Replacing the cigarette lighter light bulb of Kalina, Grants

How to properly remove the cigarette lighter on a Lada Granta

The presented photo report will show how to remove the cigarette lighter on a Lada Granta in order to replace or repair it. You will also find out why the cigarette lighter fails.

Why does the cigarette lighter on the Lada Grant fail?

One of the main reasons for the failure of the Lada Grant's cigarette lighter is a short circuit, which can occur as a result of a malfunction in the vehicle's on-board network or due to wear of internal elements. Also, removing the cigarette lighter on a Grant is also necessary to replace a burnt-out diode (light bulb) for lighting the socket.

Which cigarette lighter to buy

If you are unable to find the original Granta cigarette lighter, then an excellent alternative would be a spare part manufactured by catalog number DA5100F0109

How to remove the cigarette lighter on a Grant

First of all, as when working with any component of a car's electrical equipment, you need to turn off the power to the battery and only then begin to remove the cigarette lighter. Carefully bend the edges so that the plastic protrusions do not interfere, and release the metal cylinder. Then you need to remove the center console of the torpedo.

After that, use a screwdriver to press the upper latch on the green plastic case and try to pull the base of the cigarette lighter out a little. Now you need to try to disconnect the connector and completely pull out the cigarette lighter Grants.

Design and purpose of the cigarette lighter

The device is designed simply:

• metal cartridge with a nichrome spiral;
• button;
• plastic handle.

There is a special socket on the dashboard into which the cigarette lighter is inserted. When you press the handle, the device connects to the vehicle's on-board network. A current passes through the nichrome spiral and it heats up. As soon as the temperature reaches its maximum, the thermostat is activated, a click occurs, and the cigarette lighter returns to its original position.

In the first car models, the device was used directly for lighting cigarettes, but with the development of technology its use has expanded significantly. Currently, all external electronic devices are connected through it: vacuum cleaners, navigators, chargers, radar detectors, mobile phones.

Typical faults

The reasons why the cigarette lighter does not work can be different. One of them is a blown fuse. It may burn out due to connected devices, such as a compressor or splitter. To eliminate the problem, you need to open the mounting block, remove the burnt fuse and insert a new one. A regular 15 or 20 Amp fuse will do.

The second no less popular malfunction is the antenna contacts that are bent inside the device. If you use the charger frequently, the metal tendrils will unbend over time. To return the device to functionality, the antennae should be slightly bent using a flat-head screwdriver (video author: Andrei Che).

Repair and replacement instructions

If the reason is not the fuse and the antenna, then the device may not work. In this case, it needs to be replaced. Replacement is complicated by dismantling the plastic floor tunnel.

The replacement procedure for the Lada Kalan and Lada Granta Liftback is similar and consists of a sequence of actions:

1. First of all, you need to remove the battery terminal.
2. Then unscrew the three mounting bolts that hold the plastic handbrake lining.
3. Next you need to unscrew the handbrake switch.
4. At the back of the tunnel there is a self-tapping screw, which we unscrew in the next step.
5. Then we unscrew the fastenings of the floor tunnel from the side.
6. Next, remove the cover from the gear shift knob.
7. Now you can lift the tunnel and begin replacing the cigarette lighter.
8. Before replacing, you must disconnect the power.
9. Next, press the latches that hold the cigarette lighter, and you can remove it.
10. We insert a new part and perform the reverse assembly steps.

Replacing a broken cigarette lighter is simple; any car enthusiast can handle this procedure.

This video describes how to replace the fuse of a 12-volt outlet on a Lada Granta (video author - remgar).

Where is the cigarette lighter fuse located?

A common reason why a device stops working is a burnt-out protective element. The current strength in the circuit itself is precisely fixed, and its value should not exceed 15 amperes. When connecting powerful devices or a short circuit, the fuse blows, causing the VAZ cigarette lighter to stop working.

The fact that this particular element needs to be changed will be indicated by indirect reasons. The fuse is responsible for:

• sound signal;
• trunk lock;
• immobilizer, this means that if it fails, the owner will not start the car.

To change a non-working cigarette lighter fuse, you need to get to the mounting block. It is located in the cabin under the decorative panel, to the left of the steering column. The cigarette lighter fuse is held in place by five plastic clips.

