The light bulb in the interior lamp provides uniform illumination of the entire interior of the car, which is very important during night trips or, especially, multi-day trips. But, over time, it, like any other light bulb, fails, thereby causing the driver and his passengers considerable discomfort. Today we will talk about how the interior lighting system of a car works, and we will also talk about how to change a light bulb in the interior of a VAZ 2114 with your own hands.
Interior lamp of VAZ 2114
Let's summarize
So, any car owner can replace the light bulbs in the dashboard if he wants to do something with his own hands.
The procedure takes about half an hour. While a trip to a car service center and talk about replacing the entire dashboard, which auto electricians will certainly offer, performing the service itself will take the driver much more time and effort. Welcome! The light bulbs in the instrument panel play an integral part; when it is dark in the car, the buttons should be illuminated at least somehow, and if the buttons are not backlit, then firstly it will not be very convenient in the dark, since the buttons simply will not be visible even in -secondly, the appearance of the panel will be more modest, you will agree that when the buttons light up, the panel looks much more interesting, but besides the buttons, there are other elements in the panel that are also illuminated, one of the most important such elements is the instrument cluster, there are also light bulbs inside it are present, thanks to them the entire instrument cluster is illuminated, all the indicators in it, you can see all this in more detail in the photo below, let's move on, all lamps have the ability to burn out and therefore it is not uncommon for button lamps or lamps that are in combinations are installed, after that at night the panel no longer looks as beautiful as it should, and if the lamps in the instrument cluster fail, such as the oil pressure lamp, for example, then in this case you will generally need to sound the alarm, because when not such essential panel indicators are working, operating the car is simply dangerous, and this is easy to understand, if we talk specifically about the oil pressure indicator, then it should light up when the key is turned to the start position and when starting the engine it turns off, if it does not turn on at all, then either the sensor is faulty, or the lamp itself is faulty, but as a rule, the lamp for such important indicators rarely fails, because they burn for a very short time.
Note! In this article, we will analyze all the lamps that are in the panel and explain how to replace them, for this you will need: A screwdriver, new lamps and time with patience, because such work is not done in two minutes (If we are talking about the instrument cluster), and much longer, since in this case the floor of the torpedo will still have to be disassembled; by the way, you may also need thin pliers, because in the instrument cluster there are several sockets with lamps, which are very difficult to reach (They are in the depths) and if your fingers are large, then There is no way you can remove the cartridge except pliers!
Where are the light bulbs located in the instrument panel? In cars of the Samara 2 family, there are quite a few light bulbs in the dashboard, but although in cars such as the VAZ 2110, Priors, and so on, there are no less of them, you already understand everything about the buttons and the instrument cluster, but in addition to these elements, light bulbs are still present in cigarette lighters and stoves, all these light bulbs can be found on the reverse side, for example, to find the stove lamp, you will need to remove the plastic antennae that are on the levers, then pry off the plastic itself and completely remove it from the dashboard, thereby you will get to the stove lamp , the situation is similar with the cigarette lighter, the lamp with the socket is in the back of it, but you won’t be able to get it, so to change the lamp, you will need to remove the side trim on the driver’s side and there you can find both the cigarette lighter socket and the lamp and replace them , we will talk about this in more detail in this article (It will be a little lower).
Replacement of interior trim
Most often, vinyl leather is used as a new material. A natural analogue can be called impractical for such a machine. You need to think about the color scheme in advance. It is better not to make a strong variation in shades so that the interior does not look flashy or even vulgar. After this, you need to prepare the following tools and materials:
First, use a knife to remove all the old upholstery from the doors. Next, we apply vinyl skin to the fiberboard slabs, which are most often installed under the fabric, and mark the boundaries of the doors, making marks for the holes and handles. After this you can go two ways. Simpler: just cut out the pattern and nail it to the surface with a stapler. The second option: make two patterns, sew them together, stuff a thin layer of foam rubber between them, like a case, for better thermal insulation, and then secure with staples. Re-sheathing the roof is carried out in the same way.
In what ways can you achieve original license plate lighting?
Recently, there have been frequent cases when LEDs are inserted into the ceiling instead of conventional lamps. Such lighting is bright and attractive, making the car original and interesting.
It is important that the lighting has a color acceptable by GOST standards and that the numbers are readable
It can be installed on a VAZ 2114 car in two ways.
