VAZ 2106 turn signals do not work, emergency lights work

During the operation of the vehicle, malfunctions associated with electrical equipment may appear. One of these troubles is the failure of the turn signal system, usually associated with the indicator relay. We will try to look at what the turn signal system consists of, the most common faults and answer the question of what to do if the turn signals do not work.

Turn signals are a key part of road safety.

Their use lets drivers know your intentions so they can make appropriate decisions and maneuver wisely. The first turn signals appeared in the form of special arrows, activated by a special mechanism and indicating the direction of movement of the car. After that, the system was improved and instead of primitive signs and indicators, the first lamps appeared, which made the driver’s work easier and distracted him less from driving. Those turn signals that we are used to seeing appeared in the 30s of the last century and were used in the form of special lamps located on the wings or bumper of a car. Over time, this has become an essential component of any car and its serviceability must be fully maintained.

Special cases

If there are many lanes on the road, then maneuvers are carried out as follows:

1. Turn right - from the far right lane to the far right lane of the cross road.
2. Turn left and make a U-turn - from the leftmost lane to any lane intended for traffic in a given direction (not to the oncoming lane).

Special cases include meeting vehicles with flashing lights and a sound signal turned on. If such a car is driving, then you should let it pass, and perform the maneuver only if it does not interfere with the passage of the vehicle.

What happens if you are not convinced of the safety of the maneuver and violate the traffic rules?

If the driver is not convinced of the safety of the maneuver being performed, as dictated by the traffic rules, he risks becoming the culprit of an accident, and if the circumstances are successful, he may be fined or deprived of his driving license. The penalty depends on the type of violation committed, but most often Art. 12.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses is applied:

• for an unlit turn signal - a fine of 500 rubles;
• for performing a turn or turn not from the extreme position - 1500 rubles;
• for turning around or driving in reverse where it is prohibited - 500 rubles;
• for ignoring the priority of other cars or a tram when performing a maneuver - 500 rubles.

We recommend reading about the reversal rules. From the article you will learn about the types of turns in a car, making a turn in accordance with traffic regulations, prohibited places for maneuver, and fines for violation. And here is more information about how to avoid accidents when changing lanes.

The ability to start, brake, or drive straight is not enough to be a driver.

It is very important not only to learn how to maneuver, but to know where it is done, how to make a turn, turn, or overtake as safely as possible. The use of skills is necessary not for the sake of obtaining a license, but to get the car to the right place, preserving your health and life

Rotary relay diagnostics

The operation scheme of VAZ 21099 carburetor and injection type turn signals differs only in small details. Plus, the same scheme is used in all VAZ models from 2108 to 21099.

If the turn signals and along with them the emergency lights do not work, then the cause must be looked for in the profile relay, but first you need to carry out diagnostics.

• if the control lights and instrument lighting do not work, then the input fuse is checked first;
• The diagram consists of two parts - the emergency lights and the turning sector. To narrow the search area, you need to press the emergency light button; if the emergency light works, it means the relay is working properly and the reason lies in the turns;
• if the turn signals and emergency lights on the VAZ 21099 do not blink, then you need to check the presence of power on the output wire of the relay, it is designated No. 49 (the numbering is printed on the bottom of the relay, next to the contacts);
• The power supply is checked by a control light when the emergency button is on. The relay is removed, after which one contact is connected to ground, and the second to terminal 49. If there is no voltage, then the fault must be looked for in the fuse package, button or block tracks;
• Next you need to connect terminal 49 to terminal 49A, and all the lights on the indicators and dimensions should light up. If the wires and fuses are intact, then the relay has burned out.

Symptoms of a faulty turn relay

Turn signals, as well as the relay that ensures their correct operation, make it possible to minimize the risks of

The failure of the turn relay may be indicated by the following symptoms, which can actually be identified even without experience and diagnostic work:

• The turn signals do not blink, but stay on continuously. This indicates a breakdown of the electromagnet, which is stuck in one of two positions. Most likely, the relay may need to be replaced;
• The turn signal lamps flicker too quickly or, on the contrary, too slowly. This problem may be caused by incorrectly selected power of the light sources, however, it does not hurt to check the functionality of the relay;
• The turn signals don't work at all. It is quite possible that the cause of the breakdown is a burnt-out light bulb, a broken electrical contact, or a failed fuse. But if all these parts work normally, the problem lies in the turn relay.

Finding out that the device is not working is not difficult at all. If you do not hear characteristic clicks when you turn on the turn signals, then most likely the relay has failed and requires urgent replacement.

Do-it-yourself diagnostics

In a situation where the emergency lights and (or) turn signals do not work, it is advisable to immediately begin troubleshooting. Checking all possible causes is quite simple, and therefore nothing prevents you from doing everything yourself. Accurate identification of symptoms will help you with this. Let's look at the most common ones.

The turn signal does not work, but the lights work. All this clearly indicates a faulty relay. Moreover, it immediately becomes clear that the problem arose due to the failure of its electromagnetic component. Most likely, a short circuit occurred, which led to the immobilization of the anchor.

The next option is that the turn signals on the VAZ-2114 work quite well, but they either blink very slowly or, on the contrary, at an excessively high speed. And this symptom indicates that the relay is not functioning properly, but the root cause is most likely the lamps. If you have recently changed them, then take a look at them. Most likely, the denomination does not correspond to the required one.

Moving the lever does nothing. Here, not only the turn signals themselves (hazard warning lights) do not want to work, but sometimes the dashboard display responsible for them also stops lighting up. An additional symptom is the absence of clicks indicating that the function in question is enabled. There are several reasons:

• control element failure;
• open circuit;
• fuse failure.

