The VAZ-2110 dashboard does not work: reasons, troubleshooting methods, tips

Arrangement

So, what can you see on the instrument panel in this car? The combination consists of several components:

• antifreeze temperature indicator in Celsius;
• tachometer - number of revolutions of the power unit;
• right and left turn indicators;
• speedometer - vehicle speed;
• fuel reserve - the volume of fuel in the tank;
• image of a gas station - a signal about the need to refuel;
• control indicator for starting dimensions;
• brake fluid level indicator;
• starting high beam headlights;
• knob for adjusting the clock;
• display with total and daily mileage;
• alarm control indicator;
• clock screen;
• battery charge level;
• check engine - indicates an engine malfunction;

• indicator indicating the handbrake is engaged;
• oil pressure level;
• choke light - only available on carburetor engines.

The dashboard does not work.

The problem is this: the display stopped working (tachometer, speedometer, temperature, fuel, reverse gear indicator), the interior lighting when opening the doors, and the central locking. Error 14 is on - speed sensor. what could have happened????

Features of panels of different VAZ-2110 models

On VAZ-2110 cars of different years of production you can see different options for instrument combinations.

• The first models had a built-in electromechanical panel with factory number 3801010. Visually, the device can be easily identified by the mechanical odometer, which is built into the speedometer scale. It is driven by the engine, but the rest of the indicators operate on the magnetic principle. At the back of the shield you can find two power strips placed at right angles.
• A little later, a dozen were released with an electronic panel equipped with a display at the bottom of the speedometer. Occasionally there are panels with a suction indicator or an airbag light in the same place. There are cars with dual displays - under the speedometer and tachometer.
• It is extremely rare to find dozens with panels intended for the VAZ-21106. Such shields are equipped with technical number 21106-3801010. This panel can be identified by the display at the bottom of the tachometer and the extended range of the speedometer.
• The latest VAZ-2110 models are equipped with shields that are unified with the 2118 model. They have one difference - the combination of scales. Unlike the old model, the signs on these panels are placed chaotically and slightly shifted to the right.

Characteristics of panel types

The panel located in front of the driver, containing a set of warning lamps, is called a panel.

It has another name - torpedo and consists of the following components:

1. The unit that records the speed of the car – the speedometer.
2. A device that keeps track of the number of revolutions - a tachometer.
3. Two indicators: coolant temperature and fuel level.
4. Indicator lamps of different colors.
5. Six separate lamps responsible for illumination.
6. A number of backup sockets where lamps can be turned on.
7. One red block. On the electrical diagram it has X
8. Another white block, marked X

Europanel for VAZ 2110Panel for VAZ 2110 old model
On the VAZ 2110 there are 2 types of dashboards: old model and Europanel.

The differences between them are as follows:

• old panels have a symmetrical arrangement of devices;
• In the Euro device, the fuel gauges and the amount of heating of the coolant are shifted to the right.

Causes

The VAZ-2110 dashboard does not work - what to do in this case? First of all, it is necessary to understand the situation in detail and identify the original causes of the problem.

Of course, the most impressive malfunction of the panel is its complete failure. In such a situation, the instruments themselves, the indicators, and control lights stop working, and the arrows simply fall down. To solve this problem, the first thing you should do is check the functionality of the fifteen-amp fuse, which is designated “F6”. Often this is the reason why the dashboard on the VAZ-2110 does not work.

In general, there are several most common problems inherent in the shields of this car model. Each breakdown has its own characteristics and methods of correction.

Fuse blown

As already mentioned, a malfunction of this panel element often leads to failure of the entire panel. You can find fuse F6 in the mounting block. If it does burn out, it is very important to identify the cause of the breakdown. Otherwise, the new part will repeat the fate of the previous part and will burn out in the same way. Often the cause of the breakdown lies in a banal electrical circuit short circuit. Once the initial problem has been identified and corrected, you simply need to replace the fuse with a new part.

By the way, often the malfunction of this part becomes the reason that the dashboard and turn signals on the VAZ-2110 do not work. So, if you encounter such a problem, you can safely change the fuse.

Instrument needles are jumping

It often happens that they simply start jumping on a scale from minimum to maximum. Typically, the cause of such a malfunction is a poor connection between the contact and ground. Its wire coming from the shield is fixed on the partition separating the engine compartment from the passenger compartment. You can find it by removing the radio from its socket. But if an alarm was installed on your car, most likely, the fastening of this wire was moved to a more convenient place for greater convenience. Usually, experts move it behind the interior trim, not far from the driver’s left foot.

Car owners can expect the same thing after installing a radio. At the moment of fixing its negative cable, perhaps the ground wire of the shield was poorly wrapped. As a result of this oversight, under the influence of vibrations transmitted to the car body, the cable could become loose. This happens very often, and for a long time car owners cannot understand why the dashboard on the VAZ-2010 does not work. It is worth saying that even specialists often wrap the mass wire poorly due to the fact that doing so is not entirely convenient.

