The license plate light does not light up - is it possible to drive at night?

VAZ 2115 license plate light does not work

Why is the VAZ 2114 license plate illuminated? To identify a car in the dark, the color of the lamp must comply with the legislative standards of GOST and traffic regulations. White or yellow lighting is recommended rather than blue or red. The original lighting has one drawback - in the presence of a wide color variety, the process of operating the car is difficult, so the lighting system needs serious modification or complete replacement.

Fines associated with license plate illumination

the absence of state signs, rear license plate illumination on a vehicle, non-lit license plate illumination or the presence of factors that impede their readability and identification will result in deprivation of a driver’s license for a period of 1 to 3 months or a fine of 5 thousand rubles;
Driving a car with license plates that are non-standard, difficult to read, or not placed in accordance with state standards will result in a warning or a fine of 500 rubles;
if the lighting works properly, but the car is so dirty that the lighting is almost invisible, this is also a defect and is punishable by financial compensation.

Penalties for knowingly installing false license plates:

For individuals about 2500 rubles.
For officials - 15,000-20,000 rubles.
For legal entities approximately 400,000-500,000 rubles.

In case of any of the above problems, it is better to quickly eliminate them in daylight. This can be easily done at any car service center or on your own, and it will cost several times less than paying a fine. It is better to prevent a malfunction immediately than to waste time and money later on for such a small mistake.

Complete absence of backlight

If the license plate light does not light up at all, you will be fined.
After all, in this way the sign becomes unreadable. Such a malfunction is perceived as a deliberate obstacle to the performance of the duties of authorized traffic police officers.

Driving a car with the license plate illumination not working during the day, if they are clearly legible, is not prohibited and is not a violation. But at night the numbers should be readable.

If at least one of several bulbs malfunctions and only part of the license plate is darkened, this is considered a violation and a fine is imposed. In this case, its amount will be 500 rubles or a verbal warning.

In some cases, a burnt-out device does not interfere with the readability of the license plate. This is possible if the second one works perfectly and is located in a place where there is the greatest advantage of lighting.

There will be no punishment for this. In accordance with the 2021 traffic rules, it is a violation to read even one character on a license plate at any time of the day from a distance of 20 meters.

If not visible due to contamination

Many motorists believe that if the backlight works, but is simply dirty, then the fine in this case is illegal.

Please note that above in paragraph 3.3 of the Basic Provisions, the condition under which it is prohibited to drive a car is considered to include dirty license plate backlight. Therefore, there is a misconception, and in this case there is a violation.

If my car doesn’t have it at all

But here the situation is twofold in practice in 2021 and at the same time unambiguous in theory.

Let's start with the theory. A necessary condition for bringing a driver to justice is the presence of an offense. In this composition, an indispensable attribute is the guilt of the person in the violation committed. In this case, the car owner cannot be at fault for the lack of lighting as such.

But in practice, you may well be fined. And the good news is that his appeal has a good chance of success.

If it does not work during daylight hours

What should be noted here regarding the second fine is the very criterion of unreadability of the state registration plate. It is such if it is impossible to read it (at least one letter or number) from a distance of 20 meters. This applies to both numbers - front and rear.

However, since in the daytime the backlight does not matter at all in terms of readability of the license plate, then in practice in 2021, the traffic police officer will most likely issue a fine under Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses for the lack of backlighting as such. That is, an unreadable license plate has no connection in this case with this article - the decision is issued specifically for violation of the Basic Provisions for Ensuring the Backlight is On, and it does not matter whether or not the letters and numbers of the license plate can be read from 20 meters.

Penalty for malfunction

There is one more rule, failure to comply with which will result in punishment. It is prohibited to operate a vehicle with defects, the presence of which would result in a ban on driving the vehicle.

However, it does not comply with the Basic Provisions for the approval of a car for operation. Violation is punishable by a fine of 500 rubles or an official warning.

Even if one light from the rear license plate illumination is not lit, but all symbols are visible and readable, the driver can be fined only for the non-working state of the license plate illumination.

Therefore, in the event of such a malfunction, it is better to quickly replace it in the daytime.

You can do this yourself or at a technical center, which will cost much less than a fine. In addition, the driver's reputation will not be desecrated by an official warning.

