Choosing windshield wiper blades for the VAZ-2110: sizes, types and shapes

HOW TO IMPROVE VISIBILITY IN A CAR

The driver's visibility is undoubtedly influenced by the cleanliness and transparency of the windshield. What you can do: Do ​​not use tint. Choose quality windshield wiper blades. Install more standard wipers, which will increase the cleaning area. Among the improvements we can consider: Increasing the windshield cleaning area on the driver's side. Increase the speed of the wipers. Modify the windshield washer system. Improve the glass blowing. Improve the stove so that the glass warms up faster. Improve the ventilation system to prevent windows from sweating. Some drivers at night like to use light filters that are installed on the sun visor of the car. Others recommend anti-rain products.

The tips presented below affect road lighting at night: Wipe off dirt from headlights in a timely manner. Adjust the light output. Don't forget to use the headlight range control. Install high-quality lamps in the headlights. If the headlight lenses become cloudy over time, polish the headlights. Among the improvements we can consider: Installation of headlight washers. Installation of electric headlight corrector. Lots of other instructions. Fog lights are only better when driving in thick fog. In the absence of fog, the PTFs brightly and very widely illuminate the road directly in front of the car, which creates the feeling of better visibility of the road. In fact, the driver's eyes get used to the excessively bright spot in front of the hood, which makes it impossible for him to see well further ahead, where the level of illumination is noticeably lower.

There is no point in reminding that mirrors should be adjusted for a specific driver, just as there is no point in wiping them in a timely manner. Here are some tips for improving them: Install additional spherical mirrors. Install mirrors with an increased viewing area (for example, from a Priora or foreign car). Make heated mirrors. Modify the adjustment or install electrically adjustable mirrors.

When reversing, the road is least visible. To increase the cleaning area, you can install a larger wiper. Also consider the following modifications: Installation of an alternative interior mirror (panoramic or from a foreign car). Parktronic. Rear View Camera. Fresnel lens. For those who are completely confused about the topic of review, they may consider installing a surround-view system. What tips and modifications did we forget to mention that could affect visibility in the car? Write your recommendations in the comments, and we will add them to the article.

WHAT TO CHOOSE SIZE OF WIPER BLADES FOR VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112

Standard size of VAZ wipers of the “tenth family”: - driver and passenger blades are the same size - 20 inches or 508 mm (51 cm); — rear wiper VAZ 2111 — 31 cm; — rear wiper VAZ 2112 — 50 cm. This is not the limit; the distance from the edge of the brush to the edge of the body allows you to install larger brushes. The following shows the length of the driver's and passenger's windshield wipers, which can be installed at "ten", while the brushes will not touch the frill (wind lining), body pillars or the edge of the roof: 50cm 50cm 51cm 48cm 51cm 51cm - standard 53cm 50cm 53cm 51cm 53cm 53cm 55cm 45cm 60cm 50cm 63cm 48cm The most popular brush sizes are: 53cm and 53cm, or 53cm and 51cm. The rear wiper of a hatchback can be increased to 51 cm, and that of a station wagon up to 32 cm and replaced from frame to frameless. Thus, simply replacing the wipers will increase the cleaning area of ​​the windshield without modifications.

REASONS WHY CAR WIPERS DO NOT WORK

So, we noticed that the wipers stopped working, the procedure is approximately as follows: 1. Check the F9 20A fuse in the mounting block. 2. At the same time, we check the relay for switching on the windshield wipers and windshield washers (install a known good one for testing, check that the relay is not installed on the other side). A faulty relay occurs when the intermittent wiper mode does not work. 3. Poor electrical contact. There can be many options, for example, the wiring has melted, poor ground contact, poor contact in the block with the wires in the engine compartment due to exposure to moisture, faulty mounting block, etc. We check the presence of voltage on the electric motor pads. 4. The steering column switch is faulty. 5. The nuts on the trapezoid have become unscrewed or loosened. For example, a nut securing the crank to the gearbox axle. Check the windshield wiper trapezoid, tighten the nuts. 6. The windshield wiper trapezoid is jammed. Repair, lubricate or replace. 7. The electric motor is faulty or its fuse (separate) has blown. We check the voltage supply. If necessary, we repair or replace with a new one. If the windshield washer does not work, check: the presence of water in the reservoir; condition of the windshield washer pipes; relay and fuse F9 20A; washer motor.

