Changing the light bulbs on the dashboard of a VAZ 2107

The control devices stopped working or they began to “confuse” the readings, the control lamps and lights do not light up - in this case the panel will have to be removed.

Preparing for work

Before starting work, you need to buy replacement light bulbs. You can choose standard ones with or without sockets, as well as LED ones. If it is necessary to replace the incandescent lighting elements responsible for the backlight, then you will need light bulbs of the AMN 12-3-1 (T3W) type. These are ordinary filament bulbs that are installed in the dashboard of VAZs from the factory. If it is necessary to replace indicator lights, then type A 12-1.2 elements are used. Are you choosing LED?

You don't need a lot of tools:

• flat screwdriver;
• Phillips screwdriver;
• pliers.

If you are going to disassemble the panel and repair it, you will additionally need:

• multimeter or probe;
• soldering iron from 40 Watt;
• solder and rosin;
• side cutters;
• small screwdrivers.

Removing the panel from the car

Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the plastic plug on which the heating sign is depicted. This plug is on the right, and under it there is a Phillips screw that needs to be unscrewed. (There are 2 screws under the plug, but only one needs to be unscrewed - the top one, which secures the right side of the dashboard).

Next to the hazard warning button, there is an odometer reset button, which is secured with a plastic nut. The nut must be unscrewed and removed with the washer located behind it. The button is recessed inside the panel.

The right side of the tidy is weakened at this stage, and it remains to perform several additional manipulations in order to completely dismantle the device. To do this, pull out the right side of the device, thereby freeing access to its rear part. Here you need to disconnect all the chips and wires to perform dismantling.

Initially, the power chips for the stove button are disconnected. Be sure to remember the location of the wires. It is recommended to take photos so as not to be confused when assembly is carried out. Next you need to disconnect the speedometer cable. It is secured with a special nut, which can be unscrewed by hand.

All chips connected to the dashboard are disconnected. It is almost impossible to confuse their locations, since they have different fastenings and differ in size.

The supply hose is removed from the economizer fitting. This cable is located on the left side of the device. After all the chips, cables and wires are disconnected from the device, you can dismantle it.

Determining what doesn't work

If the backlight of the VAZ 2107 dashboard does not light up, this may be due to the following factors:

Faulty incandescent lamps

This rarely happens, however, due to the fact that from the factory the lighting of the panel is realized through the use of incandescent lamps, their burnout periodically occurs. The problem can be fixed by replacing the lighting elements, or better yet, installing LEDs. To make a replacement, you will need to dismantle the instrument panel. This is not difficult to do, but it will take a lot of time to disassemble the shield. The panel contains lighting elements, which must be replaced in order to restore the functionality of the VAZ 2107 instrument panel lighting. Before replacing, you should first check the serviceability of each lamp. The design of the shield uses 4 main lighting elements, which are responsible for lighting, as well as additional ones that act as an indication. If you had to disassemble the panel, it is recommended to immediately change them to LED ones.

Brightness control

The malfunction may be hidden in the part that is responsible for adjusting the backlight intensity. Although this part fails extremely rarely, its malfunction cannot be ruled out, especially if it has been established that the incandescent lamps are in good working order and do not need to be replaced. The light brightness control is located directly on the right side of the steering wheel near the headlight range control. If diagnostics have shown that this particular part is the reason that the backlight does not light, then it should be replaced.

Circuit breakers

The search for the reason why there is no instrument lighting on the seven should begin directly with the fuses. These elements protect the circuit from voltage surges, and as soon as a large current flows in the circuit or a short circuit occurs, the fuse link blows. If such a malfunction occurs, replace the fuse and check the power circuit.

Absence or poor contact at the point where the chip connects to the power wire

The reason for the lack of contact may be that the chip is not tightly pressed to the terminal block of the instrument panel. Poor contact occurs when contacts become oxidized. You can fix such breakdowns yourself by cleaning the contacts from oxides.