Are you fined for blue lighting?

Many car enthusiasts are engaged in styling and, for the sake of beauty, change the lamp in the rear license plate illumination from white to blue.

It is worth considering here that only a limited list of colors is allowed:

Front license plate: orange, white or yellow.
Rear: white only.

As can be seen from the above, there are no blue shades in the list of permitted shades. However, there is no fine for drivers using them: having discovered an offense, the inspector immediately draws up a protocol, and by a court decision, the citizen can be deprived of his rights for a period of 6 months to 1 year.

In some older car models, the factory design does not provide rear license plate illumination. If the car owner has an up-to-date diagnostic card, this confirms the absence of significant faults, and the inspector has no right to hold him accountable.

It is also worth considering that upon the first violation, the inspector may issue a warning. If the driver is “caught” with a similar defect more than once, pay 500 rubles. still have to. If a protocol has already been drawn up and the car owner is again stopped by a traffic police officer for lack of illumination, there is no need to pay a fine twice.

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:

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

The same steps are performed on the other side. The license plate light on the VAZ 2114 works!

How to replace bulbs on license plate lights

In order to replace the diodes, you only need a flathead screwdriver. No other tools are required. The work must be performed in the following sequence:

First of all, you need to pry off the lampshade using a screwdriver.
Then, with a gentle movement, disconnect the wires on the lampshade.

Note: They can come off very easily, which is not advisable. Otherwise, you will have to carry out additional manipulations. That is why you need to act as carefully as possible.

Disconnect all contacts.
Remove the rubber cover that serves as a protective function for the lampshade.
Now very carefully bend the contact to the side. Without this, it will be impossible to get the lamp.
Then you can easily remove the light bulb from the lampshade.
Insert the new lamp in place of the old one.
Unbend the contact so that it returns to its original position.

Note: Frequently replacing the bulb may cause this contact to break.

Put the rubber cover back on. Without it, the lampshade will quickly crack, as it is very delicate.
Put all contacts back.
Connect all wires back.
Insert the lamp into the luggage compartment lid. Snap on the left side of the lampshade so that it holds better.
After that, you just need to check if the backlight works. If everything is done correctly, then there should be no problems with its operation. Otherwise, you should repeat the entire process from the beginning.

After replacement the indicator lights up

Many people encounter a problem when, after replacing light bulbs, the indicator lights up, as if signaling that the light bulb has burned out.

Indeed, the light bulb has burned out. This happens when new light bulbs immediately burn out. This shouldn't be surprising. However, you should check that all the bulbs are working as they should.

After replacing the lamp, the resistance changes. Usually it decreases. This is why the lamp monitoring relay thinks that the lamp is burnt out, although it is still functioning normally. There are two ways to solve this problem: either buy a new relay or resolder the resistors.

In what ways can you achieve original license plate lighting?

Recently, there have been frequent cases when LEDs are inserted into the ceiling instead of conventional lamps. Such lighting is bright and attractive, making the car original and interesting. It is important that the lighting has a color acceptable by GOST standards and that the numbers are readable.

It can be installed on a VAZ 2114 car in two ways.

First way

Replace standard incandescent lamps with LED lamps (they have the same contacts as in factory products).

Attention: if you are installing an LED lamp, it is important not to reverse the polarity, otherwise the lamp will not function.

It is also important to choose the right light bulbs; too bright ones will quickly fail and take up too much energy. It’s also not worth installing very expensive products, because the lighting will become very noticeable, distracting drivers from the road process. Low quality light bulbs can have various defects and quickly fail. So we buy light bulbs from trusted representatives and use them economically.

Second way

Install LED strip. To do this, you will need resistors - 3 pieces and the same number of LED strips. Their colors are very diverse, but it is best to choose white or yellow tones.

Attention: traffic police officers pay attention to such luminous strips, and may impose a fine for failure to take into account the rules for installing lighting devices. You need to take this factor into account before installing the product!

If a motorist, in spite of everything, wants to replace the standard backlight with LED, the following steps must be followed:

Solder a resistor to the positive end of the LED segments.
Attach small wires to its end and the negative side.
The result is a design with two contacts, which are powered by wires from the standard backlight.

