Cigarette lighter modification


Some drivers upgrade the device by installing an additional connector. To do this you will need to acquire a tool.

  1. Drill or screwdriver with a set of metal drills.
  2. A crown for cutting a hole, the diameter should match the diameter of the car cigarette lighter.
  3. File.
  4. Soldering iron with solder.
  5. Wire cutters.
  6. Screwdrivers.
  7. Multitester.
  8. Heat-shrink tubing.
  9. Wire of suitable cross-section. You should take extra cables to avoid the possibility of melting. The optimal cross-section would be 1.5-2 mm.
  10. A fuse that can withstand the amperage recommended by the vehicle cigarette lighter manufacturer.

Next, we proceed to installing the additional device ourselves.

  1. We turn off the power to the car and select a place to connect an additional car cigarette lighter. It is advisable that it be a flat panel - the device will not stick to corrugated or curved surfaces.
  2. We drill a hole of a suitable diameter and clean the edges with a file.
  3. We connect to the wiring by following the pinout and passing through the fuse.
  4. We check the functionality of the model and carry out assembly.

Replacing fuses in the relay under the steering wheel

It often happens that the fuse burns out or simply stops functioning. In this case, you need to get to the relay with fuses and replace the necessary ones. Instructions:

  1. Turn off the power to the vehicle and related electrical devices.
  2. Determine which fuse protects the circuit of the failed device.
  3. Remove the plastic bracket with a metal tip from the mounting in the fuse box cover.
  4. Install this bracket on the required fuse and remove it.
  5. Determine the condition of the fuse. If the metal wire is burnt out, it must be replaced. The fuse must be replaced with the same rating.
  6. It is highly not recommended to replace fuses with a higher or lower rating. There is a high risk of fire. In addition, there is a high probability of a malfunction elsewhere in the electrical circuit.
  7. If the new fuse quickly blows again, you need to contact a service company to check the corresponding electrical circuit.
  8. Insert the cover into the front panel against the arrow, with the guide protrusions into the holes in the instrument panel. Press the lid until it locks.

Always keep several spare fuses in your vehicle. You never know for sure which one will wear out or burn out and when. And this can affect the entire car.

Replacing fuses inside the Skoda Rapid interior: briefly about the main thing

To replace a blown fuse inside the car, you will need 10 minutes of free time, and all you need to do is take a slotted screwdriver and pliers. To change the device you need to:

  • Turn off the power to the vehicle by disconnecting the ground terminal from the battery;
  • Next, open the fuse box - in the cabin the block is located on the left side under the steering wheel. To remove the plastic panel, you need to pry the casing towards yourself and pull it along the path indicated by the arrow on the plastic. If the panel cannot be pulled out, you need to pry the latches with the tip of a slotted screwdriver, and then repeat the dismantling procedure;
  • To replace the corresponding fuse, it is recommended to use the diagram from their vehicle’s technical book - otherwise, the entire block panel will have to be tested with a multimeter;
  • If the search result is successful, we disconnect the consumer devices connected to a specific product from the fuse box.

There may be several consumer devices per fuse, or several fuses may be installed per device. In order to completely disconnect the equipment, it is recommended to check the wiring diagram in the vehicle's technical book or test the contacts with a multimeter.

  • Next, we take out the plastic grip from the panel cover and remove the burnt part. After installing the new spare part, we reconnect consumers and assemble the panel.

It is also important to know that, depending on the configuration of the Skoda Rapid, 2 options of the block panel can be installed in the car, differing in the number and arrangement of elements in the device. The plastic panel is mounted by lightly pressing along the entire perimeter until the characteristic sound of the latches clicking into place.

Ideal protection option for Skoda Rapid

Owners of a fairly expensive and high-quality Czech car Skoda Rapid need only the best protection against theft, which StarLine B64 . This security and telematics complex with a dialogue code that is immune to scanning will ensure the best safety of your vehicle.

