Why does the low beam not work on the VAZ 2106?

Today we will talk about such a malfunction as the high beam not working on a VAZ-2106 car. A special feature of the headlight structure of this car is that the high and low beam lamps are located in different headlight housings, which simplifies solving the problem. High beam headlights are not vital and are used in exceptional cases, so their malfunction does not require urgent repair.

Sometimes it happens that switching to high beam causes the low beam to turn off or one of the sides to turn off completely (high and low beam at the same time). Most often this is due to acidification of the mass of one of the headlights. Also the cause may be fuses and relays, which can be easily checked.

VAZ turn signal relay - do-it-yourself diagnostics and replacement

Turn signals are perhaps a very important part of any vehicle. Carrying out maneuvers on the road becomes quite a dangerous task if the turn signals do not work.

The VAZ 2107 turn signal and hazard warning relay is responsible for the correct operation of the direction indicators. This device is used on all cars of the classic family. Let's consider why a turn signal relay is needed, how is a relay malfunction determined and how is it replaced?

Purpose of the turn signal and hazard warning relays

Everyone knows that direction indicators and hazard warning lights blink during operation.

This is necessary in order to attract the attention of other traffic participants. The flickering of lamps cannot be confused with any other signal supplied by lighting devices

A small device called a turn signal relay is responsible for this phenomenon. In addition to the blinking of the turn signals, the relay provides another function - creating the necessary sound signal (click), which indicates that the turn signals are in operation.

The Zhiguli used two types of relays, which differ both in their design and in their operating principle.

The first type is an electromagnetic type relay, which is mounted in the engine compartment of the car. The basis for the operation of the electromagnetic thermal relay is a special nichrome string, which, when heated and cooled, closes and opens the direction indicator circuit. These types of relays were used on early models of the “classic” family: VAZ 2101-2102 and VAZ 2103.
The second type of relay began to be used on VAZ 2106 and higher vehicles. It is an electronic circuit built on semiconductor circuit elements. In addition to semiconductors, the relay also includes an electromagnet, which performs the functions of closing and opening. The frequency of operation of the electromagnet (or flickering of lamps) is achieved using a “key”, or a special electronic circuit.

Diagnostics of malfunction of the direction indicator relay VAZ 2107

If one day the turn signals stopped working. It's time to check what happened and, if possible, replace the faulty part of the circuit. Malfunctions of the turn signal relay can be recognized by several signs:

The turn signals light up but do not flicker. This directly indicates a breakdown of the relay, or rather, its electromagnetic part. In this case, the electromagnet has closed in one of the positions and cannot return to its original state.
The turn signals blink too quickly or too slowly. This can happen, but not only due to the fault of the turn signal relay. Sometimes the flickering speed of lamps can change if the turn signals use lamps that are not of the same power as those specified by the manufacturer. However, it wouldn't hurt to install a new relay as a test.
The turn signals don't work at all. This means that the turn signal lamps and the lamp on the dashboard do not blink and there are no corresponding relay clicks. However, as in the second case, the malfunction does not always concern the turn signal relay. Sometimes the reason is a faulty hazard warning button.

Relay for high and low beam "six"

As already mentioned, the standard high and low beam relays of the VAZ 2106 are absolutely identical, have similar catalog numbers (90.3747-10 or 113.3747-10), are of the same type as the initiation relay for the radiator fan device of the cooling complex of the power plant and can be replaced with each other friend.

To connect the light relay to the VAZ 2106, devices with item number 113.3747 are used, which are installed in a mounting-type block device. Similar devices are installed in the system to turn on the EDC fan device, heat the stern glass and produce alarm sounds.

The initiation voltage of the device at an average temperature of about 23 °C is within 8 V, and the resistance of the device winding at a temperature of 20 °C is 85 ± 8.5 Ohms.

Detailed instructions for adjusting headlights on VAZ 2114 and 2115 cars

Instead of products under catalog number 113.3747, it is allowed to use updated high and low beam relays VAZ 2106 90.3747-11 in a plastic case and with increased dimensions. It is also allowed to replace products 113.3747-10 with a mounting bracket with gadgets with fasteners under the nomenclature value 90.3747-10 with the same characteristics.

Step-by-step replacement instructions

Russian car enthusiasts driving Zhiguli “classics” ask the question of how to connect or replace the light relay on a VAZ 2106 so that it functions without problems in the future. Similar work is carried out when replacing the “six” light relay.

