Serviceable headlights on the VAZ 2114 do an excellent job of illuminating the road surface at any time of the day. If a malfunction occurs, the beam strength deteriorates, the daw disappears and harmful flare appears. For safe driving, you need to monitor the optics, make adjustments and change modules in case of damage.

Practical recommendation for replacement

The headlight unit on a VAZ-2114 is quite simple and easy to change, but the process itself requires some practical and theoretical skills. Therefore, consider the sequential replacement process:

  1. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
  2. We dismantle the radiator protective lining.

Removing the plastic protection of the top panel of the radiator

Unscrew the holding screw. It is better to remove the headlight assembly with turn signal

Unscrew the side mount of the headlight unit

We dismantle the headlight

Replacement is easy

Having figured out where the block that controls the operation of the PTF power circuit is located, replacing it is a trifle. It is much more difficult to correctly diagnose a breakdown. Therefore, if for some reason there is no power to the rear fog lights, you should start by checking the fuse and cleaning the contacts.

For the latter, you can use regular fine-grit sandpaper. This must be done extremely carefully, because the relay block contains electromagnets, with the help of which the contacts are switched (when the light button is pressed).

If there is no power supply to the VAZ rear lights, and the fog lights do not work together with it, then this does not indicate a breakdown of the relay, but a damage to the electrical circuit or a short circuit in the system (most often, the absence of a negative contact from ground).

To accurately determine the cause, it is advisable to use a multimeter. If only the rear lights do not light up, this indicates:

  • damaged fuse;
  • absence of 1, 2, 6 contacts (voltage on them);
  • switch closure (momentary button);
  • problem with electrical wiring (break).

As practice shows, the relay on the PTF VAZ 2114 fails extremely rarely. Most often, only a break in the contacting area or mass contact occurs due to body vibrations. A faulty relay should be the last thing to blame.

conclusions

Installing and replacing a VAZ-2114 headlight is a fairly simple and understandable process that every motorist can do with his own hands. So, if a car enthusiast is not able to carry out the process himself, he must contact a car service center, where they will always help.

I love articles like this, especially those that give a detailed analysis that you can do yourself on the weekend))

I'll have something to do this weekend)) I think I'll replace the headlights with new ones in a couple of hours. Quite a lot of nuances, especially for a beginner. Thanks for the instructions.

Schematic electrical diagrams, connecting devices and pinouts of connectors

Detailed color diagrams of the VAZ 2114 wiring (carburetor, injector) are provided with a description of the electrical equipment for various modifications. The information is intended for self-repair of cars. Many electrical circuits are divided into several sections for ease of viewing via a computer or smartphone; there are also circuits in the form of one picture with a description of the elements - for printing on a printer.

The VAZ 2114 (Samara-2) car is built on the VAZ 21093 platform and is an improved version of it. The first prototype of the hatchback was assembled back in 2000. A year later, the Volzhsky Automobile Plant produced the first pilot batch of 50 VAZ-2114 cars, and in the same 2001 the hatchback was first introduced to the market. The interior features a new instrument panel, a new steering wheel, an adjustable steering column, power windows and a new heater. Years of production 2114: 2001—2013

The fourteenth model was previously equipped with a 1.5 liter eight-valve engine, borrowed from the VAZ 2111 model with an injector. A little later it was replaced by the VAZ 11183-1000 version, which complies with the Euro-3 standard. The VAZ 2114 injector received a more powerful engine, and this is one of the reasons that the wiring of the 2114 has also changed.

A wiring harness has been added for connecting to the electronic switch. A harness has also appeared for connecting to the ignition module terminal.

Replacing high-voltage wires will require additional attention, because the connection procedure depends on the year of manufacture of the car. Until 2004, 4-pin ignition modules were installed, and after that - 3-pin. Connecting the adsorber valve to the injection system controller also provided another additional element. An adsorber is an electromechanical device used for ventilation and removal of condensate in a gas tank. Complications also affected the interior part. The dashboard received improvements in the form of the appearance of a BC (on-board computer), a new instrument panel and a change in the position of the glove compartment.

Malfunctions and repairs

To repair a VAZ headlight, it must be removed.

In the case of rear lights, you should replace standard sockets and chips with high-quality ones, and seal the joints with sealant. This will eliminate problems with contacts and improper operation of modules.

If the front lights of the VAZ do not work, then you need to inspect:

  • chips and wiring;
  • lamps;
  • glass condition.

If problems are detected in the wiring, the faulty parts are replaced. Burnt-out light elements are removed and new ones are installed. If glass is broken, it is not difficult to re-glue it with sealant or remove the defect using special glue.