In addition to the main faults, there are additional ones, for example, damage to the power cable. If you have a multimeter in your arsenal, then identifying such a malfunction will not be difficult. Even if you don’t have a multimeter, it’s not at all necessary to contact a car service to fix the problem; you can use a probe with a light bulb.

Dashboard lighting for VAZ 2107: what lamps are needed and how to replace them

In order to replace the lamps in the lighting fixtures of your car, it is not at all necessary to go to a service station and pay a highly qualified specialist. All operations can be done independently with minimal effort and money. Today we will talk about replacing light bulbs in the dashboard (DP) of a VAZ 2107 car.

Location of lamps on the instrument panel of the VAZ 2107

Before we start replacing the light bulbs, let’s see where they are located on the PCB board and what the VAZ 2107 is responsible for illuminating or indicating.

Layout of dashboard lamps on a VAZ 2107, where:

1. Fuel level.
2. Instrument lighting.
3. The direction indicators are on.
4. Engine control controller malfunction.
5. Exterior lighting is on.
6. Emergency oil pressure.
7. The parking (hand) brake is on.
8. High beam headlights are on.
9. Battery charge indicator lamp.

Removing the instrument panel and preparing for replacement

To change the lamps in the instrument panel, the latter will have to be removed. It cannot be said that the PP can be removed with one movement of the hand: the designers of the VAZ 2107 made dismantling a little more difficult than on other cars of the VAZ family. Nevertheless, dismantling the PP is quite feasible in a garage or even a parking lot. In this case, the operation does not require any special knowledge. The tools we will need are:

• small flat screwdriver or knife;
• crosshead screwdriver.

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 (the 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.

Replacing the instrument panel light bulb of a VAZ 2107

Replacing light bulbs on the VAZ instrument panel

In this video I will show you how to change light bulbs

in
the instrument panel
to LED! The classic is sick...

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 about 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.

Tips for motorists

When the instruments and warning lights on the instrument panel stop working, the driver of any car, including the VAZ-2107, becomes uncomfortable in the cabin of his car, since he will not have enough information that the instrument panel provides, as when starting the engine , and while driving.

The first thing drivers usually do is check fuse F10 (10A) , located in the mounting block and the condition of its terminals. If the fuse has not blown, then the cause of the failure of the instrument panel will have to be looked for in it itself. Therefore, we remove the instrument panel and in the left corner we look for two double black wires that are attached to the car body. This is “ground”, we check whether there is good contact and whether the fastening nut is tightened.

At the same time, immediately see if the pads are completely recessed, and you can also disconnect them and check the condition of the contacts. It happens that during installation they were bent, but due to vibrations they move away from each other and the instrument panel stops working.

But the most common reason for instrument panel failure is that the pins are attached to the instrument panel circuit board using rivets, and this connection is not reliable. As a result, the contact is lost, and the instrument panel stops working completely or works periodically, then turns on and off. This is especially evident in winter, until the interior of the car warms up, the shield does not work, and when a certain positive temperature is reached, due to the expansion of the metal of the rivets, contact is restored.

To eliminate this reason, you will have to drill out the aluminum rivets that hold the switching board and get to the connectors of the pads. Considering that the connector blades are riveted with copper rivets and not soldered, this is why contact is lost, which can be restored using an ordinary soldering iron. Then this disease of the instrument panel of the VAZ-2107 car will disappear forever. When assembling, you can use self-tapping screws instead of drilled aluminum rivets.

Removal

1. We prepare the car for operations (see “Preparing the car for maintenance and repair”).

2. Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery (see “Battery - removal and installation”).

3. Using a thin screwdriver, remove the two plugs for the screws securing the shield.

4. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws.

5. Disconnect the wires from the fan switch terminals. The top wire is blue-black, the middle wire is yellow-blue, and the bottom wire is red.

Advice. To avoid injury from the protruding plugs of the switch when disconnecting the speedometer drive cable, we recommend removing the switch by squeezing its latches.

6. Moving the instrument panel as far as possible to the left, unscrew the knurled nut securing the speedometer cable by hand and disconnect the cable.

Dimensions and instrument lights do not light up

Guys, tell me where to look for the problem.