First way
Replace standard incandescent lamps with LED lamps (they have the same contacts as in factory products).
It is also important to choose the right light bulbs; too bright ones will quickly fail and take up too much energy. It’s also not worth installing very expensive products, because the backlight will become very noticeable, distracting drivers from the road process
Low quality light bulbs can have various defects and quickly fail. So we buy light bulbs from trusted representatives and use them economically.
Second way
Install LED strip. To do this, you will need resistors - 3 pieces and the same number of LED strips. Their colors are very diverse, but it is best to choose white or yellow tones.
If a motorist, in spite of everything, wants to replace the standard backlight with LED, the following steps must be followed:
- Solder a resistor to the positive end of the LED segments.
- Attach small wires to its end and the negative side.
- The result is a design with two contacts, which are powered by wires from the standard backlight.
To give the tape an original design, you need to take a piece of plexiglass and glue the strip onto it with silicone sealant. Next, we connect the wires of the tape to the contacts of the factory backlight lamps and make insulation.
At the next stage, we prepare the surface for installing the product:
- remove the lampshades;
- degrease the fastening side with solvent;
- after drying, apply sealant and glue the LED strip;
- We seal the tape along the edges and leave it until completely dry.
We check the operation of the design in action. If everything is functioning correctly, the job has been done effectively. In exactly the same way, you can illuminate the license plate around the edges, but this can lead to problems with the traffic police. Let's remember this!
LED lighting looks attractive both during the day and at night, making the car bright and original.
Replacing backlight bulbs
After removing the plastic, you can begin the process of replacing the lamps.
- The required number of lamps to replace the backlight of each sensor and panel device is calculated in advance.
- Lamps and resistances are installed in special places - sockets - after removing the block.
The cartridges are unscrewed counterclockwise by hand, without the use of tools. New ones are installed in the vacant spaces, then lamps are inserted into them. The LED heads are screwed in with correct polarity. Placing new lamps on the instrument panel. - The power is connected and the functionality of the updated backlight is checked.
Checking the backlight lamps using a multimeter. - The instrument panel is being reassembled.
The wiring is neatly routed to the board and attached to it, so that the parts will not interfere during assembly. The instrument panel is reassembled with the sensor arrows placed. - All arrows of sensors and instruments must be positioned correctly. If you rush too quickly during installation, you may break or bend them.
- The entire structure is attached with screws.
- The power supply of the LEDs and light bulbs is combined, the arrows are placed in their places and set to zero.
- The operation of the panel instruments and sensors must be checked by the on-board computer.
If everything is functioning properly, the dashboard is reassembled and returned to its original state. Assembled and tested instrument panel of VAZ 2114.
Video: replacing the dashboard backlight bulbs of a VAZ 2114 Replacing the dashboard backlight bulbs of a VAZ 2114 is an easy job that can be done by the most inexperienced car owners. You can restore its functionality in a matter of minutes, the main thing is to correctly select and install sensor and instrument lamps.
Today we will talk about such a common problem as the failure of the dashboard lamps on the VAZ-2114. The VAZ-2114 model is good in many ways, it is aesthetically pleasing and dynamic, has good technical characteristics, but the dashboard leaves much to be desired in terms of quality and reliability. We will tell you how to replace panel lamps in this article.
Operating procedure
Replacing the backlight on a VAZ 2114 begins with purchasing a set of LED lamps in the color you need. On the instrument panel, there are several sensors and indicators that require a certain number of diodes to ensure their normal visibility for the driver, especially at night. Therefore, before buying a set of lamps, calculate the required number of LEDs for each device. For example, a brake sensor requires 3 bulbs.
Location of light bulbs on the dash
It is advisable to buy with a reserve, at least 5 - 10 lamps more. Since, during installation, you can damage one of the circuits and the LEDs will not work. This often happens to those who are doing this work for the first time.
You need to start work by removing the instrument panel, as well as turning off the resistance. Next, carefully remove the old backlight bulbs from the factory sockets. On the reverse side of the VAZ 2114 panel, there are special sockets designed for installing LED backlight bulbs.
After the old backlight is removed, carefully grind off the heads of the LED lamps to the required size. If this is the first time this work is being done, then you will most likely need spare diodes. Next, when the heads are prepared, they need to be installed on the instrument panel. Replacement of light bulbs must be carried out strictly according to the same polarity as in the standard version.