To give the tape an original design, you need to take a piece of plexiglass and glue the strip onto it with silicone sealant. Next, we connect the wires of the tape to the contacts of the factory backlight lamps and make insulation.

At the next stage, we prepare the surface for installing the product:

remove the lampshades;
degrease the fastening side with solvent;
after drying, apply sealant and glue the LED strip;
We seal the tape along the edges and leave it until completely dry.

Attention: the diodes are distributed in the corners and fixed with sealant, this way you can avoid moisture getting into the structure. During operation, too many wires will come out, but do not pay attention to this, in the end there will still be two of them. The wires are connected to the standard backlight or to a separate button.

We check the operation of the design in action. If everything is functioning correctly, the job has been done effectively. In exactly the same way, you can illuminate the license plate around the edges, but this can lead to problems with the traffic police. Let's remember this!

LED lighting looks attractive both during the day and at night, making the car bright and original.

Original number plate lighting

According to traffic rules, the backlight must always be in working order, and therefore, if there are problems with the lighting of the license plate, they must be urgently eliminated, the light bulb must be replaced, or the cause must be found in the device unit itself. Create all the conditions for efficient and safe movement on the road! Take care of yourself and your car!

Recommendations for replacing license plate lights

By spending a few minutes of your free time, you will protect yourself from fines from traffic police officers. Remember that only those lights that emit a pale yellow or white color can act as backlight lamps for the Lada “Kalina” license plate. Drivers who decide to replace factory lamps with colored bulbs receive a fine of five hundred rubles. According to the law, such machines should not be allowed to operate. If the replacement of lamps was successful and the backlight is on, do not forget to monitor the cleanliness of the rooms.

The lamp for illuminating the license plate on the VAZ 2110 can be installed both at the front and at the rear. It is necessary so that the car is visible from afar at night. By the way, during the day these lights are almost invisible, even if they are on. But at night the car becomes very impressive and beautiful. The backlight can be of different colors. Replacing a light bulb on a VAZ 2110 with your own hands is not at all difficult.

Wiring harness for rear license plate illumination VAZ 2110-2115

Dear customers, in order to avoid errors when sending the wiring harness of the license plate 2110-3724214 to the VAZ 2110, VAZ 2111, VAZ 2112, Lada “Ten”, Lada Samara / VAZ 2113, VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115, indicate the model of your car in the “Comment” line , year of issue.

Basically, the wiring of all cars is divided into three main parts. This is the engine wiring harness or is also called the front wiring harness.

The rear harness is the harness for the interior of the car. And the dashboard harness. Additional harnesses include door wiring harnesses and other harnesses. Depending on the current strength, wires in bundles of different sections are used. The strongest wires are at the connection between the battery and the starter and generator. The ignition system uses special high voltage wires that can withstand voltages of up to 40,000 volts.

When repairing the electrical equipment of a VAZ 2110, VAZ 2111, VAZ 2112, Lada “Ten”, Lada Samara / VAZ 2113, VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115, sometimes you have to check all the wiring. To do this, you need to imagine how it passes through the body. All wiring is mostly hidden under the sheathing and under the cladding panels.

Scheme for switching on side lights of VAZ-2110, 2111 and 2112

1 - side light lamps in the headlights, 2 - mounting block, 3 - external lighting switch, 4 - ignition switch, 5 - external lighting indicator lamp in the instrument cluster, 6 - side light lamps in the external rear lights, 7 - stop lamps - signal in the inner rear lights, 8 — license plate lights, 9 — instrument lighting switch, 10 — reverse light switch, 11 — brake light switch, 12 — on-board control system unit, 13 — reverse light lamps in the inner rear lamps, K1 - lamp health monitoring relay (contact jumpers are shown inside the relay, which should be installed in the absence of a relay), A - to power supplies, B - to instrument lighting lamps

Any VAZ 2110, VAZ 2111, VAZ 2112, Lada “Ten” (be it a sedan, hatchback or station wagon) must be equipped with illuminated rear license plates. AvtoVAZ installs two lamps on the lower side of the car trunk saber.