Self-diagnosis of car lighting devices

There are several situations in which you can determine that optics need diagnostics:

1. The turns do not flash, but light up. Such a malfunction indicates the failure of the relay, in particular, we are talking about its electromagnetic component. The electromagnet itself could close in one of the positions, as a result of which it cannot return to its initial state.
2. The turning lights flash very quickly or very slowly. In this case, the problem may lie not only in the relay. In some cases, this type of malfunction occurs when the driver uses inappropriate lighting sources. So when purchasing new light bulbs, you need to make sure that they correspond to the rating set by the car manufacturer.
3. The optics don't work at all. That is, the turning light bulbs do not flicker, and the corresponding indicators on the dashboard also do not light up. In addition, there are no characteristic clicks that appear when turning on the turning lights. With such symptoms, there can be many reasons for the problem; we will tell you more about their diagnosis below (the author of the video is the Steel Horse channel).

As for diagnostics, it is performed in several stages:

1. First of all, you need to make sure that all sensors and indicators on the device are working. If they do not function, then it is necessary to diagnose the safety devices.
2. If all devices are operating in normal mode, then you next need to turn on the light alarm button and diagnose all light sources in the headlights. That is, check the front, rear, and side (if any) lights.
3. If the alarm does not function when activated, you need to check the functionality of the relay, and also check the power supply at the terminals. To do this, remove the relay from its mounting location, and then, using a test light, connect one of its contacts to the installation site (to the positive), and the other to the car body or battery. There is no need to turn on the ignition. If there is no power, then most likely the reason lies in a failed safety device, a broken hazard warning button, or a damaged electrical circuit. Also, the essence of the problem may lie in poor contact in the connecting plugs.
4. If there is a plus on the contacts, then try shorting the two relay terminals using copper wiring. If all electrical circuits, as well as the connection plugs, are working properly, then all turn signals should light up. In this case, the fault must be looked for in the relay.
5. If the lights do not light up after the steps you have performed, then most likely the cause of the malfunction lies in the emergency light control button. However, in practice this happens quite rarely; there is often a short circuit in the circuit. By the way, it is a short circuit that can lead to a breakdown of the relay, therefore, before replacing the failed element, you need to eliminate the short circuit.
6. If the emergency signal is functioning, this indicates that the safety devices and relays are working; accordingly, you need to start diagnosing the button itself. First of all, you need to diagnose the positive terminal, as in the case of checking the relay, while the ignition, as well as the hazard warning button, must be activated. If the diagnostics showed that there is no plus, this indicates that the button itself needs to be checked in more detail. Remove it from its seat and check the connection circuit. If there is no power, then you need to look for a break in the wiring from the tidy to the button itself. If there is power, then it will be necessary to short-circuit the terminals at the installation site, the ignition does not turn off, after which the direction indicators must be activated (on either side). When the lighting sources are turned on, the control button must be replaced, but if there is no power, then you need to check the power in the emergency relay. If there is no power, the problem most likely lies in a break in the connecting electrical circuit from the control key to the block with safety devices.

Purpose of the device

Initially, it should be noted that turns operate differently than other lights on a car. They operate in intermittent mode, which is ensured by a product such as the VAZ-2107 turn relay (breaker).

It should also be noted that in addition to intermittent operation, the turn relays emit audible signals in the form of clicks, which help the driver. By these clicks, the driver understands that the device is currently functioning.

In addition to the fact that the breaker is responsible for the functioning of the light alarm necessary for maneuvers, it also allows them to work in emergency mode. The VAZ-2107 uses an electronic relay, the blinking frequency of which lamps depends on the settings of the electronic circuit. Above is a photo of a modern electronic turn signal relay, which is used on VAZ-2107 cars.

Diagnosis of turn signal faults

If one day the turn signals stop functioning, this indicates that it is time to diagnose the car. To do this, there is no need to go to a service station, but you can do everything at home. The following signs indicate that the mechanism has stopped functioning:

• When turned on, the turn signals light up, but they do not flicker. This type of failure is directly related to the failure of the relay. To correct the problem, you need to replace the breaker.
• Accelerated or slow flickering of turn signals. Accelerated flickering indicates that the filament of one of the lamps has burned out. Slow flickering indicates that at least one lamp of higher power than recommended is connected to the circuit. With the advent of modern LED lamps, many motorists are eager to install them on their cars. When installing LED lamps in turn signals, they flicker too quickly, this is due to their low power consumption.
• The devices do not function at all. The reason may be a malfunction of the relay, fuse, steering column switch or hazard warning light button. The connection diagram is designed so that the power for the turn signals passes through the emergency light button. If the button is faulty, then the turns will not function.

For clarity, let’s present a diagram of direction indicators and emergency lights for the seven. It includes:

1. block headlights with turn signal bulbs;
2. direction indicators located on the front fenders of the car (side);
3. mounting block;
4. egnition lock;
5. emergency button;
6. the relay in question;
7. turn signal bulbs located in the rear lights;
8. a light on the instrument panel indicating that the turns are on;
9. Understeering's shifter.

Where to find a relay on a VAZ-2107

Where is the device responsible for the intermittent operation of the turn signal? The relay can be located in two places on the VAZ-2107: in the mounting block or behind the dashboard.

In carburetor "sevens" the product is located behind the dashboard in the car's interior, and in injection ones - on the mounting block, which is located under the hood. Structurally, the breaker is a box with contacts on the outside. The product cannot be repaired, so if it fails, it must be replaced.

