If the window regulator does not work, the malfunction can be caused by two reasons - problems in the electrical or mechanical parts. In some cases, the part can be repaired, but in others, all that remains is to remove the non-working window regulator and replace it with a new device. What are the features of electrical and mechanical malfunctions of Lada Priora windows? How to properly replace the mechanism? Let's look at these questions in more detail.
Mechanical problems
Failures in the mechanical part can be detected without ignition. Below are the main malfunctions of this type:
- Recession of the shield.
- Worn gear bearing.
- Worn teeth on the gear of the device.
- The window regulator is jammed due to oxidation of the moving elements.
- Damage to the cable mechanism. During operation, stretching or damage to integrity is possible, which in the future often leads to the cable slipping off the guide rollers.
Electrical faults
In a situation where the window regulator on a Lada Priora car does not work, the cause may be a malfunction in the electrical part, namely:
- Fuse F31 has blown. This is where you should start checking in the event of a mechanism failure. The fuse link is located in the power control mounting block. If an element burns out due to a short circuit, replace it. At the same time, make sure that the wiring is intact.
- Faulty motor brushes of the electric drive (they may stick or freeze). A similar problem is possible if the graphite brushes overheat. As a result, the plastic socket in which they are installed melts. The shields “stick” to the hole and stop moving.
- The voltage at the input to the electric motor has disappeared. If the window regulator does not work, one of the reasons is a break in the supply circuit. Look for such a breakdown of the Priora in the control unit or in the relay. It will be useful to clean the contact group.

If the mechanism itself breaks down, it needs to be replaced.
Features of power windows on the Lada Priora
Like many other cars, the Lada Priora has sliding windows on the front and rear doors. They are moved up and down using power windows, which are controlled using a button on the door. The driver of the car controls the movement of all windows, and the passenger controls only his own.
There are two types of car window lifters - cable and rack and pinion. In Lada Priora cars, the design of the mechanism has much in common with devices on other models. The main difference is the absence of a power window unit. The functions of the device are taken over by the TsBKE - a built-in controller that controls the electrical package. It is located in close proximity to the ECU.
Power is supplied to the window lifting mechanism according to a slightly different principle. One wire performs several functions at once, thanks to the ability to change polarity, depending on the task at hand - controlling mirrors, central locking or power. That is why, if the window regulator does not work, it is not possible to immediately find the reason.

How to remove a window regulator and install a new part
To remove the window regulator, prepare the necessary tools. To work, you will need wedges (made of wood or plastic), as well as a ten key. Please note that the removal and installation of mechanisms on all doors (rear and front) are identical.
To dismantle the window regulator on the Lada Priora, do the following:
- De-energize the vehicle's on-board network by removing the negative voltage from the battery.
- Remove the door trim.
- Raise and lower the window. This is required to gain access, through the top of the door, to the bolted connections holding the glass to the mechanism slider. Remove the bolts.
- Raise the glass manually to the top position as far as it will go and secure it using prepared wedges made of wood or plastic.
- Discard the block with wires from the mechanism that lifts the windows.
- Unscrew the nuts that hold the gear motor.
- Unscrew the nuts holding the mechanism guide.
Once all the fasteners are removed, remove the window regulator through the special hole. During the dismantling process, check the reliability of the glass fixation. At the end of the work, return all the parts to their place using the reverse algorithm. If you do everything according to the instructions, then removing the window regulator and then putting it back in place will not be a problem.

When purchasing a new window mechanism, be careful - study the markings and choose exactly the same window regulator. Check the installed device for quality of installation and make sure it is operational. Make sure that the glass closes tightly and that there are no gaps or distortion. If such defects are detected, loosen the screws that hold the glass frame to the slide. Finally, set the correct position through the oval holes in the slider.
If the window regulator on a Priora does not work, start by identifying the problem and then proceed to fix it. If the problem lies in the mechanism itself, or the breakdown cannot be repaired on site, then you will need to remove the window regulator for repair or replacement. At the same time, be careful and take into account the features of the mechanism in this car.

