Reasons why one low beam headlight may not light up, and methods for eliminating them

It’s paradoxical, but true: every third car owner encounters a situation where the low beam headlights are not on, but the high beam is on. Straightforward logic on the topic that if the optics are covered, then there should be no light at all does not work here.

This also happens, for example, to many VAZ owners: on Tolyatti models, for some reason, the right headlight is susceptible to the disease described, even on almost new cars; with the left, this incident happens much less often.

However, you should not blame exclusively domestic, so much-maligned, manufacturers: optics can sooner or later start to act up on any car. And here the point is no longer about the reliability of this or that brand, but rather about the deterioration or fatigue of some parts.

Content

The easiest way, without a doubt, is to entrust everything to the reliable hands of a trusted auto electrician, but it is not too difficult to cope with some problems on your own - if you have the smallest amount of free time and a primitive acquaintance with the basics of electrical circuits.

The low beam of the headlights does not light up, but the high beam is on - this phenomenon can be due to several reasons. And most of them are quite easy to fix. Moreover, this can happen to your car at a completely inopportune moment: on the highway, for example, when you need to switch to low beam so as not to blind oncoming drivers with headlights

Let's try to deal with all the flaws one by one, and consider: what may be the most common options for repairing and troubleshooting such an important segment as low beam

Recommendations for use

To prevent big problems from arising and fix minor problems when it's easiest to do so, you need to follow a few simple rules:

Periodic inspection	It is necessary to check the functionality of the lighting devices before each departure, in addition, at least once a month inspect the engine compartment and pay special attention to the reliable fastening of the wiring harnesses and all connections; very often problems arise due to the fact that the car’s wiring dangles and rubs against moving parts. elements
Monitoring the status of devices	If you hear extraneous sounds when you turn on the lights (relay clicks), or a button or steering column switch begins to work poorly, then it is better to immediately deal with the problem, without waiting for the moment when the unit fails.

Also, you should not drive with damaged headlight lenses, as this will allow moisture to get inside and the internal elements will deteriorate.

You shouldn’t skimp on quality either - a low price is most often an indication of low reliability, and in the end you will still overpay due to frequent replacements

Advice! When choosing a paw or any other element from the electrical equipment system, you must be guided not only by the seller’s advice, but also by information from the Internet, for example, on our portal there are descriptions of most manufacturers, which is very convenient.

The low beam bulb on the Grant must be of high quality, this is the only way to guarantee its durability

Other reasons why one low beam headlight does not light up

Sometimes the abnormal operation of headlights lies in very unusual reasons. Thus, there is a known case when the owner of a Niva turned off the low beam after he dismantled the headlight cleaners, which had long ceased to function. As a result, for a long time he could not understand why the low beam on both headlights turned off. Only through experimentation did he manage to discover that for the headlights to work normally, the presence of any motor, be it left or right, is necessary. Ultimately, it was necessary to create an imitation of the presence of these elements by closing the contacts going to them.

This example illustrates that if, after checking all electrical circuits and the functioning of all elements, the malfunction cannot be eliminated, you should remember whether any changes or improvements have been made to the design of the car in the foreseeable past. After all, it cannot be ruled out that in the process of making changes, some brilliant idea of an engineer at the car plant was violated, which provoked the disappearance of the light.

In cases where all of the above measures were taken, but it was not possible to achieve normal operation of the low beam lamp, you should contact specialists at a service station. Otherwise, further searching for the reason why one low beam headlight is not on may take a lot of time without achieving the desired result.

Finding out the reasons that caused the low beam to fail and gaining experience in eliminating them will also help if the opposite problem occurs - the high beam stops lighting while the low beam is working normally. As a rule, the causes of the malfunction in this case are the same as those described above, only they are also supplemented by inadequate operation of the steering column switch. By the way, it can also be the reason why one low beam headlight does not light up. And in this case, it is best to simply replace it.

Possible causes of malfunction

So, if the low beam in one of the headlights of a Lada Kalina does not light up, then the reason most likely lies in a burnt-out light bulb. Replacing it will not be difficult for every car owner.

However, unfortunately, there are a number of other reasons for this malfunction, the most common of which are the following:

The contacts in the plug block are oxidized or burnt;
The fuse has blown;
Open circuit;
The relay has failed.

Below we will look at how to fix all these problems.

Replacing the lamp

Replacing the low beam on Kalina is quite simple. Moreover, you will only have to spend a few minutes of your time on this.

The only thing is that before replacing old lamps, you need to purchase new ones of the H7 standard. It is advisable to install new bulbs on two headlights at once so that they provide the same glow.

Note! On sale you can find several types of H7 standard bulbs - halogen, xenon and LED, for example, for fog lights on a VAZ 2110. All types have different prices, but most importantly, they have different characteristics. On our portal you can familiarize yourself in detail with the features of all these lamps.

Replacement instructions are as follows:

First of all, you need to remove the rubber plug located on the back of the headlight. To do this, you must first open the hood.
Then you need to remove the positive and negative terminals from the contacts.

Next, you need to press the spring bracket with your own hands and remove it from the seat.
After this, you need to remove the old light bulb and put a new one in its place.
Then you need to replace the bracket, put the terminals on the contacts and install the plug.

Note! When replacing light bulbs, do not touch their glass bulbs with your fingers, otherwise they may quickly burn out.

When replacing light bulbs, you need to pay attention to the quality of the contacts. If the contacts are oxidized or burnt, they must be cleaned.

Replacing the fuse

If, after replacing the lamps, the low beam headlights in the Lada Kalina still do not work, you should check the fuses. They are located in the mounting block under the steering wheel.

The lamps are protected by different fuses:

Right lamp – F12
Left lamp – F13

It must be said that it is not always possible to visually identify a blown fuse. Therefore, even if it has no external defects, you should check the voltage at the terminals with a test lamp or multimeter.

Note! If, after replacing the fuse, the lighting turned on, but after a while it disappeared again, it is necessary to measure the voltage that the generator produces. It is advisable that when the engine is running it does not exceed 14.4 volts. If the voltage is higher, you can try replacing the control relay.