If after all the work the headlights do not shine well, then the optics need to be replaced with new ones. To do this, you need to decide on the manufacturer and purchase a set of suitable lamps.

What are fog lamps for?

The first prototype of the hatchback was assembled back in the year. And in combination with high-quality manufacturing materials, it ensured reliable operation. Many PTF kits contain special decorative plugs that add attractiveness and neatness to the installed headlights and facilitate the installation process. To summarize, we can say that in the first case, the qualifications of the work are minimal, and it can be done by yourself, without having specific knowledge, while working with an electrician requires a specialist who needs to be paid. When purchasing a bumper with holes for fog lights, you will need to purchase the lights themselves and all the necessary components for connection. Self-installation of PTF is the most common installation method, since it requires minimal financial investment. Otherwise, the clip fastening can be broken, and during subsequent installation the casing will not sit tightly in place.


There is a gear on the motor shaft that meshes with the teeth of the rack.

Relay location

So, the rear fog lamp relay is located on the driver’s side, under the steering wheel (just to the right of the fuse box, sometimes they are all covered with a plug or cover). There are only 3 pieces there. Sometimes they are covered with plugs. It should be noted that it is connected to a non-latching power button. This means that if you press it, it returns to its original state. But this is normal, since in it the contacts are paired through an electromagnet.

The PTF relay in old variations of VAZ cars was located under the hood, towards the fuse block. Now, more and more often, it is placed in the interior, under the steering wheel, in the area of ​​​​the electronic unit. There is also a relay responsible for supplying power to the dashboard and a signaling device (if provided for by the design).

The rear fog light relay simultaneously combines 3 electrical circuits plus one spare line for 12 volts of static voltage. By the way, because of this, if it partially fails (meaning broken contacts due to vibration), you can fix the problem in a matter of minutes - simply transfer contacts from 1-2 to 6. The only caveat is that this procedure must be performed with the engine turned off and a disconnected battery terminal - some contacts are always energized, but without load. It can also cause a short circuit!

It is important to understand that initially the fog lamp relay does not connect this circuit, since the manufacturer by default installs conventional headlights without additional lighting. The circuit is closed after the fog lights are installed.

PTF connection diagram


Voltage is supplied to the electrical circuit by contact B+ from the generator. The mass is taken from the car body, not far from the location where the PTFs are installed. They begin to work when the switch key is pressed, provided that the low or high beam is working. To reduce the load on the contacts, a relay is connected to the circuit, which is installed from the factory in the engine compartment on the left mudguard; in addition, three fuses F8, F9, F10 are installed in the mounting block, which protect the fog light circuit.

Wiring diagram VAZ-2114 new models

The updated engine has a new injection scheme, so it was necessary to use some new devices, as well as replace the ignition coil with a more efficient one and adapted to Euro 3 conditions. In order to comply with them, the engine had to minimize the amount of CO at start-up. And for this it was necessary to lean the mixture. Since a lean mixture ignites worse, it needed a more powerful spark to spark. This explains the use of a coil of increased power.

Installation diagram of fog lights

The connection of fog lights is carried out according to certain rules. They, first of all, relate to the placement of PTF on the car. The locations for installing headlights are strictly defined.


Layout of daytime running lights

Manufacturers of modern car models pre-mark the PTF installation locations on the bumpers. As a rule, such lighting elements are most often available in the luxury version of the car. If the headlights themselves are missing, then their installation sites are closed with special plugs.


Distance at which fog lights can be placed

Relays and fuses VAZ 2114

F1 for 10 Amps (A) rear fog lights and rear fog light warning lamp. F2 for 10 A turn signal lamps, turn signal relay, hazard lights, hazard warning lights. F3 7.5 A lamps for interior lighting (both) and trunk, ignition lighting, powertrain control system control lamp, brake lamps, computer, if available. F4 20 A carrier, relay and rear window heating element. F5 20 A horn and its relay, cooling fan. F6 30 A power windows and their relays F7 30 A motor heater, headlight cleaner, windshield washer, cigarette lighter, glove compartment light bulb, rear window heating relay winding.

Reversing lights

Lamps, which are a light-signal element that notifies you when you are reversing, can significantly increase the level of safety on the road.

The turning on of the rear lights indicates that the car is moving backwards, so you should be careful. Non-working lights can easily lead to accidents and collisions, for which you will ultimately be the culprit.

What is this?

3X headlights are white lighting fixtures. They turn on when shifting into reverse gear.

The main function is to ensure safety while driving. They signal other drivers about your maneuvers and illuminate the road when parking in the dark.
