The central interior light of the VAZ 2114 is flashing

Dear friends! Today we will tell you how to improve the interior lighting in VAZ-2115, 2114 and 2113 on a budget and with high quality. To do this, we will need an LED lamp to replace the standard interior lighting lamp, a screwdriver and a little patience. We recommend carrying out all work on the car’s electrical circuits with the battery terminals disconnected, but we leave it at your discretion. So, here we go:

We go to the market and buy a lamp with 5 LEDs, instead of the standard one, it looks like this:

Then we take a flat screwdriver and carefully remove the ceiling light of our Samara:

When we took it out, we see that the lamp socket is held on by two latches, it looks like this:

We pry them off with a screwdriver:

And take out the socket with the standard lighting lamp:

Instead of a standard lamp, we install a previously purchased LED:

This is what it looks like in its new location:

And this is how it shines:

The lighting in the cabin is immediately transformed! Now in the dark, with the lights on, absolutely everything in the cabin is visible. It is also worth noting that LED lamps consume several times less energy from the battery. If you have questions, we will be glad to see you in the VAZ-2114 Tuning on our forum!

Idea and photo by Sam-Fisher from the drive.

Hello, today we will show you how to replace the lamp in the interior lamp on a VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115. If your interior lamp does not light, then first, and if that does not help, then replace the lamp with a new one. Also now many people install LED lamps or even LED boards, since they shine brighter and consume less energy.

Replacing the backlight


In analysis
To improve the quality of your dashboard lighting, it is advisable to install new LEDs in place of the old ones. They provide excellent illumination, consume minimal energy, and guarantee a high level of data reading.

  1. Buy a set of LED lamps, having previously calculated the number of devices needed for each sensor.
  2. After removing the block, install the resistors and lamps in specially designated places on the VAZ 2114 - in the sockets. To dismantle the cartridges, they are carefully unscrewed counterclockwise. New sockets are installed in their place and light bulbs are inserted. Respect the polarity and position the LED heads. They will have to be carefully ground off.
  3. Connect the power and check how the new backlight works.
  4. Reassemble step by step. Be sure to route the wiring to the board and carefully secure it to it. This way, the backlight components will not interfere with the reassembly process.
  5. Make sure the instrument panel arrows are positioned correctly. When trying to quickly complete a job, they often become deformed and bent.
  6. The backlight structure is fixed with screws.
  7. The power for the LEDs is connected to the power supply for the light bulbs, the arrows are put on and set to zero.
  8. Using the on-board computer, check the operation of each sensor and device. If the IDs are functioning correctly, return the instrument panel to its original condition. That is, assemble the entire assembly.

Why the light in the cabin does not light (main reasons)

Car interior lighting is part of the electrical system, and therefore, in any case, it is worth looking for the problem in this part of the car. Of course, it is recommended to study, at least superficially, technical electrical diagrams in order to be at least a little up to date.

So, what do you need? A detailed diagram of the car's electrical components, a little ingenuity and a minimal set of tools. Let's look at places where the problem may be hiding:

  • Bulb.
  • Ceiling lamp.
  • Fuse.
  • Wiring.

We fix the lights and get acquainted with electrics

Since the main fault locations have been identified, you can safely move directly to methods for solving the problem. It is worth noting that with automotive electrics, not everything is so simple, but since this is a VAZ-2114, everything can be said very clearly here. Let's move on to methods for solving the problem.

Bulb

The first thing you need to check is the lighting lamp, since its burnout can cause the light to go out in the car interior.

In order to get it out you will have to remove the lamp cover. After this, you need to check whether there is a filament, and insert the lamp into the control device or simply connect it to the battery. If the lamp lights up, then it is not the cause of the malfunction.

Ceiling lamp

More than once, the cause of the malfunction was the lamp itself, where the contact group simply melted and closed, which caused a burnout or a blown fuse.

To diagnose it, you will need to remove it from the car and visually inspect it. It is also recommended to ring the contacts going from the lamp to the wiring.

Fuse and relay for VAZ-2114

The next reason is a blown interior lighting fuse. This part can burn out due to a short circuit, which for various reasons occurs in the on-board circuit. Often the short circuit is caused by a malfunction of the lampshade.

Wiring

Electrical wiring is every car enthusiast's nightmare. For some, everything is clear, but for others, it’s a “dark forest.” So, during diagnostic operations, it is necessary to ring the wires going from the lampshade to the power supply or button.

The central light in the cabin does not light up 2114

The fisheye is on, but the central one is not. What’s interesting: there is voltage at the central one, but no current. I removed the lampshade, brought it home, cleaned the contacts, connected it to the power supply, everything is on, i.e. It's not about him. What could be the reason?

what a horror. I’ve never seen anything like this. If you describe it in more detail, you’ll look like you’ll outdo Nikola Tesla with your discovery.

Otherwise, check if the stoplights are burning. It could just be that the fuse has blown. If the front panel is intact and everything in the lampshade is normal, then just use a multimeter to test the entire circuit.

Yes, there is a bad contact somewhere. I had the same problem with the rear light. I called the machine, it shows 12 V. and the lamp does not light. I cleaned the contacts, everything worked. Look at the connector that goes to the light.