After the diodes are in place, they need to be secured. Do not under any circumstances use screws for this. Scotch tape is also not suitable for this type of thing. When choosing a fastening element, you need to assume that it will heat up a little. Silicone glue is ideal for this. It will not damage the surface of the panel, thanks to its soft consistency, and will securely secure the light bulbs in the sockets.
Now, you need to check the quality of the work done. To do this, without putting the panel in place, turn on the ignition and look at the result. If everything works as it should, then the replacement was made correctly. If there are any inconsistencies, then you most likely have violated the polarity of connecting the backlight bulbs on the VAZ 2114. To fix the problem, you will need to find the connection diagram and double-check whether all the bulbs are in their places. If, after turning on the ignition, the backlight does not light up at all, then you need to check the integrity of the wires. The wires installed on diode lamps are quite thin and can easily break under the insulation or even break completely. So, be careful when handling them.
Functions and types of fuses
The protective element protects equipment from damage and combustion during overloads. When large currents enter equipment that is not designed for them, or when there is a short circuit, a section of the circuit is at risk. Therefore, fuses are included in the circuit, which, in the event of a threat, break and open the contact.
This is achievable thanks to the unique design of the element. It is protected by a case made of special glass or heavy-duty ceramics. Contacts, working thread and fusible element are built inside. Contacts are designed to connect to a circuit. A fusible element, made of a conductor or an alloy of current-carrying metals, melts when an excess current passes through it. When the circuit instantly breaks, an electric arc is formed, which carries the danger of a spark. In order to extinguish the arc, a thread is built into the fuse.
There are several types of fuses based on voltage and amperage. The element is characterized by two current values: the rated current of the insert and the rated current of the housing, sufficient to destroy the fuse. The VAZ 2114 uses low-voltage fast-acting protective elements.
Depending on the purpose of use, there are two types of fuse markings: g and a. The former is able to withstand exceeding the rated current for a long time. This is necessary to start electric motors. This type of protective elements can protect against both overload and short circuit. The second class of protective devices is intended only for protection against short circuits and high currents.
Depending on the current the protective element is designed for, it is customary to designate the protective element in different colors, this helps to quickly navigate when troubleshooting electrical circuits.
Blue devices open the circuit when 15 A is exceeded, yellow ones - 20, and white ones - 25. The most powerful fuse is green. It is rated at 30 A.
The light in the interior of the VAZ 2114 does not work: a lampshade with LED
In a standard way, on the base model the issue of interior lighting on this car is resolved quite simply:
- interior lamp of VAZ 2114;
- individual interior lighting lamp;
- dashboard lighting.
There is also lighting for the glove box and interior lighting of the VAZ 2114, which includes illumination lamps for the front ashtray, heater switches and levers, and the hydraulic corrector scale for the front lamps.
The interior lighting is a simple electrical device. Built into the upholstery in the middle, upper part of the body, above the heads of the driver and passengers.
It should light up when the doors are opened and go out when they are closed, a simple electrical signal is supplied from limit switches installed on the door pillars.
The interior has switches on the front and rear side pillars on each side for manually turning on the dome light.
VAZ 2114 interior lamp
There are times when the light in the interior of a VAZ 2114 does not work. Such issues are often discussed on the forums of fans of this car. In fact, there should not be any special problems in fixing such a problem. There is a proven action plan in such cases.
- Check the functionality of the lamp. If it does not light up, the fuse is faulty and should be replaced. If the brake light works properly, then the fuse is fine and you need to look further.
- Check the condition of the light bulb, if it is working, then you need to check the contacts and limit switches on the door pillars. If an LED lamp was installed, then change the polarity; there could be a mix-up during installation.
- It is necessary to measure the current at the contacts, whether it flows or not. If there is no current, then you need to ring the entire circuit; a breakdown in the wiring is possible.
- The limit switches on the door pillars should be checked very carefully; experts and many of those who communicate on the forums say that this is where problems often occur. There may simply be a bad contact that needs to be adjusted.
We recommend: Failures in the side light circuit
Tuning the ceiling
Such a pleasant and exciting thing for a car enthusiast as do-it-yourself tuning is also possible with a courtesy lamp. Instead of the usual one, a lampshade with a programmable LED lamp is installed. It has advanced features:
- selection of three brightness modes, this selection is made by switching the switch at intervals of one second, the last switching on is remembered;
- shutdown delay 6-8 seconds with smooth extinguishing of the lamp;
- automatic shutdown when the door is not closed or not tightly closed after 30 minutes.