The situation is this: a VAZ 2103 car, the dashboard from 2107 installed mirrors with dimensions and turn signals. connected the whole thing. worked without problems. but today an opportunity happened:

I went to work in the morning, turned on the headlights and low beams, everything was fine for 25-30 minutes, and then suddenly the instrument lighting went off. scales and sensors work, there is no backlight, and the low beam light does not light up. The lights on the mirrors and the front lower right hand light also stopped lighting up. At the same time, the remaining dimensions are on and the low beam is on. When you turn on the high beam, it lights up and the light on the panel also lights up.

I suspect there is a short to ground somewhere. tell me where and what to look for.

There is also a problem with the heated rear window. connected according to the circuit through a relay, power is supplied to the glass heating, checked with a tester. but - in 20-25 minutes of driving, only thin strips thaw from fogging (the thickness of the heating threads themselves is slightly thicker).

thanks for the help

Fuse box VAZ-2107

The VAZ-2107 fuse box is located in the engine compartment, to the right of the engine (if you look in the direction of travel of the car). It contains the main fuses and relays. To check whether any of them have burned out, you need to open the hood and the plastic cover of the block, on which the names of the fuses and their nominal values ​​​​should be indicated.

R1 - relay for turning on the heated rear window . If the heating does not work, check this relay, as well as fuse F5, replace the burnt or faulty ones. If the relay and fuse are working, check the contacts for connecting the wires to the heating strips on the rear window (on the side closer to the side doors)

R2 - headlight high beam relay . Works in conjunction with fuses F12 and F13. If only one headlight does not shine on high beams, most likely the problem is in the lamp, which is time to be replaced or in fuse F12 or F13 (right/left headlight, respectively)

R3 - headlight low beam relay . Works in conjunction with fuses F16 and F17. If the low beam does not work in both headlights, it is most likely the problem with this relay. First of all, replace it with a working one. If it doesn’t help, both lamps could have burned out (this happens) or their fuses.

1 — connector for the relay for turning on the headlight cleaners and washers . If your car does not have these devices, then the presence of a relay is not necessary.

2 — connector for the horn relay . In the figure, a jumper is installed so that the sound signal works without this relay.

3 — connector for the cooling system fan motor relay . In the figure, a jumper is installed so that the fan operates without this relay. Be careful with this connector. Failure to contact the jumper in the absence of a relay can cause the fan to fail, and this can lead to overheating of the coolant and, accordingly, the engine. When the first signs of overheating appear (according to the temperature sensor and boiling of the liquid), turn off the engine as soon as possible.

4 — tweezers for replacing fuses 5 — spare fuses 6 — tweezers for replacing relays

Try to always have spare fuses of different ratings, so that if they blow out on the road, you don’t have to look for the nearest car shop.

General tuning aspects

By tuning the dashboard of a VAZ 2107, you can change not only the appearance, but also improve its performance (video author - Auto overhaul).

For night time, the electronic instrument panel on the VAZ 2107 can be equipped with good backlighting. You can get creative and use overlays on the instrument panel to improve the appearance of the dashboard. You can make new scales for VAZ 2107 instruments yourself or order them printed.

If you have finances for a VAZ 2107, it is better to entrust tuning to professionals who will do everything efficiently and quickly. You can do it yourself, just be patient and if something doesn’t work, you need to look for the reasons and fix it.

The instrument panel does not light up on the VAZ 2107: causes and troubleshooting methods

If the instrument panel on a VAZ 2107 does not light up, then this does not have a negative impact on the operation of the car during daylight hours. However, very strong inconveniences arise at dusk. It is very difficult to drive a car at night if the dashboard lights are not working. We will consider in detail what could be the reasons for the malfunction of the instrument lighting on a VAZ 2107 car, as well as ways to eliminate them.

Instrument panel lighting

1. We disassemble and remove the instrument panel to get to the board with the lighting and alarm lamps. You can change them without completely removing it, but you need to act carefully so as not to break the wiring
2. Turn the light bulb socket that needs to be changed a quarter turn and remove it.