Open circuit

If the fault cannot be eliminated, then you need to find an open circuit.

You can do this as follows:

If there is no voltage at the fuse terminals, you need to ring the wire that goes from F13 to contact No. 56 of the lighting control unit, since you can turn on the low beam headlights on Kalina using switch No. 5.
If the wire is intact, but 2 headlights do not light, then switch No. 56 must be replaced. However, you should first check whether voltage is supplied to the switch itself.
If voltage is supplied to fuses F13 and F12, you should check whether there is voltage at the relay output. Let us remind you that the low beam relay in the Lada Kalina is located in the mounting block.
If there is no voltage, you should check the area from F12 to contact No. 56 of switch No. 4, which is located on the steering wheel, as well as the area from terminal No. 56a to terminal 1 of relay K7. It is also quite possible that switch No. 4 or the relay itself is not working.

Replacing the latter is not difficult, since it is simply inserted with contacts into the socket.

In cases where there is voltage at the relay output, you should check the wiring of the machine from the mounting block to the headlights according to the diagram.

Note! If the low and high beams on Kalina go out in one of the headlights, then perhaps the contact at the ground terminal has lost. To check it, you need to disassemble the headlight unit.

As we can see, finding an open circuit or a faulty part is not difficult. To do this, you only need a low beam circuit on Kalina and a multimeter or test light. These are, perhaps, all the main reasons for this malfunction on the Lada Kalina car.

Fuse burned out

For this reason, one low beam headlight often does not light up. To eliminate it you need to do the following:

open the block that contains all the fuses of the automobile electrical circuits;
Using the diagram, the fuse that is needed is determined. As a rule, if it has burned out, it is immediately visible;
replace the faulty element with a working one.

By the way, if blown fuses become a frequent occurrence, then you should look for a breakdown in the wiring. To determine it, you need to ring all the elements of the electrical circuit, or seek help from specialists. Moreover, this must be done without fail, since the presence of a short circuit can cause a fire.

Fuses and relays Lada Kalina 2 with block diagrams and description of purpose

Lada Kalina 2nd generation ( VAZ-2192, VAZ-2194

) was produced in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2022, 2022 and 2022 with hatchback and station wagon bodies in both standard versions, as well as all road versions of Cross and sports versions - Sport. In this publication you will find a description of fuses and relays of the 2nd generation Lada Kalina with block diagrams and photos - examples of execution. Let's highlight the fuse responsible for the cigarette lighter. In conclusion, we will offer complete electrical diagrams of Kalina 2 for download.

The execution of the block diagrams and the purpose of the elements in them may differ from those presented and depend on the year of manufacture and the level of equipment of your Kalina 2 car (luxury, standard, norm). Check the description with yours, printed on the back of the protective cover or other technical documentation.

Block in the cabin

The main fuse and relay box is located in the passenger compartment, under the instrument panel on the driver's side, behind the protective cover.

Why the car's low beam light doesn't light up: 4 reasons!

Firstly, if the low beam bulb does not light up when the high beam is working, you need to check whether it has burnt out. In this case, the lamp may have two separate filaments, one of which lights the high beam, and the other lights the low beam. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in the fact that they can turn on autonomously from each other.

Replacing a halogen lamp on a headlight is not difficult, even if you are not an auto electrician. Let's consider a simple algorithm for this procedure:

the hood of the car must be opened and secured;
the protective cover must be removed from both sides of the headlight;
disable contact group;
remove the spring clips;
remove the burnt out light bulb;
put a new one in its place;
return all removed elements to their place.

It is important to know a few rules for working with lamps:

it is necessary to degrease the surface of the bulb before installation, otherwise there is a high risk that the lamp will immediately burn out due to contamination;
It is not recommended to work with a glass flask with bare hands. This may leave traces of grease on it that cannot be removed and the lamp will be damaged. The best option is to use cotton gloves, and if you don’t have them on hand, you can wrap the flask in a cloth or napkin.

The fuse is broken

This is the second common reason why the low beam light of one of the car headlights does not light up. Let's look at how to fix it yourself:

the fuse box for electrical circuits must be opened;
if one of the fuses has blown, it needs to be identified (usually this is not difficult) using a diagram;
The faulty fuse must be replaced with a new one.

Let us clarify that if fuses on your car often burn out, you need to look for a breakdown in the wiring. Then, using a special device, it is necessary to ring the wires to determine where their integrity is compromised. If it is impossible to do this yourself, you need to contact an electrician who can find the cause of frequent breakdowns. In fact, this is a rather serious problem, in which repairs cannot be put off for a long time, since breakdowns in the wiring can lead to a short circuit and fire of the machine.

Wiring is damaged

What if the low beam light doesn't come on because of a wiring problem? Then you need to check the blocks through which the relay and fuse box are connected. The reason may be a poor connection, or the contacts may oxidize, which leads to increased current, overheating of the wiring and failure of the lamp. To repair this damage, you need to tighten all the pad fastenings, but before doing this, do not forget to clean all contacts with an abrasive material.

In addition to the pads, you need to check the headlight switch, since the contacts on it may also be oxidized, or there may be a poor connection in this place. Any experienced technician will start searching for the cause of non-working headlights from the button to turn them on, and only after making sure that it works properly will he continue to search for the answer to the question: “Why don’t the low beam lights light up?”

Non-standard reasons

Sometimes the headlights don't come on for very unusual reasons. For example, one car enthusiast’s Niva car stopped turning on its low beam after dismantling faulty headlight cleaners. Of course, he was not immediately able to determine that the breakdown was caused by his actions. But, as it turned out, the low beam went out due to the lack of motors that were necessary for the normal operation of the headlights. To solve the problem, the car owner created an imitation of the presence of motors, shorting the wires in the places where they should have been, only after that the problem was solved.

The example given above shows that if you have checked both the wires and contacts, but the low beam lights do not light up, remember what manipulations you recently carried out with your car. Perhaps after the last “pumping” of the car the problem appeared. After all, by making any changes to the design of the car, you can automatically disrupt the operation of the complex system of its functioning, designed at the manufacturer.

