Why the seat heating of the VAZ-2114 does not work
Concerns from the northern countries were the first to install heated seats on manufactured cars. At first, the function appeared on expensive cars, and then this will not surprise anyone on Russian vehicles.
Naturally, those who have already tried this option have only positive things to say about it.
At the moment, we will look at the reasons why the seat heating system on the VAZ-2114 may not work. The information contained in the article will be partly needed by car enthusiasts of other cars, therefore the mechanism of operation of the heaters is similar.
Let us immediately draw your attention to the fact that the process of troubleshooting is quite troublesome and will require you to have experience in carrying out repair work on the car’s electronic network and the availability of certain devices
Why do you need heated seats?
Having a similar function in a car is very necessary during periods of severe frost. Getting into a car that has been parked for a long time in the cold is unpleasant and unsafe for the health of the driver and passengers.
Overheating of seats also poses a danger to human health and to the car.
There are many articles on the Internet about the benefits and harms of heating. Let's dot all the i's. Driving for a long time with the heater on can have a bad effect on ladies and guys. Accordingly, it is recommended to use this option consciously in order to protect yourself from cystitis or prostatitis.
General rules for using heating:
- Do not allow the seats to become significantly overheated.
- When it's cool, turn on the heating and don't sit on them for a while.
- Once the seats have been warmed up, turn off the system. Next, heat the interior with a stove.
- You cannot stay in the salon in warm clothes for a long time.
Following these rules will help you protect yourself from overheating and not harm yourself.
Operating principle of heated seats
The heating elements are treated with a special coating that insulates them from direct contact with the upholstery. There are designs with one or two heating elements. The heaters are connected to the vehicle's electronic network through a control unit. Some system models allow you to adjust the temperature.
Next to the heater there is a sensor that controls heating. When the desired temperature is reached, the system turns off the power. There may also be a function for automatically maintaining the heating level, which is set by the driver. Other systems are timer controlled.
Built-in devices with 2 elements can provide rapid heating, after which the system switches to the lowest power and lowest heating. The number of modes depends on the heater model.
Possible malfunctions with heated seats
The heating device must have a fuse. On the VAZ-2114, two such elements are responsible for the measured heating operation. One fuse is located in the mounting block (F16), the other is located under the dashboard.
If you notice that the control lamps do not light up when the heating is turned on, the problem most likely lies in the fuses.
Relay problems:
- The system is turned on in an electromagnetic relay, which is located under the dashboard.
- After the unit is triggered, check the voltage at terminal 87 with a multimeter.
- If operation does not occur, then you need to examine the relay winding at terminals 86 and 87 with an ohmmeter.
- If the problem lies in the relay, it needs to be replaced.
- It is necessary to check the power with the power off at the connectors under the seats.
- The black wire is the ground of the car, the second is the power supply, which should have 12 volts.
- Use an ohmmeter to check the resistance of the heater windings. As practice shows, the problem most often lies here. The windings burn or break.
Depending on the situation, the problem with heated seats can be solved independently. However, this requires disassembling the chairs.
To summarize the article, we note that we have not considered all the possible reasons why heated seats may not work. But using the information above, you will know which direction to go to identify the problem.
If you have experience in carrying out such a repair plan, then finding the problem will not be difficult for you. Otherwise, we recommend contacting a specialist.

How to make built-in heated seats with your own hands?
Installing a seat heating system
First, you need to purchase the so-called backbone of the entire structure - heating elements. Why buy and not make it yourself? The issue is your safety. Since the elements are built-in, and any inaccuracy in independent work cannot be identified and eliminated in a very short safe period of time, it is better and more reliable to use ready-made elements. Their selection is quite large. We will focus on domestic (Russia), the quality of products of which is not inferior to reliable Germans, and the price is much more pleasant.
Included in this set you will find an electronic temperature controller and overheat protection.
The heating element in Emel is represented by reinforced cable or carbon fiber.
Additionally you will need:
- Screwdriver Set,
- wrenches for disassembling the chair,
- plastic clamps,
- scissors,
- knife with replaceable blades,
- insulating tape,
- multimeter,
- heat shrink tubes,
- pliers, marker,
- soldering iron,
- double-sided tape (you can use glue 88),
- stranded wire 2.5 mm sq. cross section - for wiring.
First, decide on all the control buttons and their fastenings, so that if necessary (suddenly they don’t fit in their regular place), purchase the ones that are suitable for this car.
Now we can get down to business.
- Disassemble the seats: start with the headrest, then remove the plastic elements, then the seat upholstery, making room for laying heating mats. To remove the “back” trim, remove the plastic bushings for the headrests.