Wooden or plastic wedges.
- 1. Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.
- 2. Remove the front door trim of the Lada Priora
- 3. Lower or raise the glass so as to gain access to the glass frame mounting bolts through the upper hole of the Lada Priora door. Remove the two bolts securing the glass frame to the window lifter slider.
- 4. Lift the glass with your hands until it stops and secure it with wooden or plastic wedges.
5. Disconnect the power window wiring harness connector.
6. Unscrew the three nuts securing the VAZ 2170 window lift motor gearbox.
7. Unscrew the four nuts securing the guide of the Lada Priora window lifter mechanism...
8. ...and remove the window regulator from the door through the service window.
This is what the front door window lifter mechanism removed from a VAZ 2171 looks like.
- Pay attention to the markings of the VAZ 2172 Lada Priora window regulator in order to purchase exactly the same one for replacement.
- 9. Install the VAZ 2171 window regulator in the reverse order of removal. After installation, check that the glass closes tightly and without distortion. If this is not the case, loosen the screws securing the glass frame to the slider and adjust it to the desired position using the oval holes in the slider.
How to remove the front window lift mechanism assembly
The first step is to perform a procedure such as removing the front door trim. After this, unscrew the two bolts securing the glass to the bracket on the lift. The bolts will only be accessible when the glass is raised up. This is clearly shown in the photo below.
To prevent the glass from falling down during this repair, it is necessary to fix it by placing something between it and the inside of the door. Next, you can unscrew all the power window mounting nuts.
This mechanism is attached in several places:
- from above, in the place where the glass is fixed, and also a little higher in the very corner of the structure
- below also in the corner
- and closer to the center of the door where the motor is installed - there are three nuts
Then disconnect the plug with the power wires by simply pulling both ends to the sides with a little force.
Next, we lower the structure so that the motor appears in a special opening:
It is through this that the entire structure should be removed from the door, which will be clearly shown in the photo.
And we remove it completely out so that further manipulations can be carried out.
Design and types of window lifters
The Lada Priora has tempered glass on the front and rear doors. A window lifting mechanism is used to raise and lower them. The power windows are controlled using a button on the car door module. The driver can control the movement of the glass of all doors, and the passenger can only control the glass of his door. According to the principle of operation, the devices are divided into rack and cable.
Despite the fact that the Priora's window lifting mechanism is similar to other models, its difference lies in the absence of a window lifter block. Its function is performed by the built-in electrical package control controller (CBKE), located near the ECU.
In addition, power is supplied to the drive in a specific way. One of the wires is multifunctional. It changes polarity depending on the function performed: it controls the central locking, mirrors, and power supply. This makes it difficult to troubleshoot and repair the window regulator.

Description of the electrical package control unit
The electrical package controller in Priora is a device used to control the functionality of the vehicle. This unit is responsible for the operation of turn signals, power windows, control panel lighting, dimensions, fog lights, interior lighting, and rear window heating system. This device also ensures the normal operation of the reversing lights. The fact that the car is equipped with this device makes it even more practical.
Priorovsky electrical package control controller
Location
The control device on the Priora is located above the electronic engine control unit, at the bottom of the center console, in the middle. In this case, the device is connected using two connectors - power and information. The power output is used to supply voltage to the control unit, and the information output is used to perform the functions of the device. It should also be noted that the control unit is protected from external influences of dirt and moisture.
In general, this device is a circuit installed in a plastic case. The board itself includes 15 chips, each of them performing certain functions. This is the entire electrical part of the car, including power windows, door open sensors and a control system for external electric mirrors (the author of the video is the CompsMaster channel).
terms of Use
In order for the node to operate normally, certain conditions must be met:
- the air temperature level in the car interior should be from -45 to +40 degrees;
- the air humidity level in the cabin should be no more than 90%;
- The voltage parameter for normal operation should vary around 9-15 volts;
- The atmospheric pressure level should be up to 800 mm Hg.
As practice shows, malfunctions in the operation of this device often appear as a result of its overheating or disconnection of wires or contacts inside the structure. If you are faced with the problem of a device failure, first of all you need to visually diagnose it. It is quite possible that the reason can be discovered only by looking at the device.
Common faults
Malfunctions of the mechanism that raises the windows can be electrical or mechanical in nature. Regardless of the nature of the breakdown, you can do the repair yourself (video author: Xie Dan).
Mechanical failures can be detected without ignition.
The following are typical mechanical problems:
- wear of the teeth on the device gear;
- sunken shield;
- a defective cable mechanism can stretch or deteriorate, and later during operation it will come off the guide rollers;
- jamming of mechanisms due to oxidation of moving parts;
- gearbox bearing wear.
Mechanical defects of the device
Among the electrical reasons why the power window on a Priora does not work are the following:
- If all four power windows do not work, the first thing you should check is fuse number F31. It is located in the power management mounting block. If the element burns out as a result of a short circuit, it should be replaced. In this case, it is advisable to check all wiring.
- Sticking or sticking of the brushes of the electric drive motor. This happens due to overheating of the graphite brushes, which melts the plastic nest in which they are located. Thus, the brushes stick to their nest and lose mobility.
- No voltage at the motor terminals. The cause may be an open circuit. The fault must be looked for in the relay or control unit. In addition, the contacts should be cleaned.
Fuse block
If the mechanism itself that raises the windows is faulty, then it needs to be replaced.
Causes of failure
Priora window lifts break down due to the car being in conditions of regular low temperatures for a long time, problems with the electronic control unit, failure of fuses, wear of the motor and other lift components, as well as skewed glass.
Before carrying out repairs, it is necessary to diagnose those car systems in which the cause of the breakdown of this element may be hidden. Diagnostics are best carried out using tools and devices, for example, a tester will allow you to understand whether voltage is supplied to the window lift motor.
Once the cause of the problem has been identified, repairs can begin.
Removal and installation instructions
To carry out the work, you will need a “10” key and plastic or wooden wedges. It is important to know how to remove the window regulator on the front doors; dismantling and installing the rear window regulators on the Priora is carried out in a similar way.
The procedure consists of the following steps:
- First of all, for safety reasons, it is necessary to de-energize the car by removing the negative terminal from the battery.
- Next, the door trim is removed.
- Then you need to raise or lower the glass so that there is access through the upper door opening to the bolts with which the glass frame is attached to the device slide. These bolts should be unscrewed.
- At the next stage, you should lift the glass up to the end with your hands and secure its position with the help of prepared wedges.
- Then you need to disconnect the block with the wiring harness from the window lifting mechanism.
- After this, the nuts are unscrewed, thanks to which the gearmotor is held in place.
- Then the fastening nuts of the device guide are unscrewed.
- When all the nuts are unscrewed, the window regulator is removed through the technological hole. When removing the glass lifting mechanism, you need to ensure that the glass is securely fixed.
- Installation of the device is carried out in the reverse order.