3. The lamp is pulled out in the same way as the socket - by turning it 90 degrees.

Video instructions for replacing instrument panel light bulbs on a “classic”:

In some modifications of the VAZ 2107, baseless lamps can be used. Therefore, it is better to check which ones you have installed, buy them, and only then disassemble the dashboard. Such a light bulb is simply pulled out of the socket without rotation.

You can buy it on the market together with cartridges for installation in a panel. In this case, it is enough to remove it from the “tidy” board and install a new light bulb assembly with a socket - simple and reliable, but they are more expensive.

The instrument panel does not work on the VAZ 2110: combination, pinout

Situations in which the instrument panel on a VAZ 2110 does not work are not at all uncommon for a product of the domestic automobile industry. Any car is not without sin, so car owners have no choice but to deal with the problems that arise over and over again.

Dashboard

Device

In this case, the instrument cluster on the VAZ 2110 includes:

• Tachometer;
• speedometer;
• Fuel level indicator;
• Coolant temperature gauge;
• Indicator lamps in the amount of 12 pieces;
• 6 instrument panel suspension lights;
• Reserve socket for control lamp;
• A pair of terminals for connecting wires.

Tidy pinout
As for the instrument panel, two types are used for the VAZ 2110 model. It all depends on the year of the car as there is an old version and an updated version.

1. In old panels, devices are located symmetrically.
2. The new instrument panel is characterized by two indicators being shifted to the right side - the coolant temperature and the fuel level in the tank.

Before you begin to solve the problem yourself, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the pinout of the instrument panel on the VAZ 2110. In other words, you should understand where which wiring leads, what it is intended for, what fuses are available, and so on.

All this can be easily found out using the information from the instruction manual. Having such visual literature at hand and the car in front of your eyes, you can correct typical dashboard faults without the help of specialists and special knowledge in electronics.

Problems and their solutions

Old and new sample
There are several common problems typical for the dashboard of the domestically produced VAZ 2110 model.

1. The instrument panel lights on the VAZ 2110 do not light up. Check the contacts and the condition of the wiring that is responsible for the suspension. The fuses could simply have blown, or the light bulbs themselves could have burned out as a result of wear and tear or a short circuit. In fact, there can be many reasons, so it is not always possible to resolve the issue in a couple of minutes.
2. The most serious failure for the instrument panel is a complete failure of the unit. In such a situation, all indicators stop working, the arrows fall down, and the warning lamps do not light up. To fix the problem, first check fuse 15, which is designated F6. You will find it on the mounting block. If this element is blown, simply replacing the fuse will not solve the problem. Look for the reason why it burned out. Usually this is a simple short circuit in the electrical network.
3. The arrows jump up and down. This is also a common phenomenon, the cause of which in most cases is poor ground contact: This ground wire goes to the partition that separates the interior and engine compartment, from the instrument panel. To get to it, remove the radio from its seat. Check the quality of its fastening;
4. Often, when installing an alarm system, the ground wire is moved to another location for more convenient access. Therefore, if you have an alarm system, but there is no wire under the radio, then look for it behind the interior trim near the driver’s left foot;
5. The ground wire may be damaged when installing a new audio system. When the minus is connected, the mass is unscrewed and then often mounted back, only not as reliably as it was originally. Due to vibrations, collisions with bumps and holes, the fastening weakens and contact disappears. Hence the non-functional panel. Do not be lazy to properly wrap the bulk wire, since poor fastening is often explained by the inconvenience of performing this activity.

As practice shows, most problems associated with the failure of the dashboard can be solved independently. Especially when it comes to a car like the VAZ 2110.

Improve yourself . Perhaps soon you will be able to change to a more expensive, modern car. Then solving the electronics problem will be much more difficult. The VAZ 2110 is an excellent simulator that allows you to carry out repairs yourself, understand the structure of the car, and experience all the delights of self-repair. It is important for any man to be able not only to drive, but also, if necessary, to repair his car.

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.

