next to the rack;
- we clean it and the attachment point;
- install in place;
VAZ 1117 If this does not have a result, disconnect the connector for the electric drive of the windshield wiper, located under the windshield frame.
Using a tester or any other continuity test, we check whether power is coming to the connector. If power comes in, then it is necessary to change the wiper motor.
Disconnect the terminals from the battery. Remove the decorative caps from the leashes. Unscrew the nuts securing the leads and remove them. Remove the plastic grille under the windshield frame by unscrewing the bolts that secure it. Having unscrewed the trapezoid fastening (two bolts and one nut), remove the electric motor from the box and disconnect it from the trapezoid. We install a new one, repeating the procedure in reverse order.
If power does not come to the connector
, the steering column switch needs to be replaced. Disconnect the battery terminals. Remove the plastic steering column cover. Disconnect the switch block and, pressing the latches on both sides, remove the steering column wiper switch. Install a new one by repeating the process in reverse order. Assembling the casing.
When turned on, the wipers on Kalina do not work, but the electric drive rotates
It is necessary to check the condition of the gearbox and wiper trapezoid.
Unscrew the plastic grill under the windshield frame. First remove the wiper arms and unscrew the nuts that secure them. We check whether the gearbox axis of the electric windshield wiper drive rotates.
If the axis rotates and the trapezoid is stationary
, check the spline connection of the gearbox and trapezoid, if necessary, tighten the fastening nut. If the connection is severely worn, it is necessary to replace this unit.
If your windshield wipers do not work on your Lada Kalina
, this is not a reason to despair. As a rule, the cause is a minor malfunction. Such as a blown fuse or a loose nut on the spline connection between the gearbox and the windshield wiper drive, which can simply be tightened.
The windshield wiper electric drive system is quite reliable and does not require special maintenance. It is enough to follow basic operating rules. If during the winter period the wipers are frozen to the windshield, then before turning on the windshield wiper, it is necessary to free them from ice. And they will serve you without causing any problems.

Replacing wipers on Kalina Avto-Gid
Lada Kalina Hatchback UltraViolet Logbook -062- How to drain antifreeze
Car wipers (we are talking about the windshield wipers themselves, not the blades) are usually durable parts. They are almost not affected by aggressive factors - except moisture. For this reason, they can easily serve without replacement for the entire time that the car is in use. However, occasionally they still have to be dismantled. In particular, this must be done if, for example, you plan to replace the windshield. The procedure for removing wipers is not at all complicated, but car services will charge you money for it, which may be useful for other purposes. In this article we will tell you how to remove windshield wipers in the correct way using the example of a 1st generation Lada Kalina car.
Tools and materials:
To remove the windshield wiper you will need:
- Head or key 13, new front wiper arms, if you change them (articles: 11180-5205065-00 on the driver’s side and 11180-5205066-00 on the passenger’s side) - for front wipers;
- A wrench for 10, a new rear wiper arm, if you change it (article: 11170-6313150-00 or 11190-6313150-00 depending on the body type - station wagon or hatchback) - for the rear wiper.
Replacing front wipers on Kalina
Before you start dismantling the wipers, remember that it is better to do this on the driver’s side with the head, and on the passenger side with the key, otherwise there is a risk of scratching the hood. However, if you are careful, the hood will not be damaged regardless of the tool used.
1) First of all, remove the plugs from the plastic. You will see nuts under them.
2) Take the head (wrench) and unscrew the nut. There will be a washer under it, pull it out immediately, otherwise it may get lost during the process of removing the wiper.
3) Then remove the windshield wiper. That's all.
4) It should be noted that before removal it is worth remembering, or even better, photographing exactly how the wipers were located on the glass. When you put them back, this information will be useful to you. If you put them in the wrong position, they can hit the pad below during operation, scratching it and damaging the brushes.
5) Install the windshield wipers in the reverse order.
