The procedure for independently connecting mirrors on the Lada Granta Liftback

14 February 2018 Lada.Online 89 139 10

AVTOVAZ first began installing side mirrors of the new SE model (with heating, electric drive and turn signal indicators) on the Lada Granta liftback. Then they began to be equipped with Luxe trim levels of the sedan. The following describes how to install and connect standard liftback mirrors with your own hands to simpler versions of the Lada Granta sedan, as well as to the Lada Kalina station wagon and hatchback.

Heated mirrors

Autumn and winter will bring both rain and snow, or even better, both at the same time, mirrors and our

visibility will suffer. Therefore, in wet weather, in snow or when the mirrors are icy, the “mirror heating” function is indispensable, because it will literally warm them up in 4-5 minutes and dry them, just while the car is warming up.

We buy special mirrors

Installation:

1. Remove the rear mirror trim and the mirror element - this is the most difficult and important thing.

2. Next, unscrew the 3 bolts from the interior and disconnect the mirror from the bracket.

3. Now you need to pull the wires through the special holes where the adjustment cables pass.

4. Assemble the mirrors in reverse order.

A special feature of the Lada Granta Liftback is a new modification of the side-view mirrors. By default, they are included as standard, unlike the Lada Granta Sedan, Priora, VAZ 2109, 2108, 21099.

Due to various reasons, such as an accident, collision, impact, reflectors are damaged. The replacement process is not at all complicated; every car enthusiast can do it.

In order to provide methodological assistance to inexperienced owners of the Lada Granta Liftback, we recommend following the instructions below.

Installation

Remove the door trims and dismantle the old exterior mirrors (by removing the mounting screws). Mirrors of the new SE model are installed in place of the old ones without modifications.

To install the joystick, make a hole in the door trim using a file or a utility knife. Sample:

To stretch the wires from the interior to the doors (see connection below), you will need to drill a hole in the door rosette with a drill (or find a suitable female-male connector).

Sequence of actions when replacing a side view mirror yourself

1. We place the car on a level platform and provide unobstructed access to the front door from the side where the replacement will be.
2. We unscrew the two screws that secure the door card trim and pry the plastic clips around the perimeter.
3. From the back side, disconnect the block with wires from the electric drive control unit, disconnect the speaker terminals, and remove the card.
4. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, unscrew the three screws and remove the side-view mirror from its seat.
5. We replace the block with a new one and screw it into place. We lay the block with wires and connect them to the sockets. We assemble the structure.

How to remove Lada Granta mirrors

1. Remove the mirror adjuster retaining bracket.
2. Remove the 3 screws securing the mirror to the door frame.
3. Remove the mirror.
4. The photo shows the Granta side mirror assembled.

1. Disconnect the connector from the power mirror wires.
2. Remove the 3 screws securing the mirror to the door frame.
3. Remove the exterior mirror Grant assembly.

Reviews

Conclusion The process of independently replacing side-view mirrors on the Lada Grante Liftback is not at all difficult. The design is fixed with three screws, connection to the power circuit is carried out by two blocks with wires. Following the recommendations given in this manual, replacing a new mirror will take no more than 10 minutes. Negative reviews from some owners are unfounded and are caused by violation of the operating conditions of the technical equipment and failure to comply with maintenance schedules.

Installation of heated mirrors on Granta

Required:

1. Elements of heated mirrors from the company (for example, Salina at a price of 550 rubles)
2. Wire 0.75-1mm2 several meters 50r.
3. Terminal “small mother” (2 pcs). 10 rub.
4. Terminal ring “ground for screw” (2 pcs). 10 rub.
5. Clamp terminal (1 piece). 5 rub.
6. Fuse holder (1 piece). 28 rub.

Connecting heated mirrors Lada Granta

• We fasten the two negatives from the heated mirrors onto the ground screw above the fuse block.
• We solder two positive wires to the fuse holder (15A) and connect them to the gray wire under the carpet. There will be two gray wires in the harness (one is the fuel pump), and the second is the heated rear window. Using a multimeter or test light, we find +12V, which appears after turning on the rear heated glass.

Thus, we connected the Granta heated mirrors through 2 fuses and a relay.
All that remains is to connect the mirror elements to the terminals and check the operation. If you want to connect heated mirrors to a separate button, you can use the following diagram:

Now we perform the assembly in reverse order. In total, this modification of the mirrors took about 3 hours of time. By the way, along with installing heated mirrors, you can immediately make noise insulation for the doors.

Heating element for side mirrors

The cold season is ahead, creating additional difficulties for motorists, including fogging and freezing of side mirrors.
Driving with such mirrors is not only inconvenient, but also dangerous. And opening the window every time to clean and wipe is not much fun, especially if it’s cold and rainy outside. Many foreign cars are equipped with a heated mirror system. It is really very convenient because it allows you to keep your mirrors clean in any weather. But only on budget models, as well as on domestic cars, such equipment is very rare.

There is still a way out of the situation, and more than one:

• Purchasing mirrors with an integrated heating system;
• Purchase and installation of factory heating products (film, printed heaters);
• Folk remedies;

As for mirrors, this is the most expensive solution to the problem; moreover, it is not always possible to find elements that are suitable for mounting. Factory products are cheaper, but they require selection according to shape.