If you are sure that nothing has been changed in the car, you need to contact a service station for help in repairing headlights. After all, you can spend an indefinite amount of time and effort searching for the cause of a breakdown.

Knowledge of how to find the cause of the low beam not working and fix this breakdown yourself will also help in the opposite situation, when the high beam does not light up, but the low beam turns on without difficulty. In this case, in addition to the problems listed above, there is a malfunction of the steering column switch, due to which, by the way, only one of the headlights may be on. The best solution in case of such a breakdown is to replace it.

Fuse blown

An equally common reason why headlights do not light up. The block where all the car fuses are grouped is opened, the pinout of their location is taken and the required one is looked for. A burnt jumper is in most cases visible to the naked eye. Even a schoolboy can handle sticking a whole part into place, so a trip to the service station in this case will probably also be unnecessary.

By the way, if fuses blow with unenviable regularity, it means there is a breakdown somewhere in the wiring. Either wire the entire circuit yourself, or visit a professional electrician - problems with the wires can lead to all sorts of troubles, including a fire.

Wire problems:

And in very different places. You will have to check all the connectors at the connection to the relay and the fuse box. They may be poorly screwed and fall off; may oxidize and not pass current. In the first case, it is enough to tighten the clamping nuts; in the second, clean the contacts.

You should also check the power button: very often the wire that leads to it becomes oxidized or comes loose. We can say that in domestic cars, first of all, you should inquire about the button, and only then go somewhere deeper.

Called to come in to adjust the headlights) ► — Lada Kalina Sedan, 1.6 l., 2007 on DRIVE2

This evening I went to the service center to adjust the headlights, but not everything went so smoothly. Having checked the left headlight, they said that it shines well, but as soon as they took hold of the right one, they said: alas, it cannot be adjusted. In general, the adjusting screw apparently broke or flew out of its socket in the headlight itself. Like you have to remove the headlight and disassemble it, and the price tag accordingly will no longer be 300, but 1500 wooden ones. Well, I agreed, because... You need to pass a technical inspection before the end of August. But they say, come tomorrow and leave your car, that we’re kind of closing now. Well, I went home upset. And then I think - maybe it will make their task easier? — and decided to remove the headlight myself. Damn - why is everything in Kalina through the ass? Why, one might ask, did they make the headlight in such a way that it could be removed by first unscrewing the front bumper and the bumper reinforcement beam?! THE FUCK?! In other cars, the headlight can be removed in 3 minutes. In general, I have not encountered this yet - I prepared the necessary screwdrivers and keys and began to remove the radiator grilles and bumper. It took exactly an hour to remove the grilles, bumper, bumper reinforcement beam and the headlight itself, and he did it almost in the dark. I did not disassemble the headlight, because... It's plastic - there's no particular desire to heat it in the oven. I think tomorrow I’ll try to take only the headlight to the service center without the car and leave it for repair and adjustment, because... The car itself will be needed during the day. I immediately apologize for the quality of the photo - I took it on my phone in the twilight and darkness. Below is a photo of hemorrhoids on removing the “headlight.” In Kalina everything is done somehow strangely. I wouldn’t be surprised if they told me that if you want to remove the battery, you need to unscrew the rear right wheel.) In general, I hope that in the new restyled Viburnum the design will be more practical and easier to remove than the current Viburnum)

Reasons for adjusting headlights

Headlight position during final adjustment

Many car enthusiasts do not understand why and how to adjust headlights. According to regulation No. 699 of the “International Automobile Convention” of December 12, 1999, there are basic rules for the use of light at night. It states that car light must fall at a certain angle, offset to the right for left-hand drive cars, and to the left for right-hand drive cars.

It is for this purpose that headlight correctors are installed on the car. If they are not enough for full adjustment, then you need to adjust the light manually by adjusting the headlights using the mounts.

Another reason is the load on the car, the curb weight, as well as the number of passengers who regularly drive the car.

The process of adjusting headlights on Kalina

The headlights should only be adjusted with low beam, the PTF should be turned off. If you do not have fog lights, then read the material on how to install them.

Before proceeding directly to the adjustment process, you need to refuel the car to a full tank, put on a spare tire, and also call an assistant. Place a helper behind the wheel.

Garage door adjustment process

Thus, it turns out that the car is fully equipped. Ideally, have a standard adjustment marking for headlights on the wall of the garage, but if this is not available, you can use a regular wall.

Markings on the wall when adjusting headlights

Let's look at how to adjust the headlights on a Lada Kalina:

We check and adjust tire pressure to normal.
The distance between the wall and the car should be 5 meters.
We apply markings as in the figure above.
Open the hood and unscrew the top headlight mount.
For each headlamp, we adjust the light beam separately.

Adjustment of headlights through special holes in the front panel. 1 - in the horizontal plane), and 2 - in the vertical plane.

Sets the headlights according to the standard specified in the service book. If it is not there, then you can use the picture below.
Tighten the headlight mounts and close the hood.

How to remove the headlight on Kalina 2: adjusting, tuning and replacing the low beam lamp

Checking and adjusting the headlights, replacing the low beam lamp on the Lada Kalina-2

In head optics, low beam lamps most often have to be replaced. For a Lada Kalina car, the low beam lamp is a halogen lamp with an “H7” socket, the power of which is 55 watts (no more). Osram bulbs may come from the factory, but others will do. After replacement, the filament will occupy a new position, and the headlight adjustment may be lost. So, checking the settings, and, if necessary, adjusting the headlights is carried out immediately after replacing the lamps, which on the Lada Kalina is done without dismantling the headlight unit.

Step-by-step replacement instructions

Each H7 standard bulb has an iron base, which is pressed to the headlamp with a wire clamp. To bend this bracket, just get close to the plane of the headlight from behind. Let's open the hood and see what exactly will bother us.

Behind the headlight on the right is a washer reservoir. It is dismantled like this: disconnect the electric motor terminals, tighten the plug harder, find one nut and one fastening bolt. The fastening elements are unscrewed with a 10mm wrench, then the tank is placed on the engine. Next we could look at how to remove the headlight on Kalina-2, but in this case this is not required.

