How to replace tail lamps on a VAZ 2114

The front right marker of the VAZ 2114 does not light up

So, we have found out where the headlights and their unit are installed and how they are located in the car, now we will figure out why the low beam does not light up.
The main reasons are:

• Lamp failure;
• Burnout or failure of fuses;
• Oxidation of contacts on wires;
• The power button is broken.

The lamps that are equipped with the VAZ 2114 from the factory assembly line are ordinary halogen lamps, with two filaments inside. In fact, the same light bulb is a source of both low and high beam - just one or two filaments are lit at once. Other machines may use different lamps for each type of light, and the diffuser may be movable and controlled by a computer. The solution is simple - replace the light bulb with a new one; we’ll talk about how to do this without breaking anything else.

OTHER PROBLEMS

The fuse also burns out just as often, which is why the low beam headlights do not light up. A standard fuse is a plastic case on two copper legs that are inserted into the block. Inside the housing there is a wire made of semiconductor material, which, if the current or voltage is too high, simply burns out and the voltage surge does not affect the headlights. The fuse is simply replaced with a new one.

Wires are also checked for oxidation quite simply - near the fuse box, you need to carefully inspect all the pads and relays, remove rust, and if there are disconnected cables, fix them in place. To check the button you need to find any other one and connect the control wires to it. If the headlights come on, then you just need to replace the button with a similar new one.

The VAZ 2114 headlight unit is connected to several buttons at once, since there are also turn signals there, it is advisable to diagnose everything at once; perhaps the problem lies in a banal open circuit somewhere in the routing of wires from the fuse block to the buttons.

Replacement process

The rear lights are attached to the body of a VAZ 21099, 2108 or 2109 car using 4 nuts. To dismantle the lighting system you will need:

The operating algorithm is as follows:

• To access the nuts, remove the 21099 luggage rack at the appropriate location (if the rack is installed).
• Disconnect the power plug that is attached to the board.
• Unscrew the 4 nuts using a wrench.
• When removing the last nut, hold the taillight outside to prevent it from falling and breaking.
• After removing all 4 nuts, remove the light.

When installing a new headlight on the rear of model 21099, do not forget to connect the wiring to ground, which is attached to one of the studs.

In such cases, the ride becomes quiet, calm and relaxed, but how everything changes when at least one light bulb burns out. This causes inconvenience and emergency situations, and you can also get a fine from a road service employee.

The dimensions on the VAZ 2109 do not light up, then look for the reason in the wiring. Even experienced drivers recommend carefully checking the functionality of all devices and components before leaving. The nine is no exception, in which optics can often fail for various reasons, including:

The rear lights (headlights) of the VAZ 2108, VAZ 2109, VAZ 21099 have the following bulbs: 1) Brake lights. 2) Dimensions. 3) Reverse. 4) Turns. 5) Fog lamp.

Rear light board for VAZ 2108, VAZ 2109, VAZ 21099

A wiring harness goes from the mounting block to the rear lights. The purpose of each individual wire in the harness can be understood by its color: 1) Brake lights - red 2) Dimensions - yellow 3) Reverse - green. 4) Turns - blue. 5) Fog light - orange-black.

We remove the connector from the rear light board of VAZ 2108, VAZ 2109, VAZ 21099

Naturally, you need to understand that if the car VAZ 2108, VAZ 2109, VAZ 21099 is old and there are a lot of people doing the wiring, then the color match of the wire to its purpose may be violated. That is, the red wire can be converted not to brake lights, but, for example, to dimensions. But in general this is a very important point: the developers of the VAZ 2108, VAZ 2109, VAZ 21099 specifically marked the functional purpose of the wires with a certain color to make it easier to use.

Flashlight board VAZ 2108, VAZ 2109, VAZ 21099

If some light signal in the taillight of a VAZ 2108, VAZ 2109, VAZ 21099 does not work, then before climbing into the mounting block and opening the electrical circuit, we check the following: 1) The reliability of fastening the mass of the taillight to the body of the VAZ 2108, VAZ 2109, VAZ 21099.2)

We check the reliability of fastening the wire connector to the headlight. 3) Integrity of the light bulb 4) Quality of contact between the light bulb and the flashlight board. It often happens that everything is intact, the light bulb and the mass are good, and 12 Volts come to the light bulb, but it does not light. The reason is poor contact between the light bulb and the board. In this case, you need to clean both the light bulb base and the area on the lantern with fine sandpaper.

As one smart person said: “Electrics is the science of contacts.” To disassemble the rear light of a VAZ 2108, VAZ 2109, VAZ 21099, first remove the protective plastic cover. Then disconnect the black wire of the flashlight from ground. Then we remove the connector from the flashlight board and remove the board itself with the bulbs from the headlight housing. If it is necessary to replace the headlight itself, then unscrew the remaining bolts securing the headlight to the car frame and remove it.

Dimensions of VAZ 2104, 2105, 2107 do not light up

On VAZ 2104, 2105, 2107 cars there are 4 side lights (dimensions): one in the front headlights and one in the rear lights.
Failure of any of them to work is a fairly common occurrence. Let's look at the reasons for this malfunction - “why the lights on VAZ 2104, 2105, 2107 cars don’t light up.”