A special 512-channel transceiver, protected from interference, with a warning radius of up to two thousand meters will help you not to worry about the safety of your car. The car alarm checks the presence of the key fob in the notification zone at a certain periodicity, so that if you leave this zone, the key fob will notify you about it. This car alarm combines the latest technological developments and the best engineering solutions, so this security system will be an ideal option for both the Skoda Rapid and any other car.

Review of Probable Causes

So, first of all, let’s talk about what became the “culprit” for the improper operation of the dimmer.

Most often, the dimmer stops working after a light bulb in a chandelier or floor lamp burns out. At the moment of burnout, a short circuit may occur, as a result of which one of the most important circuit elements in the dimmer, the triac, burns out. If the triac does not work, the entire circuit fails.

The second reason why the device may not turn on, or vice versa, may not turn off the light, is that the dimmer works with an energy-saving lamp. We have already talked about the fact that for LED and fluorescent lamps you need to buy special dimmers, specifically designed to work with “housekeepers”.

What to do so that the device can adjust the brightness of the light

Another probable cause of the malfunction is incorrectly selected dimmer power, as a result of which it does not work as it should. We have already said more than once that the power of the dimmer should be 30-50% greater than the power of all the light bulbs it regulates.

If you missed this point and inserted too powerful light sources into the lamp, it is not surprising why the dimmer does not turn off the light or adjust the brightness of the lamps. We talked about how to choose a dimmer in a separate article. Well, the last thing that needs to be said is that perhaps the problem is in the electrical wiring on the site: the chandelier-switch.

Note:

If the car does not start or starts with great effort, then there is no need to rush to replace the starter. Possibly, it is enough to change the solenoid relay or even just clean the terminals that might have oxidized.

Solenoid relay repair

1. Disconnect power from the vehicle.

2. Raise the front of the car using a jack or a lift box.

3. Remove the car starter (removed from above). Assess the condition of contacts.

4. Use sandpaper or scrape the surface with a sharp scraper or even a knife.

5. After wiping the contacts with a clean napkin, put everything back in place and check the functionality by starting the engine.

Note:

If it starts, great. If it doesn’t start, then you should buy a starter and replace the old one.

Fuses for Skoda Rapid: diagram where they are located

Fuses are electrical switching devices whose functional purpose is to prevent short circuits and damage to electrical equipment due to high voltage.

The use of fuses allows you to protect components from current overload, which increases the service life of the vehicle and reduces the cost of repairs in the event of a breakdown.

You should not skimp on the quality of fuses, as this directly affects the protection of the vehicle from short circuits. It is not recommended to purchase analogues of low-cost original components or devices from the secondary market - the optimal solution is to purchase dealer parts from VAG.

Causes of cigarette lighter failure

The device may stop working due to various factors. The main reasons for a malfunction of the Duster cigarette lighter are improper operation of the device or great age, or a blown fuse. Common breakdowns.

  1. A loose nest. Frequently connecting foreign electrical devices with a non-standard plug to the connector can bend the fixing antennae, causing the contact to disappear. Repairing the Duster cigarette lighter in this case is simple - you need to remove it from the socket and then bend the clamps inside the socket. To avoid short circuit, you must remove the fuse before this procedure.
  2. Oxidized contacts or plaque. Age-related disease. It may also appear after liquid gets on the legs. Because of this, the integrity of the circuit is compromised, and in extreme situations there is a risk of the fuse tripping and a short circuit. Repairing the cigarette lighter is simple - just rub the contact areas with sandpaper or a file, removing traces of foreign substances.
  3. Burnt fuse. The maximum current strength of this segment of the electrical circuit is 15 amperes. The maximum permissible power of connected devices is 180 Watt (p=I*A, 180 Watt = 12 volts*15 amperes). Due to a short circuit or exceeding the permissible value, this parameter may go out of range. To protect the wiring insulation from melting, the fuse on the Duster fails. The repair consists of getting to the mounting block. Next, replace the blown fuse.
  4. "Shorty." If the new fuse blows again, then it is obvious that there is a short circuit in the network. Turn off the ignition and then measure the battery voltage. Turn on the ignition and take measurements again. A difference of more than 0.5 volts is unacceptable - this is evidence of a short circuit and a tripped fuse. You should arm yourself with a multitester and test all the wires going to the device.
  5. Fallen cables. Due to age or intensive use, the wires on the Duster cigarette lighter may fray or fall off at the soldering points. The fuse trips. You should test all cords for resistance, and also inspect them to see if there are any creases, exposed wiring, or broken areas. Broken cords must be replaced with new ones, and missing soldering points must be soldered using a soldering iron and tin.
  6. Burnt-out filament. After prolonged exposure to temperature, the spiral inside the rod may burn out, causing the device to stop functioning. It will be necessary to remove the Renault Duster cigarette lighter, and then replace it with a new spare part.
  7. Broken backlight lamp. The light bulb that guarantees the operation of the filter may burn out due to age or constant shaking. To replace it, you will need to remove the cigarette lighter, dismantle the filter and change the lamp.