1. We disconnect them and get to the rear space.
2. We take out the plug that attaches to the luggage compartment opening button. Now you can completely remove the panel.
3. We gain access to the mounting block, where tweezers are also located, allowing you to quickly pull out the protective elements.

The Lada Granta model has two versions of the fuse box - old and new. If the car is from the first years of production, then you will need to replace the element number F20. The mounting block diagram of newer models of the cigarette lighter fuse differs from its predecessor. Here you should change element F27.

The fuse must be rated 15 amps. When installing a protective element with high resistance, problems may arise. If the current in the circuit exceeds the maximum permissible value, the cables will melt, which can result in a short circuit or fire in the wiring and a blown fuse.

Reasons for failure of the cigarette lighter on the Lada Grant

A malfunction can occur due to various circumstances. Among the most common reasons why the cigarette lighter on a Lada Granta car does not work are:

1. Blown fuse. This happens due to connecting a large number of devices to the connector. The total power of connected devices should not exceed 180 Watts (15*12=180). Otherwise the cigarette lighter fuse will blow. AvtoVAZ models have different protective elements (Granta - F20/F27, Kalina - F18, Priora - F13). The fuse rating must correspond to the value specified by the manufacturer.
2. Poor contact. Over time, oxides or rust develop on the tendrils of the metal cartridge, resulting in a poor connection. To correct the situation, it is enough to remove the cigarette lighter, inspect the condition of its contacts, and treat them with a file to remove rust or oxides.
3. Broken wiring. Three wires come to the device, the soldering of which disappears over time. To identify the malfunction, you will need a multitester.

In the latter case, you need to call three contacts.

1. Red cable. Plus, responsible for heating the element. Comes to the battery through a 15 amp fuse.
2. Yellow. Plus, it is responsible for the cigarette lighter light bulb.
3. Black. Minus coming to the car body.

Other causes of cigarette lighter failure.

1. Burnt out metal spiral. There is a nichrome spiral inside the cigarette lighter, which can burn out and trigger the fuse. If there is voltage in the connector and current flows to the contacts, but heating does not occur, then the reason lies here. It is treated by replacing the cigarette lighter with a new part.
2. Failed backlight lamp. There is a light filter around the seat. Over time, the light bulb may burn out. The malfunction is eliminated by installing a working element.

How to replace a lamp in a cigarette lighter?

The socket is equipped with a backlight, which is very convenient. However, the lamp may burn out, after which it must be replaced with a working lighting element.

Let's take a closer look. How to do this in LADA Kalina?

1. Following safety traditions, we disconnect the battery.
2. We find a fuse block from which it is necessary to remove the fuse-link marked “F20”.
3. We “defeat” the screws that are designed to hold the transmission lever casing and the tunnel. For ease of operation, we recommend moving the transmission to the 4th gear position.
4. Now you need to pry the device, applying force to the green filter, after which it “comes out” out.
5. To disconnect the clamps, you will need to turn the element clockwise.
6. We proceed to dismantling the metal base.
7. Next, the housing must be removed (painted green).
8. We detect a cartridge. Naturally, there is a lamp in it.
9. Finally it can be replaced.
10. We carry out the assembly, of course, in reverse order.

How to remove and replace the cigarette lighter on a Lada Granta: photos and saw - Behind the wheel

22.10.2019

In this article we will analyze the reasons for the malfunction of the cigarette lighter on Kalina, as well as its diagnosis and replacement.

For smoking motorists and passengers, the cigarette lighter is a very important thing in the car, but it can also serve as power for the car compressor, power strip or charger.

If you find that your cigarette lighter has stopped working, there may be several reasons for this.

Why doesn't the cigarette lighter work?

Perhaps the fuse was blown due to too much load from the compressor, charger or cigarette lighter splitter. This is one of the most common and easily fixed problems. You will need to open the fuse compartment cover to the left of the steering wheel and replace the blown one. Typically used before. 15 or 20A regular flag.

Another common reason for the cigarette lighter not to work is the unbending of the metal contacts inside it. For example, you often use a charger or power strip.

Because of this, the contacts inside the cigarette lighter are unbent. In order for it to work again, you just need to bend them.

This must be done carefully using a thin flat-head screwdriver without shorting the contacts, otherwise the fuse will be blown out.