The price for such a lamp is only about five hundred rubles, so the choice is obvious.
The procedure for installing and connecting a lamp with a programmable LED lamp:
- the plastic diffuser of the standard lamp is removed;
- the wires are disconnected from the contacts of this device;
- the four self-tapping screws holding the light housing on the body ceiling are turned out and the body of the old device is removed;
- the LED illuminator is released from the plastic transparent diffuser cover;
- the electrical wiring is connected to the plugs of the LED illuminator in accordance with the diagram;
- the body of the new lamp is attached to the ceiling of the body in a regular place with self-tapping screws;
- The plastic diffuser is fixed on the body.
It should be noted that such a lighting device produces brighter light, which in the dark is a good help for all people who are in the car.
How to remove the dashboard
Since the backlight of the VAZ instrument panel burns out relatively often, the designers took care of quick and easy replacement of elements with minimal disassembly of the car itself. For this we need:
- flat screwdriver or knife;
- A fairly long Phillips screwdriver.
First of all, you need to remove the decorative trim on the VAZ instrument panel, which is secured with five screws - I marked them with arrows
Places for attaching the decorative trim Please note that the upper right screw is covered with a decorative plug - it must first be removed with a knife or flat screwdriver
Now we remove the plastic handles placed on the control engines for the VAZ stove and dampers. If the car has a radio or receiver installed, it will also have to be removed. Now we pull out the cover and move it to the side: the length of the wires and cables is quite enough for this.
Shifted decorative trim. Thus, we get access directly to the VAZ instrument panel, which is secured with two screws on the left and right. We unscrew them with a long Phillips screwdriver.
Removing the dashboard
Carefully pull out the tidy, not forgetting that two power and control harnesses are connected to it.
Removed dashboard
We disconnect the connectors of the harnesses, and now the instrument panel can be carried to the workbench, since it is much more convenient to replace lamps on it. We place it face down. The light bulbs are inserted into original sockets, allowing you to replace the device with one movement of the hand, without disassembling the panel itself. I marked one of them with an arrow.
Instrument panel of VAZ 2114 from the back side
To remove such a light bulb, just turn it counterclockwise 90 degrees and pull it slightly towards you.
Removing the backlight bulb on a VAZ 2114 (the protective plastic cover has been removed)
In this case, the protective plastic cover of the shield does not even need to be removed: the light bulbs are already easy to remove.
Solution
The stores offer several options for light sources for replacing lamps in the instrument cluster:
- traditional incandescent lamps,
- LED in a plastic socket,
- SMD LED is a more expensive and reliable option, a super-bright diode.
The choice will always depend on financial capabilities and lighting preferences.
The number of backlight and control lamps is up to 19 pieces. It varies slightly depending on the design of the instrument cluster and the modification of the vehicle. Many car owners choose LEDs due to lower energy consumption and longer service life. This backlight is brighter and gives an interesting bluish color instead of the standard green. But due to the design of the diode, the brightness control of the instrument illumination will not work, always turning it on at full power. On a long road trip at night, this can be distracting and irritating to the eyes. But in any case, the choice of light sources is yours.
Required spare parts
Before you fix your dashboard, you need to decide which bulbs you will use to replace the ones that have failed. You can use the same option that was used by the manufacturer, but experts recommend using more modern models. They are not only functional, but can effectively transform the panel. So, to choose from:
- standard lamps A12-1.2 (article 21061-3709500);
- standard lamps AS12-5-1 (article 2101-3746998);
- LED light bulbs ShoMe SM T5 (article 3035);
- LED light bulbs with high brightness SMD (article 182294);
- Osram halogens (item 2473MFX6, 2721MF, 2886X).
Up to 19 devices will be required, depending on the machine modification and combination
Important! The car market offers a wide range of light bulbs, you can choose by technology, color, brand. It is important that the technical parameters of the devices are adequate to the car’s dashboard

Greetings to all ! Tell me too. The light in the cabin, the fisheye and the trunk light do not work. The tidy is all in order. The door switches are in good working order. Pres and relays are intact. Tell me where to dig? Where to start searching? Auto VAZ 2115
move the chip as described below, it won’t help, remove the mounting block... oxidation.