Sooner or later, the rear license plate lamps burn out. Some car enthusiasts decide to leave everything as is and do not change the light bulbs. This is fundamentally wrong behavior, because it has not the most pleasant consequences.

The fact is that any traffic police officer has every right to fine a person who is driving a VAZ 2110, VAZ 2111, VAZ 2112, Lada “Ten” with unlit license plates. In addition, the basis for a fine is not only the lack of license plate lighting, but also the incorrect installation of the lights.

The rear license plate light wiring harness 2110-3724214 consists of wires with terminals, blocks and rubber seals for the lights.

If the inspector cannot clearly identify the license plate of a VAZ 2110, VAZ 2111, VAZ 2112, Lada “Ten” from a distance of twenty meters from the car, then he imposes a fine for illuminating the license plate. Of course, you can convince the traffic cop that the license plate illumination malfunctioned during the trip and you simply did not notice the problem, but in most cases this does not help. It is much better to try to avoid such situations and simply monitor the serviceability of the license plate illumination of the VAZ 2110, VAZ 2111, VAZ 2112, Lada “Ten”.

On VAZ 2112 with a hatchback body and VAZ 2110 with a sedan body, the license plate lights are installed in the rear bumper niche.

On a VAZ 2111 station wagon, the license plate lights are installed under the decorative trim of the trunk door.

When installing or checking electrical connections, be sure to pay attention to the connection of the ground wire. In many cases, due to contact oxidation, one or another electrical malfunction occurs.

The entire operation of this system depends on the quality of the harness. This harness has excellent quality, increased strength and wear resistance, and is installed on the assembly line when assembling a production car.

Dear customers, if you did not find the marking of your harness in the list, then when placing an order in the “Basket” in the “Order Comments” field, you can indicate the number of the desired harness.

The easiest way is to look at the markings of the old harness and order the same one. We have all.

If this is not possible, you need to provide the following data: make, year of manufacture of the car.

Other article numbers of the product and its analogues in catalogues: 21100372421400.

Lada Samara / Lada Samara / VAZ 2113, VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115, VAZ 2110, VAZ 2111, VAZ 2112.

Any breakdown is not the end of the world, but a completely solvable problem!

Possible fine

It is impossible for additional lighting to be installed in front of the license plate. There is even an article that talks about this. That's right, the article indicates exactly the front number. Therefore, traffic police officers do not have the right to fine people for having a backlight installed on the rear license plate. Bulbs for room illumination can be easily installed right at home and with your own hands. Just before you do this, you need to think about everything, since there is a chance of getting a fine, the price of which can be several times higher than the price of the light bulbs themselves. If, nevertheless, it was decided that light bulbs need to be installed, then it is worth reviewing various photos and videos. If you come across instructions on a given topic along the way, you shouldn’t discard it.

Replacing the license plate light on a Lada Priora car is carried out in case of damage, as well as when carrying out other work in which its presence will interfere with the progress of their implementation. Prepare a standard set of tools and perform the following sequence of actions:

First of all, it is necessary to de-energize the car to prevent the formation of a possible short circuit during dismantling by disconnecting the minus terminal from the battery.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the screws and remove the decorative trim of the trunk lid lock.
Next, use a socket wrench to unscrew the nuts securing the trunk lid trim.

Remove the trim.
Slide the license plate light to the side until it comes out of the mounting slots and can be removed.

We remove the flashlight from its mounting socket and, having pressed the plastic lock, disconnect the block with the power wires from it.
Carry out the necessary repairs or replacement, then install in the reverse order.

At this point, the repair work to replace the license plate light on the Lada Priora car has been completed.