Mmmm. What's at the beginning of the HELP topic? did not write?

It doesn't light up for me either. But it doesn’t light because I pulled the light bulb out of there. But I pulled it out because it shorted out in rainy weather and the light bulb was shining. That's it. And as soon as I pulled out the light bulb, everything became great) We must look for simple solutions to problems))

I don’t know how it is on the 4, but I have a common power supply with stopacs. I also drove without a light bulb, came for a technical inspection, but my stopacs don’t light up (I just had to replace them before). That’s it. how long I rode without them and how no one came to my place.

I installed an LED light in the lampshade. Beauty !

like this one, only in the picture the board is straight, but in my lamp this board is “broken” into three parts. The center shines directly, and the outer LEDs shine in different directions. It turns out that the light spreads across the floor with a large angle of radiation

Yes, in the helper the current does not reach the lampshade. Most importantly, the voltage reaches, but the current does not. I really don’t know.

There's a bad connection somewhere. Have to search.

Doesn't light up when you open the doors - or at all, even when you turn it on manually?

When I press it it doesn't light up

I’ll describe it especially for you: I take a multimeter, switch it to voltage measurement mode, apply the probes to the contacts of the lamp, it shows 12 volts. I switch the multimeter to current measurement mode, connect it in series, it shows zero, the lamp does not light up. Now run and write your dissertation

Go further along the wiring - look for non-contact.

Well, yes. And they will settle me between Napoleon and. Well, I don’t know who else prevails there in psychiatric hospitals... what, exactly 12 volts? Is this with the car running or turned off? How did you turn on the lamp? Or did it come from the open door? what am I talking about though. what was going on there. Okay, let the experts sort it out.

There is no need to write a dissertation. Ohm's law is just that.

The multimeter has a very high input resistance (in Russian - it takes little current). Therefore, even with a large ohmic resistance of the wiring (poor contact), it will show 12 volts.

Now you have turned on the load (lamp) - you have closed the circuit. The lamp has much less resistance than the resistance of a bad contact. Therefore, the main voltage drop appears precisely at the site of poor contact. There is only a little bit left for the lamp. The current there is of course not zero, but tiny (you need to switch the measurement limit of the multimeter). And if you measure the voltage on it when the lamp is on, there will also be something there (let’s say 0.1 Volt)

Backlight doesn't work

In cases where the light in the interior of a VAZ 2114 does not turn on, drivers who do not understand the electrical equipment of the car and its repair immediately begin to go to the Internet and try to find some advice or a solution to the problem there. But, no matter how strange it may be, you can fix the interior lighting of a VAZ 2114 yourself, you only need a minimum of tools for this and a detailed action plan, which we will analyze today.

Initial check

It is better to start repairs by checking the functionality of a specific lamp - perhaps the light bulb has simply burned out and will simply need to be replaced. If the light in the interior of the VAZ 2114 does not go out or, on the contrary, does not turn on when the doors are opened, then you need to check the door switches for functionality, you need to see if the contacts are in order, if they have oxidized, then it is better to clean them and wipe them with alcohol.

There are also certain nuances if there are LEDs. Typically, drivers prefer to replace conventional lamps with LEDs as quickly as possible, this is due to the following factors:

  • Cost-effective;
  • Longer service life;
  • Light brightness is much higher at low cost.

But when operating such lamps, it is necessary that the electrical circuit be fully taken into account, since for LED lamps it is important that the polarity be observed. So you need to check the plus and minus and if so, then turn the light bulb the other way and see if it lights up after that

In any case, it is better to remake the lampshade of the individual lighting of the VAZ 2114 for LED lamps so that it produces more brightness

So you need to check the plus and minus, and if so, turn the light bulb the other way and see if it lights up after that. In any case, it is better to convert the lampshade of the individual lighting of the VAZ 2114 to LED lamps so that it produces more brightness.

Also, on all light bulbs you need to check the voltage at the contacts and find out whether current is flowing there. If it is not there, then you will have to look for a broken wire somewhere in the wiring. This will require disassembling certain parts of the car, but there is no getting around it - if the interior lighting of the VAZ 2114 no longer works, then it needs to be repaired

The greatest attention still needs to be paid to the limit switches; often the problem with breaking the circuit lies precisely in them; a wire can easily break there, and you won’t even notice it

How interior lighting works

All electric interior lighting can be divided into the following components:

The most important and basic light source of all the elements listed above is the VAZ 2114 lamp. It is mounted on the ceiling of the passenger compartment in the front part and is turned on using limit switches located in all doors of the car. When you open even one door, the light instantly lights up, and when all doors are closed, it turns off.

In addition, it is also possible to force the lamp to be turned on/off using special buttons located on the side pillars.

Solution

The stores offer several options for light sources for replacing lamps in the instrument cluster:

  • traditional incandescent lamps,
  • LED in a plastic socket,
  • SMD LED is a more expensive and reliable option, a super-bright diode.