Place the sheet with heating elements on the seat foam, marking its dimensional contours with a marker. Following the marked lines, stick on strips of double-sided tape or use glue 88. If there is a temperature sensor, also install it on the foam rubber. Glue (attach) heating mats to the designated area on the seats
Here you should pay special attention to the location of the wires. Don’t forget that they should be on the right on the driver’s seat, and on the left on the passenger seat
Remove the power wires.
- Install the “original” skin on the supplemented foam base, using plastic clamps in the required places. Also return all plastic elements, headrests to their original position and install the seats in their original places. The wiring should be laid in the locations where the power connections and controls are located.
A very important point: the wires going to the heating mats from the regulators cannot be laid under tension; leave such a margin that you can easily move the chair away if necessary.
It's time to connect the heating elements. The instructions included with the installation kit should help you with this issue. If it is not an assistant for you in connecting the unit to the on-board network, it would be better and more correct to turn to professionals for help
If you are confident in the correctness of your actions and are ready to try to figure out this stage yourself, we recommend that you pay attention to certain recommendations:
- It is necessary to detect the power (12V), ignition and backlight circuits using a multimeter.
- Connect the positive wire of the thermal relay to the ignition switch connector, where power appears only after turning the key.
- Connect the power wire to the positive terminal of the battery through a fuse.
- Connect the negative wire to ground, and the button backlight wire to the cigarette lighter contacts.
- All connections, of course, must be soldered and insulated. Then you can check the system.
An important point: a correctly assembled system will only work when the ignition is turned on. Otherwise, you risk not starting the car someday.
Only one question remains unclear: what to do with the rear sofa and its heating? For those who constantly travel with their family in a car, this is a very important point. But there is nothing complicated here either: installation and connection of the rear seat heating system is similar to that described above. The only difference is that for one sofa you will need two sets of heating elements.
Dismantling works
Installing a heated seat system
To install the heating elements, you first need to carry out a dismantling procedure. It includes the following activities.
- Unscrew the plastic fasteners that connect the seats to the body of your car.
- Remove the skids. Two pieces are located in front, and two more are located in the back.
- Remove the chairs from the interior, otherwise it will be extremely uncomfortable to work.
- Separate the back from the chair. To do this, there are bolts on the sides, which can be removed with a 10 mm wrench.
- On the back there is a plug for the headrests, which can be removed.
- The upholstery is removed from the hooks below. To do this, the hooks are slightly unbent.
- Now you can completely remove all the trim.
- Carry out a similar procedure with the second seat if you plan to install heating on it too.

Installation of heating elements
Many people forget about the need to securely fix the elements responsible for heating the seats. As a result, over time they can shift, thereby disrupting the performance of the system.
To avoid such situations, experts advise sewing heating elements directly to the inside of the upholstery. Although today some car owners prefer another option, which uses double-sided tape. The elements are held on it quite reliably, and the tape is attached to the foam rubber itself.
Connection process
Regardless of the chosen fixation method, reverse assembly looks the same for all options. This is the most difficult stage, so strictly adhere to the specified sequence of operations.
Pull the covering back onto the back, where the heating was already fixed. Using a mallet, the plugs are driven into place. We are talking about plugs for headrests. Next, the fabric is stretched. The front one is pushed through the hole, and the back one is straightened down. The fabric from the front is draped over the hooks and then stretched
Just watch the degree of tension so that the fabric does not tear. Now you can put the rear trim element on the hooks. The next step is to insert the wire into the front and tension the sheathing. If you plan to change the foam rubber, cut out the new elements in strict accordance with the dimensions of the old material. Pay attention to the areas where the spring contacts the body and seat ties. To avoid squeaks, use pieces from the washer tube, or simply wrap several layers of electrical tape. Heating for the lower part of a car seat is often mounted using double-sided tape or sewn to the trim on the inside.
You can use plastic clamps or wire brackets, which will prevent the heating elements from moving from their installation locations. After this, the plastic fasteners are tightened. Connect the backrest and seat. A wire is pulled through the hole in the frame and the foam rubber, with which the heating will be connected to the on-board network. The wiring connection is carried out strictly according to the diagram. It is necessarily included with the set of heating elements, so you don’t have to look for anything additional. The standard location for installing heating on and off buttons is the area near the handbrake. Although you can place them as you wish. It’s not uncommon for car owners to take an alternative route, installing a standard heating system on top of the seats, after which they put car covers on top.
There is a modern and very simple solution - heated capes that can be put on in winter and removed during warm periods. Their disadvantage is that the wire runs freely, which can interfere with the driver. Plus the capes do not fit tightly to the chairs.

Heated seats VAZ 2114: considering options
In the cold season, it can be very uncomfortable in a car without such a useful option as heated seats. Unfortunately, in older models of domestic cars, for example, the VAZ 2114, the manufacturer does not provide this option. But it is quite possible to install heated seats 2114 yourself. This will be discussed in today's article.
