VAZ 2110 cigarette lighter does not work: how to remove and replace

This device is rarely used in a car for its intended purpose, for lighting cigarettes. However, it is popular even among non-smoking drivers. Other devices can be operated from the cigarette lighter socket. Most often they connect to the socket:

video recorder for recording movement;
fan;
additional power bank for powering a phone, tablet or laptop, charger for these devices;
navigation system;
compressor for inflating tires.

Therefore, failure of a part or fuse can lead to a lot of inconvenience for the car owner. Read the article about why the cigarette lighter in the VAZ 2110 model does not work, how to check it, find out the cause of the breakdown and carry out repairs.

VAZ 2110 cigarette lighter diagram

The device is powered through car wiring. The VAZ 2110 cigarette lighter connection diagram is shown in the photo. The pinout of the device is as follows: three wires come to the device - two positive and one negative.

Red, positive – connected to the cigarette lighter battery through fuse F18. The circuit current is 25 amperes, and if this parameter is exceeded, the protective element burns out.
Yellow. The positive wire is responsible for the cigarette lighter lamp.
Black, minus. It comes to the cigarette lighter body, and the other end is a mass powered through the car body.

The fuse must have blown

An element can fail for various reasons.
Most often this is a short circuit or connecting too powerful devices. This segment is protected by a 12 amp fuse. This means that the maximum power of the connected devices is 120 Watts (P=I (12 volts) *A (10 amperes). A hint that it is the protective element that needs to be changed will be a non-working socket for a portable lamp, a faulty clock. Replacing the cigarette lighter fuse VAZ 2105 is easy to do - you need to get to the mounting block, pull out the element and install a new one. It is located under the hood, on the right side along the direction of the car (see photo). There is a diagram on the top cover, and inside there are tweezers that make it easy to pull out the parts. We remove element number F6, rated 10 amperes.

The old-style mounting block contains ancient cylindrical fuses. New models are equipped with modern knife parts. When installing, be sure to install a fuse with a rating of 10 amperes. Otherwise, if a short circuit occurs, the cables will overheat, the insulation will melt, and there is a risk of fire in the wiring.

VAZ 2110 cigarette lighter does not work: reasons

Over time, any part can fail. Before you replace it with a new one or repair it yourself, you should understand the reasons why the VAZ 2110 cigarette lighter or its backlight does not work. A list of the most common faults and methods for solving them is presented below.

Fuse burned out

One of the most common cigarette lighter malfunctions is a worn-out protective element.
The circuit current for normal operation of the fuse should not exceed the parameter 25 amperes. This fuse is located in the mounting block. When connecting one or more powerful devices to the cigarette lighter socket, this parameter may exceed the specified value and burn out. At the same time, along with the fuse, the glove box illumination lamp and the heater fan will stop working. To make repairs, you need to open the hood where the mounting block is located, check the serviceability of the fuse and replace the element with number F18.

We climb into the center console

Another reason why the VAZ cigarette lighter does not work is bad wiring contacts or a running short circuit.
If the fuse begins to blow out frequently and has to be replaced, this is also an indirect sign of such a breakdown. You will need to remove the facing panel and inspect the integrity of the cigarette lighter contacts and wires. Here you need to check the three-pin connection connector. Make sure the connection is tight. Then you need to check the safety of the wires. There should be no burnt windings or creases or open circuits that will cause the fuse to trip.

Let's inspect the wiring and contacts of the cigarette lighter

The reason why the device stopped working is the appearance of oxides or rust. There are contacts inside the cigarette lighter that can oxidize or corrode over time. Due to loose contact, the device will not work correctly. In this case, replacing the cigarette lighter is not required. It is enough to pull out the device, clean and bend the metal antennae of the contacts.

Possible burnout of the spiral

Inside the VAZ 2110 cigarette lighter there is a metal element that can fail with age or due to increased load. If the spiral burns out and the fuse trips, repairs can only be made by installing a new part.

Problems with the cigarette lighter and their elimination

Very often, especially in cases of constant operation or increased loads on the connector, the device fails. In some of these cases, the only solution will be to replace the VAZ 2114 cigarette lighter, while in others, you can try to fix this problem by repairing it.

Before you begin dismantling the cigarette lighter or starting to repair it, you should check the reliability of the connection of the wiring harness suitable for it. This can be done by checking the tightness of the fasteners in the block (it is designated as X1).

Cigarette lighter disassembled

Among the main breakdowns that occur with a device such as a cigarette lighter are the following:

poor contact in the connector;
oxidation of connector contacts;
fuse blown;
burning or melting of connector contacts;
backlight bulb burnout;
a short circuit in the system that occurs when third-party devices are connected;
mechanical destruction of the connector.

In the first three cases, you can still try to correct the situation, in the rest you will have to dismantle the device and, except in the case of a burnt-out light bulb, purchase and install a new one in its place (it should be immediately recalled that before changing the cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2114, you should disconnect the battery ).

As for poor contact inside the connector or the presence of oxides, you can try to solve this problem by slightly bending the contacts themselves and cleaning them. If a fuse blows, you just need to replace it with a new, similar one (the fuse you are looking for is designated in the row of fuses as F4 and is designed for a maximum current of 20 amperes).

