First stage: diagnostics and elimination of electrical faults
Every owner of the tenth model probably noticed clicks and noise coming from the gearmotor located on the left when activating the windshield wiper system.
Therefore, at the initial stage of solving the question of why the wipers do not work on the VAZ 2110, you should pay attention specifically to the nature of the operation of this unit. The electric motor does not show any signs of operability - it is necessary to inspect fuse F5 in the mounting block located on the left under the headlight beam hydraulic corrector. A serviceable fuse primarily serves as an indicator of problems in the electric drive feeding system.
A multimeter will help you identify the faulty area: you need to “ring” the circuit in resistance mode from the fuse to the gearmotor and steering column lever, and even the switch itself. The multimeter induces zero: the section is serviceable, an infinitely large value is a reason to inspect the terminals and wires.
The malfunction is resolved by the following steps:
- clean/crimp the terminals in the fuse block, contact connectors of the steering column switch and gearmotor;
- replace wires;
- replace the lever on the steering column that activates the windshield wipers.
Relay K2 type 524.3747, located in the mounting block, is responsible for the operation of the windshield wipers in cycles with pauses (I and II positions). The system does not operate in intermittent mode - a reason for a detailed inspection and replacement of the relay. Under such circumstances, the steering column switch should also be “sinned”.
Something to keep in mind! If the relay is defective, the windshield wipers operate completely unprecedentedly in the third extreme position of the right steering column switch.
However, a faulty relay does not always stop the operation of the unit in intermittent mode. Windshield wipers can effectively perform their function in positions I and II, however, the presence of a defect in the relay will be indicated by the absence of pauses between sweeps of the brushes, characteristic of these modes.
Along the way, finding out other reasons why the wipers on the VAZ 2110 do not work intermittently with pauses, you should inspect the limit switch located on the gear motor cover:
- the oxidized layer should be removed;
- burnt contacts must be cleaned;
- Contact petals should be bent if necessary.
Fuses, motor, presence of voltage at terminals
I would recommend looking for a breakdown in this order. If the fuse is broken, the windshield washer will not work.
Initially it is 20 Amps and yellow in color. But, as often happens, he could have already been replaced.
The fuse is in the mounting block numbered F9.
Checking the wiper motor
Next, you need to check for voltage on the windshield washer motor. The motor is located under the hood. If there is voltage, then the motor is faulty. And given your words that everything was getting worse and the wipers were already working, most likely it was just “dying” and is now completely broken!
If there is no voltage, then you need to check the wiring and the steering column switch. You can apply voltage to the motor directly to make sure it is working.
Total
Windshield wiper failure can occur for quite trivial reasons:
- fuse F5 burned out;
- the terminals of the connecting blocks are oxidized or burnt;
- wires are faulty;
- relay K5 524.3747 broke;
- ordered the steering column switch to “live for a long time”;
- the nut that attracts the trapezoid crank to the gearbox has become loose;
- the nuts securing the levers to the trapezoid shafts were unscrewed;
- The brushes are frozen to the glass.
Often, wipers on models of the VAZ 2110 family do not work due to complex faults:
- oxidation/burning, insufficient pressing force of the contacts of the limit switch located on the gearbox cover;
- brushes hanging in the gearmotor;
- burnout/contamination of the collector;
- break in the armature winding;
- chipping of gear teeth in the gearbox.

Repair
Having skillful hands and basic knowledge of how the wiper mechanism works, there is no need to contact a paid service to make repairs or change windshield wipers. Replacing the windshield wiper motor on a VAZ 2110 is also quite simple.
Parsing is carried out in this way:
- Remove the dashboard;
- On the left we find a relay screwed to the body. If the relay turns out to be faulty, then repair is unlikely to help it; a replacement is needed;
- We check the fuse responsible for the wiper drive;
- We disassemble the steering column to inspect the switch. If it turns out that the switch has insulation damage or other problems, it means it needs to be replaced;
- We unscrew the motor from the body and check for functionality. If there is a minor problem, it can be repaired, or perhaps it will need to be replaced, along with the relay. There is no point in repairing the relay separately - its cost is cheap;
- Inspect the drive; one of the possible faults is that its pulley has broken.
