How to connect the cigarette lighter to a VAZ 2107

The car device has rich functionality. In addition to its usual task, you can connect the following to the VAZ 2107 cigarette lighter socket:

charger for a phone, tablet or other electronic device;
compressor for inflating wheels;
navigation complex;
DVR.

It turns out that even non-smoking car owners use the cigarette lighter. If it stops working, it can cause significant inconvenience. Read the article about the reasons for the failure and how to properly change the device on a VAZ 2022 with your own hands.

Design and purpose of the VAZ 2107 cigarette lighter

In recent years, the functions of the cigarette lighter have expanded significantly. Therefore, the owner of 2107 must know the algorithm for diagnosing its malfunction and repairing it.

Main functions and operating principle of the cigarette lighter

The cigarette lighter of a modern car is a multifunctional device. In addition to its intended use, the following can be connected to its socket:

phone, smartphone or tablet for charging;
DVR;
navigator;
fan;
compressor for inflating tires.

The cigarette lighter consists of a socket (socket) and a head (cartridge).

The cartridge is a metal body with a plastic handle in the form of a button. There is a metal rod in the center of the socket that acts as a positive contact. The negative contact in the cigarette lighter is the housing. To prevent short circuits, the body and the rod are separated from each other by a layer of insulator. The contacts are connected by a nichrome spiral, which is a heating element and is located inside the cartridge. When current is applied to the coil, it heats up to a high temperature. When the temperature reaches a certain value, the thermal relay is triggered and the current supply is stopped.

The cigarette lighter is located on the instrument panel in a convenient place for the driver. The nest is made in the form of an oblong metal body, which acts as a mass. The central contact is connected to the battery positive. In addition, a backlight lamp is built into the cigarette lighter housing, which turns on together with the external lighting.

To turn on the heating mode, you need to press on the cartridge and lock it in the pressed state. The cartridge is held in place by bimetallic plates. When pressed, the positive and negative contacts of the cartridge are connected to the corresponding contacts of the socket. As a result, the coil begins to heat up, continuing for 15–20 seconds until the desired temperature is reached. After this, the bimetallic plates diverge, releasing the cartridge, which, due to the internal spring, returns to its original position.

Causes of malfunctions of the VAZ 2107 cigarette lighter

The cigarette lighter of the VAZ 2107 quite often fails. This happens for various reasons.

Fuse blown

If the cigarette lighter is used as a power outlet to operate multiple high-power devices through a power strip, the cigarette lighter fuse, rated for a maximum current of 10 A, may blow. Due to the peculiarities of the VAZ 2107 electrical connection diagram, the clock and radio will stop working along with the cigarette lighter.

Unreliable contact

Sometimes the cigarette lighter contacts or connectors become oxidized and the device stops working. In such a situation, they must be cleaned by first disconnecting the negative terminal from the battery. The latter will eliminate the possibility of a short circuit. In addition, often the connector of the device connected to the cigarette lighter does not fit into the socket tightly enough. Such unreliable contact can lead to short circuits, melting of contacts and failure of the cigarette lighter. The contacts may also melt when installing a fuse of a higher rating (for example, 15 A). In such cases, you can try to clean and resolder the contacts. If this does not lead to a positive result, the cigarette lighter will need to be replaced with a new one. The cost of a new device for the VAZ 2107 is about 150 rubles.

Burnt out filament element

Sometimes the cigarette lighter coil burns out. In this case, the device is replaced with a new one.

Broken electrical wiring

The cigarette lighter may stop working due to pinching or chafing of the wires, followed by broken contacts. You can diagnose this situation using a multimeter by testing the wiring of the cigarette lighter connection circuit.

After finding the damaged section of the wiring, it is replaced with a new one. Particular attention should be paid to the integrity of the wire insulation - this will reduce the likelihood of a short circuit and fire to a minimum.

The black wire is responsible for connecting the ground.

In addition to the cigarette lighter itself, its connection diagram includes a fuse marked F6 installed in the mounting block.