If you decide to completely replace the cigarette lighter, you will need to dismantle the console from the handbrake to the dashboard with the gearbox casing, only then can you remove the cigarette lighter.

Replacing the cigarette lighter yourself

• Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the 3 screws securing the plastic trim of the handbrake, then remove it and put it aside.
• Now, in order to get to the self-tapping screw securing the plastic console with the gearshift knob, you will need to unscrew the handbrake end switch.
• After this, you can freely unscrew all the screws securing the floor tunnel and the side part.
• Next, carefully remove it from the latches and pull out the gearshift knob casing and lift the tunnel.

We disconnect the block with a wire from the cigarette lighter and pull it out of the seat.

Now all that remains is to replace the cigarette lighter with a new one and reassemble in the reverse order.

You can make the replacement easier by removing only the gearbox cover and prying the cigarette lighter through the hole. This way we will save time.

How to replace the cigarette lighter lamp

1. After we have removed the cigarette lighter, we will disassemble it and replace the backlight lamp, if one is burnt out.
2. Removing the metal base of the cigarette lighter
3. We take out the green housing of the cigarette lighter, from which we remove the lamp socket
4. Carefully remove the A12-8 lamp from the socket and replace it.
5. Exactly the same lamps are used to illuminate the buttons and dashboard.

Replacing fuses on a Lada Granta car

≡ 5 November 2021 Category: Repair

The Lada Granta car has two mounting blocks: the first is located in the cabin and protects almost all electrical circuits of the car, except for the power ones; they are protected by the fuses of the power unit, which is located under the hood.

Let's consider replacing the fuses in the cabin unit.

Firstly, experts recommend disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery whenever tampering with the car’s electrical equipment. Then you need to remove the cover on the instrument panel, it is located near the headlight control unit. No special tools are required here, you just need to gently pull the upper left part of the cover with your hand and remove it from the latches one by one:

In the Norma and Luxury trim levels, below the headlight control unit there is a trunk opening button; when removing the cover, you need to carefully disconnect it from the plug:

So, the cover is removed, you can proceed directly to replacing the fuses.

The mounting block looks like this:

Connecting the cigarette lighter

Never connect the cigarette lighter to the ignition switch. The ignition system will not withstand such a load. Having laid the wire in the engine compartment, bring it to the positive terminal of the battery, connect the fuse and then attach it to the terminal. If for some reason you cannot do this, run a wire with a fuse to the starter and attach it to the positive terminal of the relay. Strip the end of the wire at a distance of 1 cm, place it on the terminal, then crimp it using pliers. Be sure to secure the wire so that it does not dangle anywhere. To attach the wire to the cigarette lighter, use a soldering iron or an appropriate terminal, depending on the device model. Install a fuse and a switch next to the cigarette lighter, this will increase the safety of using this device.

Do not confuse the arrangement of parts of the diagram:

1. Battery.
2. Fuse.
3. Switch.
4. Relay.
5. Cigarette lighter.

The switch must be designed for a current of 1.5 times the maximum load. If there is no such switch, attach a relay next to it that is suitable for the current. Some drivers place a switch and relay next to the ignition switch. Connect the switch to the control contact of the relay, and the cigarette lighter to the power one. To do this, place heat-shrink tubing on the exposed ends of the wire, then push and crimp the terminals. Adjust the tube so that it completely covers the junction of the terminal and the wire, then heat it with a match or lighter. You can also install a regular cable splitter (220 volts), which is sold in hardware stores. Find the nearest ground connection location (the wire is bolted directly to the body). Unscrew the bolt, clean the contact pads of the terminal and body. Route a piece of wire from the relay and cigarette lighter to the ground hole to determine the length, then cut and strip the ends.

Make a splitter - take a piece of wire of a suitable length, strip both ends. Then solder the ends of the long and short wires to each other so that they both point in the same direction. Protect the connection with heat shrink tubing, then attach the connection terminal to the negative of the cigarette lighter. Position the tube so that it completely covers the contact point. Place heat shrink tubing on the other end of the short wire and attach the terminal. Or use a regular cable splitter, which must be rigidly attached to the body.