Principle of operation
In the late 80s and early 90s, when most people were not so spoiled by the abundance of foreign cars, owning your own car with an automatic window opener was considered a luxury at that time. But, nevertheless, times have changed; now you will hardly be able to find a car that is equipped with a handle that you need to turn in order to inhale air. Electric power windows are now considered a standard feature of modern cars, just like mirrors and windshield wipers. Almost no one has seen this device, which is responsible for raising or lowering the windows.
The mechanism of this device is located between the base of the door and its casing, attached to the door thanks to screws and nuts.
The electric drive looks like in school physics lessons an electric motor for experiments, whose force influenced the gear-screw device. At its base lies an armature with a winding, in a cylinder-shaped housing, and a stator is located inside.
The rod located in the center is connected to a spiral, which resembles a meat grinder device. As soon as the rotor begins to rotate, the helical gear imparts force to the gear, which turns the handle. This process influences the lift mechanism, which raises and lowers the glass. However, it is worth saying that each car door has its own motor to lift the windows.

Window lifter.RF › Blog › Replacing the rear right electric window on a LADA Priora
Our buyer Ivan Igorevich Fokin from Moscow sent his next photo report on replacing the rear electric window on a LADA Priora car as part of his participation in our promotion.
In our Lada Priora the problem occurred again, only the window regulator on the rear right door broke. It was decided to order a window lifter, but not as an assembly, as last time, but separately the mechanism itself without a gearmotor.
Electric window lift for VAZ-2110 rear right without gearmotor.
Tools: shaped screwdriver, star screwdriver, 10 socket, 22 socket, plastic tool, adhesive tape, electrical tape, scissors.
We unscrew the screws from the panels, only 3 pieces - red arrow.
Take a tool for plastic. We use it to pry the panels in the direction as indicated in the photo, and remove them to the side. Again, use this tool to remove the door panel, starting from the lower left corner, moving in a counterclockwise direction, and unfasten the panel clips. Having unfastened the panel with clips, lift it up, the panel is removed.
We remove all the insulation so that it does not interfere.
Unscrew the nuts - red arrow.
We lower the glass a little in order to remove the strip from the door body mounted on the bolts.
Raise the glass to its highest position and secure it with tape.
We remove the engine bolts and racks from their mounted places and pull out the old window regulator through the corner.
After we have pulled out the power window, unscrew the 4 screws and use a 22mm head to unscrew the bolt/nut with a rubber surface, removing the gear motor cover.
We “throw” the gear motor onto the new window lifter and tighten the bolt/nuts, after which we connect it to the chip and check its functionality. As a result, there are 4 screws left that are not used.
In the reverse order, we insert the window regulator and, first of all, install the engine on the bolts with the nuts. Perform subsequent manipulations strictly in reverse order.
Thank you, Ivan Igorevich, for another prepared photo report. We will transfer the promised prize to your mobile phone account.