Replacing rear wipers on Kalina
This procedure is only relevant for owners of a Lada Kalina hatchback or station wagon, since sedans were not equipped with a rear wiper. Remembering the location of the wiper will be useful here too, so take the time to take a photo of it before removing it.
1) First, lift up the metal cap that covers the nut.
2) Take a 10mm wrench and unscrew the nut. Just like on the front, there will be a washer under the nut, don't forget to remove it. Rock the wiper back and forth and pull it towards you, it will come off quite easily.
3) Reinstallation is carried out as usual, in the reverse order of removal.
Lada Kalina Universal Zubatka › Logbook › Rear wiper - his name is NeSkuchaika!
A year ago I REPLACED the rear wiper arm. It worked well, but something went wrong... Everything in a low-cost car is tolerable and normal, but the rear wiper in the Kalina2 pissed me off! In the end, I changed it a little more. And he got me there slowly, persistently and methodically! And because of this, a blog post appeared!
1.
Somewhere in the fall of 17th, the rains began, it became usually dirty in Yekaterinburg... And
the rear wiper began to bite
. A typical situation - the first swing was normal (back and forth), on the second swing, halfway there or there - it stopped. At first this happened rarely, then more and more often... Solution:
replacement of gear motor
rear wiper under warranty.
2.
Later (a couple of months after the replacement), during a trip to the Adzhigardak mountain resort it was very dirty on the road, this wiper again “snapped” a couple of times and then
stopped working altogether
!
here my teeth began to shake with anger
, contact lost. It was poorly fixed when replacing the gearmotor. Solution:
Secure the contacts conscientiously when replacing the gearmotor
. The dealer corrected his own mistake at his own expense. (they said that it was done by a new person). In general, admitting and correcting mistakes is a good thing. And whoever doesn’t work is not mistaken. Anything can happen, no complaints to the dealer.
3.
It’s spring, ice has formed on the windshield wiper. I turned on the heated rear window and started cleaning it, and the rubber brush flew off! I looked in the mirror, said goodbye to it and drove off - thinking, well, here’s a reason to buy a new one
( 2 ratings, average 4 out of 5 )
I did it myself. The windshield wipers don't work. I did it myself.

Hello!
With the purchase of Kalina, the problem of non-working wipers arose. More precisely, a floating problem, sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. I started to blame the mass that was not tightened, I found current in 2 places, I cleaned them and tightened them: It turned out that the masses were not tightened, the pin and the area around it were well painted.
Tightening the available masses certainly did not help. Well, okay, let's act. I decided to remove the trapezoid, lubricate it and lay a separate wire to the gearmotor.
To remove the trapezoid you must:
- Unscrew the wiper arms. To do this, remove the caps by simply prying them off with a screwdriver. We unscrew the nut with a size 13 wrench and remove the leash by shaking it. It is highly advisable to mark the position, for example, with a thin marker or nail:
- Then, using the star wrench, unscrew the 4 screws and remove the decorative trim under the windshield:
- Remove the trapeze. It is secured with 2 nuts and one bolt, here we need a 10mm wrench:
- Next, it is advisable to mark the position of the motor axis relative to the trapezoid. Otherwise it will be excruciatingly painful. Remove the black protective caps and lock washer from the trapezoid, and pull out the axle. I smeared it with lithol.
Reassemble in reverse order. During assembly, I screwed on the additional mass and threw it onto the body. The wipers run and make you happy. I also changed the windshield washer nozzles. They didn’t fit quite tightly, so I made gaskets from tin to make them stand tightly. Now the wipers are fast and 4 streams wash the glass.
Good luck!
Windshield wiper control
The windshield wiper is controlled using a special switch mounted on the steering column of the car. With its help, the wipers not only turn on and off, but can operate in different modes. This allows you to adjust the speed of the windshield wiper blade depending on weather conditions. VAZ-2109 cars have three modes:
- intermittent;
- constant low speed wipers;
- constant with high speed wipers.
It often happens that the VAZ-2109 does not work with windshield wipers in only one of the modes, so it is important to know not only the design features of the windshield wiper, but also the mechanism for controlling its operation.