Features of replacing the breaker

If it is discovered that the turn relay is faulty, then it needs to be replaced. The product located in the mounting block must be pryed off and dismantled. If it is faulty, which must be verified, then a new one should be installed in its place. This is how replacement is carried out for injection “sevens”. Making a replacement on carburetor “sevens” is much more difficult. The replacement process looks like this:

• You need to remove the dashboard by prying it up with a screwdriver.
• After this, we try to pull it out a short distance, if possible. If the length of the wires does not allow the panel to be brought out a certain distance, then the connections should be disconnected.
• Unscrew the speedometer drive cable.
• Visually locate the relay and disconnect the contact wires from it.
• We also disconnect the ground from it, after which we dismantle the device.
• A new relay should be installed in place of the old turn signal switch.
• Finally, assemble and connect all dismantled parts in the reverse order of removal.

To summarize, it should be noted that the breaker is one of the most important components of every car, and it is necessary to monitor its serviceability. Road safety directly depends on it.

Reasons for failure of turn signals and emergency lights

As you know, the circuit of direction indicators and hazard warning lights is tied, since both functions are performed by the same headlights. If for some reason the hazard lights are working, but the turn signals are not, or neither the turns nor the warning lights are on, this can lead to an emergency situation on the road.

For what reasons did these elements stop working:

1. Fuse failure is one of the most common problems. If the car is additionally equipped with a relay that is responsible for the operation of these optical elements, then the problem may lie there. Depending on the car model, the relay may be located separately from the main fuse block; use the diagram to find the failed part.
2. Short circuit in the system. Because of this, when turning on the turning lights, the emergency lights turn on or the optics do not respond to the driver’s commands at all. To diagnose the problem, you will need a tester, as well as the skills of an electrician.
3. Failure of the lighting source. In other words, the light bulb has burned out.
4. Open circuit. This problem is relevant for many car owners of older cars. If the wires are laid in a place where there are moving elements, then over time it will fray and lose its insulation, which will generally lead to damage to the electrical circuit.
5. Failure of a button or steering column switch. In this case, it is necessary to carry out more thorough diagnostics of the switch, as well as the connection button.

The problem with the turn signals is this. The old relay broke, I bought a new one, a metal barrel with three terminals. I connected it, the turns blink normally, the hazard lights blink normally, the alarm blinks normally and the power switch on the dash blinks normally, but when the turns are turned off, the power switch constantly glows at the incandescent floor. I decided to check the old relay, put it back, the light went out, but the turns blink badly (the relay is broken), I put back the newly purchased one, everything works, but the CL is on, I remove one wire of the relay that goes to the CL, the light goes out. What could this be, are they like this now? and tell me, is there an alternative to buying other relays? from eight is not suitable.

Guys, tell me what could be wrong: car 21043, when I turn the turn, the needle on the standard voltmeter jumps from the green zone to the white zone, when you turn on the emergency lights, you can see that there is a load twitching a little, but not so much. And I had a feeling (according to the readings of the same standard voltmeter) that charging was lost when all consumers were turned on, it was a sin on the gene, so I went through it, changed the bearings, turned the commutator rings with a turner, there were no longer even scratches, but two grooves, the “tablet” was changed with brushes. If anyone says that there is no way to trust the standard voltmeter, I also measured the genes with a multimeter both before and after the repair, but after the repair it still did not output more than 13.7 V, and before the repair, when starting the engine, 13.8-13.9 V after 10 minutes driving voltage dropped to 12 V. I’m already thinking maybe the turn switch is acting up or there’s a short somewhere.

Traffic Laws

Let's see who the driver and pedestrian are within the framework of the Road Traffic Rules.

Please note, “driving” the vehicle and “driving” the vehicle. For example, as soon as a cyclist leaves the saddle of a bicycle, he becomes a pedestrian and when driving a bicycle he has all the responsibilities of a pedestrian, and when driving a bicycle - the responsibilities of a driver.

Definition of a pedestrian crossing:

In this definition, o, which mean that a pedestrian crossing can be marked either by markings together with signs, or separately, either by signs or markings.

Read this definition carefully; many traffic police officers interpret it not in your favor.

Both the pedestrian and the driver are equal road users.

Practical significance

Slip. To correct the flight, you need to press the left pedal

When the airplane flies sideways, the slip indicator ball is not in its center position. With this position of the aircraft, its aerodynamic drag increases significantly, and the flow of air around the wings becomes unequal: the wing, flying slightly behind, is shaded by the fuselage and has less lift.

In addition, the wings of modern aircraft are swept, and therefore, on an aircraft flying sideways, the left and right wings have different sweep angles. The “front” wing has less sweep, and therefore more lift, than the “rear” wing, which also leads to the development of a roll towards the “rear” wing. To counteract the occurrence of roll, aileron deflection is used. As a result of sliding, the overall drag of the aircraft increases and therefore the flight speed decreases. If the indicated speed is low, sliding can lead to the “rear” wing reaching critical angles of attack, stalling towards the “rear” wing and going into a spin.

Dangerous moments during maneuvers

Maneuvering always carries danger, mostly resulting from driver inattention and miscommunication. To avoid a collision, you should always warn about your further actions in advance.

Likewise, you need to keep an eye on what other motorists are going to do. You should always keep your distance from other cars so that you don’t drive into a vehicle during sudden or emergency braking.