Replacing the VAZ 2106 light relay is carried out in the following sequence:

Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery
Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws and remove the relay.
Installation of all removed parts is carried out in reverse order. We secure the side panel upholstery with new holders.

The left high beam headlight on the VAZ 2106 does not light, both on the low beam are on, what is the reason?

circuit breakers. may have oxidized. rotate the fuses in their sockets.

A intact fuse differs from a blown fuse by the presence of a jumper between the contacts (inside the fuse)

Is the high beam indicator light on the dash lit? So it's not a fuse. Look at the lamp and the wiring to it.

Well, it’s easy to sniff a two-ruble coin instead... But the burnt-out light bulb doesn’t ring, it’s black and you can see a break inside….

look at the wires, I had this happen, the wires melted next to the fuses

A light bulb with wiring will help you.

another car will help you

I have a VAZ 2106 and this is the reason why none of the high beams are on, but both low beams are on, what could be the reason. help me please

Low beam doesn't come on

Why isn't the low beam on? If the low beam does not light up, then the following causes of the malfunction are possible:

The low beam lamp does not light up. Our cars are equipped with double-filament halogen lamps, i.e. Both the low and high beam headlights are provided by one lamp, the different filaments of the lamp just light up. Replace the lamp with a known working one. To find out how to properly replace a lamp, see the article
The fuse has blown. The low beam fuse has blown, check the fuse and replace it. You will find answers on how to find, check and replace the fuse in the article.
The wires have oxidized. We look at the fuse block, namely the blocks of all tires to the fuse and relay block. They can become detached, poorly secured, or oxidize. Let's fix it. We also look at the wires connected to the lamp itself; the contact group of the headlight may have oxidized.
Low beam power button. The fact is that the switch (button) for the low beam or side lights may have broken. The problem is typical: the wire has come loose or oxidized.
The low beam fuse keeps blowing. This situation often occurs among owners of our brands. There may be 2 options:

there is a short wire somewhere;
again poor contact with the fuse.

If nothing helps you, then I advise you to call the wiring. If you are not comfortable with electricians, then it is better to turn to a professional.

Replacing the "six" light relay

Russian car enthusiasts driving Zhiguli “classics” ask the question of how to connect a light relay to a VAZ 2106 so that it can function without problems in the future. Similar work is carried out when replacing the “six” light relay.

The work is carried out in the following sequence:

We unscrew the fasteners and dismantle the headlight relay for subsequent replacement;
We remember the frequency of connecting electrical wiring or mark them with a marker. Remove the wiring from the device connectors;
We install the updated device in the reverse order.

We install and connect fog lights on a VAZ-2114 with our own hands (video inside)

After 30 years of production, in 2006, the last copy of the popular VAZ 2106 car rolled off the assembly line in 2006. The Six, like previous Zhiguli models, was created on the basis of Fiat; the car had a similar optics design, which was located in an updated block. Standard VAZ 2106 headlights are no longer available today; they have been replaced by alternative light sources, new light bulbs and glass.

Step-by-step replacement instructions

Replacing the VAZ 2106 light relay is carried out in the following sequence:

Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery
Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws and remove the relay.
Installation of all removed parts is carried out in reverse order. We secure the side panel upholstery with new holders.

Low beam on VAZ 2114 went out

The low beam headlights don't come on, but the high beams do? Ways to solve the problem

It’s paradoxical, but true: every third car owner encounters a situation where the low beam headlights are not on, but the high beam is on. Straightforward logic on the topic that if the optics are covered, then there should be no light at all does not work here. This also happens, for example, to many VAZ owners: on Tolyatti models, for some reason, the right headlight is susceptible to the disease described, even on almost new cars; with the left, this incident happens much less often.

However, you should not blame exclusively domestic, so much-maligned, manufacturers: optics can sooner or later start to act up on any car. And here the point is no longer about the reliability of this or that brand, but rather about the deterioration or fatigue of some parts.

The easiest way, without a doubt, is to entrust everything to the reliable hands of a trusted auto electrician, but it is not too difficult to cope with some problems on your own - if you have the smallest amount of free time and a primitive acquaintance with the basics of electrical circuits.