A common malfunction of vehicle exterior lighting devices is the failure of the rear license plate illumination. There are many reasons for this:

Burnout of lamps or damage to their filaments due to vibration and shaking. The simultaneous burnout of all backlight lamps, if there are more than one of them, as on most cars, may be indirect evidence of incorrect operation of the generator - increased voltage in the on-board network. It is recommended to compare it with the normal one for a given car model. But we must take into account that the relatively high voltage in the on-board network (14.6-14.7 V), characteristic of many car brands, is not a malfunction, but significantly reduces the life of low-quality incandescent lamps, and they can often burn out;
Miscalculations in the aerodynamics of the car, leading to heavy contamination of the installation area of the license plate lights. Liquid will sooner or later begin to leak through the lampshade seals, leading to corrosion of the contacts. Such defects for many car models, for example, the VW Transporter T5, are so frequent that the structures can be transferred from the status of “childhood diseases” to “chronic”;

The license plate backlight does not light up due to a break in the wires at the point where they bend when the body element on which the license plate is attached, the trunk lid, the fifth door, and so on, moves. As a rule, this malfunction is typical of fairly old cars with hardened wiring insulation, which is more prone to fractures. Both the power wire and the ground wire (ground) can be damaged.
If there is a short circuit in any circuit powered by the license plate illumination through one fuse, the absolutely serviceable lamp will go out. You will have to look for a fault in this direction if all of the above reasons do not appear. On vehicles equipped with a towbar, you should pay attention to the contact group of the socket and the condition of the wiring of the trailer itself.

Basic lighting

In a standard way, on the base model the issue of interior lighting on this car is resolved quite simply:

interior lamp of VAZ 2114;
individual interior lighting lamp;
dashboard lighting.

There is also lighting for the glove box and interior lighting of the VAZ 2114, which includes illumination lamps for the front ashtray, heater switches and levers, and the hydraulic corrector scale for the front lamps.

The interior lighting is a simple electrical device. Built into the upholstery in the middle, upper part of the body, above the heads of the driver and passengers. It should light up when the doors are opened and go out when they are closed, a simple electrical signal is supplied from limit switches installed on the door pillars. The interior has switches on the front and rear side pillars on each side for manually turning on the dome light.

There are times when the light in the interior of a VAZ 2114 does not work. Such issues are often discussed on the forums of fans of this car. In fact, there should not be any special problems in fixing such a problem. There is a proven action plan in such cases.

Check the functionality of the lamp. If it does not light up, the fuse is faulty and should be replaced. If the brake light works properly, then the fuse is fine and you need to look further.
Check the condition of the light bulb, if it is working, then you need to check the contacts and limit switches on the door pillars. If an LED lamp was installed, then change the polarity; there could be a mix-up during installation.
It is necessary to measure the current at the contacts, whether it flows or not. If there is no current, then you need to ring the entire circuit; a breakdown in the wiring is possible.
The limit switches on the door pillars should be checked very carefully; experts and many of those who communicate on the forums say that this is where problems often occur. There may simply be a bad contact that needs to be adjusted.

How can you avoid a fine or evade it?

The law does not establish any possibility for a driver to avoid a fine other than receiving a verbal warning from an inspector.

At the same time, the traffic rules do not contain a list of reasons that can mitigate the guilt of the car owner and push the road service officer to do without a fine.

In practice, the driver has several opportunities to prove his innocence. If you did not know about the breakdown, then you should definitely inform the inspector about it.

Polite communication without trying to evade punishment or be rude to the traffic police officer will help you avoid more severe sanctions. You must promise that you will sort out the problem as soon as possible.

In late autumn and winter, when it gets dark early, the driver can also say that he is aware of the breakdown and is just heading to the service station to have it repaired. According to established practice, in this case, law-abiding traffic police officers do not fine the driver.

Not all cars can replace the license plate light bulbs yourself. If in your car the sign is illuminated not by a simple pair of incandescent lamps, but by a diode strip or other complex structure that can only be replaced by a master, then it will be easier to avoid a fine. You just need to point out to the inspector that it is impossible to correct the situation on your own and ask him to limit himself to a warning.

The instrument panel on the VAZ 2109 does not light up: do-it-yourself repairs, popular faults

Types of panels
Why doesn't it light up?
Popular faults

When the instrument panel on a VAZ 2109 does not light up, this is one of the common malfunctions of this unit. To fix a problem, you first have to find the cause of its occurrence.

Tidying up nine

Types of panels

Instrument panels on the VAZ 2109 are of at least three types:

Low panel;
High panel;
Electronic panel on nines with Europanel.

Europanel

On versions with a low panel, failure of the entire panel is extremely rare. This is due to the fact that here the speedometer and econometer are equipped with mechanical drives. Therefore, it is unlikely that they will fail along with the electrical component.