Heated seats VAZ 2114
Case – “cloak”
The easiest way to make your interior seats warm is to add an outer cover. You can purchase overhead covers at almost any auto store. The pads are made from ordinary dense fabric, inside of which heating elements are sewn.
A more expensive option is covers made of rubberized fabric; they will last longer than the first option. These “capes” are attached simply – just pull them over the seats and attach them to the springs. The heating elements operate from the cigarette lighter.
Heated cape VAZ 2114
Despite the simplicity and cheapness of the method, heating the seats of the VAZ 2114 using a “cowl” cover has several disadvantages:
- The covers can only be placed on the front seats.
- The cigarette lighter will always be busy.
- The product does not have temperature controls, so your seat may become uncomfortably hot.
There is another interesting option - putting new covers on the seats with sewn-in heating elements. This method is good because it allows you to transform the interior of the car, making it more representative, especially if the new covers are made of genuine leather.
Heated cover for VAZ 2114
Compared to a simple seat cover, such covers have a number of advantages:
- The heating is connected to the vehicle's on-board system and does not occupy the cigarette lighter.
- You can retighten both the front and rear covers.
- Ability to regulate temperature.
Well, you can’t avoid the downsides. The most important thing is that the cost of purchasing the covers will cost a pretty penny.
Standard heating
Standard heated seats on the VAZ 2114 are the best option of all. You just need to buy a seat heating kit from a dealer or a specialized store that sells original spare parts for VAZ.
To install, you need to remove the trim from the seats, glue the heating element, embed the VAZ 2114 seat heating buttons, run all the electrical wires and put the trim back on.
Set for heated seats VAZ 2114
If you don’t have the opportunity to buy standard heating, it doesn’t matter. Modern manufacturers offer good options for third-party heated seats.
We make standard heated seats with our own hands
To work, you need to first prepare the following set of tools:
- various screwdrivers and wrenches;
- multimeter;
- insulating tape;
- felt-tip pen or marker;
- soldering iron;
- construction knife;
- pliers;
- glue;
- clamps and heat-shrinkable tubes.
Do-it-yourself heated seats for VAZ 2114
Once all the tools and materials are ready, you can start working. First you need to dismantle the chairs and place them in a convenient place. Then completely disassemble them, removing all plastic elements and casing. Place the heating fabric on the seat foam and use a felt-tip pen to make marks along the contour. Using glue, fix the heating fabric along the marks.
Installation of heating elements
Then you need to remove all the power wires and put on the casing. Now the seats can be attached to their places in the car and the power connected. Ideally, connecting the heating elements to the on-board system should be done by an electrician.
Connecting heated seats
But, in principle, you can try to do this work yourself:
- Using a multimeter, you need to find the 12 V power supply, ignition and backlight circuits.
- Connect the wire (+) of the thermal relay to the ignition switch.
- Connect the power cable to the positive terminal of the battery.
- Connect the negative wire to ground.
- Solder all wire connections using a soldering iron and wrap with electrical tape.
- Check the operation of the system.
Below is a diagram of connecting the heated seats of the VAZ 2114 for the Emelya kit.
Keep in mind that the circuit must be assembled in such a way that it only functions when the ignition is on. If you assemble it incorrectly, then forgetting to turn off the heated seats at night, in the morning you will find a completely discharged battery.
Conclusion
It doesn’t matter if the manufacturer of your car hasn’t bothered with such a function as heated seats. With the help of our advice, you will solve this problem yourself.

Connection diagram for heated seats of Priora
Good afternoon everyone, the day has finally come when at 9:00 am I went to a friend’s service center to install the standard heated seats, which I wrote about in the first part of the blog. My father and I installed the heating; the service kindly provided us with a warm box, for which we thank you very much. What is necessary:
1) Various types of wrenches (head 10/13 + open-end 10, flat Phillips screwdrivers, hammer) 2) Pliers, wire cutters, 3) Heat shrink, wires (4 pcs. 15A (no one forbids you to take a larger cross-section)), ground terminal, repair kit for the relay (4-pin) - it’s much easier so as not to isolate everything at the outputs from the relay, 4-pin relay, it doesn’t matter what the outputs are from (Kalina/Priora/2110, etc.) there are the same as the circuit of this relay itself, pants if anyone wants to use them, electrical tape, a “case” for a 15A fuse (why 15A, because “our” wiring is also 15A, put the one with a higher rating, it will melt first the wiring is then done before.) 4) the heating kit itself 5) plastic clamps for tying the wiring and laying it 6) multimeter
- this thing is simply irreplaceable, it will show what is where and how it was installed incorrectly 7) soldering iron, this is not for everyone, you can make twists everywhere
Installation: Let's agree to begin with that I took as a basis the diagram of a friend, the link to which I gave in the first part (here I will post a photo of the diagram I drew) 1) Unscrew the retaining mechanism of the front part of the seats (torsion bars be damned, and plastic holders); 2) We remove the tunnel, I think there is no need to explain how this is done, everything is quite simple and intuitive, the only thing is that if this is your first time, be patient or buy beer); 3) then the next topic on hooking up wires:
we connect the output to the seats with the chips on the right/left seats, we hook the blue wire with a soldered ground terminal to the bolt that holds the bottom plastic
(part of the tunnel)
we connect the yellow wire to the white wire
(comes from the cigarette lighter chip) - this is the backlight of the button block;
we lead the brown wire through the fuse to input 30 of the purchased relay
From the fuse box
output 87 with a pink wire of the high beam relay output 85 with yellow-blue (xy2 you will see this blue stripe but you can do it, I believe)) output 86 to the ground (I attached it to the stud above the fuse block (you will see in the photo))
Ps: all “outputs” are outputs from the relay we purchased!