Before performing any manipulations with electrical equipment, always disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. It is better to connect this terminal last (before closing the hood). Be careful.

Replacement sequence:

Remove the rubber cover covering the low beam lamp compartment;
Disconnect both terminals from the lamp contacts;
The fastening bracket is removed from the grooves by first pressing on it, then the bracket is moved to the side;
They take out the lamp, install a new one in its place, and return the bracket to its place.

Next, perform steps “2” and “1” in reverse order. The connection diagram is not important - there are only two contacts, and both go to the filament. Now, if we connected LEDs. then everything would look more complicated.

When installing a halogen light source, you must remember: the surface of the lamp glass must be perfectly clean. Do not allow grease marks to remain on the flask. Installation is carried out using only cotton gloves. The glass of the flask is cleaned with industrial alcohol or Secunda.

Adjusting the headlight beam

Correctly adjusting headlights can only be done in a service station. However, let's look at how this operation is performed by experienced craftsmen.

There are two adjustment screws on the back wall of the unit called the headlight unit. The first of them, located closer to the radiator, allows you to deflect the light beam “up and down”, and the “horizontal” direction is adjusted with the second screw. Ideally, this should happen: when the car is 5 meters from the screen, the border of the light spot touches line “2” (see figure). Line “1” is spaced from the ground at a distance equal to the height of the centers of the headlights. The second line is drawn 65 mm lower.

When making adjustments, the corrector switch is moved to position “0”. Of course, you only need to turn on the low beam. We also note that the headlights are adjusted one by one (the “excess” light source is covered with a cloth).

Here are a couple more tips that will be useful:

The centers of the beams should be on lines AE, BE;
Line “0” has the following meaning: it intersects with line “1” at one point, so the border of the spot should pass exactly through this point;
The caps of the plastic adjustment screws are compatible with a hex screwdriver. However, a Phillips screwdriver will also work.

So, we have fully examined how to adjust the headlights on Kalina-2. Of course, replacing lamps with subsequent adjustment is a less labor-intensive operation than connecting a radio. However, accuracy is important here. And the special equipment used to perform the settings is only available at service stations.

Question and answer: what should not be allowed under any circumstances

Q: What happens if you buy lamps with a base other than “H7”?

A: It will not be possible to install lamps in a standard headlight.

Q: If I use more than 55 watts of power, will this cause overheating?

A: Excessive power leads to the fact that the fuse in the low beam lamp circuit burns out. A separate fuse is used for each of the lamps, so it will not be possible to “deceive” the automation.

Q: Are halogens afraid of power surges?

A: For incandescent lamps, excess voltage is a harmful factor. In the case of using halogen lamps, there will be two harmful factors: overheating, underheating. Actually, this is why MTBF can be considered a relative rather than an absolute value. This value depends, and depends strongly, on the stability of the voltage.

Review of work features

First, let's look at the simplest case and figure out how to replace a low-beam lamp on a Grant, then we'll tell you how to troubleshoot some problems, and we'll describe how to adjust the light yourself; the instructions are so simple that anyone can handle it.

Replacing light bulbs

The low beam lamp of the Lada on Granta is universal, that is, it serves both high and low beam. The 60/55 Watt option is used (that is, the power of the high beam spiral is 60, and the low beam is 55), the lamp type is H4. This is the option you need to purchase before starting work.

The process itself is quite simple, and replacing the low beam bulb on a Lada Granta is done very quickly:

First, remove the terminal from the battery and fix the hood in the open position.
Next, press the latch of the plastic plug on the headlight and open it.

The lid latch is located on top, it is clearly visible.
Under the lid you will see a block with wires; it must be carefully disconnected and moved to the side.

Important! Do not pull on the wires as you may break the connections. Always grip the pad body

Next, remove the rubber plug, which protects the case from moisture and dust. The rubber plug is very easy to remove
The low beam lamp on the Grant is held in the reflector by a spring lock; to release it, you need to press the antennae and disengage them from the hooks of the housing.
After this, you can remove the used unit, but we recommend that before changing the low beam lamp on Grant, you carefully examine it; it is possible that it is working, and the reason for the lack of light is not at all in it.
When installing a new unit, do not touch the glass part under any circumstances, as this can cause it to fail very quickly; do everything carefully. Assembly is carried out in reverse order. (See also the article Installing fog lights on Kalina: features.)

Replacing the low beam lamp on a Lada Granta is done very carefully so as not to touch the glass bulb

Shutdown problems

Very often you can come across this question: the low beam headlights on the Lada Granta do not turn off, what should I do?

In fact, there may be several reasons, we will look at them:

The low beam relay on the Grant is located in a common block, the diagram below shows its location, you can try to hit it lightly, this often solves the problem, but you still need to change this unit, especially since its price is low. This is the most common option, but far from the only one.

The main reason why the low beam on the Lada Granta does not turn off is interruptions in the operation of the relay indicated in Figure K4

The second option is a malfunction of the steering column switch; you can check it very simply: remove the trim from the steering column and disconnect the block of wires that go to the switch unit. If after this the light does not go out, then everything is fine with it; if it goes out, this unit needs to be changed.
Finally, the third option is a short circuit, which can occur due to wear and tear of the elements or the use of too powerful light bulbs. To check, move the chip on the headlight. If the light blinks, then this is the reason, you need to unscrew two screws to disassemble the housing, most often the low and high beam contacts are closed, just disconnect them and put them back as they should be.

Adjustment

Let's look at how to adjust the low beam headlights on a Grant yourself:

First, you need to carry out preparatory measures - refuel to a full tank, check that there is a spare tire in the trunk, and put a load weighing 75 kilograms on the driver’s seat. Also, check the tire pressure, it should be correct.

Tire pressure is an important parameter; if it is different, the car will not be level and it will not be possible to make the correct adjustment.