Finding Electrical Problems
Each owner of a VAZ-2110 involuntarily paid attention to the clicks coming from the left side and the barely audible noise from the gearmotor when the windshield wiper was running. Therefore, at the initial stage of searching for the reasons why the VAZ-2110 wipers do not work, you need to check the performance of this particular product.
If the electric motor does not show any signs of life, you need to check the fuse located on the mounting block, which is located on the left side, under the headlight switch lever. If the fuse is in working order, this indicates a malfunction in the electric drive feeding system.
A multimeter will help determine the problem area in the circuit. You need to check the circuit from the fuse to the gearmotor, from it to the hydraulic corrector.
Naturally, it is necessary to check the fuse itself. If zero is constantly lit on the multimeter screen and a not very pleasant sound signal is heard, then the circuit is working properly. When several numbers appear on the screen, without sound, we move on - we move on to inspecting the terminals and wires.
You can troubleshoot the problem as follows:
- Clean and tighten all terminals that were checked with a multimeter.
- Replace wiring.
- Install a new lever on the steering column that turns on the windshield wiper.
Relay K2 (5243747), located in the mounting block, is responsible for the operation of the windshield wiper. If an intermittent mode is not observed during system operation, then it is time to change the relay. Under these circumstances, the hydraulic corrector also needs to be checked. If the windshield wiper relay has a defect, it will work wonderfully in the third extreme position of the right steering column stalk. A faulty relay does not stop working in all cases. Windshield wipers can function perfectly if they are turned on in position 1, but the fact that there is a defect and the relay is not working correctly will be indicated by pauses between sweeps of the blades. Often the relay simply goes away, and the wipers and heater do not work at the same time. In this case, you usually need to tighten the contacts.
Replacing the trapezoid
The replacement process is simple, but it involves manipulations that require increased attention and accuracy - there is a danger of damage to neighboring components and mechanisms.
We de-energize the car by removing the “negative” terminal. We remove the special wind cover (the so-called “jabot”) and the expansion tank. The latter must be removed at an angle - there is a possibility that some of the coolant will spill out, so it is useful to first drain some of it into a previously prepared container.
Then you need to turn off the gearmotor
To do this, remove the corresponding connector. Carefully pull out the trapezoid (depending on the year of manufacture, it can be attached to two or four studs) and carefully remove it from the air supply box
That's it, the work is completed.
Installation of a new trapezoid is carried out in the reverse order.
How to remove the windshield wiper trapezoid
To remove the trapezoid you will need:
- key to 10;
- thin flat screwdriver;
- crosshead screwdriver.
First of all, you need to remove the wipers. To do this, you need to remove the plastic pads and unscrew the nuts with which they are attached to the trapezoid studs. Then unscrew the screws and side fastenings of the protective casing (jabot) and remove it. If the fasteners do not come out, treat with WD-40. Before removing the casing, make sure to remove all screws, bolts and nuts. If the cover does not come off, look for a fastener that you did not remove. Lifting the frill, disconnect the washer fluid supply tube from the tee, and then move the casing to the side.
Remove the belt that supports the radiator tank and move the tank to the side. Then pull out the partition (sound insulation), which is located behind the tank. Don't forget to remove the washer fluid supply tube from it. Disconnect the electric motor power connectors. After this, unscrew the bolts securing the trapezoid and electric motor. To remove the trapezoid, you must either struggle for a long time, coming up with various options, or place a thin flat-head screwdriver under the far end (relative to the motor) of the lower rod of the trapezoid and pull out the entire structure as if on a slide. You can also turn the left edge of the trapezoid clockwise and pull it out, then remove the engine.
Putting the trapeze in place
Usually, installing the trapezoid into place does not cause difficulties. Insert it and secure with bolts. Do not overtighten the motor mounting bolt; the motor may need to be turned slightly to get the trapezoid to operate smoothly. After making sure that the trapezoid is working properly, tighten the electric motor mounting bolt, install and secure the sound insulation, frill (do not forget to connect the washer tube), and the expansion tank. Insert the plastic plugs and install them in place, install the arms with brushes and check the operation of the wipers in all modes.
Electromechanical problems
An electric motor that shows no signs of life, no click and a blown fuse F5 - all these problems indicate faults in the gearmotor, which can be eliminated by replacing one of the components:
- dirty collector in the electric motor rotor;
- brushes that ensure continuous contact in the motor;
- burnt collector;
- broken armature winding.