↑ New ways to use the cigarette lighter

With the advent of modern technologies, the functionality of such a simple thing as a cigarette lighter has changed and become much more diverse than usual. Now it is increasingly being used as a socket for a variety of electrical devices. However, you can only use those devices that do not require more than 12V for power. Therefore, developers began to produce a wide range of such devices for the car. In addition to the above, these include:

heater;
seat heating;
devices for interior lighting and so on.

Such special devices provide an input for connecting to the cigarette lighter. There are also splitters on sale that can be used to connect several devices at the same time.

Choosing a cigarette lighter for VAZ 2107

VAZ 2107 owners sometimes change the standard cigarette lighter. Reasons for replacement are:

constantly unscrewing fastening nut;
desire to install a more attractive device;
inability to connect several devices at the same time.

Most often they install a cigarette lighter from a VAZ 2114/15 - the so-called Euro-cigarette lighter, which is slightly shorter than the standard one. Installing it on a VAZ 2107 is quite simple. After dismantling the standard cigarette lighter, you will only need to slightly enlarge the hole in which it was fixed.

You can use sandpaper or a round file to widen the hole.

The device is installed in the following order:

LED is installed.
The cigarette lighter socket is fixed.
Electrical wiring is connected.

Features of the procedure when replacing a short European cigarette lighter

One of the problems with the classic device is weak contacts. When driving on broken roads, the seats become loose, as a result of which the retaining ring can fly off, which can lead to a short circuit. Therefore, many owners decide to buy a short Euro cigarette lighter, also suitable for the VAZ 2107.

Its installation is carried out according to the diagram.

The disassembly procedure is similar to the previous procedures.
The diameter of the Euro cigarette lighter socket is slightly larger. Therefore, you should bore the old hole with a file to a suitable size.
Install the green part of the backlight.
We mount the landing socket.
You need to buy a standard three-pin connector at the store. The yellow wire is soldered to the yellow, the center green to the red, and the blue to the negative black.
Next, all that remains is to assemble the device according to the reverse diagram of disassembly and check its serviceability.

The cigarette lighter does not work on the VAZ 2107

Sometimes it happens that after an unsuccessfully pulled out cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2107, the entire central insert follows it, then - puff! – a spark flickers with a crackle, and that’s it. The cigarette lighter doesn't work.

The non-smoking driver doesn’t seem to have much trouble, God bless him, the repairs can wait. But the catch is that, due to the peculiarities of the cigarette lighter connection circuit on the VAZ 2107, the car radio (or radio), as well as the car clock along with its backlight, fails and does not work.

With the advent of the third millennium, the problems became even greater: a cell phone charger is connected to this socket, a DVR, a mini-TV and even a small refrigerator are powered. All this is absolutely not scary, but some lazy car enthusiasts have stopped carrying a hand or foot pump with them, and use exclusively an electric one, from the same source. This is where problems begin on the highway, in case of a puncture. You need to vote “to ask for a pump.”

What comes to mind is replacing the cigarette lighter in your favorite VAZ 2107, or, in extreme cases, repairing it. But let's first figure it out and see what the cigarette lighter connection diagram is.

Electrical diagram for connecting the cigarette lighter of a VAZ 2107 car

There are slight differences depending on which model of center console is installed in the car.

If a replacement has been made and you have a “five console”, the connection diagram is as follows:

The color of the food is blue-red, paired, while the color of the minus “mass” is paired, black and white. The ground is fixed near the ignition relay. One branch powers the light in the glove compartment.

Native console (central) VAZ 2107, the connection principle is as follows:

“Ground” is black, the wires going to the lighting are white, there are two of them. The circuit provides that one wire illuminates the panel.

The power supply wire is blue and red, paired, one part fits and powers the on-board clock.

It is also important to know that in addition to wires, the circuit contains:

The cigarette lighter itself;
A 10 ampere fuse marked F 6, which is located in the mounting block.

What to do

The cigarette lighter is not directly responsible for the operation of any component of the car, but its operation negatively affects the comfort of the driver and passengers of the car. If the device is damaged, it must be repaired or replaced.