Replacing the cigarette lighter VAZ 2110

To carry out the work you will need to stock up on suitable tools. You will need:

Screwdriver Set;
blowtorch with solder;
protective gloves;
multitester or 12 volt lamp;
insulating tape.

Before replacing a non-working VAZ 2110 cigarette lighter, you need to buy a working part. There are different options for the car. A standard long device has a number of disadvantages: poor contacts, unpresentable appearance.

Therefore, drivers prefer short Euro models. Their price ranges between 400-800 rubles, depending on the manufacturer. It is advisable to choose an original part. Installing such a car cigarette lighter yourself is not difficult - detailed instructions are shown in the video.

Rules for safe use of the cigarette lighter

The device requires some care. To avoid the need for an unscheduled cigarette lighter replacement, you should adhere to the following rules:

It is prohibited to connect devices with a total power of more than 120 watts (compressors for inflating wheels, kettles) into the socket;
It is prohibited to install a fuse designed for a current greater than 10 amperes or install paper clips or wires instead of a protective element;
It is not allowed to close the contacts with a screwdriver or other metal objects;
It is periodically necessary to carry out preventive work, cleaning the contact areas from plaque or oxides, and bending the fixing tendrils.

How to properly remove the cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2110

The disassembly process is as follows:

Open the hood and remove the negative terminal from the car battery. This will de-energize the system and eliminate the possibility of a short circuit during repairs.
It is necessary to remove the plastic trim on the center console. To do this, unscrew the fastening bolts.
Afterwards we get access to the wiring blocks. Disconnect the three-pin cigarette lighter connector.
We dismantle the facing lining under the parking brake, gaining access to the tunnel mounting bolts.
We unscrew them and then remove the plastic casing.
Pull out the car cigarette lighter socket to disassemble it. To do this, you will need to tighten the latches and carefully remove the metal cartridge.

How to connect the device to a cigarette lighter without a plug

Some owners decide to abandon the device itself and prefer to install other devices directly. To connect the device directly without a plug you will need:

We dismantle the car cigarette lighter, gaining access to the cables.
We connect the wires of the installed device, observing the polarity.
We carry out the assembly.

A constant minus. Comes to the car body.
A constant plus. Connects through a fuse to the battery.
Plus, coming up to the backlight bulb.

The process of dismantling the seat is carried out in the same way.

We de-energize the system by removing the negative terminal from the battery.
It is necessary to disassemble the side cover to disconnect the wiring plug.
Dismantle the gearbox casing and parking brake tunnel.
We bend the plastic screen so as to pry off the fixing tabs.
We remove the cigarette lighter socket through the opening with the wiring block.
We inspect the device and proceed to replacement.

Troubleshooting

The easiest way to solve the problem of a faulty cigarette lighter is to take your car to a service station for repairs. But is it worth doing this if the work itself is not complicated, and the costs for the services of specialists can be significant?

Sometimes it's better to do everything yourself.

Now let's look at each of the presented breakdowns and replace the elements in more detail.

Replacing the fuse

Checking the functionality of the fuse is quite easy. To do this, you need to turn on the heating fan. If it doesn't work, then the cigarette lighter won't work either. This is because both devices are connected to the same fuse.

Replacement of an element is carried out as follows:

Remove the mounting block cover. To do this, simply press the special latch with your fingers;

Using tweezers, remove the blown fuse;

Place the new element in place in the same way. First make sure that you have purchased the correct part that matches the characteristics of your VAZ 2110.

If the fan is working, it is obvious that the fuse is also intact. Therefore, there is no need to replace it.

Instead, look for the cause of the problem in the wiring that connects the mounting block and your cigarette lighter.

This requires a thorough check of the wires, contacts, that is, the entire circuit. There may be a short circuit or break somewhere.

Be sure to wear protective rubber gloves when checking the electrical circuit, since you may need to use metal tools during the diagnostic process.

The light bulb on a VAZ 2110 is also not a rare problem with a device malfunction. To replace it, you don’t need to have any special skills. Just carry out the work in a strict sequence of operations; for clarity, you can watch the training video.

Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery located in the engine compartment of your car.
Remove the lining.
Squeeze the light bulb screen so that the arms can come out of the slot.
Now the element unclenches a little, thereby removing it along with the cartridge.
The light bulb is rotated 90 degrees and then removed from the socket.
Arm yourself with a new bulb, insert it into the socket, and then follow the assembly procedure. It completely corresponds to the reverse dismantling sequence.
To replace the backlight bulb in the cigarette lighter of a VAZ 2110, A 12-4 devices must be used.

Repairing a broken cigarette lighter

Sometimes replacement is not necessary. In some situations, you can carry out repairs yourself. Inside the car cigarette lighter itself is a small mica plate. This is a semiconductor that often fails. It needs to be removed. After this, it is worth assembling the device and then checking that it is working correctly.

Often you just need to treat oxidized contacts or solder fallen wires.

Instructions for replacing the backlight lamp

If you need to carry out this procedure, then you should act according to a certain scheme.