The low beam of the headlights does not light up, but the high beam is on - this phenomenon can be due to several reasons. And most of them are quite easy to fix. Moreover, this can happen to your car at a completely inopportune moment: on the highway, for example, when you need to switch to low beam so as not to blind oncoming drivers with headlights

Let's try to deal with all the flaws one by one, and consider: what may be the most common options for repairing and troubleshooting such an important segment as low beam

Lamp burned out

Naturally, if any light source does not turn on, the first thing that comes to mind is that the light bulb has burned out. The design of car lamps is such that the low beam may indeed be absent, but the high beam remains available. Halogen lamps have two filaments. It is quite possible for one of them to rupture - in this case, the light for which it is responsible will be absent.

To replace the bulb, the services of an auto electrician are not required. It is enough to open the hood with the ignition off, remove the protective box on both sides of the headlight, pull out the contact group, disconnect the spring clips, remove the burnt out bulb and install a new one.

A small detail: the flask should be wiped with alcohol before installation, otherwise it will instantly burn. It is also not recommended to handle the bulb with unprotected hands: there is always some greasy and damp secretions on them, which can damage the light bulb. The best way to do this (replace the lighting) is with a dry cloth or rag.

I replaced the block from GAZ with a Euro one, the left side does not light up in the far range, maybe it was connected incorrectly?

it looked like it was. I did everything without difficulty

For me, the low beam works almost like this, but as soon as you turn on the high beam, everything goes out, nothing lights up, what’s the problem? The fuses are all intact, the switch seems to be the same

solved the problems? I discovered this crap the other day.

Thanks everyone, simplest fuse replacement.

clean the left headlight masses

Either my safety light is on. or you have to go out and hit the headlights. and everything works

It was like this, the fuses are probably an old block. Or contacts.

Check the ground on the headlights and be sure to change the fuse box! This is the only thing that solved my problem.

Are your fuses blowing?

this is the eternal problem of shoh and triples, the reason lies in the fact that the distant one has 2 headlights per side and there is a standard 8 ampere, and for it this load is too large and especially if the contact is worthless it heats up and sometimes begins to melt and become as if shorter due to which there is no contact

The treatment is very simple: put ceramic pres in sockets 3 and 4 (it’s true that they are hard to find, because they don’t seem to be released anymore, ask the old people, maybe someone has them lying around from Soviet times) or put pres at a higher amperage)

I bought ceramic ones last week) there was such a problem on the right side, the fuse melted and the headlight was either shining or not)

Check the fuses or clean the contacts in the fuse block

I'll be blunt - this is a fuse. There was something similar. Shake them in place, if it doesn’t help, change them, fortunately they cost pennies

change the fuse box - it's a problem 06

What to do if the headlights blink at idle

Based on the principle of operation of electrical devices in a car, it is concluded that the light blinks at idle speed of the engine when the generator malfunctions. But this needs to be checked accurately, for which the following is done:

The engine starts and the headlights turn on. The car should run like this for up to 20 minutes.
The measuring procedure is performed using probes connected between ground and terminal “B+”.
The values that you received must be written down on a piece of paper, and then checked with the numbers indicated in the technical documentation of the vehicle.

Experts say that for most cars the normal voltage is 14-16 Volts. Even with minor deviations, there is a possibility of the voltage regulator breaking down. To solve this problem, it needs to be replaced.

Important! Following basic safety rules when checking your generator will protect you from negative consequences for your health. Therefore, it is prohibited to check by short circuit, connecting terminals “B+” and “D+”, etc.

Based on the test results, you can get the following indicators:

The voltage is below normal - a possible solution is to tighten the belt drive that goes from the motor pulley to the generator.
Voltage higher than normal usually indicates loss of generator functionality.

High beam lamp burned out

With such a malfunction, as a rule, the high beam stops working only on one headlight, where the bulb has burned out. Solving this problem is very simple; below we offer short instructions on how to replace a burnt out light bulb:

unscrew the fastening bolts of the headlight rim with the high beam not working;
turn the glass strictly clockwise and remove the headlight from the housing;
disconnect the electrical connector;
press the latch and remove the burnt out light bulb.

You can check the condition of the light bulb by visual inspection. To do this, simply look at the filament of your light bulb. If it burns out, the thread will be broken. When you identify a burnt out light bulb, you just need to take a new one and install it in place of the old light bulb. Please note that when installing a new light bulb, you should never touch the glass with your hands. All assembly work is carried out strictly in reverse order.

After completing assembly work, be sure to check the functionality of the high beam headlights.