Dashboards with a high panel do not have an econometer, but the speedometer is also based on a mechanical cable drive.

Why doesn't it light up?

If suddenly electrical appliances and indicator lamps on the dashboard stop working, certain actions must be taken.

First, remove the cover of the mounting block and make sure that the fuse is intact. The fuse markings are located on the inner surface of the cover. You should look for fuse F16 or F5, depending on the year of manufacture of your VAZ 2109.
If the fuse is intact, be sure to check whether the contacts of the fuse you are looking for have not oxidized. It is not uncommon for shields to fail due to broken contact.

If none of the above actions yielded results, you will have to be disappointed. After all, now you need to remove the dashboard and check the condition of the wiring, contacts, and negative connections. Here it is better to trust a professional electrician or set aside a whole day to troubleshoot problems yourself. There is no need to rush here.

Where did the backlight go?

Popular faults

If we talk about the dashboard of VAZ 2109 cars, then they are characterized by certain problems. We will tell you about them, and also tell you how to act correctly in a given situation.

Gasoline level and temperature indicator does not work

In most percent of cases, this situation occurs due to breakdown of devices, sensors of these devices, or an open circuit of the power supply. Therefore, first check the circuit for continuity, make sure that the fuses have not blown. If this is not the case, check whether the gas level and temperature sensors are working. Only if none of the actions allowed you to get rid of the breakdown, you can begin to replace the devices themselves. No options, the problem lies in them

When the fuel tank is full, the arrow points to zero

If you have worked on the fuel level sensor, the fault most likely lies with you. When manipulating this device, the float limiter is often knocked down. Either the limiter is installed incorrectly or adjusted, causing the resistor winding to end. To resolve the problem, remove the sensor and then adjust the limiter again

The fuel gauge needle regularly jumps and ends up at zero

Here, most likely, the resistor has weak contact with the current collector. Another possible option is that there is a break in the resistor. To resolve this situation, we recommend replacing the hot level sensor with a new measuring device

The fuel level lamp is constantly on

If this lamp is constantly on, there is probably a short circuit in the fuel level sensor supply wiring to ground. Another option is that the sensor’s flexible bus is shorted to the fuel intake pipe. You will have to disassemble the device to align the bus and get rid of the resulting short circuit

Regulatory aspects

The Regulations of the Road Traffic Regulations state that every car must be equipped with special lighting equipment for the rear of the car, capable of being switched on when the side lights are operating. Accordingly, it must be activated in the dark so that the traffic police inspector can easily distinguish the symbols of the vehicle’s “mini-passport” from a distance of at least 20 meters.

The fine for the lack of illumination of the rear license plate and, accordingly, its unreadability is 500 rubles.

The possibility of losing your driver's license for a period of 6-12 months with confiscation of the lighting device is also present. The owner of a vehicle may be subject to such punishment for illuminating the front registration plate, since according to regulatory documents it must be absent.

Replacing a room light bulb

The essence of the violation

If the recorded violation of the motorist is associated solely with the lack of illumination as such, the amount of the fine will be the most significant, since in this situation there is a fact of a conscious violation of the current traffic rules.

Moreover, such a violation can be regarded as a deliberate obstacle to the performance of official duties by law enforcement officers.

If there are no lamps, the fine imposed on the driver will be 500 rubles.

In a situation where the lack of lighting is due to a breakdown of the lighting device, such a moment is also regarded as a violation. This is due to the fact that the driver has an obligation before driving the vehicle to check its serviceability and eliminate any problems.

Sometimes a violation in which only one of the two lamps illuminating the state license plate is faulty, and the light of the second is sufficient, prosecution can be challenged.

This is interesting: Features of decoding and hidden information in the marking of xenon headlights

This is due to the fact that, in fact, the accrual of a fine according to the current DD rules is not associated specifically with the breakdown of the backlight. This penalty is imposed for violating the norm - the license plate of the vehicle must be located in such a way and equipped with such additional means that allow it to be identified from a distance of 20 meters. In certain situations, such an indicator can be challenged on both sides - both by the traffic inspector and the driver, but, as practice shows, the lack of illumination rarely becomes the cause of a conflict - it is easier to agree with the malfunction and receive a warning than to challenge the drawing up of a protocol and receive a fine.