My friend’s interior lamps did not work and, accordingly, the polite lighting did not work. We dug through everything. The reason was in the fuse box. When it was removed, everything was oxidized to the point of horror. We cleaned the block and everything worked.
I’ll try to take pictures, without light it’s not very good
Since the front is intact and the connector is in place, then most likely the track in the MB has burned out
move the sh9 connector in the mounting block under the panel, everything else works, the tidy for example?
Yes, the whole panel, Bordacek, the light in the trunk, it all works
The light in the trunk is powered by the dimensions, that's why it's on
Useful video
You can glean additional interesting information from the video below:
Admin, you will publish it already. VAZ 2114 2009 interior lighting does not work. The fuse is intact. Where to look for the reason? The light in the interior of the VAZ 2114 does not turn on.

Look at the contacts in the lamp itself
if it doesn't work when the doors are open, change the limit switches, I have the same crap
Is it even needed there?
Remove the dome light and check if there is voltage
They ask stupid questions, as if there are psychics sitting here. If the front is intact, the lamp is intact, then there is something wrong with the wiring. You need to disassemble it and call it with a tester.
The lamp is intact, there is power, it may light up for a couple of seconds and go out again
The contact is bad somewhere
How does the alarm behave if the light doesn’t come on when you open the door? In general, in your case, most likely the limit switches on the doors need to be cleaned and screwed in with a new screw, that’s how I fixed it.
Is the lampshade factory? If so, then look at the lamp, look at the chip on the lampshade; everything was oxidized there, check to see if the voltage is flowing to it with a control. If the lampshade is neon, then the box that ignites the lamp has been screwed up. If the lampshade does not light up when the doors are opened, unscrew the limit switches, remove and clean the black coating natfill from this aluminum crap and move on
The lampshade is factory, but there is a diode board inside, and the small cool lighting switch does not light up yet. When you open the doors, the cabin beeps that the doors are open and also shows that the door is open. The alarm works fine, but it all started after the wash.
Why the light in the interior of the VAZ-2115 does not work: let’s understand the issue
Lighting in the VAZ-2115 is one of the most important components of comfortable movement by car at night. If the interior light does not work, the driver faces a lot of inconvenience.
The light emitted by street lamps will not help you find the desired item in the glove compartment, therefore, it is best for the driver to take care in advance that all the light bulbs and other components of the car’s electrical equipment work stably and reliably. But what to do in a situation if the lighting fixtures in the interior of a VAZ-2115 for some reason refuse to fulfill their duties?
The main reasons for the lack of lighting in the cabin
Inside the VAZ-2115, the manufacturer often installs one lamp located directly on the ceiling and individual lamps.
It is attached using fasteners and is activated when the doors are opened. Drivers have been familiar with this principle of operation of a lighting device since the “classic” times.
The lamp can also be turned on and off manually using a switch located on its body.
The lampshade and other lighting fixtures are part of the electrical system, therefore, if any malfunctions occur with the light, you should start looking for the problem from the electrical circuit diagram.
Most drivers prefer to have their car electrically repaired, but such a nuisance can be fixed on your own.
To do this, you need to arm yourself with a minimum set of tools and the circuit itself.
The main reasons for the lack of lighting inside the car are:
- Burnt out light bulbs;
- Breakage inside the lampshade;
- Relay or fuse problem;
- Breakdowns in the wiring.
When the reason why the lighting fixtures have stopped functioning properly has been determined, you can safely move on to fixing the problem yourself. As a rule, such work does not cause any particular difficulties for novice drivers. All you need is basic knowledge of how automotive electrical equipment works.
Repairing light in VAZ-2115
The first step is to make sure the light bulbs are working. Often the driver goes into the real jungle, looking for a breakdown when it is on the very surface.
Using a screwdriver, unscrew the fastening elements of the lamp cover and remove the light bulb. You need to make sure that there is a filament, or simply connect the lighting element to the battery.
If the light comes on, you should proceed to the next stage of searching for the problem.
Very often, in cars of the VAZ family there is no light due to a breakdown of the lamp itself. There are often cases when the contacts inside the element melted, resulting in a short circuit.
The lampshade can be easily removed using a screwdriver. It is possible to check its functionality by ringing the contacts.
It is also recommended to conduct a thorough visual diagnosis, which very often provides answers to all the driver’s questions.