Installation check

Check all connections carefully. The relay and splitter must be securely attached to the housing. After making sure that everything is in order, check that the ignition switch is turned to the off position and connect the battery. Using a tester, measure the voltage on the unconnected battery. Place the negative terminal on the corresponding battery terminal and measure the voltage again. If it hasn't changed, then everything is fine. If it drops by at least 0.5 volts, turn all electrical appliances on and off, including the ignition system. If the voltage does not rise, disconnect the battery and look for a short circuit. If everything is fine, turn on the switch and measure the voltage on the battery again. After making sure that everything is correct, measure the voltage at the cigarette lighter contacts. If everything is in order, you have successfully completed the job.

The cigarette lighter socket is rarely used by the owners of the practical Lada Kalina model for its intended purpose. Many people connect “charging” for mobile devices or other electrical consumers to this socket. Over time, the cigarette lighter becomes damaged and does not work.

Some Lada Kalina owners are disheartened by this “incident”, after which they furiously head to the service center to fix the problem. However, the breakdown is not quite as complicated as it might seem at first.

For repairs, the owner needs to stock up on the usual set of hexagons, as well as a screwdriver, pliers and a small soldering iron. And also study a small manual on how to remove the cigarette lighter, and then how to change it and fix the breakdown.

What are the reasons why the cigarette lighter does not work? How to repair it? Read about all this in our material.

Fuse diagram for Lada Kalina 1st and 2nd generation

AvtoVAZ engineers placed the mounting block on the left side of the car, near the light mode switch, behind the decorative panel. To get to the Kalina fuse box, you need to unclip the plastic clips that hold the cover static. Behind it is a control unit with protective fuses and relays.

The diagram of the first generation Lada Kalina is as follows:

For the next generation of the car, the electrical circuit was changed. Therefore, the device of the block on Lada Kalina 2 is different:

Advice from car enthusiasts and recommendations from experts

There may be a break in the backlight brightness adjustment circuit. The adjustment rheostat has a soldered spring - it tends to fall off. You can simply put a jumper, that is, bypass the rheostat, then the brightness will not be adjusted, or solder it back - you will need to remove the rheostat.

You can do everything yourself, everyone basically does it, nothing complicated, the main thing is to unscrew everything and not break it, disconnect the connector. And check the bulbs to see if they are all intact, check the contacts. Maybe some of the light bulbs have burned out and it seems that the light is getting worse.

I also had this problem. The backlight inexplicably disappeared and then turned on again. It's all about the cigarette lighter illumination. The contact shorts and the brains turn off the backlight. I unscrewed the cover under the gearshift lever and wrapped the wires near the cigarette lighter with electrical tape. All OK.

If the instrument lighting on the Lada Kalina stops lighting, then you cannot delay fixing the problem. This must be done as soon as possible. In most cases, it will take a maximum of 30–50 minutes to fix the problem.

Fuses and relays in Lada Granta

Fuses and relays in Lada Granta, electrical diagrams

If you bought a Granta and started having electrical problems, you may be faced with a manufacturing defect. But don’t be alarmed ahead of time, the first thing you need to do is check the fuses and relays in the Lada Granta and find out the cause of the malfunction. If you're lucky, you'll get away with simply replacing the fuse.

If not, you may have to go to a car service center or troubleshoot the electronics yourself. Remember - the main thing in such cases is to fully understand the problem, do not waste time on this, because any car owner should know as much as possible about his car (especially a domestic one).

Fuse box

The fuse box in Grant is located to the left of the steering column, near the light switches. To remove the cover and access the fuses and relays, pull the top left side of the cover towards you.

It’s made conveniently, everything is at hand and you don’t have to climb anywhere when getting up from the driver’s seat. Maybe this is a hint that they will often have to be changed, or maybe just convenience - the developers know better.

F1 (15 A) - engine control unit, injectors, ignition coil, cooling fan relay, short circuit 2x2.

If you have problems with electronics, and replacing this fuse does not help, in the worst case scenario, you will have to reflash the ECU or replace it. Also, if this fuse blows, the injectors and ignition coil stop working, which makes engine operation impossible. Therefore, if the Grant does not start, check this fuse first.

F2 (30 A) - electric windows

If they do not work and replacing the fuse does not help, try unplugging it completely or removing the terminal from the battery for a couple of minutes, then connect it again. In this way, all temporary errors should be reset and if this is the case, the power windows will work again.

F3 (15 A) - alarm. If it doesn’t work, check this fuse, as well as the emergency light button, its contacts and the functionality of the lamps.