WHY DO THE WIPER WIPERS GREAK ON THE GLASS AND HOW TO GET RID OF IT

How to determine whether wipers squeak on the glass or not? Try the following recommendations: Check the operation of the blades on a wet windshield; Test the operation of the wipers in the raised position; Check the operation of each brush individually. As a result, we will get a complete picture of what is the source of extraneous noise. For example, if the creaking of the windshield wiper blades remains even when raised, then the problem is in the trapezoid itself (lubricate or replace). It may be that it is not the rubber band that is squeaking on the glass, but the wiper hinge, which can simply be lubricated with WD-40. If you are sure that it is the wipers that are squeaking on the glass, then follow these tips: 1. The rubber of the blades has worn out, so a squeak appears when cleaning the windshield. Choose quality windshield wiper blades. 2. The wipers do not adhere well to the glass. The spring has become less elastic over time; in this case, only replacing it will help. 3. The wipers do not press against the glass. Poor clamping may be the result of a broken bushing in which the wiper axis rotates. The bushing will have to be replaced. 4. The windshield wipers scratch the windshield and, as a result, a squeak appears. The blades and windshield should be washed thoroughly. If desired, the windshield can be polished. 5. Do the wipers scrape the glass only in one direction? Most likely the brush is adjacent to the glass at an angle. To solve the problem, you can try bending the leash with pliers in the direction in which an unpleasant sound occurs when moving. You can also pull out the elastic band and turn it 180 degrees.

COMPATIBILITY OF WINDSHIELD WIPER TRAPES FOR VAZ 2110

Interchangeability of VAZ windshield wiper trapezoids of the tenth family For the “ten” there are old and new model windshield wiper trapezoids, catalog numbers: 2110-5205015 2110-5205015-01 2110-5205015-11 2110-5205015-20 2110-5205015-21 Dimensions in appearance windshield wipers are the same, but the sellers claim that they are incompatible, and what to do if it is no longer possible to find an old-style trapezoid? In fact, there are differences in these windshield wiper trapezoids, but with minor modifications they become interchangeable. To install a new type of windshield wiper trapezoid instead of the old one, you only need to cut off one mounting stud on each side of the body. In addition, on the “ten” you can install a Priora windshield wiper trapezoid; by the way, it is cheaper than the original one. The differences will be: 1. In the studs for the windshield wiper arms, on the VAZ 2170 trapezoid they are “13”, and on the VAZ 2110 they are “10”; accordingly, the wiper arms will have to be replaced. 2. In the wiper motor connectors. Connect according to the color of the wires (the photo shows a temporary connection method; ideally, all wire connections should be well insulated). Replacing the windshield wiper trapezoid 2110 You will need: a “10” wrench, a Phillips and flat-head screwdriver. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery, remove the windshield (jabot), and then the expansion tank. Then: Disconnect the wiper gear motor connector. Unscrew the nut securing the trapezium to the body on the left. Unscrew the nut on the right securing the trapezoid to the body. Unscrew the bolt securing the gearmotor bracket. Remove the cleaner trapezoid from the studs and remove it from the air supply box.

Size of wipers for old VAZ models

Most older VAZ models use a standard blade length of 33 cm. For the VAZ 2110 windshield wiper, as well as the “nines” - the same as on the 2114. Although they are interchangeable, it is still recommended to buy original blades - they are optimized for downforce . Their mounts are identical.

By the way, it is worth noting that for many models the size of the windshield wiper blades is indicated not in centimeters, but in inches. Eg:

  • series 14 are the same ones that are suitable for vases 2107, 2105, 2106 and the like, the design of which is taken from a “penny”;
  • series 18 - suitable for Niva (VAZ 2121);
  • series 20 - standard for the “fourteenth” model and so on.

To simplify the calculation, you just need to remember that 1 inch is 2.54 cm. Using a simple formula, the length of the required brush is calculated.

If you place a longer windshield wiper in front of the driver than in front of the passenger, then when the water is removed, there will be no thin strip left on the glass. If you install two equally long windshield wipers, it will be there (but there will be no place on the sides that is uncleaned from dirt).

Some manufacturers, by the way, still produce so-called frameless wipers for VAZ. They are considered the best, but cost a little more. Their advantage is a tighter clamp and less restriction of visibility for the driver. But such windshield wipers wear out much faster. As for the material, the best choice is a special rubber for glass. Silicone, in principle, is not bad either, but it does a worse job of cleaning dirt without moisturizing. And during operation it produces an unpleasant “glass” creak.