Among the simple folk remedies, you can use a regular car incandescent lamp, which is placed in the mirror housing. This solution to the problem is inconvenient because there must be enough space inside the case to install the lamp and the base for it.

The simplest and cheapest, yet effective way to provide heated mirrors is to use nichrome wire.

This work requires a little more skill than, for example, installing a spoiler. Therefore, having a little skill in handling car electrics, or an assistant with such, is welcome.

Heating improvements

So, if you just need heating, then it is better to use a standard part, replacing the glass with the same one with a thermoelement, or install it yourself.

Precautions before starting work:

1. Be sure to turn off the voltage of the vehicle's on-board network! (remove battery terminal)
2. To prevent accidental damage to the wires when the door is accidentally closed, install limiters.

Tools and materials you will need:

1. Branded mirror elements of heated mirrors;
2. Insulating tape;
3. Several meters of 0.75-1 mm2 wire;
4. 2 terminals “mother small”;
5. 2 ring ground screw terminals;
6. 1 screw terminal;
7. 1 fuse holder;
8. Round needle file, soldering iron, set of screwdrivers, heat shrink.

Wiring

The next step is wiring. To install the wiring, you will need to remove the front door trim.

When the door is disassembled, the wires are pushed into the door through the fastening hole, and the interface block is disassembled. Through it and the corrugation, the electrical wiring is pulled into the housing. In order to simplify the task, you can drill an unoccupied contact in the block, and thus thread the plus and minus. To pull the wiring through the door corrugation, it is more convenient to use wire. Important (!) - for your own convenience, it is better to throw in extra wires.

1. Elements of heated mirrors from a company (for example, Salina at a price of 550 rubles)

2. Wire 0.75-1mm2 several meters 50r.

3. Terminal “small mother” (2 pcs). 10 rub.

4. Terminal ring “ground for screw” (2 pcs). 10 rub.

5. Clamping terminal (1 piece). 5 rub.

6. Fuse holder (1 piece). 28 rub.

9. Round needle file, heat shrink and electrical tape.

It is worth noting that on our website there is already a similar publication about heated mirrors on the Lada Kalina, which you can install yourself.

Connecting heated mirrors Lada Granta

To install the wiring, you will need to remove the front door trim. Now we push the wires through the mirror into the door and disassemble the connection block. We pull the wires through the block and corrugation into the interior. In order not to suffer, you can drill a free contact in the block and thread the positive and negative wires through it (it is still better to connect the ground in the cabin than on the door - the contact will be better).

We pull the wires through the corrugation of the door using wire. We do similar work on the passenger side.

It was decided to connect the heated mirrors in Grant to the heated rear window (this is the most popular method, which is also used on foreign cars).

1. We screw the two negatives from the heated mirrors onto a screw with ground above the fuse block.

2. Solder two positive wires to the fuse holder (15A) and connect to the gray wire under the carpet. There will be two gray wires in the harness (one is the fuel pump), and the second is the heated rear window. Using a multimeter or test light, we find +12V, which appears after turning on the rear heated glass.

Thus, we connected the Granta heated mirrors through 2 fuses and a relay. All that remains is to connect the mirror elements to the terminals and check the operation.

If you want to connect heated mirrors to a separate button, you can use the following diagram:

Connection

Connecting the central lock

. We use a circuit of two relays so as not to go under the panel to the central locking unit:

Connecting heated mirrors

(to the wiring harness under the driver's threshold)

Connecting mirror turn signals

:

• Option 1: Pull the wire from the direction indicator on the fender.
• Option 2: To the wiring harness under the driver's threshold (blue - left turn signal; blue-white - right).

We transfer the wires from the power windows from the standard buttons to a new block with a joystick.

For Lada Kalina and Granta with heated and electric side mirrors (without direction indicators):

• The new mirror has a chip with six wires, but the old one has only five. We pull the sixth contact, which is used to operate the turn signals.

The process of installing exterior mirrors from a liftback on a Lada Granta sedan is also shown in the video:

On a modern car, heated mirrors are a necessary and irreplaceable thing, and Granta is no exception: you can make heated mirrors with your own hands!

We purchase heated mirror elements “Salina”, the cost is about 500-600 rubles.

1. Wire with a cross section of 0.75-1.0 mm (10 meters) - 150 rubles.
2. Small female connector (2 pcs.) - 10 rub.
3. Ground ring connector for screw (2 pcs.) - 10 rub.
4. Clamping connector (1 pc.) - 5 rub.
5. Fuse block (1 pc.) — 30 rub.

1. Soldering iron
2. Sample
3. Thin and regular screwdrivers
4. Round needle file, heat shrink, electrical tape

We take the end of the wire that was pushed into the door out of the door. This is where a needle file comes in handy: we firmly attach the wire to the needle file with wire, and pull the file through the corrugation

We attach the minus to ground (I attached it to ground above the fuse block). We combine the “pluses”, connect them to the fuse through the block, and cover the exposed areas with heat shrink.

There are two gray wires in the wiring harness: one is the power supply to the fuel pump, the other is the heated rear window. Using a probe, we determine which of them goes to heated the rear window (“plus” appears on it only when the rear window heating button is turned on). We connect the fuse block with a continuous clamp to the found rear window heating wire

We connect power to the mirror elements (using female connectors). We put everything back together in reverse order.

We enjoy the excellent performance of the heated mirrors on the grant!