You will also need a 6 mm hexagon with which the adjustment will be made.
You need to find a flat area in front of which there is a wall or a flat high fence and place the car at a distance of three meters from the surface.
Apply markings on the wall - two vertical stripes should go along the width of the light bulbs in the headlights, a horizontal line should be located along the height of the installation of the lighting elements, and also draw an axial vertical line in the middle.
When adjusting one of the headlights, cover the other with opaque material, then set the corrector to position “0”. Next, use a hexagon to direct the light flux so that its center is at the intersection of the vertical and horizontal lines opposite the headlight. Work is also carried out on the second side.

Tips for motorists

The most common malfunction associated with the cessation of operation of one or both low beam headlights of a Lada Kalina passenger car is the failure of halogen lamps, brand H7. Moreover, on some cars, this happens quite often, the light bulbs last for literally a couple of months. There are several possible reasons for lamp burnout. One of them is associated with the headlight not being sealed, as a result of which dust gets inside it. Dust settling on the bulb of a halogen lamp causes it to overheat and fail.

The second reason for low beam lamps burning out may be due to increased voltage in the vehicle's on-board network. To find out what voltage the generator produces, you will need a tester. It is desirable that the voltage at its terminals, with the engine running, does not exceed 14.4 volts. If the voltage is higher, you can try to replace the relay regulator, but when purchasing it, no one guarantees that its parameters will be within normal limits.

Changing burnt-out lamps in the headlights of a Lada Kalina car is not very convenient, since access to them is difficult due to the closely located windshield washer reservoir (right headlight) and the expansion tank of the engine cooling system (left headlight). If you do not remove them from their mounting points, then all operations to replace the low beam lamp will have to be done by touch. At the same time, you must remember that the halogen lamp should only be grasped by the base; touching the glass bulb with your fingers will lead to its rapid failure.

Even a working low beam lamp will not light if the fuse blows. You can find them in the mounting block located in the front panel to the left of the steering column. The electrical circuits of the right and left low beam lamps are protected by two different fuses (right lamp, fuse F12, left lamp, fuse F13), rated for a current of seven and a half amperes.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to visually determine whether a fuse has blown or not. In this case, using a test lamp, you need to check whether voltage is supplied to its terminals, but you must remember that voltage appears there only when the ignition is turned on and the low beam headlights are turned on in the light control module (LCM). If there is no voltage, then you will have to ring the wire coming from fuse F13 to terminal No. 56 of the light control unit. Well, if everything is fine with it, then you will have to look for a fault in the ICC or replace it with a new one.

Another, sometimes encountered, malfunction that leads to failure of low beam lamps is oxidation or burning of contacts in the plug blocks.

Lamp burned out

Naturally, if any light source does not turn on, the first thing that comes to mind is that the light bulb has burned out. The design of car lamps is such that the low beam may indeed be absent, but the high beam remains available. Halogen lamps have two filaments. It is quite possible for one of them to rupture - in this case, the light for which it is responsible will be absent.

To replace the bulb, the services of an auto electrician are not required. It is enough to open the hood with the ignition off, remove the protective box on both sides of the headlight, pull out the contact group, disconnect the spring clips, remove the burnt out bulb and install a new one.

A little subtlety:

The flask should be wiped with alcohol before installation, otherwise it will burn instantly. It is also not recommended to handle the bulb with unprotected hands: there is always some greasy and damp secretions on them, which can damage the light bulb. The best way to do this (replace the lighting) is with a dry cloth or rag.

Congratulations - you are right!

We look carefully at the photo. Let's make the correction that in the photo is my ex-Kalina1 (glass headlights) with mileage about 55 thousand more than Kalina2 (plastic headlights). Equipment used: 7-8 year old soap dish, but with manual mode.

So, near: Kalina 1 has a wider light distribution. It shines a little further (adjusted it myself) than Kalina2 (adjusted by the dealer at pre-sale). We’ll raise this for once, but there’s nothing we can do about the width - I’ll start blinding those I meet. But Kalina2 has brighter light.

<low beam

High beam: Here Kalina1 outperformed its heiress by 100500%. It was not for nothing that everyone looked with caution at such a modest-sized reflector of Kalina2.

High beam

Near + Far: I think you will be more confident on Kalina1. But Kalina2’s left side turned out to be “blind”

Low and high beam

Finally, I’ll give you a photo of a light beam on a light wall.

Light beam

Here we see that 55 thousand kilometers have not done any good to Kalina’s headlights1 - the glass also succumbs to stones and sand flying from under cars. The border of a 3-year-old woman is already fuzzy, the light transmittance of the glass is probably lower, and by the time of shooting the lamps had traveled at least 7 thousand for one and at least 20 for the second.

The conclusion is obvious - the new glass headlight of Kalina1 puts the new plastic headlight of Kalina2 on the shoulder blades.

Mileage: 360 km

Possible causes of malfunction

So, if the low beam in one of the headlights of a Lada Kalina does not light up, then the reason most likely lies in a burnt-out light bulb. Replacing it will not be difficult for every car owner.

However, unfortunately, there are a number of other reasons for this malfunction, the most common of which are the following:

The contacts in the plug block are oxidized or burnt;
The fuse has blown;
Open circuit;
The relay has failed.

Below we will look at how to fix all these problems.

Replacing the lamp

Replacing the low beam on Kalina is quite simple. Moreover, you will only have to spend a few minutes of your time on this.

The only thing is that before replacing old lamps, you need to purchase new ones of the H7 standard. It is advisable to install new bulbs on two headlights at once so that they provide the same glow.

Note! On sale you can find several types of H7 standard bulbs - halogen, xenon and LED, for example, for fog lights on a VAZ 2110. All types have different prices, but most importantly, they have different characteristics. On our portal you can familiarize yourself in detail with the features of all these lamps.

Replacement instructions are as follows:

First of all, you need to remove the rubber plug located on the back of the headlight. To do this, you must first open the hood.
Then you need to remove the positive and negative terminals from the contacts.

Next, you need to press the spring bracket with your own hands and remove it from the seat.
After this, you need to remove the old light bulb and put a new one in its place.
Then you need to replace the bracket, put the terminals on the contacts and install the plug.

Note! When replacing light bulbs, do not touch their glass bulbs with your fingers, otherwise they may quickly burn out.

When replacing light bulbs, you need to pay attention to the quality of the contacts. If the contacts are oxidized or burnt, they must be cleaned.

