How to install an electric lock on the trunk of a VAZ 2115

Many car enthusiasts who independently “pump” their cars are wondering: how to properly connect the electrics? This question arises in almost any installation. After all, simply screwing on the blocks, locks and strips is not difficult, but only properly connected electricians can make the system work. If we take into account one of the most pressing problems - the installation of remote control locks for the fifth door, then the correct wiring diagram for the electric trunk lock will help us here. You can find it either in the instructions that should be included with the device, or you can take it from a reliable source, but it is better to use proven options and ask friends and acquaintances what scheme they used.

Preparation for installation

We purchase a lock kit. There are a lot of manufacturers of auto parts on the market now, but there are no special differences between the kits

It is important that the device has a warranty card and instructions for use and connection. Also in the box you will find:

Additionally, you need to stock up on a set of standard tools: pliers, screwdriver, screwdrivers, multimeter, drill with carbide drill bit. In addition to the standard accessories, immediately buy additional wires; it is quite possible that the length of those you find in the box will not be enough for you. Black heat-resistant insulating tape, corrugated tubes, and clips for fastening the trim will also be useful, since very often the trim of car elements is attached to disposable ones.

Purpose and design

The trunk lid protects the luggage compartment of the car from external negative factors. Also, this part is an important element of the body, affecting the strength and aerodynamics of the car.

The trunk lid includes:

• cover body;
• hinges;
• compaction;
• torsion bars;
• locking device;
• fasteners.

The trunk lid body is made of steel alloy by stamping. There are stiffening and reinforcement ribs on the inner surface of the part. The inner surface of the cover is subjected to anti-corrosion treatment with specialized compounds. The outside of the part is covered with a layer of automotive enamel.

Hinge hinges allow the connection of the cover and the power parts of the machine. At the same time, the design of the hinges allows the lid to be closed with the necessary gaps.

In the open position, the cover body is held in place by torsion bars. Their corner part is installed inside the hinge hinge, which allows you to create the necessary force that prevents the trunk lid from closing freely.

The seal is made of soft rubber and allows you to achieve acceptable tightness of the luggage compartment.

To prevent unauthorized entry, the lid is equipped with a locking mechanism with a lock. This device automatically locks the trunk lid when closed. Full locking is done using a key or central locking drive.

Installation instructions for the electric trunk lock

If you are lucky with the standard lock, it locks and holds the tailgate well, then there is no need to change it.

In this case, you must have with you:

• window lifter roller;
• door activator;
• steel cable;
• wires with terminals;
• relay with four contacts;
• 10 A fuse.

To automate the opening of the trunk, it is necessary to ensure that the lock latch is pulled. For this purpose, a special roller is installed on the wiper gear housing. The steel cable is pulled through the roller and secured with conventional clamps. Experienced riders often use a bicycle cable because it is durable and flexible. Using it you can quite easily connect the door activator to the lock tongue.

You can connect the entire structure to the cigarette lighter if you do not have the proper knowledge of the car's electrical circuit. You just need to connect the plus from the cigarette lighter to the button and then to the lock. The negative comes from the taillight. Or carry out the operation of the trunk lock 2114 using a special relay.

How to open the trunk of a VAZ 2115 desert

Motorists know it's too much. There is a problem with the lock breaking. This is especially true for Russian-made cars, the quality of which is not ideal in almost all respects. The worst thing about this is that the malfunction is unexpected when it is absolutely necessary .

, spare, pump, in other words, some kind of thing in the rear compartment

It is for this reason that it is important to know how to open a chest without a key if the passage breaks its lock. Every motorist will need this skill

both for everyday use and for long trips.

If the trunk is separate

Car or coupe. These are body types in which the luggage compartment is not directly connected to the cabin. What to do in this situation? To open the trunk, you need to open the rear doors of the car and try to lower the rear part of the passenger sofa (if the design of the car allows such an operation). To dismantle old foreign cars and representatives of the Russian automobile industry, you will have to bend the metal hinges welded to the body.