The choice will always depend on financial capabilities and lighting preferences.
The number of backlight and control lamps is up to 19 pieces. It varies slightly depending on the design of the instrument cluster and the modification of the vehicle. Many car owners choose LEDs due to lower energy consumption and longer service life. This backlight is brighter and gives an interesting bluish color instead of the standard green. But due to the design of the diode, the brightness control of the instrument illumination will not work, always turning it on at full power. On a long road trip at night, this can be distracting and irritating to the eyes. But in any case, the choice of light sources is yours.

Checking and replacing lamps

Now it’s time to arm yourself with a tester (the simplest Chinese one will do) and start ringing the light bulbs. To do this, put the device in resistance measurement mode (for LED light bulbs, the tester must be put in diode testing mode), and the lamps are removed one by one and dialed.

A tester is necessary for the reason that some light bulbs do not always light up and it is visually impossible to determine their serviceability. We won’t drain brake fluid or fuel from a VAZ to check the low level indicators of one or the other. If it is reliably known which light bulbs are working (for example, the illumination of dial gauges is normal), then these lamps can be left alone.


Nevertheless, I would recommend changing them all, especially if the VAZ modification has incandescent light bulbs (and this is almost always the case). Since it is unknown how long the old ones will last, and disassembling the instrument panel again, say, in a week is irrational.

After installing the new lamps, we connect the shield, without installing it in place yet, and check what can be easily checked visually: turn on the ignition, handbrake, turn indicators, etc. If everything is in order, then the dashboard can be assembled.

Let's get started

First of all, we remove the decorative trim of the radio (since the dashboard and radio are connected to each other, you will have to disturb the music system too), which is held on by fasteners; here it is better to use a screwdriver, threading it under the trim.

The main condition of work is caution. You need to start detaching the cover from the bottom edge

When the bottom edge comes off, you need to pull it towards you a little.

Now detach the top edge. Further:

  1. Disconnect the wire directed to the cigarette lighter.
  2. In the same way as we removed the cover from the radio, we remove it from the dashboard. Above the left and right edges we find two self-tapping screws. They need to be unscrewed. We unscrew the screws located at the top and bottom.
  3. We remove the trim with a little effort (since it is also held on by fasteners, so the decorative plate will have to be rocked a little).
  4. We disconnect all the wires: from the alarm system, from the clock, from the headlights and other things.
  5. We remove the control panel itself, for which we unscrew the four screws on which it is held. In order not to damage the wires, it would be better to disconnect them on the one hand.
  6. Now the most important thing. We remove the sockets of the light bulbs that have stopped burning. To remove the cartridges, you need to turn them counterclockwise with a gentle movement. We replace the defective lamps with new ones, wrap them and install the entire structure in the reverse order of disassembly.

conclusions

There are few reasons for the malfunction of the interior light in the VAZ-2114, and every novice car enthusiast will be able to determine the cause of the malfunction. It is worth remembering that if a car enthusiast is not sure that he can deal with the problem, then it is best to contact a car service center.

Installation of new equipment

Now let’s figure out how to install an LED lamp on a car; for this we will definitely need a VAZ 2114 interior lighting circuit. This is done in the following sequence:

  1. Remove the lampshade;
  2. Unscrew the base of the case;
  3. We connect the new lampshade;
  4. Screw the LED lamp into place.

First we need to remove the original lampshade and disconnect the wires from it, all the contacts, we also need to remove the diffuser. The housing is screwed to the roof sheathing with four self-tapping screws; they are simply unscrewed and the housing is removed. Next, you need to take a new case and connect all the plugs in accordance with the diagram to the contacts that go to the battery. The new housing is screwed in exactly the same way onto the same four self-tapping screws, and the lens is snapped into place.

In this simple way you can update your car interior and make the interior lighting of the VAZ 2114 more comfortable and convenient.

Lighting tuning

In order to save yourself from a lot of problems with lighting, you can install a VAZ 2114 interior lamp with customizable LED backlighting instead of a standard lampshade. Such tuning is within the capabilities of almost every motorist - it does not require either complex tools or extensive knowledge in the field of auto electrics. The most important thing you will need is to purchase a ready-made lampshade at a car dealership (it usually costs around 500 rubles).

For this money you will buy not just a new light source, but also such advantages as:

Installation of the LED lamp is carried out in the following order:

The new interior lighting installed in this way is brighter (at maximum mode) and will make night trips more comfortable for both the driver and his passengers.

Step-by-step instructions for replacing light bulbs in the dashboard of a VAZ-2114