Symptoms of a malfunction: “VAZ 2104, 2105, 2107 dimensions do not light up”

One dimension, two dimensions (front or rear, right or left side, crosswise) or all of them may not work.

Causes of the malfunction “dimensions of VAZ 2104, 2105, 2107 cars do not light up”

The side light bulb is burnt out

The most common reason. One light bulb, or several at once, can suddenly burn out. In some cases, it may be impossible to visually identify a burnt-out light bulb. Therefore, we replace the burnt out one with a known good one. You can use a similar one from a nearby headlight.

The contacts of the light bulb in the socket have oxidized

We rotate the light bulb in the socket several times to remove the oxidized layer and restore contact. In the future, you can clean everything with sandpaper.

Lost ground to headlights or taillights

Loss of contact with ground leads to failure of not only one size, but also the entire headlight or rear light.

The “negative” wires of the front headlights and rear lights with side lights on VAZ 2104, 2105, 2107 cars are attached to the car body. It is necessary to clean the mounting location to ensure good contact with ground. Usually the negative wire is the black wire from the headlight connection block, attached to the body next to the headlight or tail light.

Broken contact in the headlight or rear light connection block

Either it has oxidized or the block is not attached tightly. In such a situation, either one side lamp or the entire headlight may not light. We put on and take off the pad several times to restore contact.

The track in the rear light board has crumbled

During long-term use of the vehicle, or if a low-quality part is installed, the track to the side light lamp socket in the rear lights may shed (burn out).

Contact is broken in the connecting blocks of the relay and fuse mounting block

Check the pads Ш12 (Х12), Ш13 (Х13), Ш9 (Х9), Ш6 (Х6) of the mounting block. Or Ш2 (Х2) - terminals 1 and 3 if all the dimensions do not light up.

The fuse in the mounting block has blown

If fuse No. 14 (F14) is blown, the side lights in the front left headlight and rear right headlight will not light. If No. 15 (F15), then the marker in the front right headlight and rear left lamp will not light up, that is, crosswise.

What and how can you change the standard lights?

The easiest way is to change the appearance of your car - replacing the light fixtures with more original ones. The range of flashlights for the VAZ 2114, of course, is not particularly wide, but there is plenty to choose from. And the simple way is because all tuning comes down to “removing the standard ones, installing the purchased ones.” Let's wander around the shops and see what we can find for our VAZ 2114.

Osvar flashlights are the most popular option among car enthusiasts. They are relatively inexpensive and finding them is not a problem. The only thing is that the manufacturer uses ordinary light bulbs in it, but if desired, you can replace them with LED ones yourself. Although for most car owners this is not relevant.

Skyline style. Also a “lamp” option, but it looks completely different.

ProSport RS-02020. This is already an LED option. True, the light bulbs responsible for the different signals in them are clearly not in their places, which may not please other road users, and the traffic police inspector will definitely not understand you.

ProSport RS-02020-T. The same “ProSport” with mixed up signals, but with tinted windows. A real gift to the traffic police!

ProSport RS-07490. Option with light bulbs. Same manufacturer, same misunderstanding - the turn signal is located between the marker and the brake light. You can't make it up on purpose.

"Zigzag" 0013L. This LED miracle is offered by manufacturers from Togliatti, the birthplace of the VAZ car. Here at least the signals are more or less in place.

We'll finish our shopping trip here, although there are still many miracles there. Just watch a short video about a flashlight with red turn signals and move on to the next point.

How to remove tail lights

It's time to figure out how to remove the stock lights to install new ones. To work, you will need an 8 socket wrench with an extension and a Phillips screwdriver. We open the trunk door, use a Phillips screwdriver to dismantle part of the upholstery so that, by bending it, you can gain access to the entire rear part of the lamp.

The upholstery is attached to the body using self-tapping screws

We find 4 nuts around the perimeter of the light fixture and unscrew them with a wrench

The lamp is secured with four nuts

Carefully remove the connector by pulling it towards the central axle of the car. We don’t swing it, we just pull it, trying not to twist it!

Removing the power supply

Pull the light from the outside of the car toward you and remove it.

Now the lamp can be removed

We install the new light fixture in the reverse order.

Rear lights on VAZ 2114 do not light up

When both side light bulbs on one side of a car, left or right, fail, the reason is always clear. The fact is that the safety block contains one fuse responsible for each side. It is necessary to replace the corresponding fuse and the problem will be eliminated.

At the same time, there is a constant discussion on the Internet on forums about whether the front lights on a VAZ 2114 don’t light up or why the rear lights on a VAZ 2114 don’t light up. Quite a lot of opinions and different experiences are expressed. If we summarize all this, we can draw the following conclusions.

The side lights of the rear hemisphere are located in the rear light block, in which a generally recognized disease is constant oxidation and corrosion of the contact groups. For preventive purposes, it is necessary to constantly monitor this board.