F4 (20 A) - windshield wiper, airbag. If the airbag warning light on the instrument panel comes on, check this fuse. The problem could be either in it, or in the electronic unit, or in the pillows themselves.

If the windshield wiper does not work and this fuse is intact, also check relay K6, the power handle, the reliability of the connectors connected to it, as well as the electric wiper drive itself.

The cigarette lighter does not work on Lada Kalina: how to remove, replace and causes of malfunction

The cigarette lighter in a car is important not only for drivers who smoke; it can serve as an additional power source for various devices and appliances. However, like any mechanism, it can break. The article discusses its structure, purpose, and gives instructions on how to remove the cigarette lighter on Kalina, Grant and install a new one.

Design and purpose of the cigarette lighter

The device is designed simply:

• metal cartridge with a nichrome spiral;
• button;
• plastic handle.

There is a special socket on the dashboard into which the cigarette lighter is inserted. When you press the handle, the device connects to the vehicle's on-board network. A current passes through the nichrome spiral and it heats up. As soon as the temperature reaches its maximum, the thermostat is activated, a click occurs, and the cigarette lighter returns to its original position.

Heated coil for lighting

In the first car models, the device was used directly for lighting cigarettes, but with the development of technology its use has expanded significantly. Currently, all external electronic devices are connected through it: vacuum cleaners, navigators, chargers, radar detectors, mobile phones.

Today, the 12-volt socket of a car has become indispensable; its breakdown immediately causes a number of inconveniences.

Typical faults

The reasons why the cigarette lighter does not work can be different. One of them is a blown fuse. It may burn out due to connected devices, such as a compressor or splitter. To eliminate the problem, you need to open the mounting block, remove the burnt fuse and insert a new one. A regular 15 or 20 Amp fuse will do.

The second no less popular malfunction is the antenna contacts that are bent inside the device. If you use the charger frequently, the metal tendrils will unbend over time. To return the device to functionality, the antennae should be slightly bent using a flat-head screwdriver (video author: Andrei Che).

Repair and replacement instructions

If the reason is not the fuse and the antenna, then the device may not work. In this case, it needs to be replaced. Replacement is complicated by dismantling the plastic floor tunnel.

The replacement procedure for the Lada Kalan and Lada Granta Liftback is similar and consists of a sequence of actions:

1. First of all, you need to remove the battery terminal.
2. Then unscrew the three mounting bolts that hold the plastic handbrake lining.
3. Next you need to unscrew the handbrake switch.
4. At the back of the tunnel there is a self-tapping screw, which we unscrew in the next step.
5. Then we unscrew the fastenings of the floor tunnel from the side.
6. Next, remove the cover from the gear shift knob.
7. Now you can lift the tunnel and begin replacing the cigarette lighter.
8. Before replacing, you must disconnect the power.
9. Next, press the latches that hold the cigarette lighter, and you can remove it.
10. We insert a new part and perform the reverse assembly steps.

Replacing a broken cigarette lighter is simple; any car enthusiast can handle this procedure.

Cigarette lighter splitter: types and connection

How to find and replace the cigarette lighter fuse? 2 possible locations for the part

Sometimes it becomes necessary to connect 2-3 devices to the cigarette lighter, which cannot be done without a splitter, and, given the design features, it is not always possible to connect even a telephone charger normally. Well, since Lada Kalina does not provide other alternatives, it is better to use this one.

The most common type of splitter has 3 sockets plus one USB port. By connecting an inverter (converter of on-board current to 220 V), you can easily charge devices such as an e-reader, tablet computer or laptop on the road. The price of the device in question ranges from 170 to 300 rubles. Buying a power strip is much cheaper and easier than replacing a cigarette lighter.

You can, of course, connect the necessary devices to the ignition without touching the cigarette lighter. But here you cannot do without the hands and knowledge of an experienced auto electrician, and installation will take more time. There will be a lot of extra wires and additional fuses will be needed. However, some car owners consider this method more reliable for Lada Kalina.

It is, of course, better to use an inverter with direct wiring. But without it, a high-quality splitter will be enough. The only question is to find a really high-quality device. The splitters are structurally similar to any extension cords used in everyday life for sockets. But there are differences between different models, which do not always have a good effect on both their operation and the condition of the Lada Kalina’s electrics. Cigarette lighter socket splitters can be divided into three types:

• those in which the block with sockets is made in a single housing with a central plug;
• those in which the plug and socket are connected by a flexible connection;
• connected via a power cord.