  1. We release the decorative cover of the front panel. For this we need screwdrivers: a short Phillips and a flathead one. Lower the steering column to the lower position using the height adjustment lever to keep it out of the way. The photo shows the mounting locations for the casing:
      There are four screws on the bottom of the visor and above the steering column. Unscrew them with a short Phillips screwdriver.
  2. Using a flathead screwdriver, pry off the decorative cap to the right of the row of switches. There is another fastening screw under it.
  3. Also, remove the handles from the heater switch and damper control sliders by pulling them towards you.
  4. If you have a car radio, you will also have to remove it. Unfortunately, you cannot do without complete dismantling. Arrows indicate locations for removal
  5. Pull the front panel cover towards you. He must move. You don’t have to remove it completely - there will be enough space to access the fastening screws on the sides of the instrument cluster. Carry out the actions carefully
  6. Unscrew the fastening screws with a long screwdriver. The combination will be released and you can tilt it towards yourself. Pull out the two blocks with wires. Don’t be afraid to mix them up - there is a color marking, and the asymmetrical shape of the connector will prevent you from connecting it incorrectly. The arrow indicates the location of the cartridge handle
  7. On the back cover of the instrument cluster there are cartridge handles. Arm yourself with small pliers. This will make it easier to unscrew them. To release the cartridge, half a turn counterclockwise is enough. You can safely take out all the cartridges - they are the same. Next, you can check the lamps with a tester and replace the burnt ones, or replace them all with LEDs at once. Try to ensure that they fit tightly in the cartridge, otherwise the contact will be unreliable.
  8. We reassemble in reverse order. We insert the cartridges into the seats so that the antennae fall into the grooves, carefully turn them with pliers until they stop. We connect both blocks to the connectors of the instrument cluster.
  9. Let's check if all the lamps are working:
      raise the handbrake and turn on the ignition: so let’s check the handbrake, generator, oil pressure and check lamps,
  10. turn on the hazard warning lights - check the warning lamp and direction indicator lamps,
  11. pull the headlight switch lever towards you - temporarily turn on the high beams, check the warning lamp,
  12. turn on the dimensions - see if the scales are evenly illuminated, and if the warning lamp, if any, is on.

If everything works correctly, we fix the instrument cluster and the front panel casing, and replace the heater switch handles and damper controls.


Check the brightness and functionality of all devices

Congratulations, now the instrument lighting and warning lights are working properly, and you will always be aware of what is happening with the car. The overall aesthetics of the front panel will also improve - the evenly lit front panel looks beautiful.

How to replace the lamps in the instrument panel on a VAZ 2113-VAZ 2115?

Replacing lamps in the instrument cluster:

1. Let's start with the most important thing, with the combination, this is where car enthusiasts most often change the lamps, let's say from personal experience, replacing lamps is easy, but it is difficult to remove all the parts of the torpedo, because to get to the instrument cluster, you need to remove the center console of the torpedo, and this takes time, let's get started, at the beginning of the operation, sit comfortably in the car and take a screwdriver in your hands, in the legs, on the driver's side and on the passenger side, unscrew a couple of screws securing the lower linings and remove them, putting them aside (see photo below , the example in the photo is shown on the driver's lower trim).

2. After access to the center console mounting screws is open, use a screwdriver to unscrew them (There are two screws in total, one on the driver’s side and one on the passenger’s side, see photo below), that’s all, you can consider that you’re done with the lower part, move on to the top.

3. Regarding the upper part of the center console, in general, take a flat-head screwdriver and, using it, remove the small trim, as shown in the photo, under it there will be a screw for a Phillips-head screwdriver, so take the screwdriver that will be needed and unscrew this screw completely and proceed to completion.

4. And finally, without screwdrivers, purely with your hands, remove the heating fan switch handle and all three plastic covers that are attached to the levers, but only they are secured with clamps, so you don’t need to pull them with all your might, in this case, by the way, you will need a screwdriver, The clamps are located at the ends of these plastic covers; if you look closely you can see them.

5. Well, that’s practically it, use a screwdriver to unscrew a couple more screws (see photo below, it’s on the right side), in the same way the screws will be located even closer to the left side of the car, unscrew them too and carefully pull the entire center console towards you, it remove, you don’t need to disconnect anything from the back of the console, just take it forward a little and put it on the steering wheel or anywhere else (The main thing is that you can reach the instrument cluster), be careful not to break the wires that are connected to the buttons on the back side consoles.

Note! You can, of course, disconnect all the wires if you want, but this is purely at your discretion, we will immediately note that if you disconnect the work will take a long time, when reconnecting the wires, do not confuse them and before installing the center console, turn on the light and thereby you will know if everything is the buttons will light up, correct this if necessary!

6. The instrument cluster is also mounted on screws, they are on the side, unscrew them with a Phillips screwdriver and completely remove the instrument cluster from its seat by pulling it towards you, but just be careful to pull it sharply, the pads are connected to the instrument cluster on the reverse side with the wires, disconnect them and place them carefully on the dashboard and make sure that the pads do not fall into the inside of the dashboard, otherwise you will have to take them out later, and this is again wasted time.

Note! In order to remove the lamps from the instrument cluster, you will first need to remove the socket you need (Because the lamps are located in the sockets), to do this you will need to turn the socket counterclockwise and remove it, but to remove the light bulb, you will have to pry off the copper plates and pull it, it will be removed from the socket (You can also buy a lamp with a socket in the store already assembled)!

7. That’s all, install the lamps, check the operation, if everything works then put the center console in its place, if it creaks or rattles on bumps, you can glue it, for more details on how to do this, see the video below (Only this The video refers to the VAZ 2109, but the principle is essentially the same):

Replacing lamps in buttons, stoves and cigarette lighters:

1. Let's start with removal, in order to remove the buttons that are located above the BC (On-Board Computer), you will need to remove the BC itself (see photo below) or if your car does not have it (there will be a plug instead), then dig it out and remove this plug, then stick your hand into the opened opening and thereby disconnect the block of wires from the desired button (You don’t have to disconnect it if it’s not convenient for you), then push the button out, overcoming the force of the clamps, if possible, press them, in this way button you will remove.