There are other options: the electric motor does not want to work, but there is a click, or the fuse blows. In this case, you need to return the left lever to its base position as quickly as possible, since these problems indicate a short circuit in the electric motor. It needs to be completely changed. With the same problems, there may be minor faults: brushes frozen to the glass, or wipers touching body parts. Under such circumstances, you need to carefully separate the brushes or straighten their mounting arms.
What to do? Where to look?
If you can hear the sound of the motor-gearbox, then it is definitely working. If it works, but the brushes do not move, then there is a break somewhere in the rods or contact elements.
- Most often, a break or loss of “contact” of the trapezoid occurs due to wear of the teeth on the drive shaft of the gearmotor. In other words, the motor works, but does not engage the windshield wiper trapezoid. There is nothing left to do but replace the drive part (by disassembling the gear motor and replacing the spline part). But, if you don’t find this part (rarely found on sale), then either look for a used motor or replace it with a new one.
- The second cause of the malfunction may be a loose nut securing the trapezoid mechanism to the motor (tighten the nut). This malfunction can be immediately noticed if you look into the trapezoid compartment.
Perhaps these are the two most main reasons for this malfunction. True, there are cases when the rods fly off the crank or the splines on the wiper arm drive itself wear out (photo). All that remains is to either look for a spare part or change the trapezoid assembly.

Mechanical problems
Often the windshield wiper on a VAZ-2110 may not work due to a loose nut pressing the blade holder. This fault can be repaired in a few seconds. It is enough to tighten a poorly tightened nut to restore the functionality of the wipers. Some events may indicate an unscrewed nut:
- When the electric motor is running, the brushes do not move.
- The brushes stop working on their own in an intermediate position.
Also, brush holders may stop due to poor contact pressure in the gearmotor. If the teeth on the gearmotor gear are crumbled, the brushes will also not work.

Windshield wiper device
The function of the electric motor is to move the wipers at the required speed. It has a built-in gearbox, and the engine runs on current, which is supplied uninterruptedly. There are three brushes in the motor armature; they are responsible for the three-mode operation of the VAZ-2110 wipers.
Speed can be selected in two modes:
- fast (designed to work in heavy rain);
- intermittent.
As for windshield wipers, both their size and shape, the material from which they are made, as well as their design play a role. After installing them, you need to check whether they creak, as well as the condition of their mechanism and leash. If the failure is mechanical, it is most likely the drive.
Wipers do not work on VAZ 2110: causes and solution to the problem
If one fine morning the wipers on a VAZ 2110 fail to work, the causes of this malfunction should be established. To do this, you need to get to the windshield wiper device.
The VAZ 2110 has three operating modes:
Owners of the VAZ Ten probably encounter noise and crackling noise when they turn on the wipers; this is often due to a malfunction of the electric motor.
Wipers are one of the most vulnerable systems in a car. The windshield wiper system has to work, for example, in severe frosts. In this case, you should check whether the blades freeze to the windshield, otherwise the electric motor may burn out.
If the electric motor of the engine does not show signs of life, the problem may lie not in it, but, for example, in the blown fuse F5 in the mounting block. It is located on the left side of the car, under the headlight control. If the fuse turns out to be fully operational, the problem lies in the power supply to the wiper motor. It is necessary to check the electrical circuit that connects the gear motor, fuse, steering column lever and the switch itself. A multimeter will help determine which part of this circuit there is a malfunction. If the monitor shows “zero”, the area is working properly. You see an infinitely large series of numbers on the screen - this is a reason to check all the terminals and wires.
The problem with poor current supply is solved as follows:
- Clean and crimp the terminals in each block;
- Completely change all wires;
- Change the wiper switch lever.
In the first two positions, the K2 relay type 524.3747 in the mounting block and the steering column switch itself are responsible for the intermittent operation of the wipers. If the wipers work properly in the third position, you should pay attention to the relay. If the relay is faulty, the wipers can operate in intermittent modes without complaints, but there will be no characteristic pauses when switching.
Alternative solutions
Most car owners of the domestic “ten” are accustomed to replacing worn out and faulty windshield wipers with similar ones.
Often this happens because they do not see alternatives and are not familiar with them.
But this size can be increased to 530 millimeters. It is not recommended to install more, since this way the windshield wiper will not be able to work effectively, and the drive simply will not cope with the load. As a result, too long brushes cause squeaking and jerky work. Plus, don’t count on a long service life of the wiper mechanisms.