Where is the fuse for the cigarette lighter?

The VAZ-2107 cigarette lighter fuse is located in the fuse and relay mounting block. In VAZ cars this block is located in the engine compartment on the passenger side. To gain access to the fuse, you must remove the transparent plastic cover of the mounting block. The cigarette lighter fuse is marked F 6 and is rated for a current of 10 amperes.

How to disassemble the cigarette lighter

The socket and removable cartridge are inexpensive parts that can easily be found at any auto store. If they stop working, it is impractical to repair them; a complete replacement is performed. To do this, disconnect the ground bus from the battery and disassemble the socket fixed on the front panel of the VAZ-2106, performing the following procedure:

remove the heater cartridge from the socket;
we pick up the panel on which the clock and cigarette lighter are located and drag it with a flat-head screwdriver until the latches click;
carefully remove the dashboard; there may be short wires behind it;
remove the dashboard connection terminals;
unscrew the locking nut;
remove the outer casing along with the backlight;
remove the internal cigarette lighter socket.

Connection diagram for cigarette lighter VAZ-2107, 2106, 2108, 2104

The VAZ-2107 cigarette lighter must be connected in accordance with the diagram of an identical model - 2104:

black wire - ground;
red - goes through the fuse to the battery positive;
yellow - included in the instrument panel lighting circuit.

Replacement

If the standard device for some reason does not satisfy the car owner, the cigarette lighter is replaced with a device of a more attractive appearance - a European standard cigarette lighter. This procedure is much easier to carry out than installing an injector on a VAZ-2108. Installation of a European cigarette lighter requires the need to widen the standard hole with a file or sandpaper: the modern device has a slightly larger diameter.

Which to choose

The socket for connecting external devices is a simple and unpretentious device. Its breakdowns are extremely rare and repair work is easy to carry out on your own. When making a purchase, you need to pay attention to the integrity of the wires and the quality of the threaded connections.

If for some reason the cigarette lighter stops working, the car owner believes that the color of its backlight does not match the design of the instrument panel, or there are simply not enough sockets for the simultaneous operation of all necessary devices, the device can be replaced with a splitter with several standard sockets.

Causes of malfunction

It often happens that the VAZ 2107 cigarette lighter socket is a socket, as described above. The calculation scheme is simple: by multiplying the maximum current for which the fuse is designed (10 A) by the voltage of the on-board circuit (voltage 12 V), we get 120 W. If this is not just a socket, but a splitter, you need to remember this. The fuse will burn like a match (at best), and repairs will become commonplace. A load of no more than 100 W works well.

Sometimes the contacts of the cigarette lighter itself or its connector become oxidized. Then they are cleaned, having first reset the ground to avoid a short circuit. Replacement is not necessary at all; anyone can do the repair themselves.

The next possible failure is that many additional devices do not fit tightly into the cigarette lighter socket, contact with the walls is poor, a “chatter” begins, and a short circuit occurs. After this, the contacts melt and the cigarette lighter does not work. If the contacts are melted, repairs can be made by cleaning and re-soldering them, or replacement is required. In this case, large peak loads occur on the fuse.

Finally, sometimes the coil on the cigarette lighter itself may simply burn out. In this case, you just need to replace the head with a new one. If you can’t find a spare part, you can carry out a simple repair - clean the cigarette lighter coil from soot and carbon deposits.

How to replace fuses

It is important to know that you cannot install a thick wire instead of a blown fuse; this can cause a fire in the wiring, or even the car as a whole.

Such a need may arise when the fuse link burns out due to overloads or short circuits in the circuits. The old modification blocks have cylindrical protective elements. Place them in one row in order from left to right. The burnt-out element is carefully removed from the spring-loaded holders, but this should be done carefully.

The fuse and holders may become very hot. Before installing a working fuse link, you should make sure that there are no short circuits in the protected circuits. Otherwise, the protection will burn out very often. You should also lightly tighten the spring contacts; if there are traces of oxidation on them, they need to be removed.