The consequence of a short circuit is the breakdown of the relay or fuse. It is enough to replace failed elements with new ones, after which the light in the VAZ-2115 interior will light up again. Breakdowns that occur in a car's electrical wiring are perhaps the most unpleasant and frightening malfunction for drivers.
Not many people have the skill and experience to operate this car system. Therefore, if the reason for the lack of light lies precisely in the wiring, it is best to leave your “iron horse” in the experienced hands of an electrician.
The difficulty in handling wiring is due to the fact that diagnostic operations involve ringing the wires from the power supply to the lamp or button.
How to properly replace a burnt out element
Removing the fuse box
You need to pull the fuses out of the corresponding sockets using special plastic tweezers, which can be found here, in the upper right corner of the VAZ 2114 mounting block. You cannot pry fuses on non-energized circuits with any metal objects due to the risk of a short circuit. It should be taken into account that the electrical circuits of the sound signal, alarm, etc. are always energized. To ensure safety when repairing the circuits, the circuit must be de-energized - you just need to disconnect the wire from the “negative” terminal.
It is not always possible to visually accurately determine the performance of fuses. It will be possible to make a clear decision only after the “ringing”. To do this, you will need a regular tester, which will need to be set in advance to the “dialing” mode. After this, it will be enough to simply attach two terminals of the tester to the terminals of the suspicious fuses. If a characteristic sound is heard, the fuse is good - the cause of the malfunction of the car’s equipment is not in it, but probably somewhere further in the wiring or in the device itself.
Lastly, never use copper “inserts” or fuses that are not rated for amperage. Using an inadequate replacement designed for a higher current, there is a risk of damage to the “track” of the unit’s printed circuit board and even failure of the electrical appliance. Insufficiently powerful fuses will not be able to ensure long-term and uninterrupted operation of the current consumer in the vehicle's electrical network.

Buy lamps for VAZ cars
Cars are different. Some cars are one hundred percent equipped and they have good lamps for VAZ cars, others have light, but not as good as we would like, and still others are completely in trouble. Light benefits everyone to varying degrees. It depends on the time of day, duration of the trip and the purpose of using the car. If you are a taxi driver, then a lamp for a VAZ car may be useful to a greater extent only because of picky customers. Some are afraid to drive without light, some are afraid of you without light, and others are generally used to reading on the road. You can't please your customers! In general, you can’t help but think that it’s still worth buying lampshades for car lighting.
Select lampshades for VAZ cars
And you yourself, I think, have had occasion to be annoyed by the fact that it is difficult to find and see something in the cabin in the dark. And if you add to this insufficiently good eyesight... The cost of saving on your own health will be higher than for lampshades for a VAZ car. Lighting in the driver's cabin bothers owners of modern cars less often than owners of old budget-class cars. But sometimes the “native” car lighting is still not enough. Then the question arises about replacing lampshades for VAZ cars. The easiest way out is to change the light bulb. But this is not always enough.
Lighting tuning
In order to save yourself from a lot of problems with lighting, you can install a VAZ 2114 interior lamp with customizable LED backlighting instead of a standard lampshade. Such tuning is within the capabilities of almost every motorist - it does not require either complex tools or extensive knowledge in the field of auto electrics. The most important thing you will need is to purchase a ready-made lampshade at a car dealership (it usually costs around 500 rubles).
For this money you will buy not just a new light source, but also such advantages as:
- efficiency;
- the presence of three customizable lighting modes with a memory function;
- delay before turning off (7 seconds) followed by smooth turning off of the backlight;
- function of automatically turning off the lighting when the door is not closed or not tightly closed after half an hour from the moment it was turned on (which is very convenient if you left the door open and did not turn off the lighting).
Installation of the LED lamp is carried out in the following order:
- Remove the plastic diffuser cap of the standard lamp (it is secured with latches).
- Disconnect the wires from the lamp contacts.
- Unscrew the screws (4 pieces) holding the lamp housing to the interior ceiling, and then remove the housing.
- Remove the diffuser cap from the new lampshade.
- Secure the housing of the new lampshade to the ceiling using self-tapping screws.
- Connect the wires to the contacts of the new lamp (in this case, be sure to take into account the attached diagram with the indicated polarity of the device. It is strictly forbidden to connect an LED lamp without taking into account the polarity).
- Secure the diffuser cover to the body of the new lampshade.