How to route the wiring Your right, I routed it under the left side of the torpedo and pulled everything together with bundles.
The wiring is all done, we call, see where the treasured 12V is (should be on our brown wire that we pulled to the 30th relay output - with the ignition on) Why such dances with a tambourine, you can make everything simpler, you can! but this is an “extra” precaution to keep your and my car safe (it’s up to everyone to decide). All wiring.
Installation of heating plates under the seat trim (decided to get confused).
In general, nothing complicated, the main thing is to take care of your fingers, I’ll prick everything to hell on these hooks. 1) Let’s agree that I have “new” seats that I purchased from Avtovaz somewhere in the spring of this year 2) Due to the first point, the lower trim is easily removed (I have plastic clips on the bottom, we bend them and that’s it, the trim is generally removed ) 3) The back of the seat is a more interesting topic in terms of upholstery, there are hooks at the bottom that we bend (we didn’t break a single one) and remove the “perforated” fabric from them. Then the casing can be easily removed. 4) I glued the heating elements with double-sided tape, you don’t need more, you can sew them on if you’re really that worried about this. 5) From the part of the “podzhoposhnik” we disconnect the harness from the part of the back and insert it into the hole of the seats for this purpose 6) From the back of the seat we take the wiring down through the “joint” between the back and the seat 7) at the bottom we connect the terminal from the seat with the back and then with the button block (Look at the photo)

When cold weather sets in, every car enthusiast wants to drive his car in warmth and comfort. Many people are starting to buy all kinds of fan heaters that are inserted into the cigarette lighter and drain the voltage in the car. But the most experienced drivers, before the cold weather, begin to install heated seats for the Lada Priora.
After all, it is very harmful to sit on cold seats, and when the car has been parked for a long time, the cold from the seats increases significantly. And here it’s not far from illness; back problems will definitely make themselves felt after 3-4 such trips. But what about drivers who have a basic car and simply do not have heated seats? After all, as you know, heated seats on the Lada Priora are installed only on luxury trim levels. In our opinion, with our cold winters, it is simply necessary to install heated seats on all cars, and not make it an additional option, as automakers do. But those who bought, for example, a VAZ 2170, 2171, 2172 in the basic configuration should not be upset, because in our article we will tell you how to install heated seats on a Priora, including in the basic configuration.
But before we move on to installing factory heated seats, first let's look at the alternatives. If you do not want to waste time installing factory heating, then a special heated cape will be the ideal solution for you. The cost of such capes can start from 500 rubles and up to 2000 rubles. Of course, there is nothing complicated in installing such capes; just attach them to the seat using rubber holders, connect them to the cigarette lighter and you're done. But not everything is as good as it might seem at first glance. Such capes very often fail, since the thread in them is very thin and breaks very quickly from the weight of the driver. The second disadvantage is that your cigarette lighter will always be busy. The third disadvantage is the load from the heated seats on the cigarette lighter wiring. The fourth disadvantage is damage to the appearance of the seats. After all, you must admit that if you have leather seat covers and cheap rag covers are attached to them, it will look a little ugly. As you can see, there are both advantages and disadvantages.
Question/answer on fuses for VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112
We answer some questions sent on the topic.
Tell me, the left turn signal and high beam headlights on the VAZ 2110 stopped working, what could be the reason? Open the fuse and relay box, the contact may have come loose, move the wires, look and check, and if necessary, replace the fuses yourself.
Please tell me I'm already tired of it, the washer motor shorts, the light in the cabin with the clock and fuse F17 blows? Install a light bulb instead of a fuse, turn off all devices that are connected to this fuse. Turn on the ignition. If the lamp does not light, connect everything back one by one. Whichever one lights up, that's where the problem lies. If it lights up immediately, there is a short in the wiring.
Tell me what could be wrong, the reverse lights are dimly lit, if you remove one bulb, the second one starts to burn normally, put them back in place, both light up at half power. The brake lights on the same board light up normally. This problem is due to poor ground contact.