Now evaluate whether there is access to the luggage compartment from the cabin. Nearly half of cars are prevented from leaking into the rear compartment due to the presence of a hard shell amplifier located behind the seat back (in most cases it looks like metal strips welded together). how to open the trunk

in this case? Here's how:

• Take a flashlight and look inside the compartment. Carefully inspect the location of the lock (if the trunk is not loaded, the mechanism will be subject to close attention).
• Design a winch extension, then attach it to a long stick (piece of rebar) using the extension.
• If the car has skin, it will have to be removed. To do this, prepare an extension cord (now for a screwdriver).

open stem You can use another method. For example, find a piece of narrow wire, secure it and pass it through the lock. Primary goal. bend the latch to the side and use this method to open the compartment latch.

Another way out of the situation, in the absence of a key, is to introduce a slotted screwdriver. The tool should be moved inward, then turn it in one direction and the other, immediately trying to rotate the mechanism. It is worth knowing that this method is not suitable for new Russian cars and foreign cars. The reason is that there is a special anti-burglary protection that will not open the trunk. The result of this work is the destruction of the castle and the need to change it. For this reason, it is better to reject this option in the main component of the cases.

Self-installation

First of all, it is necessary to secure the electric drive to the trunk lid and provide it with a mechanical connection to the lock itself. To do this, you will have to make two cuts on the lock, and bend the resulting free “tongue”. Thus, we gained access directly to that part of the lock, by pulling which the trunk lid will open. Now we attach the long metal stick from the kit so that the lock can close when the system is operating. It is quite possible that you will have to cut off extra centimeters of this pin.

Now our device is installed properly and all that remains is to connect the electrics. To do this, we will use the diagram below.

Important! When working with electrical equipment, remove the battery!

In most cars, electrics operate on 12V positive voltage. However, if you doubt that everything is the same for you, it is better to check with the car dealer and not use this diagram for connection. It is very important to make the correct connection of the wires, since the proper operation of your car as a whole depends on it. At best, some options will simply not work correctly; at worst, a short circuit will occur. And it is not always possible to restore the electrics and electronics of the car after it. And this work will cost a lot of money. In addition to the above, lay wires where standard wiring is already laid. In difficult places, for example, when you have to pull the wire from the passenger compartment to the trunk, it is necessary to use protective corrugated tubes.

Electrical work

To begin with, according to the diagram, we connect all the elements located in the trunk. Now you need to tighten the wires to the driver's door. It all depends on the car model. For some it will be convenient to pull the electrics through the door sills from below, for others the option of protective strips from above is suitable. Immediately secure the wires with cable ties. If the length is not enough, take an additional wire, solder the joint with a soldering iron and rewind it with tape. Let's continue connecting. We connect the negative wire to the electric drive, and then connect the second negative wire to the main control relay. The third, also known as the last wire, needs to be connected to the alarm. To do this, you need to find the control unit; most likely, it is located under the dashboard. In it you will find free contacts for connection.

We check, find the negative one and connect. These are the last steps we need to complete. After this, we return the battery to its place and check the functionality of the system. There are cases when the lock does not have enough traction to close. In this option, it is enough to install an additional spring for the lock and the problem should be eliminated. There is one more point that we have not covered - the remote control button. Installation is very simple, and the connection method is described in the same diagram above. You can use absolutely any analogue for the button, even from power windows. And the location also depends solely on your preferences.

Chevrolet Cruze trunk button: replacement, repair. Button output to the salon

During vehicle operation, breakdowns or unforeseen incidents with the vehicle’s equipment are common. One of these unpleasant cases is the breakdown of the trunk button of a Chevrolet Cruze car.

Below in the article possible breakdowns of the unit and ways to fix it are indicated.

Reasons why the button does not work

The trunk release button on the Chevrolet Cruze model breaks due to its extremely poor location. An engineering miscalculation in the form of installing an element on the outside of the car exposes the part to constant exposure to an aggressive environment.

During operation, the digger often gets exposed to water, dirt or snow. This leads to rapid destruction of the seals. Sometimes it happens that a trip to the car wash can also lead to a breakdown.