The danger when driving backwards is that blind spots may occur. In this case, you need to resort to the help of third parties, that is, ask a person to orient you from the street

In any case, such a maneuver requires caution and slowness. It’s better to get out of the car and look around than to repair the car.

Braking and acceleration lanes

Braking and accelerating lanes are formed by widening the roadway near intersections, public transport stops or turning points on a road with a dividing strip.

They are separated from the rest of the stripes by a wide broken line marking 1.8. The longest acceleration and braking lanes are located on highways - their length can reach 100 meters.

If there is a braking lane, a driver intending to turn, turn around or stop must, without reducing speed, change lanes to this lane and slow down his vehicle only in this lane.

Thus, he will free up the previously occupied lane for those who are behind him and intend to continue moving at the same speed in the forward direction.

If there is an acceleration lane at the entrance to the road, the driver must turn into it, pick up speed in this lane and join the traffic flow at the end of the acceleration lane, without interfering with those moving along the remaining lanes of the roadway.

Reversing out of a parking lot

Clause 9.7 of the Traffic Rules of the Russian Federation

A very common method is to park the car at an angle to the road. If there are almost no problems with entering the parking lot, then leaving the parking lot in reverse is much more difficult. But, if there are no other parked cars in your neighborhood, then the task is simplified, since the visibility zone in this case increases.

If the other car is parked only on the left side, this is also not bad, since when leaving the parking lot, you first need to look back to the right. A car standing on the left can interfere only from the point of view that it can be hit by the left front wing of its own car. But it will be most difficult to leave if there are cars parked on both sides, especially if there is a large car on your right.

The main feature is that you will have to reverse onto the road with a very small visibility area. Before starting a maneuver, look around and assess the road situation, and while performing the maneuver, be prepared to stop at any time.

If you have passengers in your car, ask one of them to get out and give you traffic tips. If there is no one to help, then there is nothing terrible - you still need to leave. Remember that before you leave, you must give way to all cars moving on the roadway.

Having made sure that there are no obstacles, we turn on reverse gear, the right turn signal and slowly drive out of the parking lot. It is better to drive the first two or three meters on straight wheels (remember what the dynamic dimensions of a car are), then depending on the situation. We constantly monitor the front left and rear right wings of our car, as they can easily catch the left and right cars.

When the rear bumper of your car is level with the rear bumper of the right car, it is better to stop and reassess the road situation. If possible, you can use the windows of the car on the right. If this is not possible (for example, that car is tall or its rear windows are heavily tinted), i.e. the view is completely blocked, don’t be lazy, get out of the car, having first put it on the parking brake (handbrake) and look at the road. If there are no obstacles, you can continue leaving.

When your rear window (the back of the rear seat) is level with the rear bumper of the right car, we begin to turn the steering wheel to the right, while simultaneously looking behind the left front fender of our car. As soon as the car has left and is completely in the lane, we turn on the left turn signal and begin to move forward, monitoring the situation behind the car with short glances in the rearview mirror. We need to be prepared for the fact that as we move, someone else may leave the parking lot and they may also have a limited view.

Sometimes drivers, in order to help another driver calmly leave the parking lot, do this: when they see that someone is leaving the parking lot in reverse, they stop before reaching him, turn on the hazard lights and calmly wait. The driver, seeing that he is being let out, calmly completes the maneuver, blinks his emergency lights as a sign of gratitude, and leaves. This is driver solidarity.

The considered options for starting the car to move (leaving the parking lot and integrating into the traffic flow) are cases where the flow is interrupted and we have a “window”. But what to do when the traffic flow is very dense and continuous? This happens often, especially during rush hours.

There is an exit. In this situation, turn on the left turn signal, turn the wheels to the left and start moving slowly with the clutch half-depressed towards the moving cars. We look out the left window so as not to accidentally hit any of the passing cars and slowly approach the stream, flashing the turn signal. In such a situation, someone will definitely stop to let us pass. And then we calmly drive into the second lane and don’t forget to thank the driver who let us through by flashing his emergency lights.

In approximately the same way, driving onto the road from the side of the road is accomplished. When standing on the side of the road, you must first let pass all passing vehicles that you may interfere with with your movement, and only then, after making sure that the maneuver is safe, you can start moving.

LOOKING FOR DAMAGE WITH YOUR OWN HANDS

Primary diagnostics can be carried out with a test light, but a tester is required to check the condition of the circuit. If you know how to use a multimeter, then in resistance measurement mode you can independently “ring” the wiring for a break.

If you clearly hear the relay clicking when you turn on the right/left turn signal, check the resistance of the section of the circuit with the steering column switch. If only the left or right side does not work, the reason is definitely in the switch or in the wiring of the circuit from it to the light bulbs.

If the turn signal relay does not click at all, check the condition of the contacts, the positive wire and ground. If, after turning on the ignition, “+” does not come to the relay, the problem is most likely in the section of the circuit from the mounting block to the relay.

UNDERSTEERING'S SHIFTER

The cause of the malfunction can be either mechanical damage to plastic or contact elements, or the formation of carbon deposits. During operation of the turn signals, the contacts may burn out, which increases the resistance and reduces the current in the circuit. It is typical that in the case of oxides and carbon deposits, the indicator relay may click, but the lamps will not light up.

To repair the steering column switch, you will need to remove it from the steering column and disassemble it. There are many contact pads inside the case, so for trouble-free assembly, remember the location of all moving elements.

WHERE IS AND HOW TO CHECK THE TURN SIGNAL RELAY

The turn signal relay is located in the fuse box in the passenger compartment or under the hood. You can find out the exact location from the repair and operation manual of your car. Often on the inside of the mounting block the purpose of the relays and fuses is graphically depicted.