Why does fuse F8 melt? Look under the cover on the driver's side. If the catalyst was clogged, then the wires that go to heating were broken.
Why is the stove turned off, but hot air comes in? If the air is hot, but the switch is set to cold, then the electric drive of the faucet has soured.
The car starts only periodically when I turn on the ignition and the lights come on. I put the starter on direct and it starts. Tell me what is the problem? Place a relay between the lock and the starter, it won't help - it's the ignition switch.
Selecting a heating kit for installation
The assortment presented in stores is wide enough so that every customer can choose the appropriate kit for installation with their own hands. These are mainly products from German, Russian and Chinese manufacturers. As practice shows, German kits (for example, WEACO) are the most reliable; their only drawback is their high price. But they are absolutely universal, they can be used in any car, both in the front seats and in the rear seats. This heating has several degrees of protection against overheating and two operating modes.
As an alternative to German products, domestic production kits and Autoterm have proven themselves well. Their products are not inferior to German ones in terms of reliability, and their consumer qualities are also quite high. All models of built-in seat heating are protected from overheating by means of a thermal relay; they use reinforced cable as a heating element. Some models have an automatic shutdown feature when overheating.
Why do you need heated seats?
Having such an option in the car is extremely necessary during periods of severe frost. Getting into a car that has been parked in the cold for a long time is unpleasant and dangerous for the health of the driver and passengers.
Overheating of seats also poses a danger to human health, as well as to the car.
There are many articles on the Internet about the benefits and harms of heating. Let's dot all the i's. Driving with a heater for long periods of time can be harmful to women and men. Accordingly, it is recommended to use the option consciously in order to protect yourself from cystitis or prostatitis.
General rules for using heating:
- Do not allow the seats to become overheated significantly.
- In cold weather, turn on the heating and do not sit on them for a while.
- Once the seats have been warmed up, turn off the system. Next, heat the interior with a stove.
- You cannot stay in the cabin in warm clothes for a long time.
Following these rules will allow you to protect yourself from overheating and not harm yourself.

Hello! Don’t know how to connect the factory heated seats to a VAZ 2113 2114 2115? This article describes the installation and connection of heated front seats!
To connect the heating you will need:
1. Seat heating kit.2. Four contact relay: 1 pc. 3. Seat heating button: 2 pcs.4. Fuse holder: 1pc.5. Fuse 10 or 15A.6. A few copper wires and various little things for connection: terminals, electrical tape, heat shrink, etc.
I made a diagram and tried to describe everything in detail!
Attention! It is better to buy the heating separately, without components for installation. (It includes a set of all the wiring.) It will be cheaper this way, but all the wires will have to be sorted out (It is possible that only I came across such a set, but you will have everything okay), and the wires included in the set are complete nonsense
The wiring kit is designed for connection according to the standard diagram. I found the diagram on the Internet. Everything fits together.
But in reality it turns out like this:
PS: It’s been a year of regular use after connecting, according to the specified scheme, everything is working fine. There was one point: after about a couple of months, the heating began to turn off spontaneously, it turned out that the four-contact relay had failed, but it was my fault: I installed a used relay, and after replacing it with a new one, everything became good again. Install a new relay!

Some vehicles are equipped with a heated front seat system. The diagram for switching on the heaters is shown in Fig. 7.30.
The heaters are turned on by switches 2 and 6 (left and right seats, respectively). The heaters have built-in thermostats for electric seat heating. The thermostat contacts close at a seat surface temperature of (25±5) °C, and the thermostat contacts open when heated to a temperature of (31±4) °C. The temperature difference between closing and opening the contacts of the built-in thermostat must be at least 5 °C.
Why does the VAZ-2114 seat heating not work?
The function of heated seats on Russian-made cars has long been nothing new. This feature should be on every machine. With the arrival of the first frosts, more VAZ owners are wondering why the heating does not work on the fourteenth. This is especially true for those whose cars are parked on the street.
Concerns from the northern countries were the first to install heated seats on manufactured cars. At first, the function appeared on expensive cars, and then this will not surprise anyone on Russian vehicles.
Naturally, those who have already tried this option have only positive things to say about it.
At the moment, we will look at the reasons why the seat heating system on the VAZ-2114 may not work. The information contained in the article will be partly needed by car enthusiasts of other cars, therefore the mechanism of operation of the heaters is similar.
Let us immediately draw your attention to the fact that the process of troubleshooting is quite troublesome and will require you to have experience in carrying out repair work on the car’s electronic network and the availability of certain devices
Location of fuses on the diagram for VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112
Today we will look at the location of fuses in VAZ cars of the tenth family, namely models 2110, 21102, 21103, 2111, 2112. We will also show where the fuses and relays are located on the diagram and talk about the purpose of each of them and how to replace the fuses with your own hands. We will also touch on the most common problems with fuses among owners of these cars, diagnostic methods and replacement.