If the fastening of this cable turns out to be of good quality, it is worth checking the shield itself. To do this, it must be removed from the place of fixation so that you do not have to disconnect the wires going to the pads.

You need to check the mass cable on the white block X1, going to the first contact. In addition, it is worth checking the voltage on pins 9, 6 and 10 - it should be at least 12 volts. In addition, be sure to pay attention to the condition of the tracks at the back of the panel, along which impulses are transmitted to consumers.

Cigarette lighter failure

It is its malfunction that often causes the shield to fail. The fact is that many car owners turn on various devices through the cigarette lighter, for example, a special vacuum cleaner, chargers, pumps and other devices. Due to the fact that these gadgets require high current, either the socket itself or fuse F19 often breaks, as a result of which the instrument panel on the VAZ-2110 does not work.

In addition, the cigarette lighter may become damaged if left on for too long. In this case, you can return the instrument panel to functionality by disconnecting the socket block. But it is worth saying that such manipulation will be successful only if fuse F19 is functioning. If it does burn out, it must be replaced.

The backlight of the VAZ 2114 instrument panel does not light up - how to find the reason

My dashboard after repair

A couple of weeks ago, my instrument panel lights started blinking over bumps and holes. I understand what needs to be done, but there is no one, there is no husband. There are friends who help me with repairing my swallow, but now they all have a lot of their own problems. They say wait until the weekend, we'll look at your car. And I don't like to wait. Of course, you can take it to a service station, but there is no money. And in general, the car is not new, there is no desire to go all out over such trifles.

While I was pulling the rubber, the panel went out completely. Now there is no place to put it off. But friends still have no time. Okay, I think I'll fix it myself. It’s a pity that there is no warm garage, and it’s already cold outside. But you still need to do it.

I decided to look for a solution to the problem on the Internet on forums. Having climbed a sufficient number of them and checked all the fuses, I realized that I needed to disassemble the panel. On the first day, after sitting in the car for an hour and wiping off all the dust, I decided to leave this matter for tomorrow.

All I could make out

The next day, after unscrewing four bolts, I decided to surf the Internet again. And I found an interesting article there about the fact that there is a gearbox to the left of the steering wheel (I think I wrote it correctly), which can burn out and cause the backlight to go out. To bring the backlight back to life, you just need to disconnect the chip and short it with a copper wire. I think it’s as simple as shelling pears.

This is what the gearbox looks like

This method works for me. I decided to act.

This is how I inserted the wire

I prepared the wire and unscrewed the gearbox. I unhooked the chip. I inserted the wire and voila. The backlight is on. My happiness knew no bounds. I decided to go to my sister and share my success.

But as soon as I stepped on the gas, everything went out, only the turn signals and the low and high beam headlights remained on. I quickly pulled out the wire. I changed 2 fuses f3 and f16, everything worked again. Only the backlight remains silent.

Tuning

This is what often causes the dashboard to malfunction. Perhaps the new shield was not fixed correctly, which is why it actually does not work. Either when installing the wiring, not all cables were connected, or they were simply bent. In such cases, only individual elements of the dashboard often stop functioning: for example, displays, battery, handbrake or oil pressure indicators, as well as the carburetor choke light. The instrument panel of the VAZ-2110 does not work after tuning - what to do in this case? The first thing to do is replace the wires. Usually, this allows you to easily solve the problem.

Troubleshooting steps

To diagnose and repair the backlight system for the instrument panel on a VAZ 2114, you will need a pair of wrenches, sizes 8 and 21, and a set of screwdrivers. The general procedure for dismantling and adjustment work boils down to the following steps:

1. Remove the trim by first unscrewing the three fastening screws and removing the protrusion from the body part bracket.
2. Remove the five mounting screws from the right side of the console and remove the screen.
3. Disconnect the terminal with the battery suitable for the negative power source, as well as the block with the bundle of wires from the cigarette lighter system.
4. The handle of the lever mechanism is removed.
5. The stove ventilation system clamp is dismantled.
6. The screws securing the steering column brackets are removed.
7. The sockets are unscrewed, the light guide and the decorative panel insert are removed.
8. The light bulb for illuminating the hydraulic corrector is removed using a 21 key.
9. Finally, the screws that secure the top and bottom of the instrument panel itself are unscrewed so that it can be removed.

Diagnostics

It doesn’t matter at all whether the VAZ-2110 dashboard with an 8-valve injector or a 16-valve carburetor does not work; the first step is to diagnose the dashboard itself. After all, its serviceability does not depend in any way on the inside of the car.

Correct diagnosis involves performing several simple manipulations:

• checking lamps and replacing faulty parts;
• checking the wiring using an indicator or multimeter;
• inspecting contacts and cleaning them from oxidation deposits;
• checking fuses;
• monitoring the performance of devices.

If the dashboard of a VAZ-2110 with a Euro installation does not work, you should check fuses F18, F19 and F1. In cases with gasoline units, you should also pay attention to parts with numbers: F6 and F10.