The same is possible on the contacts of the front headlights. Nevertheless, from practice there are cases when, when checking the performance of light bulbs, it turned out that they burned out on both sides at the same time (maybe one by one, but the driver did not notice this in time). At the same time, the amateur master checks everything, just not the light bulbs, claiming that the probability of simultaneous failure of the lamps is absolutely minimal. But auto electricians first check the lamp and contact.

But if 2 dimensions fail at the same time, then the front and rear left ones, and even the license plate illumination, then the problem lies in the mounting block. Namely, in fuse F10, which is responsible for the left dimensions, interior lighting, license plate lighting, and panel lighting. But keep in mind that fuse F10 is directly responsible for the left dimensions; if others do not work for you, then look for the corresponding fuse in the article Fuses.

We analyze the fuse block, namely the blocks of all tires to the fuse and relay block. Most often they oxidize, become detached, and make poor contact. We clean the contacts and connect them well. Don’t forget about the contact group on the headlight block; perhaps the contacts there have also oxidized.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

To protect against voltage surges and other influences on the electrical component, a side light fuse is also included in the circuit along with the light bulbs and the button. At the moment of overvoltage, it burns out, but due to this everything else in the circuit remains intact. It is usually located in the engine compartment, where in the VAZ 2114 there is a place for a whole fuse block for all electrical networks in the car.

Since all of them have markings, we can easily find the parts that we need: F10 is responsible for the safety of the lamps on the left side of the car, and F11 for the right. Thus, in the event of a failure of one half, for example, when the rear left indicator does not light up, the right side of the car will remain operational and will do its job. And if the size fuse blows, then replacing it is, in principle, quite simple - this is considered the simplest malfunction of this kind.

PRICES OF COMPONENTS

There is also a separate section for prices for all the parts that may be needed when repairing this part of the car, because if the side lights on a VAZ 2114 or the fuses have blown, they will still have to be replaced with new ones. In any case, all the components are quite cheap, all we might need:

• Marker lamp;
• Fuse;
• Power button;
• A whole fuse block.

Today, an ordinary white light bulb costs up to 30 rubles; of course, the price depends on the individual pricing policy of a particular seller. Individual fuses can be selected for up to 50 rubles, unless, of course, you want to install a higher quality option. Button, if you look for exactly the same one as the original one, you will have to pay up to 300 rubles. In some situations, more serious problems may arise and you will have to change the entire unit, this is quite an expensive proposition, together with all the wires it will cost up to 1000 rubles.

Based on this, we can say that you need to carefully monitor your car and try to avoid any serious malfunctions; if something breaks, fix it right away, don’t start it.

Dashboard functionality

The instrument panel installed in the vehicle will allow the driver to see a lot of useful information, monitor the main systems of the vehicle, as well as timely diagnose and repair faults. For example, light bulbs in a VAZ-2114 may come on for the following reasons:

• lack of battery charging;
• lack of fuel in the tank;
• decrease in oil pressure;
• excessive amount of water in the filter;
• problems with the fuel system;
• The handbrake is stuck;
• problems with the motor system and so on.

From all this it is clear that the lamps on the panel allow you to identify problems with the car, and if they themselves do not work, then an important breakdown can easily be missed, which can not only reduce the service life of your VAZ-2114, but also cause an accident

It is for this reason that when malfunctions are detected, it is very important to change the lamps in a timely manner (they cannot be repaired)

Why might the tail light not light up?

Not a single motorist is insured against faulty side lights. It is important to quickly understand what the reason is and carry out repairs. Most often one of the lamps fails, then we can assume the reason for the failure:

• she burned out;
• poor contact;
• breakdown in the wiring leading to this lamp.

The first occurs most often; in this case, it is enough to replace the failed lamp. If the lamp only works if you hit it, then there is a problem with the contacts (although physical impact does not always help). If during testing you find that the light bulb is intact, and there is no oxidation or carbon deposits in the socket, then you need to check the conductors.

Additional Tips

Sometimes VAZ 2114 owners are faced with the opposite situation, when the rear lights themselves work, but the indicator on the power button does not: this is almost always a sign of a faulty wiring in the interior panel. You can deal with the problem by removing the entire key block and thoroughly wiping its contacts.

In general, the side lights on this VAZ model should not often fail, since the contact pads for their fuses were specially increased in width in order to ensure a tight connection.

In addition, experts advise that in frequent breakdowns of dimensions there is a malfunction in the mounting block itself or its electrical circuit. Such a problem must be eliminated as soon as possible to eliminate the risk of a wiring fire.

Finally, you should pay attention to the tightness of the entire rear light unit and prevent moisture from getting inside, which can easily cause the lamp contacts to sour.

Car parking lights are classified as signal lights. On modern cars, they act as signals indicating their presence on the side of the road or in a parking lot, as well as the size of the object. The rules for operating vehicles and traffic rules establish that the driver is obliged to indicate obstacles in the form of a car in the dark when stopping or parking by turning on the side lights. And when there is fog, the side lights turn on together with the fog lights. There are front and rear dimensions.