Note! After the button is removed, it must be replaced with another one, if you decide to re-expose it (you wanted a different color, for example, or you don’t have money for a new button), then in this case you will have to tinker a little, for more details on how to re-expose the button, watch in the video below, but in general, car enthusiasts most often replace them with new ones!

2. Regarding the cigarette lighter and stove, in general, if you work with the cigarette lighter lamp, then you will need to unscrew a couple of screws at the bottom on the driver’s side and remove the trim (How to do this was described in point 1, under the heading: “Replacing lamps in the instrument cluster” ), then disconnecting the block of wires from the cigarette lighter, remove the lamp assembly with the socket and replace it with a new lamp (see small photo), to replace the stove backlight, remove the plastic covers from the handles of the stove (Read point 4 above) and pry it up with a screwdriver facing cover (see large photo below), remove it and under it you will find a socket with a lamp, which you will need to replace with a new one.

Tuning the ceiling

Such a pleasant and exciting thing for a car enthusiast as do-it-yourself tuning is also possible with a courtesy lamp. Instead of the usual one, a lampshade with a programmable LED lamp is installed. It has advanced features:

  • selection of three brightness modes, this selection is made by switching the switch at intervals of one second, the last switching on is remembered;
  • shutdown delay 6-8 seconds with smooth extinguishing of the lamp;
  • automatic shutdown when the door is not closed or not tightly closed after 30 minutes.

The price for such a lamp is only about five hundred rubles, so the choice is obvious. The procedure for installing and connecting a lamp with a programmable LED lamp:

  • the plastic diffuser of the standard lamp is removed;
  • the wires are disconnected from the contacts of this device;
  • the four self-tapping screws holding the light housing on the body ceiling are turned out and the body of the old device is removed;
  • the LED illuminator is released from the plastic transparent diffuser cover;
  • the electrical wiring is connected to the plugs of the LED illuminator in accordance with the diagram;
  • the body of the new lamp is attached to the ceiling of the body in a regular place with self-tapping screws;
  • The plastic diffuser is fixed on the body.

It should be noted that such a lighting device produces brighter light, which in the dark is a good help for all people who are in the car.

Lighting in the VAZ-2115 is one of the most important components of comfortable movement by car at night. If the interior light does not work, the driver faces a lot of inconvenience.

The light emitted by street lamps will not help you find the desired item in the glove compartment, therefore, it is best for the driver to take care in advance that all the light bulbs and other components of the car’s electrical equipment work stably and reliably. But what to do in a situation if the lighting fixtures in the interior of a VAZ-2115 for some reason refuse to fulfill their duties?

Standard interior lighting

The basic set of interior lighting for the 14th model (and a number of other VAZ cars) includes:

  • dashboard lighting;
  • individual lighting shade;
  • central (general) interior lamp.

It is the latter that is responsible for illuminating the entire internal space. It is a socket with an electric incandescent lamp, closed for safety purposes with a cap (which also plays the role of a diffuser, ensuring uniform distribution of the light flow throughout the cabin).

The wires from the lamp contacts go to the door limit switches, which are responsible for automatically turning it on and off (for forced control of the lighting inside the cabin, there are buttons located on the central pillars).

If the light inside the cabin suddenly stops turning on, this does not mean that damage has occurred in the lampshade itself and the light bulb in the interior of the VAZ 2114 needs to be replaced. Very often, a blown fuse is to blame for such a situation, which should be checked first.

In order to check the serviceability of the fuse - it is not at all necessary to even remove it from the block - you just need to remember that the interior lamp and brake lights have one common fuse. That is why, if the feet work, but the light in the cabin does not, then the reason should be sought in something else.

Another common cause of malfunction can be limit switches, which wear out over time and stop working (their short circuit can be indicated not only by a light that does not turn on, but also, on the contrary, by a constantly working one, which will mean that the limit switch is closed in the on position). You should also remember this and periodically monitor their condition and, if necessary, replace them.

If the check showed that it is the light bulb in the interior of the VAZ 2114 that does not work, then you can replace it as follows (to replace it you only need a flat-head screwdriver and a new light bulb):

  1. Disconnect the ground (negative) terminal from the battery.
  2. Use a slotted screwdriver to pry off the base of the lamp housing.
  3. Remove the housing from the seat.
  4. Use a slotted screwdriver to pry off the lamp socket clamps in the form of two latches.
  5. Remove the socket along with the light bulb.
  6. Remove the light bulb itself and replace it with a new one.

Assembling and installing the lampshade is performed in exactly the same way, but in the reverse order.

Having disassembled the lampshade, you should carefully examine the condition of the contacts on the light bulb socket - if there is dirt or oxides on them, they should be cleaned with fine sandpaper or a rag moistened with kerosene or another solvent.