Which brushes are best to choose for a particular car? It is worth focusing on your own experience. The main difference will only be in size. Some people prefer rubber ones, some prefer silicone ones, and others just want to save money.

For the latter, you can completely restore the old brushes (applies only to frame models). If they make an unpleasant squeak during operation, this means that they need to be cleaned of salts. The easiest way to do this is with a citric acid solution.

Rear window wiper

What size wiper blades are needed for the rear window? Most models are equipped with standard ones - 33 cm. It is possible to replace them with longer variations of brushes, but you need to take into account that the electric motor is less efficient. Accordingly, if you use a wiper that is too long, it may jam, for example, if snow has stuck to the glass. Frameless wipers should not be installed at the rear - they are simply not needed there. Their only advantage is resistance to freezing (and only if the rubber is frost-resistant). As a last resort, you can always reverse using the side mirrors.

By the way, on the VAZ 2115 from the factory, wipers with a blade length of 42 cm are installed on the rear window. It should be understood that the shorter the wiper, the better it cleans the grip area. That is why it is recommended to set it shorter than recommended by the manufacturer. The optimal option, according to many car enthusiasts, is better used on the VAZ 2110. There, the length of the rear windshield wiper is only 27 cm. Yes, it cleans practically nothing on the sides, but the central part is always well cleaned. They can also be installed on the VAZ 2115.

Refinement stages

It is easy to modify or replace wipers. To do this you need to take several sequential steps:

  • Disconnect the negative cable from the battery;
  • Pull the wiper towards you;
  • Remove the existing brushes;
  • If there is a decorative trim, remove it;
  • Unscrew the mounting bolt, thereby removing the old wiper;
  • Compare the dimensions of the old and new cleaner;
  • Ideally, the new device should not exceed the old one by more than 20 millimeters;
  • Reverse the assembly procedure.

As you can see, changing windshield wipers is not difficult. But with the repair procedure, everything is somewhat different. But following the instructions, even an inexperienced VAZ 2110 owner will be able to do everything with his own hands.

How to maintain and replace brushes?

To replace the windshield wiper blade 2110, just bend the rocker arm and then unfasten the rubber band. The frame structure itself must be lubricated with silicone oil.

For servicing the rear, the same rules are used. But frameless wipers have an initially curved shape.

The fastening there is done directly along the rocker arm.

Maintenance of brushes consists solely of timely cleaning of salts and derivatives of the washer fluid (dyes may remain after it - in cheap variations). This should be done either with a special solvent or with a solution of citric acid (immerse for 10 - 15 minutes, then wipe thoroughly with a rag). If even after this the brush does not clean the glass properly, it is time to replace it, since it has literally worn down to the ground. At the same time, the pressing force decreases, and the shape of the brush may differ from the initial one.

In general, which wipers are better is up to each individual to decide. With length everything is very clear. It should be remembered that if there are cracks in the glass, the wipers will wear out very quickly, and in order to increase their wear life, the rocker arm should be lubricated with silicone oil in a timely manner.

What kind of wiper blades should be installed on VAZ cars

SegaMega New Member

Listed below are the sizes of wipers installed on VAZ and LADA cars of different models. Their sizes vary, so when replacing old windshield wiper blades, it is important to choose the exact size that is included in your model.

What happens if the brushes are of a different size?

The thing is that wipers of different sizes also have different radii of the pressing blade, which depends on the curvature of the windshield. For example, if you install brushes that are larger than those recommended by the manufacturer, then they will press less well and their effectiveness will drop significantly.

If their size is larger, then during operation they may touch the edge of the windshield and rise above the glass, reducing the service life of the windshield wiper mechanism.

If their size is smaller, there will no longer be such a problem as above, but the degree of glass cleaning also decreases. This happens because the wipers do not clean the entire surface of the glass, leaving dirty places in its center and along the edges, because they simply cannot reach these remote places.

How long are the wipers installed on your 10?

Brush sizes for VAZ 2114, 2113 and 2115:

On these models, both brushes have the same dimensions and their length is 510 mm. But, it is allowed to install brushes on the passenger side with a size of 510 mm, and opposite the driver with a size of 530 mm. Why different sizes? It’s just that if you put large ones of the same size, this will lead to the fact that a watery strip may appear on the glass when they work together. The rear viewing window is also equipped with wipers that use 300 mm blades. Here the dimensions are not so critical and can be easily replaced with 330 mm.