See:
Intermittent wiper operation is activated in the first (working) and second positions of the shift lever. Its operation is ensured by relay type 526.3747. It is located in the vehicle's assembly block and is designated "K3" on the electronic circuit diagram. This relay also turns on the windshield wipers when the windshield washer and rear window washer are activated.
In the third position, the purifier operates in constant mode at low speed. To switch to constant high-speed wiper mode, there is a fourth lever position.
Why wipers work slowly on Lada Priora and how to speed them up
March 30, 2016 LadaOnline 37 906 3
Many Priora owners notice that over time the wipers begin to work slowly. The speed has decreased several times and does not rise even when cleaning the wet windshield. Let's look at the main reasons for slow wipers, as well as ways to solve this problem.
The main reason for slow Priora wipers is the lack of lubrication:
- in the windshield wiper motor;
- on the hinges of the windshield wiper trapezoid.
Try to use a lubricant that does not thicken at low temperatures. The trapezoid with the motor can be removed, like on a VAZ 2110.
If lubrication of the motor and trapezoid does not help, we recommend using the modification. The Priora windshield wiper circuit consists of a large number of connections and contacts, each of which creates additional resistance. As a result, the power of the motor decreases, and the Priora's wipers work slowly. This problem can be eliminated with the help of modifications that will minimize current losses.
Required:
- 5-pin connector, like on the windshield wiper motor;
- 5-pin relay with socket - 3 pieces;
- wires 25 mm2;
- round terminals.
We assemble and connect the structure according to the diagram. That is, the resulting block of three relays is installed in the gap in the windshield wiper motor connector without interfering with the standard wiring
We recommend that you pay special attention to the insulation of the wires, and it is better to close the assembled structure in a box to prevent the ingress of moisture and dirt

As a result, the windshield wiper blades will work faster than before. You can compare the speed of the wipers using the video clip (1 - before modification, 2 - after modification):
Have you encountered a problem when the windshield wipers started working slowly on a Priora? How did you manage to increase their speed? Let us remind you that on the website you can also find instructions in case the windshield wiper blades do not work at all. Did you know that you can increase the cleaning area of your windshield by installing larger blades.

Original sizes of brushes on Grant
The length of the driver's windshield wiper is 600 mm. The length of the passenger wiper is 410 mm. Fastening type - “hook” (in English hook).
Foreign manufacturers indicate the length of the windshield wiper in inches, so the suitable length for a passenger blade is 16″. Sixteen inches - 406 mm, probably because of this, brushes with lengths of both 40 and 41 cm can be installed on the right side of the Granta. If desired, you can install a passenger windshield wiper up to 45 cm, but I would recommend staying in the range of 400...410 mm.
I have added brush article numbers to the selection: they will help you find specific products in stores that sell auto parts (this is faster and, most likely, cheaper). Also, the articles will allow you to avoid compromises in the form of several centimeters in the length of the brushes - choose only what is made specifically for your car.
Finally, a comparison of prices for windshield wipers.
Repair of windshield wiper motor gearbox Lada Granta
To disassemble the gearmotor, unscrew the screws securing the gearbox cover 6 and remove it together with the limit switch panel 4.
Then unscrew the screws securing the gearbox housing 11 to the electric motor housing 8 and disconnect them.
Remove armature 9 of the electric motor.
To remove gear 3 of the gearbox, unscrew the crank nut, remove the retaining ring from the axle and remove the axle with gear and washers from the housing.
After disassembly, blow out the internal cavities of the electric motor with compressed air to remove carbon dust deposits and check the condition of the brushes and commutator.
The brushes must move freely in the brush holders without jamming, and the springs must be intact and have sufficient elasticity.
Clean the commutator with fine-grained sandpaper and then wipe with a clean rag lightly greased with petroleum jelly.
If the collector is severely burnt or worn out, it is better to replace the gearmotor with a new one. Check for signs of jamming on the armature shaft journals.
