A cigarette lighter is an electrical device in a car designed to light cigarettes. In a modern car, the functions of the electric cigarette lighter have been significantly expanded - it is now used to connect a recorder, battery and phone chargers, a tire inflator, a car vacuum cleaner and even a video player. The device has become so important for users that today it is difficult to imagine a car without it.
And although the design of the electric cigarette lighter is not complicated, sometimes it causes a lot of trouble, and sometimes it “allows motorists to light a strong cigarette.” Disturbances in the electrical network not only lead to the failure of the cigarette lighter and the hassle of replacing it, but also, under certain conditions, to a short circuit in the electrical wiring. So there are enough reasons to discuss the topic of repairing and replacing the car cigarette lighter.
Replacing the cigarette lighter for VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112
If previously only smokers used the cigarette lighter in a car, today it acts as a power source for DVRs, compressors, car refrigerators and many other devices, and with such intensity of use, replacing the cigarette lighter in VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112 cars may be required much more often.
The owner can carry out such repairs independently, without contacting a service station. But, for this it is necessary to at least understand the connection diagram of the node to other modules of the on-board network.

The cigarette lighter may need to be replaced if the product stops functioning. The reasons for mechanism failure are the following factors:
- The socket fuse has blown. Occurs in frequent cases if the outlet is used to connect several devices as a splitter. After all, a 10-amp fuse is not designed for large current overloads, so in frequent cases it fails. In order to repair the cigarette lighter, you simply need to replace the fuse with a new one.
- Oxidation of device contacts. To carry out repairs, you will need to remove the mechanism and clean the contacts.
- Closing the contacts of the product. Contact melting occurs when inept owners replace a 10A fuse with a 15A one. As a result, this leads to the wiring in the car “burning” or the contacts melting. To fix the problem, you need to remove the device and make repairs based on the breakdown.
- Faulty filament coil. In order to repair the product, it is necessary to replace the head with a new one. The cost of the product does not exceed 150 rubles.
If the product is used frequently, it may fail. According to the instructions, the cigarette lighter head should snap out when you press it after 10-20 seconds. Over time, this period of time increases, and at one point the product stops functioning altogether. Let’s find out in more detail what the connection diagram for the cigarette lighter on a VAZ “classic” is.
Cigarette lighter electrical circuit
The cigarette lighter socket of the “seven”, like any other inexpensive car, has the following connection diagram:
- “Power” is a red wire, one part of which powers the clock in the car.
- The yellow wire is the power supply for the backlight.
- “Ground” is a black wire.
The fuse, which is responsible for protecting the product, is located in the mounting block at number 6. In modern cars, power to the cigarette lighter usually comes not directly from the battery, but through the ignition switch. As a result, power is not supplied until the ignition key is turned. This is done in order to preserve battery charge during long periods of parking.
Let's find out how to change the cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2107, and what the procedure is.
Features of device replacement
Self-replacement of the mechanism is carried out as follows:
- First you need to remove the negative terminal from the battery. After this, dismantle the panel with the clock.
- Using pliers you need to tighten the metal rim on the cigarette lighter.
- Now you can dismantle the product.
- After removing the socket, it is necessary to inspect it and, if necessary, replace it.
- To replace a product, you need to switch the power wires to the new device, and then install it in place in the reverse order of removal.
After this procedure is completed, you can connect the negative terminal to the battery and turn on the product. After 15 seconds, the head should snap off, which indicates that the product is working properly. After making sure that the product is functioning, you can check the serviceability of the old head. If the old head does not snap off, then it cannot be repaired. Despite the fact that the product in question is not fancy, it requires periodic maintenance. In frequent cases, the fuse simply fails, so you should always have a couple of new products in stock.
Order of Operations
Before removing the cigarette lighter of a VAZ 2110, 2111 or 2112, you need to de-energize the circuit; to do this, remove the negative terminal from the battery. Now you can start working directly:

Instructions
If you determine that to fix the problem it is necessary to remove the cigarette lighter, then you should begin this work. This is done in the following order:
- First, remove the negative terminal from the battery. You will be working with electricians, so you need to avoid short circuits as much as possible;
- From the central tunnel, unscrew the 2 screws that are located near the dashboard;
- Unscrew the side panels of the central tunnel. They are secured with self-tapping screws; this must be done on both sides;
- The pads that power it and the backlight are turned off;
- Find the decorative trim under the handbrake lever. Pry it off with a slotted screwdriver;
- Next, remove the cover from the gear shift lever;
- Find a screw near the speed lever and unscrew it with a Phillips screwdriver;
- Remove the entire central tunnel, it is attached to 2 self-tapping screws;
- Remove the cigarette lighter socket. Along with it comes the light bulb screen;
- Locate and release the cigarette lighter latch. As a result, it should move forward a little and disengage with the body;
- Pull out the cigarette lighter itself;
- Squeeze the latches on the light guide. They are easily compressed, and as a result, the cigarette lighter is disconnected from the light guide panel.
This completes the work. All that remains is to install the new device in place. This is done in reverse order.
There are several ways to extend the life of a new cigarette lighter. If you do not follow these tips, you will be changing this device regularly. Here are the most important points:
- The most important thing is not to allow the current consumption to exceed. In the case when you connect tees to the cigarette lighter, most likely you will simply ruin it. The cigarette lighter is not designed for such loads. Never connect several devices to it at the same time;
- It is also worth choosing fuses carefully. They only look completely identical. In fact, they may differ slightly from one manufacturer to another. But even a difference of half an ampere can be critical. Therefore, purchase fuses only from proven brands;
- If
a fuse is blown, it is worth checking all the wiring that touches it. Often it is also damaged, and subsequently it can affect the operation of the cigarette lighter, or cause the fuse to re-blow.
As you can see, problems with the cigarette lighter, although not common, do occur. Therefore, you need to know how to properly diagnose, as well as how best to avoid problems. Knowing how to remove the cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2110 and 2112 will make your task easier when you need to replace a faulty device. Despite the fact that this repair is one of the simplest, it also has its own characteristics that are worth considering. Otherwise, you will lose a lot of time and may break other structural elements. When performing work, be extremely careful and careful.
Let's summarize
Obviously, the procedure for replacing the cigarette lighter is quite simple, even a beginner can do it. But you need to understand that the cigarette lighter will have to be changed often if the current consumption increases above 25 amperes. Once this value is reached, the entire procedure described above will have to be performed again, since the node will inevitably fail. The most common reason for this is connecting multiple devices at the same time. You should not use tees, and you should always know exactly how much the device you want to connect to the cigarette lighter consumes. This will extend the life of both the unit itself and the fuses.