Replacement

It is better to carry out replacement in a garage. The procedure includes:

  • the wiper arm must be moved to a vertical position, perpendicular to the plane of the glass being cleaned;

  • it is necessary to carefully squeeze the plastic mounting body on both sides and then move the brush away from the bend of the hook with rocking movements;

After which the brush is simply pulled out of its seat. It is quite difficult to damage the leash. At the same time, you need to be careful with plastic parts. Especially if you need to reuse old brushes in the future. In the cold, plastic becomes especially fragile and brittle. It is advisable to avoid damaging it.

Installing the brushes takes no more than 15 minutes. The procedure is simple, but requires accuracy from the driver. It is important to avoid impacts and unnecessary movements. Otherwise, the mount will be damaged and will have to be purchased separately.

Choosing windshield wiper blades for the VAZ-2110: sizes, types and shapes


Windshield wipers, or simply “windshield wipers,” are a very important part of any car. As its name implies, it allows you to remove water flows during rain, snow and dirt from the windshield (and not only). All this can seriously block the driver’s view, significantly reducing the level of safety on the road. Therefore, if when you turn on the windshield wipers, dirty streaks remain on the glass, if visibility improves only insignificantly, it is necessary to replace these very “wipers”. How to do it? What to look for in the process of selecting and purchasing new parts? You can find answers to these and other questions in our article.

Part of the old and new sample

Selecting a new part for a VAZ-2110 is not such a simple matter. Not everyone knows that there are old and new trapezoids.

Therefore, it is better to remove the old part and take it to an auto parts store. They are not only attached differently, but also differ in the connectors through which they are connected to the motor. If you can’t find an old-style trapezoid, and this is exactly what you have, you’ll have to redo the system or look for a used part.

  • As a rule, trapezoids of a new type are available for sale from various manufacturers. One of the popular models has the article number VLT2110–5205010-Р.

If the windshield wiper motor is working properly, you can only change the trapezoid itself.

Choosing the most suitable type of windshield wipers for the VAZ-2110


First of all, you will need to decide on the type of windshield wipers for the VAZ-2110 car, choose a product that is completely suitable for you both in terms of purpose and design features. The modern market offers several main types of wipers:

  • frame windshield wipers. They are deservedly considered the most reliable and are popular among VAZ-2110 owners due to their high operational efficiency and affordable cost. A feature of their design is the presence of a steel or polymer frame, as well as a bayonet or hook fastening, with the help of which the “wipers” are secured to the lever of the corresponding mechanism. It is best to use these products in the warm season, since in winter the frame may become clogged, which will negatively affect the operation of the device;
  • winter wipers that are ideal for use even in severe frost. At the same time, many car enthusiasts note such disadvantages as high noise levels at low temperatures and an almost complete lack of efficiency when turned on at high speed. The last disadvantage is due to the fact that the air flow removes the purifiers too far from the glass and does not adhere tightly to it;
  • frameless brushes made of natural rubber, which, firstly, fits perfectly to the glass and can clean it of any dirt, and secondly, easily copes with the aggressive effects of even very low temperatures. Products can also be equipped with various types of fastenings, which greatly facilitates their installation;
  • universal brushes that can be used both in winter and summer, successfully cleaning glass from any dirt.

When choosing any of the types of windshield wipers listed above, be sure to pay attention to the manufacturer; under no circumstances buy designs from little-known Chinese brands, as their quality may be at a very low level.

Selecting windshield wipers by size


When choosing, not only the type, but also the size of the windshield wiper blades for the VAZ-2110 is of great importance, so we will dwell on this issue in great detail. Many of our car enthusiasts try to be guided by simple logic - the larger the wipers, the better. We are sure that this opinion is wrong and are ready to prove our point of view.

How to determine the size of windshield wiper blades? To answer this question, you can either look at the specifications of your car, where this data is indicated, or measure the wipers yourself with a tape measure or ruler. You also need to measure the glass itself - this will help you comply with the following basic rules:

  • wipers cannot extend beyond the glass;
  • Under no circumstances should the brushes adhere to each other, as this will prevent them from properly performing their main functions.

As practice shows, the optimal size of windshield wiper blades for VAZ-2110 cars is 51 centimeters - on both the driver and passenger sides of the windshield. In this case, you can vary this parameter, but by increasing it for one “janitor”, you will have to reduce the size for another.