I would like to say that car electrical systems, in particular fuses and relays in the VAZ 2110, 21102, 21103, 2111, 2112, are quite reliable. The service life depends on operating conditions and timely diagnosis and replacement with high-quality components.
Let's figure out why fuses are needed in a car. First of all, they are responsible for the safety of the wiring and other systems of the machine.
It is important to understand that each specific fuse is responsible only for its task and in the event of a short circuit or failure, a fire is practically excluded. A specific fuse blows and this does not cause a chain failure of other systems
Depending on the problem of failure of any component or part of the car for which the electrician is responsible, you need to understand whether the car can be operated with this malfunction or not. The traffic rules contain a list of faults that you cannot operate a car with. If you discover, for example, that the headlights have failed or the wipers are not working at all, you should immediately correct the problem. Well, you can drive a car with non-working power windows. So…
What could happen?
It should be noted that heating problems in the VAZ 2114 can arise for various reasons, but they can be conditionally divided into two categories:
- heating is not provided;
- the air is heated too weakly.
It is quite possible to understand the problem on your own.
However, first it is important to understand where exactly you need to look for the root cause of the problem.
In particular, the culprit of difficulties may be:
- Airlock. Once in the area of the cooling radiator, air has every chance of moving into the thermostat. It is not possible to “drive” it out by starting the engine. You will have to add antifreeze to the pipe, thanks to which the air lock will quickly dissolve. Another, unspoken reason is lack of fluid. The antifreeze level should be checked at least once a month.
- Blockages. Quite often, the stove does not work due to the formation of blockages, which can be eliminated by dismantling and then cleaning the part. Immediately after this, the stove begins to heat up like new.
- Malfunction of the stove tap. It is quite simple to check the likelihood of this problem occurring - by tightening the cable located in the immediate vicinity of the pedal assembly. If the faucet does not open in this case, the only way out of this situation is to replace it.
- Broken fuse and relay. The simplest and at the same time unpleasant problem, which any technically savvy driver can easily cope with. However, determining why this situation has developed will be problematic. Most often, both the fuse and the heating relay fail due to a short circuit. But, if the driver wants to delve even deeper into the specifics of the problem, it would be more reasonable to move the car to the nearest service station.
- Motor failure. This usually happens when the car is used for a long time, and this component is rarely repairable. The most reasonable thing would be to simply replace it with a new element, having first checked the integrity of the remaining components. If everything is in order, you can purchase a new motor and install it in place of the previous one.
The heating system on the VAZ 2115 is standard. However, without sufficient skills and dexterity, you should not undertake repairs. It is better to entrust the issue to a professional who certainly cannot do any harm.
Summary
The technology for installing heated front seats on the Lada Granta consists of two stages: installing heating elements under the factory seat covers and connecting them to the on-board electrical network. The proposed electrical circuit organization scheme raises doubts.
The manufacturer of the branded kit suggests connecting the heaters directly to the buttons, and powering them from the alarm control button. Since the circuit is quite loaded, it is better to organize the heating power through two relays with a separate fuse. It is also advisable to replace the buttons - they do not indicate the operating mode.

Seat
We open the seat in front, 15 centimeters on the left (if you look at the seat from the front) and almost all the way to the right. We find a central fabric stretcher, which is supported by a metal rod, which in turn is connected to another rod in the center. It is more convenient to first unfasten the rod on the sides - there are hooks there, then unclench the central tie and release the rod. When we have gained access to the entire area of the seat, we find a through hole in the foam rubber in the back - we will route the cable through it.
If you plan to install a temperature sensor, it’s time to take care of a place for it and its wires, which can be conveniently placed in the cable of the heating element.
Dismantling
We begin tuning and repairs with the removal and subsequent disassembly of the seats, which is carried out as follows:
- We unscrew the plastic fasteners with which the seats are attached to the body;
- Unscrew the slides (2 each in front and back);
- We take the seats out of the cabin;
- Separate the backs. To do this, you need to unscrew the bolts on the sides with a 10mm wrench;
- Directly on the bottom of the seat you need to pull out 4 plastic fasteners and remove the trim;
- On the backrest you need to remove the plugs for the headrests. Then, at the bottom, remove the upholstery from the hooks, which will require slightly straightening them. Now you can remove the casing completely.
When making such repairs, it would be very good to wash the upholstery in a regular washing machine at the same time. This will not harm her, and driving a VAZ 2110 clean is somehow more pleasant.