Electric windows "GRANAT" are an original Russian development that has no analogues. It is simple, reliable, tested over the years on various car models. Window lifters "GRANAT" are deservedly popular among Russian motorists. An excellent choice both for tuning and as a replacement for faulty original electric windows. A special feature of the GRANAT window lifters is: - the operating principle in which the motor reducer, together with the glass frame, moves along a fixed guide (rail) of the window lifter using a toothed shaft; — are installed in place of the guide of the original window lifter and are attached to the standard holes, while drilling additional holes and modifying the doors is not required. To attach the window regulators to the door and the carriage to the glass frame, fasteners from the replacement window regulators are used.
Main advantages: - reliable original design, - absence of glass distortions, - absence of bending elements guarantees long-term uninterrupted operation, - window lifter is equipped with an imported gear motor, - noise level 40 - 50 dB (no louder than a running car engine), - electric window lifter during the established operating life does not require special maintenance.
Parallel connection - diagram
Wires from the main button next to the driver's ESP motor go directly to pin 88 of the relay and from pin 30 directly to the engine, and long wires from the backup button go to pin 85 of the relay winding, and the relay feeds a powerful plus to the passenger's ESP motor. A parallel connection for power buttons is preferable, since there is no need for a relay on the main (passenger) button, thereby eliminating unnecessary relay clicking when the main button on the passenger door is operating.
Overview of General Concepts
Installing rear power windows on a Priora is clearly not within the capabilities of every driver who decides to install it themselves or replace a failed device with their own hands. Before installing these devices in a car, you need to have at least approximate knowledge of the operating procedure and the principle of operation of the device itself. Without this, proper repair of the window regulator is impossible. The electric window mechanism is installed inside the doors. Priora's window regulators consist of an electric motor, a drive and an electronic control unit. According to the ESP design, it can be:
- cable (most common);
- plank;
- rack and pinion
In some configurations of the Lada Priora, factory rear ESPs are installed, which does not eliminate the need for knowledge about their design. Replacing a window regulator is a problem that comes up unexpectedly, so it's best to be prepared for it in advance.
As some car owners have found out, in order to install power windows, you need to be able to understand electrical wiring and have a lot of patience. In particular, in the 2008 Priora, it was discovered that the rear door wiring was not completely routed, which seriously complicates the work. In addition, the operation of standard ESPs with the ignition off is impossible, even if you insert a jumper into the desired relay.
There are many sets of rear lifts on sale that are compatible with the VAZ-2110, Granta and Priora. The cost of the kit can reach 3,500 rubles, depending on the type of design and manufacturer. Installation of equipment at the service will cost approximately the same amount. Many VAZ 2170 Priora owners sooner or later face the problem of failure of standard power windows. There are two common reasons:
- Broken cable.
- Electric drive failure.
The work of standard window closers also causes criticism, due to which the car is often left wide open. They also resort to replacing them quite often.
Replacing the driver's door window lifter + door card noise
Replacing the driver's door window regulator is not a difficult task. The resource of the piece of iron is exhausted after 4-5 years of operation. I’ll note that about a month ago I took everything apart and patched up the structure—it was enough for exactly a month. Now it has been decided to replace it entirely with a new mechanism. Moreover, the price more than suited me. By today's price standards, and even more so in comparison with the same mechanisms for imported cars, the price of 455 rubles for a new factory window lifter trapezoid is very acceptable.
By the way, it comes complete with a motor. In this case, the price range is about 1000 rubles. Symptoms of failure are as follows:
First, compare the new part with the old one for possible differences. Although I checked it in the store using the catalog number.
Everything else is intuitive. We transfer the motor to a new part. A couple of deft movements and everything is cool. The only trouble that I definitely remember was the process of removing the trapezoid with the motor from the door itself. I had to tinker, to put it mildly, - it’s not so easy for him to get out of there. Well, if you have the scrupulousness of a macaque, everything will work out!
Next>>>> Along the way, it was decided to add some noise-absorbing materials to the already installed vibration noise. I wanted to take “Biplast Premium”, but it wasn’t available anywhere, so I took a slightly simpler material, just “Biplast” 10mm