Grounds for punishment

The readability of a registration number means the ability of a traffic police officer to see and easily understand what is indicated on them from a distance of 20 meters. Lack of lighting, improper lighting, a light bulb that does not work or has burned out do not provide this opportunity.

If the rear license plate illumination does not work, you need to find the cause of the breakdown, after which the license plate illumination bulb is replaced.

Factors that may cause a fine:

lighting, the color of which does not comply with traffic regulations;
The number plate light does not light up;
non-working light bulb.

The reason for the fine may be lighting, the color of which does not comply with traffic regulations.

When a violation is detected by a traffic police inspector, in such a situation, even if the owner of the car corrects the problems, he will have to pay a fine, which is specified in the Code of Administrative Violations.

If you were stopped for the first time on the basis of non-compliance with the above rules, you can use one “saving” nuance - say that before leaving everything worked properly, and the inspector himself informed you about the problem. You will be given a verbal warning and given 24 hours to replace the faulty LEDs.

Lamps used in the VAZ 2110 recommended by the manufacturer

The VAZ 2110 car has long been known to Russian drivers. And this is not surprising, since its manufacturer is the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. It first appeared on the market in 1995, and production ended more than ten years ago. Despite this, the car is still often found on Russian roads today.

The VAZ 2110 is a reliable, comfortable, inexpensive to maintain and quite beautiful looking front-wheel drive sedan. If you compare the cost of consumables with foreign cars, you will notice a significant difference. The price of spare parts, fluids and other things for the VAZ 2110 is several times lower. It is also worth noting the efficiency in fuel consumption. A car with a 1.6 liter unit spends 8-10 liters of gasoline per 100 km. Quite playful and fast, acceleration takes 11 seconds.

Having become the owner of such a car, you need to know the type and power of light bulbs that the manufacturer has provided for it. Since periodically they burn out and require replacement.

but we're not talking about cheeks. I meant the middle of the stream groove. Where the inclined surfaces (cheeks) meet. If the belt lies there with the inner flat surface, it is scrapped. for starters, the belt. but usually the pulley too.

And I don’t believe that the belt will wear out the pulley like that.

I meant the middle of the stream groove.

, can you explain to me how a belt can wear out the middle of the groove of the stream if it (the belt) does not reach there? Or how should the belt wear out so that its thickness at its smallest is almost a millimeter?

By post. Cleaning the slip rings helped me.

Finally I got to the capacitor and poked it with a megohmmeter.

in its smallest part is equal to almost a millimeter?

I would like to see such a generator pulley. I've come across different designs, solid, collapsible, but all have the width of the groove for the belt in the smallest diameter, from 6 to 8 mm (VAZ 2101-7). Here is a drawing of the pulley, I drew it in red to estimate where the width of the groove will be equal to a millimeter.

How long should a pulley wear out?

At least I didn't have such a case.

Quite a bit, in geometric terms. An incorrectly tensioned belt (understretched, overtightened), dust, dirt, and the frictional properties of the belt itself wear out the metal. After all, the pulley cheeks are polished to a mirror shine. And grinding and polishing is a type of creative processing.

There have been cars with this problem even after 30-40 thousand mileage.

More often it occurs with mileage over 100 tons. It’s just that few people delve into it. They change the belt and pull it to hell. Moreover, the belt may (and often) not squeal, even immediately after starting. But under load it slips. The voltage is only normal, the battery is chronically undercharged.

But when loaded it slips

I'm more into imports

It also happened on old Incas with a simple wedge-shaped strap. On the pulleys are the genes for the power steering pump (just the other day I changed the pulley for the power steering pump on the 3rd Golf). With the poly V-belt, the problem practically disappeared.

How lighting works in cars

Before you begin to understand the possible problems of flickering lights, you should first understand how these lights work in your car.

All electronics of the machine are powered using a voltage of 12 Volts. To transmit it, a single-core wire is used, through which a positive charge is released, and a negative charge passes through the body of the vehicle. This power supply is supported by a battery, as well as a three-phase alternating current generator. Among other things, the circuit consists of a rectifier.