Replacing the fuse

If, after replacing the lamps, the low beam headlights in the Lada Kalina still do not work, you should check the fuses. They are located in the mounting block under the steering wheel.

The lamps are protected by different fuses:

Right lamp – F12
Left lamp – F13

Note! If, after replacing the fuse, the lighting turned on, but after a while it disappeared again, it is necessary to measure the voltage that the generator produces. It is advisable that when the engine is running it does not exceed 14.4 volts. If the voltage is higher, you can try replacing the control relay.

Open circuit

If the fault cannot be eliminated, then you need to find an open circuit.

You can do this as follows:

If there is no voltage at the fuse terminals, you need to ring the wire that goes from F13 to contact No. 56 of the lighting control unit, since you can turn on the low beam headlights on Kalina using switch No. 5.
If the wire is intact, but 2 headlights do not light, then switch No. 56 must be replaced. However, you should first check whether voltage is supplied to the switch itself.
If voltage is supplied to fuses F13 and F12, you should check whether there is voltage at the relay output. Let us remind you that the low beam relay in the Lada Kalina is located in the mounting block.
If there is no voltage, you should check the area from F12 to contact No. 56 of switch No. 4, which is located on the steering wheel, as well as the area from terminal No. 56a to terminal 1 of relay K7. It is also quite possible that switch No. 4 or the relay itself is not working.

Replacing the latter is not difficult, since it is simply inserted with contacts into the socket.

In cases where there is voltage at the relay output, you should check the wiring of the machine from the mounting block to the headlights according to the diagram.

Note! If the low and high beams on Kalina go out in one of the headlights, then perhaps the contact at the ground terminal has lost. To check it, you need to disassemble the headlight unit.

Tips for motorists

The low beam has disappeared while the high beam is working - what to do in 2021

The driver is thrown off balance by any car breakdowns, but the failure of any elements on the night road is especially frightening. A problem often arises when, when the high beams are working, the low beams simply do not turn on. If the car is on a deserted country highway, then this situation is not critical.

On the other hand, blinding oncoming vehicles is quite dangerous. Therefore, it is important to present approximate causes of this phenomenon and try to eliminate them in time.

The fine for one low-beam headlight that does not work when driving at night can be 500 rubles, so you should not put off solving the problem for a long time.

Circuit breakers:

F1 (5 A) - license plate lamps, instrument panel lamps, indicator light on the dashboard, engine compartment lamp, additional brake light lamp, left side marker lamps.

If any of the listed lamps do not work, check this fuse and the lamps themselves, their connectors and wiring.

F2 (7.5 A) - low beam in the left headlight. Similar to relay K4.

F3 (10 A) - high beam in the left headlight, indicator lamp for turning on the high beam headlights on the dashboard. Similar to relay K5.

F4 (10 A) - backup fuse.

F5 (30 A) - front door electric windows and their relays. If, when operating the power window, the window goes down but not up (or vice versa), check the button on the door. When lowering and raising, the polarity and direction of rotation of the motor are different. It could also be a problem with the window lift mechanism.

To get to it, you need to remove the door trim. Check that the mechanism does not bite anywhere and that the gears are intact, without broken teeth. If there are problems, you can replace the entire power window drive with a new one.

F6 (15 A) - door lock control unit. If one or more doors stop opening, check this fuse. The issue may be in the central locking, control unit, as well as the mechanisms themselves, rods and door locks. If you have no experience, it is better to contact a car service.

F7 (20 A) - sound signal and its relay, cigarette lighter. If the horn does not work, check this fuse, the steering column contacts and the wiring; the contacts may have oxidized and the wiring may have become frayed. Also check the horn itself, you can replace it with another one, for example, a two-tone one from Volga.

If the cigarette lighter does not work, check the wiring and its contacts. The white wire is responsible for the backlight, the red and black wires go to the cigarette lighter contacts.

Do not insert non-standard connectors into the cigarette lighter, they may cause a short circuit. If the connector in the cigarette lighter moves to the sides, it is better to use a splitter and insert this connector there.

F8 (20 A) - rear window heating element and relay (contacts).

Similar to relay K7.

F9 (20 A) - rear window heating relay winding, additional relay, rear window wiper motor, windshield wiper and washer switch.

F10 (20 A) - backup fuse.

F11 (5 A) - right side lamps.

F12 (7.5 A) - low beam in the right headlight, gear motors for headlight range control. Similar to relay K4.

F13 (10 A) - high beam in the right headlight. Similar to relay K5.

F14 (10 A) - backup fuse. F15 (20 A) - backup fuse

F16 (10 A) - turn signal and hazard warning light switch (in emergency mode). Similar to relay K3.

F17 (7.5 A) - interior lighting, individual backlight lamp, brake lamps, check lamp for malfunction of the engine management system. If the brake lights do not work, check this fuse, the lamps themselves, their connectors, usually the problem is bad or oxidized contacts. Also check the operation of the brake light switch located near the brake pedal.

F18 (25 A) - heater electric motor and its switch. If the stove blows cold air, the problem may be in the hot air damper, the cable to which comes from the regulator under the casing not far from the gas pedal. The coolant level must be within acceptable limits.

If the heater doesn't work or blow at all, it could be the heater motor. Also check the heater switch and its contacts.

F19 (10 A) - turn signal and hazard warning light switch (in turning mode), indicator light in the light switch, turn signal lamps, turn signal indicator lamps on the dashboard, differential indicator lamp. If the turn signals or hazard lights do not work, read the information about relay K3.

F20 (7.5 A) - reserve.

Fuses and relays in Lada Kalina

If one or another electrical device in your Kalina has stopped working - headlights, low or high beams, cigarette lighter, stove, turn signals, as well as other devices, then the first thing you need to do is find the cause of the malfunction, in particular, check the fuses and relays in the Lada Kalina.

The first thing to check in electrical circuits is the fuses, because they are the weakest point of the circuit and are usually the first to fail. Read on to learn about which fuses do what in the Lada Kalina, as well as where the relays are located and how to find the right one.