Soldering of elements from the circuit, microcracks in solder joints, failure of the main microcircuit are the most common causes of turn signal failure.

EMERGENCY

The hazard warning button imitates the steering column turn switch, but closes both contacts at once (on the right and left sides). The video shows the design and operating principle of a simple system, analogues of which are used not only on VAZ cars.

During the operation of the vehicle, malfunctions associated with electrical equipment may appear. One of these troubles is the failure of the turn signal system, usually associated with. We will try to look at what the turn signal system consists of, the most common faults and answer the question of what to do if the turn signals do not work.

Turn signals are a key part of road safety.

Their use lets drivers know your intentions so they can make appropriate decisions and maneuver wisely. The first turn signals appeared in the form of special arrows, activated by a special mechanism and indicating the direction of movement of the car. After that, the system was improved and instead of primitive signs and indicators, the first lamps appeared, which made the driver’s work easier and distracted him less from driving. Those turn signals that we are used to seeing appeared in the 30s of the last century and were used in the form of special lamps located on the wings or bumper of a car. Over time, this has become an essential component of any car and its serviceability must be fully maintained.

Selection of the most suitable series of elements

The main parameters of any device in this series are the rated current and rated voltage. That is, the operating values ​​of these parameters at which the LED retains its original properties. The calculation is made according to Ohm's law for a section of the circuit. Each car has a current source with specified parameters - current and voltage. On the other hand, we have the characteristics of the required LED. The difference between the first and second values ​​will be the characteristics of the resistor that must be connected in series in the circuit. And knowing the parameters of the latter, the entire circuit can be assembled without much difficulty.

Let's carry out the calculation for the simplest circuit, which consists of a stabilized voltage source, an LED and a protective resistor. In other cases, the technique remains almost the same, but only due to the larger number of elements used, the calculation becomes more complicated.

Calculation of LED connection diagram

For example, in a car there is a source whose values ​​are respectively 0.02A and 24V. Moreover, a constant voltage source (for example, a battery). The LED needs to receive 0.02A and 2V. Now we determine the value of the potential drop across the resistor:

UR= Upit-Ud,

where UR is the potential drop across the resistor, V

Upit – power source voltage, V

Ud – nominal (operating) potential drop across the diode, V

Using the formula given earlier, we get UR=24-2=22V. All elements of this circuit are connected to each other in series. As a result, the current does not branch off anywhere; at any point in the circuit it will be equal to 0.02A. As a result, we obtain the value of the resistor resistance according to Ohm’s law:

R=UR/IR,

where R is the resistor resistance, Ohm

IR – current in the circuit, A

Substituting the necessary values, we get R=22/0.02=1100 Ohm

Next, we determine the second most important parameter of any resistor - power. It is determined by the formula:

PR = IR * UR.

The result is PR = 0.02 * 22 = 0.44 W. From the existing series of resistors, we select the nearest largest values ​​- 1.1 kOhm and 0.5 W. At this point the calculation can be considered complete - the parameters of all elements of the electrical circuit have been determined.

Keep calm

You must try to remain calm and cool in all situations. There are situations, especially in limited space, when you have limited your passage while maneuvering and they start honking at you and rushing you. If you start fussing and reacting, you will most likely get into an accident and block the passage.

When a person fusses or is embarrassed to show his inexperience, he begins to frantically make a bunch of mistakes: confuses gears, pedals, turns in the wrong direction, turns the steering wheel in the wrong direction, over-throttles, misjudges the situation, etc.

I think no one wants to stand, wait for the traffic police and waste time on the court. If anything happens, everyone will wait.

If someone honks and swears furiously, then explain to them the consequences. If he wants to speed up the process, then let him help.

Reasons for failure of turn signals and emergency lights

As you know, the circuit of direction indicators and hazard warning lights is tied, since both functions are performed by the same headlights. If for some reason the hazard lights are working, but the turn signals are not, or neither the turns nor the warning lights are on, this can lead to an emergency situation on the road.

For what reasons did these elements stop working:

1. Fuse failure is one of the most common problems. If the car is additionally equipped with a relay that is responsible for the operation of these optical elements, then the problem may lie there. Depending on the car model, the relay may be located separately from the main fuse block; use the diagram to find the failed part.
2. Short circuit in the system. Because of this, when turning on the turning lights, the emergency lights turn on or the optics do not respond to the driver’s commands at all. To diagnose the problem, you will need a tester, as well as the skills of an electrician.
3. Failure of the lighting source. In other words, the light bulb has burned out.
4. Open circuit. This problem is relevant for many car owners of older cars. If the wires are laid in a place where there are moving elements, then over time it will fray and lose its insulation, which will generally lead to damage to the electrical circuit.
5. Failure of a button or steering column switch. In this case, it is necessary to carry out more thorough diagnostics of the switch, as well as the connection button.

Tuning tail lights

Very often on the roads there are “classic” VAZs with modified lighting fixtures. But if tuning the headlights is usually aimed at improving the standard light, then modifications to the rear lights come down to giving them a more aesthetic appearance. In most cases, car owners simply install LED lamps in the headlights and replace the lens with a more remarkable one. Such tuning in no way contradicts the design of the lighting and light signaling systems.

LEDs make the light brighter

But there are also drivers who, without thinking about the possible consequences, try to radically change them.

Tinting headlights negatively affects the effectiveness of light signaling

Dangerous types of taillight tuning include:

• toning;
• installing a diffuser whose cell colors do not match the established ones;
• using too bright lamps.