Which lamps are suitable

Low beam headlights are the most frequently used optical element of any passenger car model. Many people use them not only at dusk, but also as daytime running lights. This is why they quickly fail. The VAZ 2106 series model is equipped with a 12-volt H4 lamp with a power consumption of 55 W. The characteristic features of such a lamp are the presence of two filaments - which determines its operation in two modes - far and near.

There are several types of lamps for low beam headlights:

The incandescent light bulb is an outdated model, burns out quickly, is characterized by low energy efficiency, and is practically not used by modern manufacturers.
Halogen. The most popular. They have a good service life and sufficient brightness and other lighting parameters for road conditions.
Xenon. They are distinguished by a good bright white glow that is 3 times stronger than that of their halogen counterparts. Disadvantages - they require additional installation of an ignition unit, and can also blind oncoming road users.
LEDs. They have the best characteristics - durability up to 100 thousand hours, high brightness, low energy consumption, no overheating. However, they are expensive and require a special reflector design for full operation.

Advice! When replacing standard installed lamps in low beam headlights on a VAZ 2106, it is better to choose trusted manufacturers. For example, it could be the proven Russian brand Mayak.

Fuse box

The fuse box in Grant is located to the left of the steering column, near the light switches. To remove the cover and access the fuses and relays, pull the top left side of the cover towards you. It’s made conveniently, everything is at hand and you don’t have to climb anywhere when getting up from the driver’s seat. Maybe this is a hint that they will often have to be changed, or maybe just convenience - the developers know better.

F1 (15 A) - engine control unit, injectors, ignition coil, cooling fan relay, short circuit 2x2.

If you have problems with electronics, and replacing this fuse does not help, in the worst case scenario, you will have to reflash the ECU or replace it. Also, if this fuse blows, the injectors and ignition coil stop working, which makes engine operation impossible. Therefore, if the Grant does not start, check this fuse first.

F2 (30 A) - electric windows.

If they do not work and replacing the fuse does not help, try unplugging it completely or removing the terminal from the battery for a couple of minutes, then connect it again. In this way, all temporary errors should be reset and if this is the case, the power windows will work again.

F3 (15 A) - alarm. If it doesn’t work, check this fuse, as well as the emergency light button, its contacts and the functionality of the lamps.

F4 (20 A) - windshield wiper, airbag. If the airbag warning light on the instrument panel comes on, check this fuse. The problem could be either in it, or in the electronic unit, or in the pillows themselves.

If the windshield wiper does not work and this fuse is intact, also check relay K6, the power handle, the reliability of the connectors connected to it, as well as the electric wiper drive itself.

F5 (7.5 A) - terminal 15 of the ignition switch. If you have problems turning on the ignition, check this fuse, as well as the reliability of the wire connections to the lock terminals.

F6 (7.5 A) - reverse lamp. If it does not work, but this fuse is intact, check the lamp itself, as well as the contacts connecting the connectors to the headlight.

F7 (7.5 A) - Mass air flow sensor, adsorber valve, oxygen sensor, speed sensor. If the engine runs erratically, does not idle, or stalls spontaneously, the problem may be this fuse or the corresponding sensor. We already had an article on how to check the mass air flow sensor.

F8 (30 A) - heated rear window. If it does not work, check this fuse, the terminals connecting the wires to the heater, and the integrity of its elements.

F9 (5 A) - right side lamps

F10 (5 A) - left side lamps. If the dimensions do not light up, the problem may be in these fuses or in the lamps themselves, as well as their connectors. It wouldn't hurt to check the headlight switch on the dashboard.

F11 (5 A) - rear fog lights. If they do not work, but this fuse is intact, the problem may be in the switch on the dashboard or in the lamps themselves, as well as their connectors

F12 (7.5 A) - right low beam lamp F13 (7.5 A) - left low beam lamp. If the low beam does not work in two headlights at the same time, the problem may be in the K9 relay, or in the low beam switch and its contacts. If only one lamp does not light, it is most likely the fuse or the lamp itself that needs to be replaced.

F14 (10 A) - right high beam lamp F15 (10 A) - left high beam lamp. If both high beam headlights do not work, the problem may be in relay K7. If there is only one, replace the fuse and/or lamp.

Lighting repair

Possible causes of malfunction

So, if the low beam on a VAZ 2106 in one of the headlights has disappeared, then, as mentioned above, most likely the light bulb has burned out.

If replacing the lamp does not produce results, then the following malfunctions may occur:

The contacts in the block are oxidized or burnt;
The fuse has blown;
The relay has failed;
The switch is faulty;
There is a break in the circuit.