The original windshield wipers for the 10 are quite good. But there are more expensive, but also more highly efficient, high-quality devices.
Today it is fashionable to use frameless wipers, especially from Bosch. Their advantages lie in their compactness and a special, reliable leash mechanism.
But as practice shows, on the windshield of the VAZ 2110, as well as other VAZ models, they do not look very nice, because the fasteners on the leash turn out to be massive. Although if you modify them a little, you will get a very good result.
What to do if the wipers stop working due to electromechanics
If the wipers on a VAZ 2110 do not work, the problem may lie in failed gearmotor elements.
The following elements of the electric motor can fail:
- Limit switch;
- Motor anchor (it could burn out);
- Contacts (oxidized);
- Springs on motor brushes;
- Gears in the gearbox (worn out);
- Collector (burnt or dirty).
Repairing wipers on a VAZ 2110, if the cause is correctly identified, will not be difficult.
To do this you need to do the following:
- Remove the dashboard;
- The relay is screwed to the left of the car body; if it is faulty, replace it;
- Check the fuse;
- We disassemble the steering column and study the switch. If the insulation is damaged or other problems are present, change the steering column switch;
- We take out the electric motor and, if the damage is minor, we carry out repairs. If it requires replacement, feel free to replace it along with the relay.
The wipers on the VAZ 2110 may not work due to mechanical faults.
Quite simple things can prevent the wipers from working properly. For example, such as loosening the nut that secures the electric motor and brush holder. Or weakening the springs of the leashes. The cause may also be the destruction of gears, which is associated with the fragility of the material. As a rule, they are made of plastic.
As a result, we can say that the reasons for the breakdown of wipers are quite simple.
Among the “frivolous” breakdowns, the following can be distinguished:
- The fuse in the mounting block died;
- The wires are worn out;
- The gears are worn out;
- The connecting terminals have loosened;
- Contacts have oxidized;
- The mechanism is dirty.
Such breakdowns are not difficult to repair, and they will not cause significant costs when replacing parts.
Approximate prices for parts:
- Relays - from 285 rubles;
- Geared motor - from 1650 to 2200 rubles;
- Windshield wiper trapezoid - from 1,700 rubles;
- Assembled windshield wiper - from 3050 rubles;
- Windshield wiper lever (left) - from 435 rubles;
- Windshield wiper lever (right) - from 330 rubles;
- Brushes from 165 rubles per piece.
All these reasons why the wipers on the VAZ 2110 do not work can be eliminated quickly enough, without extra effort and expense. Of course, the car will let you down if something serious breaks down. For example, combustion of an electric motor, oxidation of contacts, which now need to be replaced. It is very important to take care of your car. You need to check the condition of elements such as wipers at least once every couple of days or before getting into the car. It will be very sad if you notice that your wipers break down during a rainstorm on the highway. Remember: if the brushes freeze to the glass, the electric motor will burn out, then you will have to replace it. Therefore, in winter, be sure to move the blades away from the windshield if you leave your car.

“Fucking basin. "
Hi all! My name is Mikhail, now I’ll tell you a story about how I managed to exchange my two-wheeler for a 2010 Camry. It all started with the fact that I began to be wildly irritated by the breakdowns of the two-wheeler, it seemed like nothing serious was broken, but damn it, there were so many little things that really started to irritate me. This is where the idea arose that it was time to change the car to a foreign car. The choice fell on the melting Camry of the tenth years.
Yes, I had matured morally, but financially I just couldn’t handle it. I’ll say right away that I am against loans and taking a car, especially not a new one, on credit is unreasonable. My salary is 24k a month, so collecting 600-700 thousand is almost impossible for me. I started looking for different ways to make money on the Internet. You can’t imagine how many scams there are, what I haven’t tried: sports betting, network marketing, and even the volcano casino, where I successfully lost about 10 thousand ((The only direction in which it seemed to me that I could make money was currency trading on the stock exchange, they call it Forex. But when I started delving into it, I realized that it was very difficult for me. I continued to dig further and came across binary options. The essence is the same as in Forex, but it’s much easier to understand. I started reading forums, studying trading strategies. I tried it on a demo account, then opened a real account. To be honest, I didn’t manage to start earning money right away, until I understood all the mechanics of options, I lost about 3,000 rubles, but as it turned out, it was a precious experience. Now I earn 5-7 thousand rubles a day. I managed to get the car buy after half a year, but in my opinion this is a good result, and it’s not about the car, my life has changed, I naturally quit my job, I have more free time for myself and my family. You’ll laugh, but I work directly on the phone)) If If you want to change your life like me, then here’s what I advise you to do right now: 1. Register on the site 2. Practice on a Demo account (it’s free). 3. As soon as you get something on the Demo account, top up your REAL ACCOUNT and go to REAL MONEY! I also advise you to download the application to your phone, it’s much more convenient to work from your phone. Download here.