Video “Fixture Repair”

Cigarette lighter repair is covered in detail in the video from the author Alexander Zagorny.

Poor performance of any piece of electrical equipment in a car should cause some concern and careful examination of all parts of this important unit in your car. If the cigarette lighter in the car does not work, you need to check the main wires, connections and equipment that are associated with this element

Often the cause of such a breakdown is the direct combustion of the cigarette lighter head itself.

This element of the automotive electrical system today is used not so much for lighting cigarettes, but for charging phones, connecting GPS navigators, recorders and other devices. The cigarette lighter is a full-fledged car socket if you have an adapter to connect your devices. Therefore, its normal operation must be ensured.

Diagnostics and fuse replacement

In addition to the cigarette lighter, additional components are connected to the circuit. On Kalina 2 of the second generation, seat heaters have been introduced into the circuit. In this case, both devices stop working at the same time.

Where is the cigarette lighter fuse located?

The fuse box in a domestic car is located on the left side of the center console. Next to it is a backlight control. The block is protected by a decorative overlay. To remove it, snap off the plastic fasteners holding the cover in place. On the reverse side there is a control module with relays and protective elements. The layout of these parts on the 1st generation Kalina is as follows:

• fuse 1 is responsible for the operation of the turn signals, the dashboard, and also regulates the operation of the engine blocker;
• No. 2 is involved in the operation of window regulators, it is necessary to prevent an increase in the load on the electric motor;
• under No. 3 there is an alarm relay;
• 4 fuse protects the windshield cleaning and washer system;
• part No. 5 regulates the operation of the furnace;
• Terminal 6 is intended to indicate the horn fuse;
• 7 part is involved in the operation of interior lighting devices;
• under No. 8 there is a glass heating relay;
• 9 and 10 - fuses for the right and left side lights;
• 11 — rear fog lights;
• 12, 13 — right and left low beam;
• 14, 15 — left and right high beam;
• 16 and 17 - right and left fog lights.
• 18 — seat heating;
• No. 19 is the ABS unit;
• part No. 20 - cigarette lighter fuse.

The arrangement of elements in cars of other modifications may differ.

To check the functionality of the fuse and the cigarette lighter unit, remove the protective element. If a break in the fusible core is detected, the part requires replacement. If there are no signs of malfunction, inspect the wires going to the cigarette lighter. They should not have abrasions or bends.

When using the car for a long time or using electronic devices incorrectly, short circuits occur and cables burn out.

The wires are ringing, measuring resistance. When a zero or one appears, it means a breakdown.

Why does it burn so often?

The main reason for frequent fuse blowing is improper use of the cigarette lighter socket. The fuse constantly fails when connecting too powerful devices. An equally common malfunction is considered to be short circuits that periodically occur in the circuit.

Components of the Lada electrical network.

The Lada Kalina vehicle has three working groups responsible for the safety of the wiring: installation, main and additional. It is customary to place fuses in a certain group. Group arrangement of devices allows for greater security of the on-board network. In the event of a malfunction of one of the devices, the rest of the on-board network continues to operate without interruption.

Important! Before carrying out work, it is necessary to turn off the battery power to avoid injury. During diagnostics, strictly follow the safety requirements when working with the vehicle’s on-board network. The mounting block is located near the steering column

On a Lada Kalina car, the mounting block is located on the left side of the dashboard. In order to correctly diagnose the unit, it is necessary to analyze in detail the diagram provided by the manufacturer. The block diagram allows you to determine the dependence of a specific on-board network device on a specific fuse. Having identified the fuse responsible for the correct operation of a particular device, it is necessary to begin diagnostics. If during the inspection it was revealed that the fuse is faulty, it should be replaced with a new one.

If during the inspection it was revealed that the fuse is faulty, it should be replaced with a new one.

The installation group is the most important part of the power supply to vehicle consumers. Among the devices for the correct operation of which the mounting block is responsible are the following: power mirrors, light and sound alarm signals, windshield wipers, dimensions, fog lights, low and high beams, security system controller and electric power steering (if equipped) .