Assembly

When you have made sure that all the light bulbs on the VAZ 2114 are working correctly, you can begin assembling the panel. To do this, all the backlight wires are brought out onto the board and carefully attached using a soldering iron. They should also be attached to the board in a certain sequence, otherwise the backlight may not work. If the wires are too long, they should be shortened so that they do not bend and do not fall into the grooves of the latches between the dashboard and the dashboard during installation. Otherwise, the wires will easily get damaged.

When connecting the pointer drive, also make sure that they are not deformed. Now, the instrument panel can be inserted back into the grooves and fixed with screws. The indicator arrows must be set with the ignition off, at the zero mark. Next, the last check: turn the ignition key, and if everything works, then the replacement procedure was completed correctly, and the new backlight will please the eye. Well, if something doesn’t work, then most likely you damaged the wires when installing the panel on the dashboard. In this case, disassemble everything again and check the integrity of the wires.

How to replace the license plate light bulb?

All this work will take little time, about five minutes. You need to prepare a flathead screwdriver and take new light bulbs. Then perform a few simple manipulations:

  1. Turn off the lights.
  2. Open the trunk.
  3. Take a plastic screwdriver and use it to pry the lampshade by the sealing clips.
  4. Remove the backlight housing and disconnect the contacts.
  5. Pull out the sealing sleeve.
  6. Make a replacement.
  7. Reinstall the structure.
  8. Check the functionality of the device.

Dashboard lamps

The dashboard provides the driver with a lot of useful information that allows him to monitor the condition of the car, the driving process, diagnose breakdowns in a timely manner and correct them. So, the panel light comes on for the following reasons:

  • The battery is not charging.
  • For one reason or another, the handbrake is stuck.
  • Not enough fuel in the tank.
  • The oil pressure has decreased (which indicates the need to urgently stop the engine to avoid more serious consequences).
  • Excess water in the filter. To prevent water from entering the pump, which could lead to damage, you need to drain excess water from the filter.
  • The fuel system is malfunctioning.
  • There was a failure in the propulsion system and much more.

As you can see, the panel lamps allow you to determine what is wrong in the car; if the lamps themselves fail, then you can miss a very important breakdown, which can even lead to an accident

This is why it is so important not to delay replacement (lamps cannot be repaired)

Today, the car market offers a wide range of lamps for the control panel, ranging from the standard version, which is cheaper but also has average characteristics, to modernized versions that give the panel, and therefore the entire atmosphere of the car, a different, more expressive atmosphere.

Professionals also advise replacing standard lamps with LEDs, which largely decorate the panel. So, we list several of the currently most popular options suitable for the VAZ 2114.

  • LED lamps Sho-Me SM-T5 (blue, white and red). Country of origin: Korea, price: 80 rubles. for a couple.
  • High-brightness SMD LED module – 20 rubles.
  • LED Sho-me SM-T5-cap-super (white) – 50 rub.
  • Halogen lamps from Osram and Philips cost approximately 40-80 rubles apiece.

As you can see, prices for lamps are not high. It is worth noting that replacement takes very little time, which we will talk about later.

Do-it-yourself overexposure of buttons on a VAZ 2114

Replacing the standard button backlighting on a VAZ 2114 will require the preparation of certain tools, materials, as well as some time. To work you will need the following list of necessary things:

  • soldering iron with a thin tip;
  • solder;
  • tweezers;
  • small knife or flat screwdriver;
  • LED elements of the desired color.

Which LEDs and in what quantities should I buy?

The buttons installed on the dashboard of the model in question come in old and new styles. In the first case, small light bulbs or LEDs are used as a backlight element, and in the second, boards with sealed SMD LEDs are used.


Bulbs, LEDs and SMD elements can be used as backlighting elements in buttons.

Each button is equipped with two LED elements: one is responsible for illuminating the button itself, and the second indicates the activation of a particular function. The exception is the low beam headlight button - it does not have a power indicator LED. Therefore, if you plan to replace the LEDs on all five buttons, you will need to purchase 9 backlight elements. The type of the latter can be determined only after disassembling the button. The old model requires 12 V LEDs with a diameter of 3 mm. The new sample uses elements marked 0805. When using standard LEDs, it is recommended to additionally install a resistor with a resistance of 500 Ohms to 1 kOhm along the power circuit (directly in the button), which will prevent the element from burning out.


To prevent the LED from burning out, it is recommended to install a resistor in series

How to remove buttons

To remove the buttons on the front console, do the following:

  1. Remove the negative terminal from the battery.
  2. We take out the plug of the on-board computer or the BC itself, if it is installed. To do this, just hook it with your finger and pull it towards you.
  3. We put our hand into the hole formed and feel the back of the buttons.
  4. Carefully press the buttons out.
  5. We remove the blocks with wires.
  6. Having completed the necessary actions with the buttons, install them in the reverse order.

Replacing the backlight of the front panel buttons

Since replacing LEDs on old and new button versions is somewhat different, each process should be considered separately.

Overexposure of old-style buttons

After removing the buttons from the instrument panel, perform the following sequence of actions:

  1. Pull the top of the button and remove the lid that is pressed.
  2. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the button and remove the inner part. You need to remove it carefully so as not to lose the springs.
  3. Use a multimeter to determine the polarity of the LEDs.
  4. We bend the leads and dismantle the LED element.
  5. We bend the leads of the new LEDs and insert them into the button body, observing the polarity, after which we shorten the leads with side cutters to the required length.
  6. Reassemble the button in reverse order.