Below we will take a closer look at how to diagnose and fix the problem.

Replacing a light bulb

First of all, it should be said that the low beam lamp on the VAZ 2106 complies with the H4 standard, i.e. it has two threads, which allows the headlight to operate in two modes. Currently, such light bulbs are produced by different companies, both well-known brands and little-known companies.

It should be noted that domestic light bulbs are very popular among car owners. Their price is significantly lower than their imported counterparts, but at the same time they are not inferior in quality.

Advice! It is advisable to change the bulbs in two headlights at the same time, since their service life is approximately the same. In addition, different lamp models may differ in glow.

Instructions for doing this work look like this:

First of all, you need to use a flat-head screwdriver to dismantle the plastic panel that frames the headlights.

Then use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the clamps that hold the headlight.
Next, you need to slightly turn the metal hoop and dismantle it.

Now you can pull out the headlight with your own hands and disconnect it from the block

At this stage, you need to pay attention to the connector contacts. If necessary, they need to be cleaned. Then you need to unfasten the lock and remove the light bulb. Next, the work is performed in the reverse order - a new lamp is installed, which is pressed with a clamp, and the block is connected to the contacts

The headlight assembly must be installed in place and secured with a hoop. To complete the work, a plastic panel is inserted, on which you need to press lightly until you hear a characteristic click.

Note! When replacing a lamp, do not touch its glass bulb with your fingers, otherwise it may quickly burn out. If you do touch glass, you should wipe the surface with a cotton swab soaked in alcohol.

This completes the process of replacing the light bulb.

Replacing fuses

If after replacing the light bulb the low beam headlight on 2106 still does not light, you should check the fuses. They are located under the instrument panel.

In this case, you need to pay attention to two fuses:

No. 5 – protects the left headlight from short circuit;
No. 6 – protects the right headlight.

It must be said that the low beam on the VAZ 2106 often does not work due to the fuse contacts being bent or oxidized. In this case, they need to be bent and cleaned. If the protective element has melted, it must be replaced.

Note! The contacts in the fuse box cannot be closed directly, since the protective element could burn out due to the failure of electrical equipment; accordingly, this could lead to more serious damage or even a fire in the VAZ wiring

Troubleshooting other problems

If the low beam on a VAZ 2106 does not light up, then to detect a malfunction you will need a multimeter to test the wiring, or at least a test light. The circuit and equipment should be checked according to the diagram below.

It must be said that the high and low beam relays on the VAZ 2106, which are indicated in the diagram as numbers 6 and 4, often fail.

Therefore, you can start checking with them.

Note! The relay for turning on the low beam headlights for the VAZ 2106 is interchangeable with the high beam relay, since these devices are of the same type

If there is no voltage supplied to the relays and fuses, you should check the wiring section from switch No. 5 to terminal No. 86 on the relay, as well as the section from the switch to the external lighting switch No. 8. If the machine's wiring is normal, then the switch has failed.
If voltage is supplied to the fuses, then an open circuit must be looked for in the area from the block to the headlights. Often the breakdown is due to poor ground contact. In this case, you just need to clean the contact.

These, in fact, are all the reasons why external lighting may not work on the “six”.

Advice! Many car owners are interested in how to improve the low beam on a VAZ 2106, which few people are happy with? The problem can be solved quite simply - connect low beam lighting in the second headlight. The fact is that this device also has a double-filament lamp, however, the third contact is not connected to the circuit.

Low beam does not work: reasons

So, proper lighting of the road while the car is moving is a very important factor that ensures the safety of the driver, his passengers and other road users.

While driving a vehicle, the driver needs to clearly see the road along which the car is moving.

High/low beam headlights are very important because they provide good visibility both at night and in cloudy weather conditions. Today there are several types of car headlights, which can be divided into the following categories:

Main headlights using halogen, xenon, high-intensity discharge lamps, diodes, etc.;
Fog lights - the main purpose is additional illumination of the road while driving in thick fog (most often, the manufacturer already supplies cars with a set of fog lights);
Spotlight headlights - powerful headlights provide the driver with good visibility, especially when driving on unfamiliar roads (headlights are not intended for city driving, as they can blind other drivers);

At the same time, for low and high beams, as well as for fog lights, halogen lamps are most often used, designated by the type of base as R2, H1, H3, H4, H7, HB3, HB4.