In the main group there are fuses responsible for the electronic control system of the internal combustion engine. The main fuse group diagram includes the following elements: test connector, fuses - main relay, electric fuel pump relay and ECU fuse.

An additional group is located in the Lada Kalina car under the dashboard. For ease of work, you can unscrew the fasteners of the block and dismantle it. The additional group circuit includes the following components: electric cooling fan relay, electric fuel pump relay, electric cooling fan safety element and main relay.

Faulty Lada Kalina relays require replacement just like other network components. Relays and network safety devices should only be replaced after the causes of the malfunction have been identified. When replacing, it is necessary to use elements recommended by the Lada Kalina manufacturer. Since each component of a safety electrical network is designed to carry an optimal amount of current, the use of a foreign element can lead to malfunction of the electrical appliance.

The power supply unit of the Lada Kalina has a fairly simple and understandable design. If you have the appropriate diagram, any car enthusiast can handle servicing the power system. Replacing block elements is a simple but very important procedure. After all, the successful operation of all electrical devices in the car directly depends on the safety of the fuses. Timely replacement of the unit elements will restore the operation of the device and restore the safety of the machine’s on-board network.

Happy fuse replacement!

No car owner is insured against problems with the electrical equipment of his car. At least once such a problem can arise for anyone, even the most attentive car owner. Most likely, it is associated with the failure of the fuses.

Causes of cigarette lighter socket failure

The experience of the owners allowed us to narrow the range of “suspected” factors, the impact of which could harm the cigarette lighter socket.

1. A short circuit that may suddenly occur in the on-board network of the Lada Kalina. This negative phenomenon occurs due to various circumstances, usually appearing after unprofessional intervention in the electrical part. For example, after:

• improper installation and connection of the security system;
• the battery becomes unusable;
• penetration of moisture to open contacts;
• incorrect installation of non-standard electrical appliances, multimedia, etc.

2. Damage to the heating element due to overheating. The risk of spiral breakage cannot be ruled out.

3. Instability of the electrical contact in the outlet itself, mainly after oxidation.

4. Connection of additional current collectors. This action often causes an increased load on the fuse link, as a result of which its working element burns out.

how to remove, replace and causes of malfunction

Design and purpose of the cigarette lighter

The device is designed simply:

• metal cartridge with a nichrome spiral;
• button;
• plastic handle.

There is a special socket on the dashboard into which the cigarette lighter is inserted. When you press the handle, the device connects to the vehicle's on-board network. A current passes through the nichrome spiral and it heats up. As soon as the temperature reaches its maximum, the thermostat is activated, a click occurs, and the cigarette lighter returns to its original position.

In the first car models, the device was used directly for lighting cigarettes, but with the development of technology its use has expanded significantly. Currently, all external electronic devices are connected through it: vacuum cleaners, navigators, chargers, radar detectors, mobile phones.

Typical faults

The reasons why the cigarette lighter does not work can be different. One of them is a blown fuse. It may burn out due to connected devices, such as a compressor or splitter. To eliminate the problem, you need to open the mounting block, remove the burnt fuse and insert a new one. A regular 15 or 20 Amp fuse will do.

The second no less popular malfunction is the antenna contacts that are bent inside the device. If you use the charger frequently, the metal tendrils will unbend over time. To return the device to functionality, the antennae should be slightly bent using a flat-head screwdriver (the author of the video is Andrei Che).

Repair and replacement instructions

If the reason is not the fuse and the antenna, then the device may not work. In this case, it needs to be replaced. Replacement is complicated by dismantling the plastic floor tunnel.

The replacement procedure for the Lada Kalan and Lada Granta Liftback is similar and consists of a sequence of actions:

1. First of all, you need to remove the battery terminal.
2. Then unscrew the three mounting bolts that hold the plastic handbrake lining.
3. Next you need to unscrew the handbrake switch.
4. At the back of the tunnel there is a self-tapping screw, which we unscrew in the next step.
5. Then we unscrew the fastenings of the floor tunnel from the side.
6. Next, remove the cover from the gear shift knob.
7. Now you can lift the tunnel and begin replacing the cigarette lighter.
8. Before replacing, you must disconnect the power.
9. Next, press the latches that hold the cigarette lighter, and you can remove it.
10. We insert a new part and perform the reverse assembly steps.

Replacing a broken cigarette lighter is simple; any car enthusiast can handle this procedure.