New fuse blocks are equipped with blade protective elements, which are not so easy to remove. For this purpose, there are special tweezers inside the case. If this does not help to remove the faulty fuse link, you can use small pliers.

Replacing the cigarette lighter VAZ 2107

Very often, owners of domestic cars, in particular the VAZ 2107, are faced with the problem of a malfunctioning cigarette lighter. For non-smoking drivers, a faulty mechanism does not play a big role, but when this element has to be used almost every hour, the problem should be solved quickly. After the cigarette lighter fails, you may also find that the radio does not function either.

Considering the fact that the car socket, in which the cigarette lighter is located according to the standard, is also used for other purposes:

phone charging connection;
turning on the recorder;
fan connection;
turning on the electric compressor to inflate the tires.

Today, the popularity of this socket is quite high, which even applies to domestic VAZ 2107 cars. In this material we will pay attention to the question of what is replacing the VAZ 2107 cigarette lighter, what is required to complete this procedure.

Causes of device malfunction

The cigarette lighter may need to be replaced if the product stops functioning. The reasons for mechanism failure are the following factors:

The socket fuse has blown. Occurs in frequent cases if the outlet is used to connect several devices as a splitter. After all, a 10-amp fuse is not designed for large current overloads, so in frequent cases it fails. In order to repair the cigarette lighter, you simply need to replace the fuse with a new one.
Oxidation of device contacts. To carry out repairs, you will need to remove the mechanism and clean the contacts.
Closing the contacts of the product. Contact melting occurs when inept owners replace a 10A fuse with a 15A one. As a result, this leads to the wiring in the car “burning” or the contacts melting. To fix the problem, you need to remove the device and make repairs based on the breakdown.
Faulty filament coil. In order to repair the product, it is necessary to replace the head with a new one. The cost of the product does not exceed 150 rubles.

If the product is used frequently, it may fail. According to the instructions, the cigarette lighter head should snap out when you press it after 10-20 seconds. Over time, this period of time increases, and at one point the product stops functioning altogether. Let’s find out in more detail what the connection diagram for the cigarette lighter on a VAZ “classic” is.

Cigarette lighter electrical circuit

The cigarette lighter socket of the “seven”, like any other inexpensive car, has the following connection diagram:

“Power” is a red wire, one part of which powers the clock in the car.
The yellow wire is the power supply for the backlight.
“Ground” is a black wire.

The fuse, which is responsible for protecting the product, is located in the mounting block at number 6. In modern cars, power to the cigarette lighter usually comes not directly from the battery, but through the ignition switch. As a result, power is not supplied until the ignition key is turned. This is done in order to preserve battery charge during long periods of parking.

Let's find out how to change the cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2107, and what the procedure is.

Features of device replacement

Self-replacement of the mechanism is carried out as follows:

First you need to remove the negative terminal from the battery. After this, dismantle the panel with the clock.
Using pliers you need to tighten the metal rim on the cigarette lighter.
Now you can dismantle the product.
After removing the socket, it is necessary to inspect it and, if necessary, replace it.
To replace a product, you need to switch the power wires to the new device, and then install it in place in the reverse order of removal.

It is important to know! If the new socket from the “Euro-cigarette lighter” is not suitable in diameter for installation in the panel, then you can increase the diameter using a knife.

After this procedure is completed, you can connect the negative terminal to the battery and turn on the product. After 15 seconds, the head should snap off, which indicates that the product is working properly. After making sure that the product is functioning, you can check the serviceability of the old head. If the old head does not snap off, then it cannot be repaired. Despite the fact that the product in question is not fancy, it requires periodic maintenance. In frequent cases, the fuse simply fails, so you should always have a couple of new products in stock.

Replacing the fog light fuse

If the fog lights stop lighting, you should check the fuse installed in the passenger compartment. To replace it you need a screwdriver. The replacement procedure is as follows:

remove two switches from the console (the place where the radio is installed) using a flat-head screwdriver;
use a screwdriver to press out the two latches and pull out the plastic insert from the console;
pull out the fog light fuse housing;
open the case and replace the fuse;
Replace the insert and switches.