Do not be shy

Don't be shy to ask for help. This applies not only to novice drivers, but also to experienced ones, thereby you and those around you will avoid a fairly large number of problems.

When maneuvering in a confined space, do not hesitate to get out of the car 10 times and make sure that you do not hit anything. If necessary, ask someone for help. Before you start maneuvering, try to explain to your assistant what exactly you want from him. You must make sure that the assistant understands the task correctly. If he misunderstands what exactly you want from him, then you may get into an accident.

Transition from an electromagnetic-thermal relay to an electronic one.

This “barrel” is located under the dashboard of a car. This is an electromagnetic thermal relay. Due to short-term operation (1-2 months), it is recommended to replace it with an electronic one. After this time, it begins to burn or shorts out.

The following are the steps to replace it:

• disconnect the contact terminals;
• We mark each wire with a marker, or use paint to highlight it in different colors;
• contact No. 1 of the electronic relay is connected to the wire with the x sign;
• Contact No. 2 of the electronic relay is connected to the wire marked L;
• contact No. 3 of the electronic relay is connected to the wire marked P;
• Contact No. 4 is ground, we connect it to a separate wire.

All this work must be carried out when using heat shrink.

The replacement of incandescent lamps with LEDs in direction indicators is gaining great popularity due to the fact that incandescent lamps are much inferior to LED lamps in terms of service life and light output.

Malfunctions of turn signals VAZ 2107

The main symptom of a malfunction is non-functioning direction indicators. However, the reason may not be only the relay. There are several possible breakdowns:

• The turn signal lamps are constantly on and do not blink. This indicates a malfunction of the electromagnetic part of the VAZ 2107 turn signal relay - the contacts are stuck in the closed position and do not open. This could be either a burnt-out contact of the electromagnetic relay or a failure of the electronic circuit of the turn relay. Regardless of the specific reason, there is only one way out - replacing the VAZ 2107 turn signal relay.
• Lights flash too slowly or quickly. The reason may be either in the electronic part of the turn relay or in the discrepancy between the current consumption of the lamps and the nominal one. If one of the lamps has burned out or lamps that consume less current are installed, the turns will flash more often than necessary. The same phenomenon occurs if the wire going to one of the lamps is broken, or the lamp socket or base is oxidized. A similar phenomenon occurs when installing LED lamps instead of incandescent lamps. When installing more powerful lamps, the blinking frequency decreases. If all the lamps are in working order and the malfunction did not appear after replacing the lamps, the reason lies precisely in the turn relay or poor contacts in the lamp power circuit.
• The direction indicator lamps do not light up. The cause of the malfunction may be a broken turn switch, a burnt-out (faulty) turn relay, an open circuit, or a blown fuse. It is better to start checking from the last one

VAZ2105 stopped working, the right rear turn signal in front works. When you turn it on, the engine starts to heat up and the fuses light up. Tried the emergency lights, same situation. the left one works. what to do

Hello, my 2106 has lost turns, I turn on the emergency lights, they light up but don’t blink, tell me what could be wrong

Hello, please tell me I can’t find the reason. on the panel there is no sign of a light turning. But when you turn it on, it works and the emergency lights also work. The relay clicks and the light does not shine on the panel. How to find out the reason, thanks in advance.

Thank you)) helped me get home on a jig))

Hello Vyacheslav, I have a Niva 2121, produced in 1980, with an 8-pin emergency button. I want to install a 6-pin one, like you have on your car, how do I connect it correctly? Waiting for your answer please!

When my emergency lights are turned on, the instruments and turn signals do not work

You are simply a Super Master from God. You explain everything very clearly and clearly about this common problem. Tell me, have you tried to repair the steering column switch, is it repairable?

I have a VAZ 2107. The hazard warning lights and the left turn signal work, but the right one does not. What is the reason?

Good day. That's the problem. The turn signal lamp shines at a lower frequency in the high beam when the ignition is on. If you drive for a long time on the far one, the signal disappears, unless you switch to the near one and back. As soon as I turn the dimensions, the turn control blinks once. Help

thanks saved me time.

and here I am, the father of the girl who wrote to you about my problem with the turn signals on the VAZ 2103: the turns themselves work, but when I turn on the side lights or headlights, the turns light up constantly. What do you recommend doing in this situation?

Hello, my dad has a VAZ 2103 and the car has this problem: the turn signals work, but when you turn on the side lights or headlights, the turn signals glow with a constant light, which is not normal. Please tell me what needs to be done, otherwise our auto electricians don’t want to delve into old Lada cars. Thank you in advance.

Please tell me about this problem. VAZ-2107, when turning on the right turn or emergency lights, the turn relay heats up and the turn relay lights up, before that the fuse burned out. Left turn works fine. It's short somewhere, but I can't figure out where.

There is a fuse in the circuit there.

To help prevent all turns from turning and crashing, only the light bulb in the device does not shine, so you can tell it to work.

When to turn on the turn signal

Turn signal, turn signal, where's the mystery?
Well, I got lost about 20 years ago :)). Now there are no mysteries. Some answers.

And where should I put the mind? :)) oh, my answer turned out to be correct :-) Give discounts to elderly and absent-minded people. Sometimes they perform a maneuver, but forget to turn off the turn signal.

Anything can happen, all living people. Absent-minded people definitely don’t belong behind the wheel.

Because of such absent-mindedness, many troubles happen. Personally, I turn it on in advance so as not to mislead anyone.

immediately before the start of the maneuver. all these points of yours are wrong!))) P.S.