If you install three cleaners on your car at once, their dimensions should be as follows:

  • for the windshield on the driver's side, the length of the brush cannot exceed 50 centimeters;
  • a 450 mm long wiper is mounted on the passenger side;
  • The rear window uses a windshield wiper whose size is 30 centimeters.

Remember that strict adherence to the requirements for the size of windshield wiper blades allows you to ensure their flawless operation, a tight fit to the glass and high efficiency in cleaning it from dirt in any weather. Therefore, do not engage in amateur activities, trying to increase the length of the wipers.

Current sizes of VAZ windshield wiper blades. All models.

With the arrival of the autumn-winter period, the driver faces many problems: checking the technical condition of the engine, switching to winter tires, protecting the body from corrosion. But the most important task is to ensure good visibility. Snow, rain, slush - all this settles on the windshield, and if the wipers cannot cope with cleaning, then driving turns into complete torture.

Owners of VAZ family cars can choose from a wide range of windshield wiper blades. Along with classic frame wipers, frameless wipers, which practically do not freeze to the glass, are also in great demand today. In order for the brush to clean the glass surface well, it is made of frost-resistant rubber on a graphite base.

It is also important to choose the right size brushes. If you choose larger or smaller brushes, this can lead to the fact that they will cling to each other, knock on the racks, and uncleaned streaks will remain on the glass. Size information is indicated in the catalogue.

Let's try to figure out what size windshield wiper blade is needed for a particular VAZ model.

Lada – VAZ 2101 – VAZ (LADA) 2107

Zhiguli is the first name that many still use. This generation is considered to be a VAZ classic. Compact sedans and station wagons were produced with rear-wheel drive, and the visual difference between these models was the shape of the headlights: round (VAZ 2101 and 2102), dual (2103, 2106), rectangular (2104, 2105, 2107).

The dimensions of the windshield and rear window are the same for all these models; the recommended size of the windshield wiper blades on both the driver and passenger sides is 330 millimeters. However, as many car enthusiasts note, larger brushes - 350 millimeters - are quite suitable here.

Domestic class “A” hatchback OKA-1111

"OKA" was equipped with one front windshield wiper blade and one rear one. Dimensions - from 325 mm to 525 mm.

LADA Kalina and Kalina 2

Manufacturer's recommended brush sizes:

  • driver - 61 centimeters;
  • passenger - 40-41 centimeters;
  • rear brush - 36-40 cm.

LADA Priora, Lada Largus

Original wiper blade sizes:

  • 508 mm - both front wipers and one rear.

Granta is produced from the assembly line with the following sizes of windshield wiper blades:

  • 600 millimeters - driver's seat;
  • 410 millimeters - passenger seat.

All sizes indicated are recommended by the manufacturer. Although some variations on the size of windshield cleaning brushes are possible.

What to look for when choosing windshield wiper blades?

First of all, you need to pay attention to the following factors:

  • compliance of sizes with the manufacturer’s requirements, although you can deviate slightly from the standard sizes;
  • versatility of fastening;
  • quality of materials;
  • price category.

Fuses, motor, presence of voltage at terminals

We choose windshield wiper blades and what size are the wipers on the Lada Kalina?
I would recommend looking for a breakdown in this order. If the fuse is broken, the windshield washer will not work.

Initially it is 20 Amps and yellow in color. But, as often happens, he could have already been replaced.

Checking the wiper motor

Next, you need to check for voltage on the windshield washer motor. The motor is located under the hood. If there is voltage, then the motor is faulty. And given your words that everything was getting worse and the wipers were already working, most likely it was just “dying” and is now completely broken!

If there is no voltage, then you need to check the wiring and the steering column switch. You can apply voltage to the motor directly to make sure it is working.

Device

To understand the reasons for the breakdown of VAZ-2110 windshield wipers, you need to familiarize yourself with the device, individual components, as well as their characteristics. The information is presented in the table.

The windshield wiper system looks quite simple. Thus, the wiper system is driven by an electric motor powered by direct current. The electric motor has a built-in gearbox.

The speed of the swings depends on the adventure mode. This is achieved using 3 brushes that are installed in the motor. It should be noted here that the VAZ 2110 wiper drive is a rather vulnerable unit.