1. Check fuse F9 20A in the mounting block. 2. At the same time, we check the relay for switching on the windshield wipers and windshield washers (install a known good one for testing, check that the relay is not installed on the other side). A faulty relay occurs when the intermittent wiper mode does not work. 3. Poor electrical contact. There can be many options, for example, the wiring has melted, poor ground contact, poor contact in the block with the wires in the engine compartment due to exposure to moisture, faulty mounting block, etc. We check the presence of voltage on the electric motor pads. 4. The steering column switch is faulty. 5. The nuts on the trapezoid have become unscrewed or loosened. For example, a nut securing the crank to the gearbox axle. Check the windshield wiper trapezoid, tighten the nuts. 6. The windshield wiper trapezoid is jammed. Repair, lubricate or replace. 7. The electric motor is faulty or its fuse (separate) has blown. We check the voltage supply. If necessary, we repair or replace with a new one.
If the windshield washer does not work, check:
- presence of water in the tank;
- condition of the windshield washer pipes;
- relay and fuse F9 20A;
- washer motor.
Let us remind you that if you are not satisfied with the operation of the windshield wiper, then by modifying the washer system as a whole, or separately, for example, increase the cleaning area of the wipers or modify the relay.
Have you encountered a malfunction in the operation of your car wipers?
If it's snowing or raining outside, wipers become indispensable elements of the car.

Alternative
When choosing wipers, not only their size matters, but also the device, as well as the manufacturer. For VAZ 2110 of all years of manufacture there is one size for the wiper on the driver or passenger side - 20″ (wiper length 508 mm).
However, you should know that you can usually increase the size to 53 cm, but no more, otherwise the windshield wipers will not cope with the task assigned to them, and the drive may fail, because the leash is not designed for such a load. In addition, such wipers creak during operation and can operate jerkily.
If the size is chosen incorrectly, the mechanism will fail faster. In principle, many people use the “original” VAZ wipers and are satisfied with them. But it is possible to modify windshield wipers from other companies, often of higher quality.
For example, for many, frameless brushes (especially Boshevsky ones) are very attractive. They are compact and have a special leash mechanism. However, they do not look particularly nice on a VAZ, since their fastening to the arm of a regular frame wiper turns out to be massive. These brushes need some work.
The VAZ 2112/2111 model has a rear wiper, its size is 11″ (27.9 cm).
Both regular replacement and modification of wipers begin with disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery. Then you need to pull the wiper towards you and remove the brushes.
If there is a decorative trim, it should be removed. Unscrew the bolt and remove the old wiper. Be sure to compare the size of the new windshield wiper with the old one. It will be better if the size of the windshield wiper on the VAZ 2110 does not exceed its predecessor by more than 2 cm. Install everything in the reverse order.
Check to see if the new brushes are squeaking and how they obey the “commands” of the switch. They should work quickly at high engine speeds, and slowly at low and intermittent modes. That, in fact, is the entire repair of VAZ wipers.
What is a relay for?
The windshield wiper relay is designated K2. Its stable operation ensures the supply of a cleaning liquid composition to the front glass. And without this, there will be no normal activity of janitors.
Failure of the front window wipers is a good reason to check this relay. In addition, you should check the operation of the windshield washer motor and its pumping device. The reason may be that the fluid level is insufficient, so the washer fluid tank should also be checked.
The additional relay is designated K6.
Rear window wiper
By windshield wiper we meant the windshield wiper. This applies to all of the above models, but the 2112 hatchback and 2111 estate also have a rear window wiper. It is located on the tailgate. The composition includes a motor and a brush equipped with a lever.