Tips to help
To extend the life of the cigarette lighter, do not connect powerful power sources to it in any way - if you connect compressors, heaters, vacuum cleaners, etc., do not turn them on for a long time.
Such devices should be powered directly from the car battery. Otherwise, the fuse or the socket itself may fail. Don't forget to read the article on how to properly charge a car battery.
Attention! Do not connect too many different fuses to the cigarette lighter or the wiring simply will not withstand such power.
In addition, do not install a higher power fuse on the cigarette lighter (some “smart guys” do this to connect more devices). In this case, the result is the same - the cigarette lighter socket will burn out due to high currents.
Never insert suspicious connectors into a socket that are poorly assembled, dangling or not tightened. Such actions may result in shorted contacts and blown fuses.
If your cigarette lighter fails, don't despair. Diagnosing the device and replacing the cigarette lighter is a matter of 20-30 minutes. Good luck on the roads and of course no breakdowns.
Why does the cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2110 not work?
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:
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.
Check and replacement
Replacing the cigarette lighter in a VAZ 2110
- Turn on the ignition.
- Insert the cigarette lighter into the socket.
- Wait 10-15 seconds.
- Take it out.
Note: if it has not warmed up during this time, then it really does not work.
Replacing the cigarette lighter for VAZ 2110
Of course, you can go to a dealership to have it replaced by a qualified automotive technician, but you can also replace and install it yourself to save money. Replacement instructions:
- First you need to find a fuse (see VAZ 2110: how to replace fuses) that protects the cigarette lighter from spontaneous combustion. To easily remove it, you need to break the chain.
Note: Removing the fuse is important because if the wiring located at the top is tangled, it can cause damage to other electrical things in the car. The wiring will simply burn out and will need to be replaced. Before you begin replacing the fuse that protects against spontaneous combustion, you should read the machine's user manual.
- Now you have to remove the faulty device. To do this, you need to take a flat screwdriver and insert it into the slot (the cigarette is placed there). The screwdriver needs to be turned several times.
Note: this should be done extremely carefully so as not to tear out the socket, since in this case the other cigarette lighter is unlikely to function normally.
The process of replacing the cigarette lighter of a VAZ 2110
- If this method does not work, you will have to try to release the metal clips that hold it in place.
Note: these clamps are very easy to unfold, but there is no need to rush. It is better to do the work longer, but with better quality.
VAZ 2110 how to remove the cigarette lighter
- After removing it, you will have access to two wires with spade connectors. You need to remove both wires so that they are completely disconnected.
Note: if they are not turned off, they may short out and catch fire during operation.
- Now it will be much easier to replace this device. It is necessary to connect the spade-shaped connectors to the peaks located on the back of the device. You need to insert the black into black and white into white wires accordingly.
Note: otherwise the circuit will not be closed and the device will not work.
- After connecting the wires, you can install it in place by pushing it into the hole provided for this.
Note: Press it lightly and then twist it clockwise until it is secured by the two metal clips. He must be motionless.
- Now all that's left is to replace the fuse in the fuse box (if it doesn't work) or install the old one.
Note: this is a prerequisite, since without it a short circuit is possible.
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.
Finishing touch
The standard warm-up period is 20 seconds. Well, or 15-25 seconds (no more). Therefore, before assembly, adjustments are made:
- Temporarily connect the battery;
- Power is supplied to the cigarette lighter socket. Install the moving part.
- Warming up occurs at a constant speed, but the “automatic” mode can be configured in different ways. To change the response threshold, squeeze or bend the two tabs on the body. Take the test.

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.
Important points
- Replacing the cigarette lighter is good, but the new device is unlikely to last long if the car owner does not follow a simple rule: do not allow the current consumption to exceed 25 amperes. As soon as the current exceeds this limit, the entire above procedure will have to be carried out again, because the cigarette lighter (or fuse) will inevitably be damaged. Most often this happens when the driver uses various tees, that is, connects several devices to the cigarette lighter socket at once. This should be avoided at all costs.
- If the cigarette lighter remains intact, but only the fuse had to be replaced, it must be replaced with a device of the same brand. Auto parts stores today have a lot of fuses from various companies. Despite the fact that their passport characteristics are the same, in practice this is often not the case. And in the case of a cigarette lighter, an error of even half an ampere can be critical, and it will very quickly fail.
As can be seen from the above article, to replace the cigarette lighter you do not need to take the car to a car service center and even a novice car enthusiast can perform this operation. But it is important to remember that even the highest quality cigarette lighter is unlikely to last long if the owner has the habit of connecting everything to it at once. The best option here is to know exactly how much current a particular device connected to the cigarette lighter consumes. This knowledge will significantly extend the life of both the fuses and the device itself.

Frequent problems and ways to solve them
Before changing the cigarette lighter, you should inspect other common breakdown areas. It may be possible to repair the part without replacing or dismantling it.
Frequent problems include:
- Blown fuse. To check this element, you need to connect a standard 12-volt lamp to the socket, and then turn the ignition key. If the lamp does not light, the fuse has blown. It needs to be removed and replaced. You need to get to the block under the front panel and remove the non-working element.
- Loose or oxidized contacts. It is necessary to check the connectors of the VAZ car cigarette lighter for the presence of rust, tighten them for tight contact.
- Fallen wires. There is an age issue that should also be taken into account. To eliminate this, you should solder them to their seats.
- Burnt out spiral. Treated by dismantling and installing a new nest. To extend the lifespan, it is advisable not to connect devices with high current strength, such as a compressor for inflating tires.
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.