Mechanics are often the cause of breakdowns, although there may be other reasons. The system also has a relay designed to activate intermittent mode. A fuse is installed in the installation part. An additional fuse with a limit switch is built into the electric motor gearbox. The entire system is connected by wires. Of course, an integral element of the device in question are windshield wipers, which can have different shapes.

Total

Windshield wiper failure can occur for quite trivial reasons:

  • fuse F5 burned out;
  • the terminals of the connecting blocks are oxidized or burnt;
  • wires are faulty;
  • relay K5 524.3747 broke;
  • ordered the steering column switch to “live for a long time”;
  • the nut that attracts the trapezoid crank to the gearbox has become loose;
  • the nuts securing the levers to the trapezoid shafts were unscrewed;
  • The brushes are frozen to the glass.

Often, wipers on models of the VAZ 2110 family do not work due to complex faults:

  • oxidation/burning, insufficient pressing force of the contacts of the limit switch located on the gearbox cover;
  • brushes hanging in the gearmotor;
  • burnout/contamination of the collector;
  • break in the armature winding;
  • chipping of gear teeth in the gearbox.

VAZ 2109 wipers: examination and rehabilitation techniques

The “nine” has a classic windshield wiper circuit: the steering column switch via a relay (intermittent modes) or directly supplies power to the electric motor, which causes the gearbox – crank – trapezoid – brush holders to rotate. Long-term practice demonstrates that

Starter bulkhead on VAZ cars of the tenth model

Problems with starter failure can occur at the most unexpected moment. Since the engine cannot be started, the problem turns out to be quite serious. But you can try to solve this problem yourself. First you need to establish the cause of the malfunction. The main factors for

Causes of motor breakdowns and methods for eliminating them

Every driver faces such a problem when his car breaks down and won’t start. The reason for this is often a malfunction of the starter. It is a specific electric motor that uses a battery to receive power. Main faults and their

Determining the causes of a windshield wiper malfunction on a VAZ car

wipers If suddenly the wipers on your car stop working, this is not a reason to panic. This device is quite simple and, if desired, anyone can independently eliminate the cause of the malfunction by following the further instructions. And so, let's find out why the wipers on your VAZ-2105 do not work.

How to detect and fix problems in the windshield wiper system of a Lada Kalina car

The design of the windshield wiper system is a fairly simple diagram. If desired, any car owner is able to understand the cause of the malfunction and fix it independently.

Why don't the wipers work on the VAZ 2110?

During the operation of a VAZ car, sooner or later, drivers notice that the wipers begin to creak. Sometimes the system stops functioning completely. Problems may arise in the mechanical part. But first of all you need to look for a problem in the electric motor.

The most common causes of windshield wiper failure:

  1. The electric motor works, but the wipers do not perform their function or twitch. It is possible that in such a situation the gearbox crank fixing nut was unscrewed;
  2. The wipers do not work synchronously. In this case, the problem also lies in the fastening nut. It is necessary to tighten the fasteners and install the brushes correctly.

If the problem is in the electrical system, then the following signs of malfunction are observed:

  • The windshield wipers move slowly across the surface. Often the brushes stop and then slowly begin to perform their functions again. The peculiarity of the breakdown is that the wiper does not return to the lower position. To fix the problem, you need to adjust the limit switch. To do this, bend the contacts. If the problem cannot be resolved, then you need to buy a new electric motor with a built-in gearbox;
  • the car owner turns on the intermittent mode, but the windshield wipers operate non-stop. Most likely, the relay has failed;
  • When the windshield wipers are turned on, the sound of the electric motor is not heard. First of all, you need to check the contacts. Oxidation often forms on their surfaces. If the contacts are in good condition, then the relay needs to be replaced.

Before performing work, carefully study the windshield wiper circuit, with the help of which you can quickly find problems in the system.

If the windshield wipers do not function, but the fuse clicks when turned on, then the reason is a blown fuse or armature. Similar symptoms are observed when the brushes freeze to the surface of the glass. If the fuses are working, but the electric motor does not turn on, then you need to check the contacts. Also a fairly common problem in this case is a burnt out anchor.

Finding Electrical Problems

Each owner of a VAZ-2110 involuntarily paid attention to the clicks coming from the left side and the barely audible noise from the gearmotor when the windshield wiper was running. Therefore, at the initial stage of searching for the reasons why the VAZ-2110 wipers do not work, you need to check the performance of this particular product.

If the electric motor does not show any signs of life, you need to check the fuse located on the mounting block, which is located on the left side, under the headlight switch lever. If the fuse is in working order, this indicates a malfunction in the electric drive feeding system.