As for the problem itself, if the low beam does not work, the reasons may be different. It is important that the cause of the malfunction of the low beam or high beam headlights is accurately determined. Here are some of the main reasons why the low beams do not light up:

low beam lamps have burned out;
the fuse threads have melted (since basically the power circuits of the left and right headlights are not interconnected and are protected by separate fuses, a failed one of the fuse elements can lead to the failure of one headlight), the malfunction is diagnosed visually. In case of difficult access to the mounting block, check the operation of devices receiving power from circuits protected by the same fuses;
faulty headlight relay (lighting systems stop working, there is either low or high beam). The malfunction can be detected by ear, by turning on the headlights and listening to the sounds that arise; if short, loud clicks are heard, the relay is working properly; if there are no clicks, the relay is faulty;
The connectors of the electrical wires going to the headlights are not connected correctly or are not connected at all (for example, they forgot to connect them after repairs). In this case, only one of the two headlights does not light up.
water entering the engine compartment of the car (oxidation of the “chips” at the junctions of the wires, as a result of which the “chips” cease to perform a conductive function). Diagnose the malfunction by checking all the named wires and connections suitable for the headlights;
voltage surge in the on-board network (both lamps burn out at the same time);
other non-standard reasons (for example, a crack in the headlight through which water gets in and moisture condenses).

Please note that if a malfunction is not identified, additional diagnostics of the electrical wiring are carried out using the procedure of “testing” the electrical circuits of the car with a multimeter. By the way, to quickly determine the cause, you need to make sure that there is power at the terminals. Of course, the lack of current at the terminals supplying the low beam headlight bulbs will result in no low beam

Of course, the lack of current at the terminals supplying the low beam headlight bulbs will result in no low beam.

By the way, to quickly determine the cause, you need to make sure that there is power at the terminals. Of course, the lack of current at the terminals supplying the low beam headlight bulbs will result in no low beam.

To diagnose such a malfunction, you must do the following:

insert a working lamp into the socket and “strike” the plus wire against the minus wire;
a spark jumping between the wires or the lamp turning on indicates the presence of current in the network and, accordingly, indicates a malfunction in the headlights or lamps themselves;
if there is no spark or the lamp does not light up, there is a break in the headlight power supply.

Please note that this method of checking is only suitable for simple cars where the ECM system is not complex. In turn, an attempt to short-circuit the plus and minus wires on many modern cars can lead to serious failures, errors in the ECU memory, etc.

The high beam on the VAZ 2106 does not work. The high beam does not light up - we are looking for reasons

Some owners of VAZ-2106 cars have encountered such an unpleasant problem as non-working high beams. This problem, although not critical and allows you to use the car almost without problems, still needs to be eliminated. We will talk about the reasons for this malfunction and how to eliminate it in our article.

The peculiarity of the structure of the headlights of the VAZ-2106 is that the low and high beam lamps are located in different headlight housings, which greatly simplifies the search and solution of the problem.

One of the main reasons for this malfunction is considered to be problems with relays and fuses. In addition, sometimes situations arise when, when switching to high beam, your low beam is completely turned off or the headlights on one side (low and high) go out. This problem in most cases occurs due to oxidation of the ground contact on some headlight.

Problem with fuses, switches and relays

If you notice that your high beam has completely disappeared, then the problem is unlikely to be incandescent lamps. Such simultaneous failure of both lamps is practically impossible and can only occur if the voltage relay regulator on the generator breaks down, but in this case the problem would affect not only the headlights, but also all automotive electrical equipment.

First of all, we advise you to start your search with fuses - look in the instruction manual for information on fuses, namely the exact location of the fuses responsible for the operation of the high-beam lamps. Take them out and check their condition, they may have burned out. The next step is to check the condition of the steering column switch. Note that this problem is quite common in VAZ cars. If the switch and fuses are good, all you have to do is check the status of the high beam relay. You will need a multimeter for this test.

High beam lamp burned out

unscrew the fastening bolts of the headlight rim with the high beam not working;
turn the glass strictly clockwise and remove the headlight from the housing;
disconnect the electrical connector;
press the latch and remove the burnt out light bulb.

Problem with fuses, switches and relays

If you notice that your high beam has completely disappeared, then the problem is unlikely to be incandescent lamps. Such simultaneous failure of both lamps is practically impossible and can only occur if the voltage regulator relay on the generator breaks down, but in this case the problem would affect not only the lamp

Look: 1 - terminal under the ignition switch. I had a bad contact there and as a result the terminals burned and the casing melted. 2 - All connections to the mounting block, especially loaded (thick wires are mostly pink). I had a very similar situation. While there are few consumers, everything is fine, but no matter how many things you turn on, the terminal overheats and the voltage drops, though not everywhere, but in some circuits.