Turn off the ignition, and then remove the wires from the battery.
To get to the lamp, we dismantle the plastic lining inside the cabin.
Disconnect the gearbox and parking brake housing.
We take out the car cigarette lighter along with the backlight.
Squeeze the screen to remove the metal tendrils.
We rotate them 90 degrees, and then remove the lamp from its seat.
We install the new element, and then carry out the assembly. When connecting, you should use A 12-4 lamps.

A detailed video on how to remove a VAZ 2110 model device with your own hands is presented above.

How to check the cigarette lighter?

When the cigarette lighter fails, it is customary to check the fuse first; it is located in the fuse block and is indicated by the inscription F18 or the corresponding pictogram. The maximum permissible current that a fuse can pass through itself is no more than 25 amperes.

check the cigarette lighter in another way - try turning on the heater fan. You may ask, where is the connection? My answer is that the fact is that the fan and the cigarette lighter “hang” on the same fuse, so if the problem lies in the fuse. then the fan will not work. If your fan is functioning, then fuse F18 has absolutely nothing to do with it, and the fault most likely lies in the wiring that goes from the fuse block to the cigarette lighter. However, before you start removing the cigarette lighter, I advise you to check fuse F6; in rare cases, this fuse can affect the operation of the cigarette lighter. If it burns out the cigarette lighter may stop working.

Is it worth making an additional cigarette lighter?

Many drivers install a second socket on their car. This will increase the number of potentially connected devices. But we must remember that the electrical system will experience heavy loads and the fuse may trip. Therefore, it is important to connect all wires correctly.

It is necessary to connect the new connector through a fuse to avoid melting the wires. You will need to cut a separate hole in the interior or trunk. An alternative to this method is to purchase a splitter that plugs into a standard socket.

Cigarette lighter not from ignition

There is a way to connect directly to the car battery. This scheme has advantages: if you connect the cigarette lighter directly to the battery, you can avoid interfering with the wiring itself and the fuse. The work will take less time; the positive cables should be led directly to the battery, and the negative cables should be attached to the car body.

It is also important to remember that you need to select the right spare parts. Initially, this concerns the wires. Each square millimeter of cross-section is designed for 5-10 amperes of current. Should be taken with reserve. A cross-section of 3–5 mm is quite sufficient to transmit the required voltage. Otherwise, the wires may burn and the fuse will trip. This will result in a risk of short circuit. The circuit should be routed through an additional fuse with a rating specified by the manufacturer.

What types of sockets and cigarette lighter connectors are there?

The car cigarette lighter appeared much earlier than the socket. The device was patented back in 1921, but its serial installation on cars began a few years later. In 1956, a simple automatic device was developed based on a bimetallic self-releasing gripper. In the same year, the dimensions of the PA socket were unified and specified in the SAE J563 standard, and they are still used today.

Despite the unification of dimensions, vehicles can be equipped with two standard sizes of PA:

Socket A. The internal diameter of this socket is 20.91 mm, a deviation of 0.04 mm up or down is allowed. In such a cigarette lighter socket with alligator clips you can install a device whose body size is 20.805 mm with an error of 0.075 mm.
Socket B. Its dimensions are slightly larger - 21.455 mm, an error of 0.045 mm is allowed. As for the PA itself, its diameter for installation in such a socket should be 21.18 mm. In this case, an error of 0.05 mm on the smaller side or 0.15 mm on the larger side is allowed.

Features of using the cigarette lighter

What nuances should be taken into account when operating the PA:

When charging mobile gadgets or navigators via PA, touch the adapter from time to time to assess its temperature. If the device is too hot, then it is better to disconnect it from the on-board network.
If there is no need, then do not connect powerful gadgets - kettles, vacuum cleaners, etc. - to the on-board network via the PA. Another thing is a car compressor. Its short-term operation is allowed, especially since it is not used so often.
There is no point in buying splitters for three or more sockets, because there is only one safety element for the PA and it may not withstand such a load.
The spiral cable of the device connected to the PA should not be stretched.
When you leave your car, always unplug the connector. After all, not on all vehicles the power in the PA is turned off when the ignition is turned off. So the next time you try to start the engine, you may encounter the problem of a dead battery. Moreover, in this case there is a higher probability of a short circuit in the electrical circuit; accordingly, this can lead to more dire consequences, for example, a fire.

Cigarette lighter installation tool

The main thing is to connect the device correctly and observe the polarity. Replacing the standard VAZ clock with a digital one The regular clock is not informative enough, and it looks too standard.

If the cigarette lighter breaks down, it must be disassembled and repaired. The cigarette lighter itself is a metal cartridge that has a button and a plastic handle.

If the voltage drops by more than 0.5 volts, then you should look for a short circuit. The attribute consists of a metal socket recessed into the plastic casing of the front panel, and a cartridge that is inserted into this socket.

In such cases, you can try to clean and resolder the contacts. Device A traditional car cigarette lighter consists of two parts - a cartridge and a socket. If it drops by at least 0.5 volts, turn all electrical appliances on and off, including the ignition system. In addition, often the connector of the device connected to the cigarette lighter does not fit into the socket tightly enough.