The instrument panel of the VAZ 2109 is not so complicated that you cannot figure it out on your own. But in the absence of experience, it is better to entrust the repair to specialists, or to enlist the support of a partner who understands this matter.

The instrument panel of the VAZ 2107 injector does not light up

One of the breakdowns that does not directly affect the operation of the car, but causes a lot of trouble for the driver - the backlight of the VAZ 2107 instrument panel does not work. During the day the problem is invisible, but at night the missing backlight significantly complicates driving your VAZ 2107. Because of this malfunction It becomes impossible to see the readings of the main instruments: tachometer, speedometer, econometer, fuel level indicators, charge level, coolant temperature.

The reason that the backlight of the VAZ 2107 dashboard does not light up is most likely the failure of incandescent lamps. Therefore, to eliminate it, you will need to replace the damaged light bulbs with new ones. The task is simple and requires a minimum of tools and skills. However, in order to access the bulbs, you will have to remove the entire dashboard. Armed with a flathead and Phillips screwdriver, you can get to work by first removing the positive terminal from the battery.

First, you need to remove the plastic handles from the heater valve and air damper control levers and unscrew the nut securing the daily counter reset handle so that they do not interfere with removing the VAZ 2107 dashboard.

Next, you need to use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the self-tapping screw hidden behind the plug next to the above-mentioned levers. The instrument panel is freed, it remains to perform a few simple manipulations to remove it completely and begin the repair:

• Unscrew the speedometer cable nut;
• Disconnect the hose from the econometer;
• Disconnect the three electrical connectors.

After this, we remove the instrument panel of the VAZ 2107 and begin replacing the failed light bulbs. Everything here is completely simple, we take out the burnt out ones and install new ones in their place.

Thus, on the VAZ 2107, both the backlight and control lamps are replaced. Their location diagram is shown in the following figure.

Here the number 2 indicates the instrument panel backlight lamps. The remaining lamps are control lamps:

1. Fuel level;
2. Direction indicators;
3. Engine control systems;
4. Turning on the side lights;
5. Engine oil pressure;
6. Activation of the handbrake;
7. Turning on the high beam;
8. Battery charge.

It should be noted that many car enthusiasts, having reached the instrument panel of the VAZ 2107, do not bother with trivial repairs and perform backlight tuning. To do this, instead of conventional light bulbs, LEDs of the appropriate size are installed. Thanks to this modernization, lighting works more efficiently. You just need to choose the right resistance (resistor) connected in the circuit in series with the LEDs. In addition, you can stick stylish scales on the instruments instead of dull standard ones. Another option for implementing LED backlighting is to install lighting elements not in standard places, but along the perimeter of the panel. This method requires large material costs, but the result is more effective.

Reassembling the dashboard is performed in the reverse order:

• The electrical connectors, the econometer hose, and the speedometer cable are connected in series;
• Install the panel in its regular place;
• Fix it with a self-tapping screw and put the plug in place.
• Put the handles in place and secure the daily counter reset handle with a nut.

As a result, the instrument lighting works, the task can be considered completely completed.

A purely informational entry may be useful to someone (I spent a long time looking for ways to solve this problem, but in the end what to do was suggested by an electrician I know).

I will describe the essence of the problem and the solution. In warm weather, no problems were observed, but as the temperature began to drop periodically in the morning, when turning the ignition key on the panel, the following did not work: Fuel level sensor, Temperature sensor, Check light.

As the interior warmed up, their performance was restored, but not always, and this began to worry me somewhat. After asking my friends about this problem, they gave me advice: You need to solder the contacts of the pads to the tracks on the board and everything will be restored. To disassemble the panel I had to drill out rivets on plastic pads.

After which all contacts were soldered to the board tracks.

And the plastic pads had to be secured with screws and nuts with a diameter of 3mm. After all that has been done in any weather and regardless of whether the interior is warmed up or not, when you turn the ignition key, all the instruments and light bulbs come to life and work.

I hope this entry will be useful to someone, although there may already be something similar here on the drive, but nevertheless I will publish it...