Overexposure of new buttons

On modern buttons we change the LEDs this way:

  1. We disassemble the button, as in the previous paragraph.
  2. After opening we find a board with installed LEDs. We determine the polarity of the elements and solder them with a soldering iron with a thin tip.
  3. In their place, we carefully install new SMD LEDs of the desired glow color.
  4. We reassemble the button.

Modernization of the buttons for turning on the headlights and low beam

The buttons for turning on the headlights and low beam headlights are made as a single element. The absence of an LED indicating that the headlights are on low beam causes inconvenience to many motorists. This is due to the fact that it is often unclear whether the headlights work or not. To solve this problem, they resort to modernizing the button. In addition to the tools listed above, you will need a similar button from which the necessary parts will be removed. The finalization process itself consists of the following steps:

  1. Remove the button from the panel.
  2. Using a minus screwdriver, we pry up the keys, take them out and see that the LED is initially missing.
  3. We disassemble the button housing by pressing on the latches with a screwdriver. At this stage the buttons should be in the pressed position.
  4. We remove a couple of pins and contacts from the spare button, and then install them in the body of the element being modified.
  5. We take out the board with two LEDs from the spare button and replace it with the board with one LED element.
  6. Using a soldering iron, we connect the board to the new terminals.
  7. To supply power to the new contacts, we connect the contacts with copper wire according to the photo.
  8. Using a sharp knife or screwdriver, make a hole in the button cover.
  9. We assemble the part in the reverse order and install it in place.

Illumination of the VAZ 2114 stove, replacing light bulbs with LED ones

Sometimes motorists notice that during the operation of the car, such an element as the backlight of the VAZ 2114 stove switch fails - its bulbs first dim, and then completely burn out.

In addition, some drivers are not satisfied with the original lighting at all, and they immediately think about how to change it to LED.

We will talk about how to do this and what is needed for this replacement in today’s article.

Replacing the stove light

Most often, car enthusiasts perform just such a replacement, since the backlight of the VAZ 2114 stove control in its original form is quite dim and often breaks.

In order to change it to a new one, you will need:

  • screwdriver;
  • pliers;
  • knife;
  • new LEDs that will be installed to replace light bulbs.

The entire replacement is done very simply and in just a couple of steps, for this you need:

  1. Disconnect the terminals from the battery.
  2. Disassemble the torpedo at the location of the regulator.
  3. Remove the old lamps (one of them is located directly on the regulator, and the second is on the air flow adjustment levers). This should be done extremely carefully, since the lamps are fragile.
  4. Install new LED lamps.
  5. Perform a performance check (this should be done with the torpedo disassembled).
  6. If the circuit is in good condition and the lamps are on, then reassemble.
  7. Connect the terminals to the battery.

Illumination of the stove with the torpedo removed

LED bulbs should be installed in accordance with their polarity. If you are not exactly sure which of the wires going to the socket is “positive” and which is “negative”, then you can carry out a quick check using a multimeter.

When measuring DC voltage in accordance with the color of the probes (red for positive, black for negative), the screen will simply show voltage (12 v).

Otherwise (if the red probe is applied to the minus, and the black probe to the plus), the voltage on the screen will be shown with a “minus” icon (-12 v).

Order of Operations

Since the dashboard is interconnected with the music center, you will have to touch this system as well:

Remove the radio cover using a screwdriver, carefully threading the tool under the socket. First we pull it out from the bottom, then the top part of the lining. The electrical wires leading to the cigarette lighter must be disconnected. Now we find the screws on the dashboard and unscrew them. Remove the handles from the damper sliders and the heater switch by pulling them towards you. Now you need to remove the dashboard panel, it is held not only by screws, but also by other fasteners, so first you will have to loosen it a little. Now you need to disconnect the wiring from the panel: from the clock, from the alarm system, from the headlights and other devices. Note! Don't worry about wire tangles

There are color markings, and the shapes of the connectors will prevent incorrect connections.

Pull the panel towards you, but not completely. It is impossible to remove it completely, but it moves enough to provide access to the fasteners. We find 4 more screws on the control panel and unscrew them. On the back surface we find cartridges. It's easier to unscrew them with small pliers. Release the cartridge by turning it counterclockwise. Half a turn is enough. We do the same with the rest of the cartridges - they are all designed the same. We check the lamps with a tester and determine which ones are faulty. Or we change the entire combination, for example, to LEDs. We screw in the light bulbs tightly, remembering that they operate under conditions of vibration and shaking. We install all the cartridges in place. We use pliers again. Turn half clockwise until it stops. Now we connect the panel to the instrument connectors and check the functionality of all the light bulbs: from the ignition to the hazard warning lights. If everything works correctly, we fix the panel and perform the installation in the reverse order, before installing the radio cover.

For the procedure for replacing light bulbs in the dashboard of VAZ 2113, 2114 and 2115, watch this video.