I wonder if people (who responded to the survey) actually read the traffic rules or immediately got behind the wheel after buying a license?))) how is this directly, in general, the rules say it is written IN ADVANCE, you taught them a long time ago. Can I now ask you IN ADVANCE how much it will cost? How do you understand this word? about 50 meters away, they told us that at driving school (but of course, if you don’t mislead others) if there are such erroneous turns, then directly. And you, Natalya, like to make a row, it’s clear from your answers that I’m making a row?!

Olga, you are mistaken!) What if during those 50 meters there is another turn (which you don’t need to take)? How will I understand if I’m driving behind you that you need to take the far turn and not the near one?!)))

- this is exactly what I was talking about and this is exactly what I meant!

Natalya, I wrote, well, I’ll explain, if there is only one turn 50 meters away, if there are two of them and I need to take the second one, then immediately, when I approach 2. This question is on the ticket, well, yes, now I agree with you, sorry , I also probably didn’t understand you when you answered, I meant exactly if there is one turn and you if there are 2 of them, but what did the author mean? At which turns “directly” - how much does it cost? in a few seconds. Again, situations are different. If the speed is low (in a residential area, for example), then in 3-4 seconds, and if it’s on a highway, then naturally a little more.

A! Well, it’s not directly - it’s in advance :) Each person has his own understanding of words, so people don’t understand each other :))) Thank you. Please don't get too personal :))

A.S.

Pushkin “Eugene Onegin” and did I really switch to someone’s specific personality?!))) But as for “somehow”, it shouldn’t be on the road. This is precisely the point: there is no answer to this question in the rules. But we are not looking for easy ways :), but we try to drive politely and informatively.

To avoid crashes, horns and accidents.

Oh! If only everyone were like this. And then there are so many accidents. I'm afraid to drive. With my husband - yes. I'm afraid myself. And it is necessary. VERY. the rules say “in advance”))) answered 100m ahead.

But everything depends, in my opinion, on the situation on the road. If you stupidly stand in a traffic jam at a traffic light on the far left and turn left, then you can turn it closer.

Hm. And if there is another turn before the turn you need?))) everyone else should guess at which turn you will turn?))) That’s exactly why we were taught in driving school: after the last unnecessary turn in this direction, but no more than 200 meters.

of course, before the required turn)) And if before the start of the maneuver, then you may not have time to notify other road users

Signaling does not give the driver an advantage or relieve him from taking precautions.

If you slow down and ram the culprit

Art. 10.1 The traffic rules do not give clear recommendations on what is better to do - ram the danger when braking or try to dodge. But judicial practice shows that if you ram the culprit during emergency braking, there is a good chance in the end to prove that you are right.

The driver will be guilty only if he rammed an obstacle or hit an obstacle and did not brake for any reason.

The pedestrian's fault does not relieve the driver of responsibility

A classic example is pedestrians who violate crossing rules. They can often pop up in the most unexpected places. At the same time, the pedestrian’s guilt does not relieve the driver of responsibility, especially if the passerby injured in the accident died. In this case, the driver may face a prison sentence or a large fine.

VAZ 2106 | Checking the direction indicators and hazard warning light system

Checking the direction indicators and hazard warning light system

The hazard warning light system must always be in working order, so it is supplied with current from the power wire “3” (red) directly from the “plus” of the battery. The turn signals receive power only when the ignition is on through the ignition switch from terminal 9 through fuse No. 6.

Trouble-shooting

Turn signal and hazard warning lights

C. When turning, the direction indicator lights are on, but the hazard warning lights do not work. 1. The red wire (terminal 3) between the push-button switch and the battery is faulty. 2. The connector behind the dashboard is incorrectly connected or damaged. 3. The hazard warning light switch is faulty.

D. The hazard warning lights work, but the turn signal does not illuminate when turning.

1. The purple wire (terminal 5) between the combination switch and the light relay is broken. 2. See C 2 and 3.

E. The turn signal lights do not illuminate when the hazard warning lights are on or when turning.

1. Fuse No. 6 is faulty. 2. See C 1-3. 3. Poor ground connection.

Help with a faulty turn signal relay

With a faulty light relay, continuing to drive poses a certain danger because in heavy traffic and, above all, in the dark, your intention to turn may not be understood by other road users.

Types of problems and troubleshooting methods

The turn signal works correctly if the following indicators are met:

• the presence of the ignition on ensures the operating mode;
• moving the steering column switch up and down must be accompanied by turning on the turn signal on the corresponding side;
• The turn signal should flash at a rate of 60 cycles per minute.

Flashing at a certain frequency

Any other turn signal behavior indicates a problem. The most common causes of malfunctions include:

Non-blinking turn signal. The problem requires familiarity with the basic principle of relay operation: the current passing through the lamps leads to heating of the measuring resistor - an element that determines whether a particular lamp needs to be turned on. Consequently, the lamp resistance, different from the nominal one, changes the time the turn signal is turned on: it begins to blink. In this situation, it is recommended to lightly tap the relay (this helps if there is a weak connection or moisture). If you have replaced the relay, but the turn signal does not blink, but is constantly on, then there is poor contact with the fuse block. Replacing a fuse that was found to have a resistance value that does not correspond to the nominal value can also help.