The main reasons for node failure are the following factors:

1. Oxidation of the contact group located inside the key. As a result, the element’s response to driver manipulations deteriorates.
2. Short circuit of contact pairs. If liquid or dirt gets in, the working contacts may inadvertently close. In the future, for this reason, the unit may be triggered randomly and the trunk will open.

The basis for such problems is two questions:

• bad location;
• mediocre sealing of the unit.

Replacing the trunk release button

The replacement procedure is applied in case of failure or revision. Sometimes repairing a broken key is limited only to replacing it.

The process itself is technically simple. To do this you will need to perform the following steps:

1. Use the key to open the trunk lid.
2. Next you need to remove the fasteners from the casing. There are a total of 12 plastic elements, which are very capricious when applying force. They may break. Therefore, you need to remove the fasteners very carefully.

The protective cap of the lock is removed from the end of the trunk lid. The procedure is performed extremely carefully - the plastic is delicate and is afraid of sudden movements.

The next step is to dismantle the casing.

Next, using a “10” key, you need to unscrew the fastenings of the license plate illumination mounting plate. The same part has a button on it.

The key terminal block is carefully disconnected. Remove the rubber seal for the electrical wiring from the cover. Remove the decorative strip. The element is fastened with two plastic latches. The procedure can be easily accomplished using a very thin screwdriver or similar tool. It is recommended to exercise great care during work, as there is a possibility of damage to the paintwork at the point of contact.

Replace old elements with new ones. Some experts recommend upgrading moisture protection by applying a layer of sealant.

Assembly must be done in reverse order.

Features of the electric drive

Electric drives have only a few different parts. The most commonly used drive is an electric motor. Such a device is considered practical, durable, and reliable. Drives with magnetic plates are used much less frequently. This is a more complex device that creates more problems. Experts do not recommend installing them on VAZ cars of older models.

Particular care must be taken in selecting installed equipment and control methods. The standard type means only opening from the passenger compartment after pressing a button. To work with remote control you will have to purchase more expensive electric drives. Connecting them is quite difficult, so you will have to use the services of a car electrician.

Why central locking now?

But still, installing a central lock makes sense: primarily for ergonomic reasons. Perhaps, any car enthusiast will agree that opening car doors by pressing one button on the key fob that is in your hands is much easier than fumbling with the unruly locks of a car produced in the back streets of the domestic automaker VAZ. In fact, this is the main problem and the main motivation of the owner of the “nine” to please himself with such a modification of his car.

As a result, the central lock will not only facilitate the process of opening the doors of a car, which is famous for the fact that very low-quality locks were often installed on it. They jammed at the most inopportune moment. This device will also make it possible to open the car regardless of the season. Yes, now in winter, at a time when all Lada locks are covered with a thin but impenetrable crust of ice, you no longer have to warm them with all possible means at hand.

You will be able to forget forever about the kettle of boiling water and the “magic” spells that often accompanied the process of opening locks in the cold.

Opening the trunk with the button Lada 2114

Good afternoon The topic may be a bit of a bummer, but I’ll write it anyway (perhaps the thread will be useful to someone). I thought for a long time about what kind of trunk opening system to make, there were several options, which would be more reliable. In the end, I chose a system that, without any special modifications, turned out to be reliable (I’ve been riding for a year now without any problems). In general, I found these drawings and ordered them from a turner I know.

Main element drawing

In the end I got something like this.

Installation in a regular place without any adjustments.

I’ll take off the lock to show clearly how this system works.

this is what they look like together

The lever from below is placed with its foot under the original lock, from above we hook the rod from the solenoid and we have this result when retracting the solenoid

Side view when opening

This is what it looks like in place. Everything is ready, the connection is started according to this diagram

put the button in the car

This is how it works:

All that remains is to figure out how to make the trunk lid open on its own. As a result, I begged a friend for trunk shock absorbers from the Volt Golf 6. What we have:

In terms of warmth, this whole thing worked well, but with the advent of cold weather it stopped opening, in the end it was necessary to make a thread to push out the shock absorber, because it was missing a little bit. I carefully disassembled the shock absorbers, holding them in a vice through a glove so as not to screw up the rod; it was very difficult to unscrew.