Nuances when replacing fuses:

- We only change the fuse of the same rating! In no case more than that, to avoid the risk of fire and problems with electrical faults.

  1. - if the fuse is changed, but it quickly burns out, you need to check the electrical circuit, preferably at a service station.
  2. — You should always carry a supply of fuses with you.
  3. — one consumer of electricity can be protected by several fuses.
  4. — one fuse can protect the circuits of several electrical consumers.
  5. — electrically adjustable seats are protected by automatic fuses that automatically turn on after the load drops.

The cost of a set of a new mounting block for the interior is from 2500 - 2800 rubles, for the engine compartment - from 2300 rubles. Individual modules from 200 – 250 rubles (originals), high-quality analogues from 180 rubles.

Characteristic signs of faulty fuses

  • Mechanisms, equipment are inactive, the power circuit is not damaged, complete circuits, terminals, limit switches;
  • The modules in the mounting block are heated, the temperature regime is unusual;
  • The smell of melted plastic can be heard in the car interior and engine compartment;
  • An indicator on the dashboard indicates a malfunction in the equipment;
  • The car engine does not start.

Typical causes of fuse failure

  • Failure to comply with the deadlines for scheduled technical inspections and replacement of worn-out elements;
  • Purchase of non-original consumables (modules);
  • Violation of installation technology;
  • Mechanical damage to the mounting block;
  • Short circuit in the electrical circuit;
  • Damage to insulation, terminals, power cable ends;
  • Terminal oxidation;
  • Weak contact fixation;
  • Formation (accumulation) of moisture and condensation, which caused a short circuit in the circuit and equipment breakdown.

Fuse is to blame

Burnout of the protective element is one of the most common causes of Renault Duster cigarette lighter failure. The fuse is rated for a maximum current of 15 amps. Due to a short circuit or other issues, this parameter is out of scope. Then the fuse blows, maintaining the insulation of the wires, eliminating the risk of fire. If it breaks down, the power supply for the sound signal will also fail when the ignition and engine are turned on.

The mounting block is located in the cabin, on the left end side of the front panel. Its location is indicated in the photo. To get to it, you need to open the driver's door and remove the decorative cover. In pre-restyling models, the element with index F38 (15 amperes) must be replaced. In cars after restyling, fuse F33 must be changed.

When replacing, it is important to install an element of the appropriate rating (15 amperes). Otherwise, in the event of a short circuit, the cables will overheat, the insulation will melt, and there is also a danger of the wiring catching fire and the fuse will blow again.

How to remove the cigarette lighter

After purchasing tools and spare parts, you can begin the dismantling process. Removal proceeds in the following steps.

  1. We open the hood and disconnect the terminals from the battery, de-energizing the circuit. This will reduce the risk of fire or short circuit to zero.
  2. Under the climate control controls there is a trim with a cigarette lighter and transmission operating modes (see photo). We pry it up with a screwdriver and carefully release it from the eight plastic clips.
  3. Disconnect the bundle of wires.
  4. We press the two latches of the Renault Duster cigarette lighter, now you can remove it.
  5. We dismantle the metal cartridge and the filter ring.

After removal, you can repair or replace faulty parts. Installation of the device occurs in a similar way, but in reverse order.