Turn signal light

Stopping the operation of one turn signal is incompatible with a relay malfunction (problems of this type cause the operation of both turn signals to malfunction). One of the turn signals may fail due to a burnt-out light bulb (the simplest option) or a faulty wiring or socket. The new tab must not only fit into the turn signal socket, but also correspond to the power indicated on the lamp

If after replacing the light bulb the turn signal still does not start working, you need to pay attention to the socket. If there are traces of oxidation on it, then you should start removing them

Sandpaper or a needle file works well for this. And if the light bulb is in too tight contact with the contacts, then you need to bend them with thin-nose pliers. This must be done as carefully as possible, preventing the contacts from closing, which can lead to another problem - the turn signals working in a checkerboard pattern. The normal state of the cartridge means that the cause of the malfunction lies in the wiring. First you need to make sure that the wire is securely connected to the socket. In this case, it is unacceptable for the wires to be closed to each other or to have a ground short to the metal body of the car. In this case, it is necessary to replace the wires or at least insulate them. If at the same time the hazard lights do not work, then the relay definitely needs to be changed - it is faulty.

Does not burn

Also, the reason for the turn signal not working may be the switch itself. To check it, you need to get to the steering column switch and unmount it. By the way, if a problem occurs in the form of a hazard warning light that does not turn on when there are normally working turn signals, you just need to replace the button responsible for turning on the emergency lights.

A dim turn signal light is a signal to check the suitability of the model and power. If everything is in order, then cleaning the contacts of the light bulbs can correct the situation.

Relay

A turn signal relay making a clicking sound is also not normal. The malfunction is hidden in the mounting block, or more precisely, in the relay contacts. Clicking sounds may occur if the contact is oxidized or is too tight. This can also be caused by a defective relay. The problem can be fixed by cleaning the contacts or installing a new relay.

Turn switch

A turn signal that does not work on one side, either front or rear, or in the repeater, indicates that the steering column switch is broken, there is no contact with it, or that the same relay has failed.

Priora fuse box

The turn signal circuitry is protected by an 8-amp fuse located in the mounting block. If it breaks down, turns will stop working on both the left and right sides of the car.

The light signaling system ensures traffic safety, so the driver should always have at least light bulbs of the required power with him.

The essence of this paragraph of the law

Clause 10.1 of the Russian Traffic Regulations with commentaries has not changed since its introduction and is still in effect. According to it, the driver must choose a safe speed taking into account traffic volume, meteorological conditions and general visibility. If an obstacle or danger to movement appears, the driver is obliged to take action to reduce the speed until the vehicle stops.

The law requires you to reduce your speed to avoid a collision.

The second paragraph clearly states that you should not practice dangerous driving and create emergency situations. If someone cuts off, drives into oncoming traffic, or violates traffic rules, “ramming” the offender’s car is prohibited in any case.

Any maneuver into oncoming traffic - and the one who avoided the accident will be guilty. If the driver did not take measures to stop the vehicle, then he can also be found guilty of the accident, since he violated a specific point.

This means: if you see danger, brake. The most interesting thing about this rule is the consideration of specific precedents. This means that until the accident occurs, clause 10.1 of the traffic rules is not considered violated.

How many meters before the turn should you turn on the turn signal?

It’s a good question so that people don’t swear at you from behind, so that others can understand in advance what you are going to do. You should turn it on when you pass all possible courtyards on the right or parking places and gas stations.

If there are none, then you can turn it on even 100 meters away - the main thing is not to be misled by turning not at an intersection, but, for example, into a courtyard. The traffic rules say “in advance.” at least 4 seconds before the start of the turn, 200m+ depends on the speed of movement. there should be enough time for others to understand your intentions in the rules - in advance, I turn on in populated areas about 50m away, and outside the city.

50 meters away or when you start to slow down 100-150 meters. The higher the speed before the turn, the sooner.

in advance, it depends on the traffic situation and visibility conditions.

It is important that other participants understand 100% your intention to perform the maneuver. the rules are as follows: immediately before maneuvering and turn off immediately after completing the maneuver in advance - that is, so that other participants understand that you will be performing a maneuver

. Turning on does not give you any advantage in driving. Guys - quite already - IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE MANEUVER

Turn relay VAZ 2107

Unlike other lighting devices, the direction indicators operate intermittently and flash. A special device is responsible for the operation of the indicators - the VAZ 2107 turn signal relay. In addition to ensuring the blinking of the lamps, the relay performs a signaling function. It notifies you of the operation of the turn signals with audible signals - clicks.

At first, a thermal relay was installed on VAZ cars, in which the contacts were closed (opened) by a nichrome string, which heated and cooled due to the current passing through it. In later models, which include the “seven,” a relay with an electronic circuit and an electromagnet is used. The blinking frequency of the direction indicator lamps is determined by the settings of the electronic circuit. This design has fewer moving parts and contacts, and is therefore more reliable.

The device also performs the function of a VAZ 2107 emergency flasher relay, causing the lamps to flash when the hazard lights are turned on.

How to fix

How to make turns faster along the correct trajectory?

To prevent this problem from occurring in the future, follow these steps:

• find out where the relay is located. The layout of its placement is indicated in the instructions supplied with the car;
• tap the relay. Often the reason lies in a banal “sticking”, and a slight blow resumes the operation of the optics;
• if the measures did not help, and your lighting devices are still not functioning, replace the relay, because the product is inexpensive.

. Asks

: Alexey Antipov. Essence of the question

: the emergency lights do not flash and the turn signals do not turn on, why on the VAZ-2110?

The turn signals work every now and then. I also checked the emergency lights. I'm standing at a traffic light, and if I accelerate, the turn signal starts blinking, what is it? VAZ-2110 car, EURO panel. Engine 16 valves.