If you do not want to get into an unpleasant situation when, due to a blown fuse, one or another device refuses to work, but you don’t have a whole one at hand, it is useful to make it a rule to always carry with you a set consisting of different fuses.

For the Lada Kalina, you can buy a similar set at any auto store that sells auto parts for domestic cars. It takes up very little space, but its benefits in case of failure will significantly reduce your time to fix the problem.

Relay and fuse box

The fuses in the Lada Kalina are located under the dashboard, in a block located to the left of the steering wheel. To get to it, you need to open the cover in which the headlight switch is built in. The lid has latches; if you pull it towards you by the upper part, it will open and fold down (its lower part is fixed on an axis).

F1 (10 A) - immobilizer, dashboard lamps and sensors, reversing light, turn signals.

If any of the gauges on your dashboard stop working, or one or all of the warning lights stop lighting up, check that fuse, as well as the gauges or bulbs themselves.
If the rear white light does not come on when you engage reverse gear, it could also be this fuse or the reverse switch.
The reverse switch is located on the transmission, to change it you will most likely need to remove the engine cover to get to it. Located on the left side in the direction of travel on the rear of the gearbox.
If the turn signals do not work and this fuse is intact, also check relay K5, the turn signal control knob, its connector, as well as the turn signal lamps themselves.

F2 (30 A) - electric windows.

If the power windows stop working, check this fuse, as well as relay K2.
If the fuse and relay are good, there could be a number of reasons. First, try pressing the power window button and slamming the door.
If the mechanism “bites” when the glass is raised, this may help.
Otherwise, you need to disassemble the casing and look at the mechanism. When disassembling, you need to check the serviceability of the gears and all components of the window lifter, including the motor brushes.
It could also be a problem with the power window module. It is located in the left rear door; if there is something wrong with it, then most likely you will have to change this module to a working one.

F3 (10 A) - alarm.

If the emergency lights do not work and this fuse is good, check relay K5.
If your left or right turn signals come on and are constantly on, even when you turn off the ignition, this is a factory defect. In this case, it is necessary to replace the body electronics control unit. This can be done in official salons.

F4 (20 A) - windshield wiper, heated rear window.

If the windshield wipers do not work and this fuse is intact, also check relays K4 and K6.
The issue may be in the windshield wiper motor or its mechanism. Check the wiper switch and its connector.
If the rear window heating does not work, check fuse F8, the heater terminals, their contacts, as well as the contacts of this fuse and relay K6.
Another issue could be poor contact on the body. The wiring ground is connected to the body under the dashboard. If there is poor or oxidized contact in this area, it can also cause problems with the correct readings on the panel instruments.

How to turn on the dimensions, low and high beam headlights on the Lada Kalina

Hello everyone, today I want to show you how to turn on the dimensions, low and high beam headlights on a Lada Kalina car. The headlight control unit on Kalina is located under the left air duct.

In order to turn on the dimensions, you need to switch the lever to the middle position. The lights will light up regardless of whether your ignition is on or not.

If the switch is moved to the extreme right position, the low beam headlights turn on. The low beam only turns on when the ignition is on. If you turn off the ignition, only the side lights will remain on.

In order to turn on the high beam headlights, you need to press the steering switch on the left, as if pushing away from you. To blink the high beams, you need to pull the lever towards you.

Well, that's all, we learned how to control the headlights on a Lada Kalina car. It is worth noting that this article is intended for beginners or for those who have just bought this car.

The low beam on the Lada Granta does not turn on and does not light up

Now we will try to figure out why the low beams on a Lada Granta may not turn on.

TOP 15 most useful products for Lada Granta - OUR EXPERIENCE!

1 Main reasons 1.1 Fuses burnt out
1.2 Low beam bulbs burned out

Power fuses

The main power fuses and the diagnostic connector are located under the cover next to the cigarette lighter.

I hope this article will help solve your electrical problem. Just in case, take with you spare fuses and, if possible, relays, then you won’t have to look for them at the most inopportune moment or during auto shop hours.

You can also read about Lada Granta fuses, if you have such a model in your fleet.

Hello, check fuses F12, F13, F9 and F10 (diagram below) in the mounting block in the cabin, on the left side, under the cover where the light control switches are located.

Good driver vision is a fundamental aspect of safe vehicle operation. But only in the daytime can a person completely rely on his eyes; at night, the headlights help the driver keep the car on the road. Loss of low beam makes it impossible to drive a car in the dark.

Methods for repairing headlights in the field

The above-described malfunctions are quite easily eliminated right on the road. No complex diagnostic or repair equipment is required. So, instead of a blown fuse, you can insert several cores from a stranded wire. In this case, one core is approximately capable of withstanding 1 ampere. The veins can be inserted directly into the socket or wrapped around the fuse. It is important that the contact surface is pressed tightly against the homemade fusible element.

A faulty relay can be replaced with a similar one used to switch on other high-voltage circuits. You can dismantle and use to replace a faulty headlight switch relay the element for switching on the power window circuit, heated seats, and additional equipment. In addition, many cars have a special backup socket with an unused relay. The connectors of almost all the elements in question in the car are similar to each other.

To turn on the headlights bypassing any faulty elements of the power circuit, you should use wires of sufficient cross-section and length. In this case, the ends of the wires are stripped of insulation and connected to a car socket designed for a portable lamp. The “cigarette lighter” can be used in a similar way. In this case, it is better to connect from the reverse side of the power point, connecting the wires directly to the terminals. The second ends of the wires are connected directly to the low beam lamp. It is important that only one headlight should be connected in this way. This is enough to get to your home or repair site while taking the necessary precautions. Connecting two powerful electrical consumers at once can lead to an overload of the power supply circuit of the cigarette lighter or socket, which often causes a fire in the car! You can read how to improve the headlights of your car here.

Low beam does not work on one headlight

If for no apparent reason one low beam bulb stops working, then the reason may be directly in it. The filament coil often burns out.

In such cases, the only solution is to replace this optical element. Therefore, it is better to always carry spare lamps with you.