Necessary equipment
To install the heating you will need:
- Special heating elements for the backrest and the seats themselves. Preferably standard ones, for the VAZ 2110. It is also possible to install heating not only for the driver, but also for the front passenger. Then you will need two sets. As a rule, a heating kit is sold immediately with heating elements for the two front seats, i.e. only 4 pieces. The price of a standard kit for a VAZ 2110 ranges from 1100 to 1300 rubles, the kit also includes wiring and on/off buttons;
Set of standard seat heating - Buttons that will be used to turn the heating on and off;
- Wires for connecting heated seats to the on-board network of the VAZ 2110;
- Tools: screwdriver, 10mm head;
- If your seats can no longer be repaired, then buy new foam rubber for them.
The next stage is the lower part of the seat.
- The foam in the seat will most likely need to be changed. New foam rubber will cost 500-600 rubles.
- To get rid of the unpleasant squeaking sound when the spring contacts the body, you can wrap a good layer of electrical tape. As an option, you can use a washer tube - it is more durable and will last longer.
- Using wire staples and plastic clamps, secure the upholstery, and secure the heating element in the same way as on the top of the seat (back) with double-sided tape.
- Assemble the back and bottom of the seat together, release the heating element wires through the hole in the foam. Connect the seat heating wires according to the VAZ 2110 seat heating circuit. In this circuit, the VAZ 2110 seat heating relay is a regular four-pin 30 ampere relay.
- The positive wire is connected to the blue-red wire on the chip on the back of the fuse box.
Check heating operation. As you can see, installing heated seats yourself is economical, quick and high-quality (after all, for yourself). Thanks to the installed heated seats, you will be provided with warmth and comfort on the most inclement winter (or autumn) day. Take care of yourself and be careful while driving.

How to make and install a heated car seat like a BMW with your own hands
As a prototype to demonstrate the process of installing a heater, a BMW car will be used, which by default has several design features, such as a pilot installed in the seat by the manufacturer itself. In addition, these cars have an unusual location for the airbag: they decided to place it under the seats. Another feature is the location of the battery, which is mounted in the luggage compartment instead of the usual place under the hood.
Of course, all this does not play into our hands, but thanks to a complex example it will be easy and clear how to bypass various kinds of obstacles when installing heating elements.
Installation of heated seats
We will look at installing seat heating using the example of installing standard heating. Since the installation of other heating systems will be similar to the installation of standard seat heating.
In order to install heated seats yourself, you need to remove the seats from the car and remove the upholstery from them. The heating installation will be divided into several stages.
- Removing the seats
- installation of thermoelements in them
- putting the seats back
Removing the seats
Tools needed to remove seats:
- Ratchet
- Head at "13"
- Head on "8"
- Head at "10"
- Screwdriver “+”, “-”
- Insulating tape
Seat removal process
Move the seat forward as much as possible and pull out springs 1 and 2
Using a ratchet with a head set to “13”, unscrew the seat mounting brackets
Using a ratchet with a head set to “8”, unscrew the seat skis in 5 places
Disconnect the seat belt sensor plug
We take out the seat
Next we move on to disassembling the seat itself and installing thermoelements
Installation of thermoelements
We bend the plastic clips of the seat upholstery and lift the upholstery up.
We slip the thermoelement under the upholstery and sew it to the foam rubber.
We stretch the upholstery over the seat frame and secure it with plastic clips.
Fold the backrest, pulling out the hooks securing the backrest.
These latches must be released
Remove the backrest adjustment knob. You need to pull the plastic gear towards you and it will come off.
Using a “10” socket, unscrew the bolt securing the gear to the seat
We bend the pins holding the backrest upholstery and remove it from them.
carefully bend the pins and remove the fabric
We slip the thermoelement under the upholstery and sew it to the back.
We stretch the upholstery over the back of the seat and secure it with clamps.
Connect the seat heating plug to the lumbar heating plug
We extend the same procedure with the second seat.
Button installation and connection
A simple diagram for installing standard seat heating in a Lada Priora
Connection
We drill holes on both sides near the air duct for the rear passengers' feet to bring out the plugs for each thermocouple.
Remove the cover for the seat heating button.
We insert the wires into the holes under the seat heating button and separate the thermocouple wires in different directions and insert the holes.
We screw the ground wire under the nut securing the central dashboard near the gearshift lever.
We stretch the positive wire to the fuse block under the central dashboard.
We connect the positive wire to fuse F11, this is the wiper fuse, power appears on it only after the ignition is turned on.
We insert the wiring plug into the heating button and install the button in its normal place.
- We connect the free plug on the seat with the heating wiring.
- We check that the connection is correct, that is, the right button should be responsible for the right seat. If it’s the other way around, remove the button and swap the wires.
- Installation of seats is carried out in the reverse order of removal.
We make standard heated seats with our own hands
To work, you need to first prepare the following set of tools:
- various screwdrivers and wrenches;
- multimeter;
- insulating tape;
- felt-tip pen or marker;
- soldering iron;
- construction knife;
- pliers;
- glue;
- clamps and heat-shrinkable tubes.