If necessary, sand them with fine-grained sandpaper.
When assembling, move the brushes away from the commutator so as not to break them or damage their edges, and insert the armature into the body with extreme caution, avoiding hitting the armature on the poles so as not to break them. After assembly, to align the bearings, tap the gear motor housing with a wooden hammer, and then check it on the stand
After assembly, to align the bearings, tap the gear motor housing with a wooden hammer, and then check it on a stand.
When installing the crank, position it so that in its final position it is parallel to the short wiper rod and pointed towards the electric motor.
Data for checking the gearmotor
Rotation speed of the gearmotor shaft at a supply voltage of 14 V, a load torque of 1.47 Nm (0.15 kgf m) and an ambient temperature of 25±10 °C, min -1:
— first (small) 30–40
— second (large) 55–70
Current consumption at the above load torque, A, no more than:
— at first speed 3.5
— at second speed 5
If the brush springs are damaged or have lost their elasticity, replace them.
Check the ease of movement of the brushes in the brush holder.
They should move freely without jamming.
Replace worn or chipped brushes.
When replacing, solder the leads of the new brushes to the brush holder.
Clean the collector with fine sandpaper if it is dirty or has marks, scratches, etc.
If the commutator is badly worn or burnt, replace the armature or gearbox with electric motor assembly.
If you find traces of jamming on the armature journals, clean the journals with fine sandpaper.
Replace a gear that has severely worn or broken teeth.
Clean burnt or oxidized contacts of the self-stop mechanism with fine sandpaper.
How does a windshield wiper work?
A worm is cut into the front end of the motor rotor, which engages and controls the main gear of the gearbox. When the windshield wiper is turned on, motor voltage is supplied to the vehicle's on-board circuit. At the same time, its shaft begins to rotate, activating the gearbox. He, in turn, moves the levers, the ends of which are brought to the surface of the sleeping body panel and connected to the windshield wiper caps. One of the ends of the gearbox shaft is equipped with a special cam that controls the moving contact of the windshield wiper limiter in the extreme position.
Possible causes of problems
Some experts argue that if the windshield wiper blades do not work when turned on, then the most common reason for this is a failed fuse. In this case, no special efforts will be required to fix the problem. You just need to open the fuse box cover (on the left under the steering column) and find the appropriate fuse. A diagram printed on the inside of the lid will help you do this.
If the wipers do not work intermittently, then the relay may have failed. It is located in the same place as the fuses. It needs to be replaced with a new one. But, as statistics provided by owners of Lada cars show, fuses or relays blow out quite rarely.
A very common reason why the Lada Kalina windshield wiper blades do not work is the destruction of the bushings. As experienced drivers say, plastic bushings fall apart very quickly - their service life is at most 3 years.
The windshield wiper does not respond to switching or switching modes
If you try to turn on the windshield wiper, but your VAZ-2109 windshield wipers do not work, and when you switch the lever, you cannot hear the relay clicking or the sound of the electric motor running, the cause may be either in the switch or in the relay or in the fuses.
In this case, you must first check the integrity of the wiper. It is located in the mounting block and is designated F5. You can check it with a multimeter set to tester mode. Then move on to the bimetallic fuse installed in the purifier gearbox. If the wipers stop working on a VAZ-2109 in winter, this may be the reason. This fuse has been supplemented by the latest modifications of the Nine. Its role is to protect the motor from overheating in cases where the brushes are primed to the glass. Check it with the same multimeter that is in tester mode.
Then go to the relay. As mentioned, it is located in the assembly block and is designated "K3". We find the relay, remove it from the seat, and in its place we place the well-known breaker. Check the operation of the windshield wiper. If it works, we buy a new relay. If everything remains the same, we continue troubleshooting.
As for the switch itself, it is very difficult to independently verify its operation. It has a fairly complex design, so it is easier to replace it with a known worker rather than trying to restore it. By the way, if you do not work with windshield wipers and turn on the VAZ-2109 signals, you can be sure that the problem is in the steering column switch.