1. Disconnected and connected the connector under the lock - if we are talking about it. Did not help. 2. I see. When the light went out, I touched the battery terminals - they were absolutely normal, no overheating. There was no smell of anything burnt either. There are no bells and whistles (additional consumers), everything is standard. What happens during these five minutes while it stands is unclear. When everything works, there are no signs of a wiring fault - everything flashes, lights up, lights up, lights up, etc.

And the tension disappears everywhere for me

if the car is absolutely dead from an electrical point of view, it can only be something with two wires coming from the battery - minus to ground and plus.

Well, there would be a lack of contact in the block, “why turned green”, etc. (see above) - this should also appear when the engine is running, the wiring is still there

Even if something is wrong, at least something should be on, well, brake lights, a beep on the steering wheel - or I’m wrong.

Removing and installing headlights on a VAZ 2106

First you need to get rid of the spring, which can be removed quite simply with pliers:

Then unscrew all the remaining bolts securing the headlight housing and remove the rim:

Now we unscrew a few more screws that were under the VAZ 2106 headlight ring:

Next, we take out the case and pull out the wires from it, after squeezing out the sealing rubber from the inside:

Troubleshooting and repair.

1. Check and replace the light bulb. You can check the light bulb; a) visually (see the burnt out thread) b) with a device (for lack of resistance) c) replacing it with a known good one.

Advice: - when replacing a light bulb, you should not touch the glass with your hands, this will reduce the life of the lamp to 1 day (oil from your hands getting on the glass leads to an increase in temperature and, as a result, the lamp burns out on the first day) If you touch it with your hands, just wipe the lamp with alcohol , that is, degrease. — use lamps recommended by the manufacturer.

2. Find and replace the fuse. The high beam fuse in all cars is designated as in Fig. 2

Rice. 2 Or the inscription in English: fuse beam Tip: Always when replacing or checking fuses, use the pliers that are located in the fuse box and look like this:

When searching for a fuse box, use the instruction manual; it will indicate the location of the box, the designation and rating of the fuses.

3. Search and check the high beam relay. Finding the high beam relay is similar to finding a fuse: -take the operating instructions and look for the relay block. - we look for the designation or marking of the high beam relay (or beam relay) - we check or change it to a known working one.

Tip: To replace, you can use the low beam relay (on 99% of cars they are interchangeable).

If there is not a separate relay, but a light control unit, then the entire unit must be replaced.

4. Steering light switch. This is where I advise you to go straight to the service station (or study the manufacturer’s manuals for a long time and carefully). The fact is that checking or replacing the switch on some cars with an airbag is associated with a risk to life and health (the airbag is triggered abnormally, the face is usually at the level of the steering wheel, you can imagine the effect, especially since there have already been cases).

5. Checking the mass. This applies primarily to old machines with a long service life. We take the connector from the headlight and use the device to measure the resistance to ground (usually a brown or black wire), it should not exceed 3-5 Ohms, if we look for the ground attachment point according to the diagram and clean it or use a paint sprayer.

6. The cause of electrical wiring malfunction may be: - wear (break); — oxidation (poor contact); — abnormal intervention of “crooked hands” (“specialists” in installing alarms, fog lights, car radios and other “special extras”). Finding faulty wiring, as a rule, is associated with the availability of manuals for a given car, which may not be freely available. Therefore, if you are not confident in your abilities, I strongly recommend turning to specialists (it will be cheaper). That's all. Good luck on the roads!

Conclusion

The Zhiguli 2106 car has a fairly simple electrical circuit, so it is not difficult to find and fix headlight faults. To do this, you just need to adhere to the recommendations outlined above, and also be able to handle a device such as a multimeter.

You can find additional useful information on the topic discussed in the video in this article.

If your high beam has completely disappeared, then it is unlikely that the problem is incandescent lamps - the simultaneous failure of two lamps is only possible if the generator voltage relay-regulator is faulty, which will most likely affect not only the headlights.

First, check the fuses - find the fuses corresponding to the high beam lamps in the owner's manual, remove them and make sure that they have not blown.

The next step will be to check the functionality of the steering column switch - this malfunction occurs quite often on rear-wheel drive VAZ cars.