A multimeter will help determine the problem area in the circuit. You need to check the circuit from the fuse to the gearmotor, from it to the hydraulic corrector.

Naturally, it is necessary to check the fuse itself. If zero is constantly lit on the multimeter screen and a not very pleasant sound signal is heard, then the circuit is working properly. When several numbers appear on the screen, without sound, we move on - we move on to inspecting the terminals and wires.

You can troubleshoot the problem as follows:

  1. Clean and tighten all terminals that were checked with a multimeter.
  2. Replace wiring.
  3. Install a new lever on the steering column that turns on the windshield wiper.

Relay K2 (5243747), located in the mounting block, is responsible for the operation of the windshield wiper. If an intermittent mode is not observed during system operation, then it is time to change the relay. Under these circumstances, the hydraulic corrector also needs to be checked. If the windshield wiper relay has a defect, it will work wonderfully in the third extreme position of the right steering column stalk. A faulty relay does not stop working in all cases. Windshield wipers can function perfectly if they are turned on in position 1, but the fact that there is a defect and the relay is not working correctly will be indicated by pauses between sweeps of the blades. Often the relay simply goes away, and the wipers and heater do not work at the same time. In this case, you usually need to tighten the contacts.

In searching for the reasons why the wipers on the VAZ 2110 stopped working, you also need to check the limit switch located on the cover of the gear motor. It is also advisable to clean the contacts from oxide and bend the contact petals.

Troubleshooting windshield wipers

If the motorist has at least minimal experience in servicing the vehicle, then the repair of the unit in question can be done on their own.

Before performing work, you need to figure out how to remove the wipers on a VAZ 2110 and what you will need for this.

Considering the design, it consists of several fasteners, unscrewing which will allow you to get to the brushes. In turn, complete installation of windshield wipers will require more time. The work is performed in the following sequence:

  • dismantling the dashboard;
  • in the lower left part of the panel there is a relay attached directly to the body. If the device fails, you need to buy a new one;
  • fuse check;
  • disassembling the steering column. This must be done in order to assess the state of the switch. Often the part has mechanical damage. The insulation may also be damaged. All defects must be eliminated;
  • dismantling the electric motor and then checking it. In rare cases, the device can be repaired. Experts recommend purchasing a new electric motor, and at the same time a relay;
  • drive check. Quite often the pulley fails.

The trapezium of the wipers of the VAZ 2110 model is also a vulnerable point. Dirt and moisture may get inside. The amount of lubricant also affects the performance characteristics of the trapezoid.

In the absence of lubrication, rapid wear of the hinges occurs, and this leads to the appearance of play. Considering that the trapezoid is a device for transmitting force to the wiper arms, the appearance of backlash causes disruptions in the operation of the system. If the hinges are worn, the trapezoid must be replaced.

Troubleshooting the windshield wiper electrical system

If there are no signs of the electric motor working, you need to check the functionality of fuse F5. It is located in the mounting block. If the fuse is in good condition, then the problem lies in the electric drive system.

To test the circuit, you need to use a multimeter.

If a large value is displayed on the screen, this indicates damage to the wire or contacts. To troubleshoot problems, the following types of repairs are performed:

  • cleaning contacts in the fuse box;
  • crimping contacts in the connectors of the gearmotor, as well as the steering column switch;
  • replacement of wiring;
  • Replacing the lever on the steering column.

If the relay fails, the wipers can operate in fast mode (third position). The problem in this situation may lie in the steering column switch. It is recommended to pay special attention to the ring switch, which is located on the cover of the gear motor. In this unit you need to clean the burnt wires and, if necessary, bend the contact petals.

Electromechanical problems

An electric motor that shows no signs of life, no click and a blown fuse F5 - all these problems indicate faults in the gearmotor, which can be eliminated by replacing one of the components:

  • dirty collector in the electric motor rotor;
  • brushes that ensure continuous contact in the motor;
  • burnt collector;
  • broken armature winding.

There are other options: the electric motor does not want to work, but there is a click, or the fuse blows. In this case, you need to return the left lever to its base position as quickly as possible, since these problems indicate a short circuit in the electric motor. It needs to be completely changed. With the same problems, there may be minor faults: brushes frozen to the glass, or wipers touching body parts. Under such circumstances, you need to carefully separate the brushes or straighten their mounting arms.