Repairing light in VAZ-2115
The first step is to make sure the light bulbs are working. Often the driver goes into the real jungle, looking for a breakdown when it is on the very surface. Using a screwdriver, unscrew the fastening elements of the lamp cover and remove the light bulb.
You need to make sure that there is a filament, or simply connect the lighting element to the battery. If the light comes on, you should proceed to the next stage of searching for the problem.
Very often, in cars of the VAZ family there is no light due to a breakdown of the lamp itself. There are often cases when the contacts inside the element melted, resulting in a short circuit. The lampshade can be easily removed using a screwdriver. It is possible to check its functionality by ringing the contacts. It is also recommended to conduct a thorough visual diagnosis, which very often provides answers to all the driver’s questions.
The consequence of a short circuit is the breakdown of the relay or fuse. It is enough to replace failed elements with new ones, after which the light in the VAZ-2115 interior will light up again. Breakdowns that occur in a car's electrical wiring are perhaps the most unpleasant and frightening malfunction for drivers. Not many people have the skill and experience to operate this car system. Therefore, if the reason for the lack of light lies precisely in the wiring, it is best to leave your “iron horse” in the experienced hands of an electrician. The difficulty in handling wiring is due to the fact that diagnostic operations involve ringing the wires from the power supply to the lamp or button.

What do VAZ fuses protect?
In order to quickly identify the causes of malfunctions in the VAZ 2114 electrical system, it will be useful not only to know the color codes. Knowing the purpose of each of them, the process of identifying a breakdown is accelerated.
Rated currents of the Lada electronics:
ZE F1 and F2 are designed for a rated current of 10 A. The first protects the rear fog light bulbs from burning out. The object of protection of the second is the light direction indicators, emergency lights and relay-breakers of these devices.
Protective elements F3, F4, F8 - F15 are manufactured for a maximum amperage of 7.5 A. They are designed to protect interior light bulbs and trunk lighting, and the engine start light on the instrument panel. One of them protects the rear window heating circuit. Individual elements prevent a short circuit from occurring in the circuit of the left and right fog lamps. F10 is responsible for breaking the circuit of the license plate lighting bulbs, the dashboard and the lighting under the hood. The remaining 7.5-amp protective elements protect the head optics lamps (dimensions, low and high beam headlights).
An element with a current of 15 A is necessary to protect many elements, the main ones of which are: the generator winding, oil pressure lamps, and brake fluid temperature. The 20-amp fuse F5 is responsible for the sound signal and the electric motor that rotates the cooling fan.
The most powerful, 30-amp electrical circuits protect the contacts of power windows, electric heater motors, windshield washer and headlight cleaners.
We fix the lights and get acquainted with electrics
Since the main fault locations have been identified, you can safely move directly to methods for solving the problem. It is worth noting that with automotive electrics, not everything is so simple, but since this is a VAZ-2114, everything can be said very clearly here. Let's move on to methods for solving the problem.
Bulb
The first thing that needs to be checked is the lighting lamp, since its burnout can cause the light to go out in the car interior.
In order to get it out you will have to remove the lamp cover. After this, you need to check whether there is a filament, and insert the lamp into the control device or simply connect it to the battery. If the lamp lights up, then it is not the cause of the malfunction.
Ceiling lamp
More than once, the cause of the malfunction was the lamp itself, where the contact group simply melted and closed, which caused a burnout or a blown fuse.
To diagnose it, you will need to remove it from the car and visually inspect it. It is also recommended to ring the contacts going from the lamp to the wiring.
Fuse and relay for VAZ-2114
Replacing the fuse may solve the problem
The next reason is a blown interior lighting fuse. This part can burn out due to a short circuit, which for various reasons occurs in the on-board circuit. Often the short circuit is caused by a malfunction of the lampshade.
The interior lighting relay is marked with an arrow. Often the contacts burn out and prevent the light from turning on.
Wiring
Broken wiring may cause a malfunction
Electrical wiring is every car enthusiast's nightmare. For some, everything is clear, but for others, it’s a “dark forest.” So, during diagnostic operations, it is necessary to ring the wires going from the lampshade to the power supply or button.
conclusions
There are few reasons for the malfunction of the interior light in the VAZ-2114, and every novice car enthusiast will be able to determine the cause of the malfunction. It is worth remembering that if a car enthusiast is not sure that he can deal with the problem, then it is best to contact a car service center.