Another reason that should always be taken into account could be a blown fuse, which simply needs to be replaced. In addition, it is often enough to wiggle the fuse box and everything will start working. This is due to the fact that the contacts can oxidize over time, become loose, and their connection quality is impaired. To correct this problem, you need to carefully clean all contacts using fine-grit sandpaper or a file.

Due to poor contact quality, the switch button may also function poorly, so you should also pay close attention to its performance. To identify them, you need to check all the electrical blocks through which the connection occurs.

If poor-quality connections are identified, the deficiencies should be corrected immediately

To identify them, you need to check all the electrical blocks through which the connection occurs. If poor-quality connections are identified, the deficiencies should be corrected immediately.

The malfunction may be caused by a lack of contact with the light bulb itself, when the negative pole is poorly attached to ground. Incorrect headlight adjustment can cause these symptoms. For example, if the voltage regulator setting is weak, the beam of light will be almost invisible.

Headlight range control: device and malfunctions

A device that monitors and regulates the position of a car's lighting devices is called a headlight range control. It is possible to adjust the headlights on Kalina using:

Kalina manual headlight leveler;
electric headlight corrector.

The principle of operation in both cases is similar, the difference is one. The first option involves making the correction using a regulator installed inside the car. The driver himself changes the tilt of the car lighting. The electric corrector works automatically: depending on the location of the machine, the device changes the angle of inclination of the optics.

Sensor inaccuracy. Failure of the bracket leads to a failure of the tracking element synchronizer performance.
Souring of contacts. Due to the reduced conductivity of the electrical wire, the device begins to malfunction.
Factory defect. The regulating element falls out of the electric corrector.

Non-standard reasons

Sometimes the abnormal operation of headlights is caused by completely unusual factors. There was an indescribable incident when the owner removed the headlight cleaners from his Niva because they had not functioned for a long time. As a result, he lost low beam on both headlights. And it took me a while to guess the reason! During the experiments, the owner found out that to obtain low beam, the presence of at least one of the motors is required, and it does not matter which one - left or right.

In the end, he simply short-circuited the connector, as if simulating the presence of a headlight cleaner. There were no further problems with light. So if you tapped all the links of the chain, but have not established the reason for the headlights, try to remember if you recently made any improvements to the design of your car. Perhaps in the process of these changes some engineering design was violated, which is the reason for the disappearance of light.

However, if such simple, although usually effective, measures do not produce the desired effect, you will still have to remember the phone number of a familiar auto electrician. Otherwise, you can spend a lot of time looking for reasons and never find them.

Having found out why the low beam of the headlights does not light up, but the high beam is on, and having learned to deal with this phenomenon, one day you may encounter the opposite problem, when there is a low beam, but no high beam. The reasons for these vagaries are, in principle, the same as in the previous case, only supplemented by a possible breakdown of the steering column switch. So if the reason for the strange behavior of the headlights has not been identified, and the low beam is still missing, it is likely that you will have to replace it.

What car enthusiasts say about the operation of low beam lamps

Importance of verification

“I had such a problem that the headlight began to shine dimly. I wanted to go buy a new light bulb first, but decided to test it first. I moved the right one to the left one, and it became clear that the reason was not the lamp at all. Then I dug around, searched, and found a melted fuse. After replacing it, the problem disappeared!”

If everything has been checked...

“If you are sure that you have checked both the bulb and the switch, but the headlight does not light, then the problem is definitely in the wiring.”

Where else to look for a problem?

“I had such a situation that the light bulb was one hundred percent working, and the relay switched, but the low beam still didn’t come on. Then I checked the contact connector in the engine compartment fuse block, it turned out there was a breakdown there. Maybe this information will help someone. Access to this block is from the side of the car wing.”

Fuses for Lada Kalina: where are they located, replacement - AutoExpert

14.01.2020

If malfunctions occur related to the operation of electrical accessories on the Lada Kalina, do not rush to get into the mechanical part. Maybe the problem lies in the combustion of fuses. But not all motorists know where the Lada Kalina fuse box is located and their markings.

Location of the main fuse block

The main fuse and relay block of the Lada Kalina is located under the left panel of the steering wheel, where the main light switch is located.

In order to gain access to the main fuse panel of the Lada Kalina, you need to do a number of manipulations:

On the closing panel, on the left and right, there are grooves that need to be pulled alternately.
Also below. This operation should be done carefully so as not to break the plastic fasteners. Gently pull and remove from the grooves
Now you can directly see the block with relays and fuses.
Gained access to the fuse box
To dismantle the unit itself, you first need to remove all the fuses using a special probe. The relays are removed by hand by pulling towards you.
Next, you should disconnect all the wire packages from the connectors. It is worth remembering, or better yet, marking the location of each set of wires so that during installation they can be installed as they were.
When the board itself remains, you can unscrew the fastening bolts and dismantle it.

Thus, the fuses and relays of the main unit of the Lada Kalina, as well as the control board, are changed.

Location of additional fuse box

The additional fuse box is marked with an arrow in the photo.

The additional relay and fuse box for the Lada Kalina is located to the right of the front passenger's feet. It can be accessed by unscrewing the cover bolts and removing it. In order to dismantle this block, unscrew the 3 mounting bolts. The replacement process is carried out in the same way as with the main unit.

conclusions

If a relay fails or a fuse melts in the unit on a Lada Kalina, the electrical circuits that are responsible for the operation of the unit may fail. Thus, before repairing the mechanical part, it is worth checking the condition of the fuse. The combustion of these parts occurs due to a short circuit in the Kalina on-board network.

Every car owner wants his “iron horse” to always remain faithful, fast, and reliable, and owners of the Lada Kalina model are no exception.

One of the common problems in the domestic automobile industry is the malfunction of electrical appliances. If this problem also affects you, you should not immediately go to the service station and pay a lot of money to the mechanics.

First of all, you need to check the fuses on the Kalina. You can do this yourself at no cost.

Where are the fuses on Kalina and why are they needed?

Every vehicle is equipped with a fuse box. The first generation “Kalina” is equipped with 3 such devices: installation, control and additional. The second generation model, or as it is also called “Kalina 2”, is equipped with 2 blocks.