I took it and went to the store. I picked up the springs at the VAZ store. In a nearby store I bought rubber bands (cuffs from the Japanese) to fit the rod to secure the spring.

It turned out something like this:

It looks like this. And again the trunk opens BY itself!

Haven't you seen how the doors are adjusted, and the trunk can also be adjusted?

old proven method =)

It's scary, I think this definitely won't work))

no matter what they say, the trunk lid shouldn’t stand like that, even though it’s a basin, it definitely needs to be adjusted

Yes of course, that's what I want

You're getting to the bottom of this kind of crap. The basins are all crooked!

I want to make it with my own hands)

I still need to sharpen the clubs, they are 10th sticks, these gaps are also noticeable) I will soon do this myself, or look for a ten with 12th sticks)

Adjusting the tailgate lock.

1. We unscrew the lock lock so that it can be moved with light force.
2. Now you need to close the door and look through the glass to ensure that the lock spike is opposite the latch socket.
3. After this, we move the latch all the way back and slam the door. This will ensure the lock lock is in the optimal position.
4. Open the door and tighten the bolts securing the clamp in the position in which it was installed.
5. It is also necessary to check that the door closes. If the door does not close tightly. then you need to remove the adjusting plate from under the clamp.
6. If the door closes too tightly, on the contrary, you need to add a plate under the latch.

You can make the adjustment plates yourself from tin or sheet iron.

Additional modernization of locks

If you dream of your car doors opening and closing as smoothly as in foreign cars, try installing silent locks. Such a device can be installed on any model of Zhiguli. For representatives of the retro era, such modernization is also possible, but the locks themselves will have to be filed a little. By the way, you can also put it on the trunk. In general, there is no limit to perfection.

And the installation is, in truth, very simple and transparent. It is enough to dismantle the old locks, try not to drop the necessary elements inside the door, or remove the trim in advance. And then install new analogues on two bolts. There are situations when, after installation, the door does not close tightly or warps slightly, causing cracks to form. Solving the problem is also very simple by adjusting the location of the device. In general, initially try to secure it exactly where the old one was.

Connecting an electric lock to an alarm system

It is recommended to install an electric locking device on the car yourself according to the following scheme:

1. Carefully read the installation diagram in the attached documentation. Perform marking work on the trunk lid. Prepare mounting holes.
2. Install and secure the electric lock drive to the trunk lid of the car. Fit and adjust the electric lock drive rods to the locking device. Connect the rod to the closing mechanism and secure it.
3. Disconnect the battery terminals. Lay out the electrical wiring according to the connection diagram and connect. Use a multimeter to check the correctness and reliability of the electrical connections. Connect the corresponding connectors of the car alarm control unit and the electric lock.
4. Replace the car battery terminals and secure them. Check the operation of the trunk lock, installed by yourself, for correct operation. If necessary, make adjustments and repeat the installation.

How to remove an old lock

The process of removal and replacement on hatchback (2113, 2114) and sedan (2115) cars is different, although the principle of operation is the same.

The procedure for removing the mechanism on a VAZ-2114

:

1. Remove the plastic cover. The upholstery is attached to 10 pistons, which just need to be pryed off with a screwdriver. Access to the mechanism will open.

Removing the trunk lid

1. Unscrew the 2 bolts with an “8” key. The action must be carried out carefully; on one side there are terminals responsible for the windshield wiper and brake light on the spoiler.

Unscrewing 2 bolts

1. Remove the faulty element.

If the lid does not close, adjustment is required.

Removing and replacing the trunk lock of the VAZ-2115 sedan

:

1. Remove the plastic cover by unfastening the pistons.
2. Access to the faulty part is open; the drive rod needs to be straightened. Unscrew the corresponding screw (not all the way). Remove the rod from the bushing.

Trunk lid lock drive

1. Go to the cylinder lever. Remove the mechanism rod and remove it.
2. Unscrew the 3 nuts of the product and dismantle it. Unscrew the cylinder mounting bolt and remove.