Do-it-yourself heated seats for VAZ 2114
Once all the tools and materials are ready, you can start working. First you need to dismantle the chairs and place them in a convenient place. Then completely disassemble them, removing all plastic elements and casing. Place the heating fabric on the seat foam and use a felt-tip pen to make marks along the contour. Using glue, fix the heating fabric along the marks.
Installation of heating elements
Then you need to remove all the power wires and put on the casing. Now the seats can be attached to their places in the car and the power connected. Ideally, connecting the heating elements to the on-board system should be done by an electrician.
Connecting heated seats
But, in principle, you can try to do this work yourself:
- Using a multimeter, you need to find the 12 V power supply, ignition and backlight circuits.
- Connect the wire (+) of the thermal relay to the ignition switch.
- Connect the power cable to the positive terminal of the battery.
- Connect the negative wire to ground.
- Solder all wire connections using a soldering iron and wrap with electrical tape.
- Check the operation of the system.
Below is a diagram of connecting the heated seats of the VAZ 2114 for the Emelya kit.
Keep in mind that the circuit must be assembled in such a way that it only functions when the ignition is on. If you assemble it incorrectly, then forgetting to turn off the heated seats at night, in the morning you will find a completely discharged battery.
Dismantling works
To install heating elements, you first need to carry out a dismantling procedure. It includes the following activities.
- Unscrew the plastic fasteners that connect the seats to the body of your car.
- Remove the skids. Two pieces are located in front, and two more are located in the back.
- Remove the chairs from the interior, otherwise it will be extremely uncomfortable to work.
- Separate the back from the chair. To do this, there are bolts on the sides, which can be removed with a 10 mm wrench.
- On the back there is a plug for the headrests, which can be removed.
- The upholstery is removed from the hooks below. To do this, the hooks are slightly unbent.
- Now you can completely remove all the trim.
- Carry out a similar procedure with the second seat if you plan to install heating on it too.
While you are installing the heating, throw the upholstery into the washing machine. This will not harm her, and the interior will look newer and nicer.
Installation of heating elements
Many people forget about the need to securely fix the elements responsible for heating the seats. As a result, over time they can shift, thereby disrupting the performance of the system.
To avoid such situations, experts advise sewing heating elements directly to the inside of the upholstery. Although today some car owners prefer another option, which uses double-sided tape. The elements are held on it quite reliably, and the tape is attached to the foam rubber itself.
Connection process
Regardless of the chosen fixation method, reverse assembly looks the same for all options. This is the most difficult stage, so strictly adhere to the specified sequence of operations.
Pull the covering back onto the back, where the heating was already fixed. Using a mallet, the plugs are driven into place. We are talking about plugs for headrests. Next, the fabric is stretched. The front one is pushed through the hole, and the back one is straightened down. The fabric from the front is draped over the hooks and then stretched
Just watch the degree of tension so that the fabric does not tear. Now you can put the rear trim element on the hooks. The next step is to insert the wire into the front and tension the sheathing. If you plan to change the foam rubber, cut out the new elements in strict accordance with the dimensions of the old material. Pay attention to the areas where the spring contacts the body and seat ties. To avoid squeaks, use pieces from the washer tube, or simply wrap several layers of electrical tape. Heating for the lower part of a car seat is often mounted using double-sided tape or sewn to the trim on the inside.
You can use plastic clamps or wire brackets, which will prevent the heating elements from moving from their installation locations. After this, the plastic fasteners are tightened. Connect the backrest and seat. A wire is pulled through the hole in the frame and the foam rubber, with which the heating will be connected to the on-board network. The wiring connection is carried out strictly according to the diagram. It is necessarily included with the set of heating elements, so you don’t have to look for anything additional. The standard location for installing heating on and off buttons is the area near the handbrake. Although you can place them as you wish. It’s not uncommon for car owners to take an alternative route, installing a standard heating system on top of the seats, after which they put car covers on top.
There is a modern and very simple solution - heated capes that can be put on in winter and removed during warm periods. Their disadvantage is that the wire runs freely, which can interfere with the driver. Plus the capes do not fit tightly to the chairs.
Option with capes
Health issue
Today, medical professionals are still actively arguing about the harm of heating seats inside cars. Some believe that heating is harmful to men's health. Others, on the contrary, consider this a normal and even useful addition to the car.
The decision is yours in any case. But we recommend not to get carried away with high temperatures. Just warm up the seat a little before you hit the road. And then turn off the system.

Standard heating
Standard heated seats on the VAZ 2114 are the best option of all. You just need to buy a seat heating kit from a dealer or a specialized store that sells original spare parts for VAZ.
To install, you need to remove the trim from the seats, glue the heating element, embed the VAZ 2114 seat heating buttons, run all the electrical wires and put the trim back on.