Operating procedure

Replacing the backlight on a VAZ 2114 begins with purchasing a set of LED lamps in the color you need. On the instrument panel, there are several sensors and indicators that require a certain number of diodes to ensure their normal visibility for the driver, especially at night. Therefore, before buying a set of lamps, calculate the required number of LEDs for each device. For example, a brake sensor requires 3 bulbs.

Location of light bulbs on the dash

It is advisable to buy with a reserve, at least 5 - 10 lamps more. Since, during installation, you can damage one of the circuits and the LEDs will not work. This often happens to those who are doing this work for the first time.

You need to start work by removing the instrument panel, as well as turning off the resistance. Next, carefully remove the old backlight bulbs from the factory sockets. On the reverse side of the VAZ 2114 panel, there are special sockets designed for installing LED backlight bulbs.

After the old backlight is removed, carefully grind off the heads of the LED lamps to the required size. If this is the first time this work is being done, then you will most likely need spare diodes. Next, when the heads are prepared, they need to be installed on the instrument panel. Replacement of light bulbs must be carried out strictly according to the same polarity as in the standard version.

After the diodes are in place, they need to be secured. Do not under any circumstances use screws for this. Scotch tape is also not suitable for this type of thing. When choosing a fastening element, you need to assume that it will heat up a little. Silicone glue is ideal for this. It will not damage the surface of the panel, thanks to its soft consistency, and will securely secure the light bulbs in the sockets.

Now, you need to check the quality of the work done. To do this, without putting the panel in place, turn on the ignition and look at the result. If everything works as it should, then the replacement was made correctly. If there are any inconsistencies, then you most likely have violated the polarity of connecting the backlight bulbs on the VAZ 2114. To fix the problem, you will need to find the connection diagram and double-check whether all the bulbs are in their places. If, after turning on the ignition, the backlight does not light up at all, then you need to check the integrity of the wires. The wires installed on diode lamps are quite thin and can easily break under the insulation or even break completely. So, be careful when handling them.

Select lampshades for VAZ cars

And you yourself, I think, have had occasion to be annoyed by the fact that it is difficult to find and see something in the cabin in the dark. And if we add to this insufficiently good eyesight... The price of saving on your own health will be higher than for lampshades for a VAZ car . Lighting in the driver's cabin bothers owners of modern cars less often than owners of old budget-class cars. But sometimes the “native” car lighting is still not enough. Then the question arises about replacing lampshades for VAZ cars. The easiest way out is to change the light bulb. But this is not always enough.

Repairing light in VAZ-2115

The first step is to make sure the light bulbs are working. Often the driver goes into the real jungle, looking for a breakdown when it is on the very surface. Using a screwdriver, unscrew the fastening elements of the lamp cover and remove the light bulb.

You need to make sure that there is a filament, or simply connect the lighting element to the battery. If the light comes on, you should proceed to the next stage of searching for the problem.

Very often, in cars of the VAZ family there is no light due to a breakdown of the lamp itself. There are often cases when the contacts inside the element melted, resulting in a short circuit. The lampshade can be easily removed using a screwdriver. It is possible to check its functionality by ringing the contacts. It is also recommended to conduct a thorough visual diagnosis, which very often provides answers to all the driver’s questions.

The consequence of a short circuit is the breakdown of the relay or fuse. It is enough to replace failed elements with new ones, after which the light in the VAZ-2115 interior will light up again. Breakdowns that occur in a car's electrical wiring are perhaps the most unpleasant and frightening malfunction for drivers. Not many people have the skill and experience to operate this car system. Therefore, if the reason for the lack of light lies precisely in the wiring, it is best to leave your “iron horse” in the experienced hands of an electrician. The difficulty in handling wiring is due to the fact that diagnostic operations involve ringing the wires from the power supply to the lamp or button.

The interior lighting does not work, what should I do?

  1. First of all, check the brake lights. If they work, then the problem with the fuse immediately disappears. If not, then check the fuses for functionality in the article Fuses.
  2. We check the functionality of the light bulb - replace it if it does not work.
  3. Let's see if the voltage is suitable for the lamp contacts.
  4. We look at the door switches, they must be connected to the interior lighting. It could also be a bad connection.

The electrical equipment system of the VAZ 2114 car includes a whole range of different lighting devices.


It's good when it's light in the cabin

Conventionally, they can be divided into the following groups:

  • Headlight;
  • Tail lights;
  • Lighting in the cabin.

To make it easier for the driver to navigate the road at night, halogen low and high beam lamps are installed in front of the car in the headlight unit. Turn signal lamps are also installed in one unit with them, so that when repairing the car the entire unit can be removed. At the rear there is one block on each side, which includes brake lights, turn lamps and reverse lamps.

Why change the backlighting of individual buttons on the VAZ 2114 dashboard

On the VAZ 2114, the illumination of the buttons for controlling the dimensions, low beam, front and rear fog lights, as well as the rear window heating is green from the factory. Over time, many owners get tired of this glow and there is a desire to replace it, make it non-standard. After making a decision about such modifications, you need to decide: do this work yourself or contact the service. Since the process of replacing button backlighting is not a complicated procedure, in most cases, car owners carry out such an upgrade with their own hands.


The standard green backlighting of the buttons gets boring over time.
