VAZ 2114 cigarette lighter does not work reason. Malfunctions of the Samara cigarette lighter of the fourteenth model: search and elimination. Design and purpose of the cigarette lighter

It's no secret that the VAZ 2114 fuse box is the main component of the vehicle's wiring system. This device has a specific circuit and allows you to protect all kinds of car system devices, such as the cigarette lighter, stove, fuel pump and others from malfunctions and overvoltage. In this article we will provide you with basic information regarding the location and replacement of components.

Where is?

The relay or fuse for the cigarette lighter, fuel pump or stove is turned on simultaneously with the device it protects. In that case, there is a voltage surge in the wiring, you will hear the fuses (hereinafter referred to as FP) clicking or the backlight blinking, the entire load will fall on the relay.

Most domestic cars, including the VAZ 2114, use a single-wire circuit system, which is used in most vehicles. Any device connected to the unit has its own fuse, the purpose of which is to protect it. Thus, the vehicle is protected from potential circuit overheating and, as a result, a possible fire.

But not all devices, unlike a gas pump, cigarette lighter or stove, are connected to the mounting block. Sometimes additional devices are connected directly to the battery. So if you are faced with the problem of non-functioning equipment, in accordance with the electrical diagram, you need to make sure that the problem really lies in a failed fuse. So, in any case, you need to familiarize yourself with the diagram.

Now regarding the location of the device. The unit itself in the VAZ 2114 injector is located in the engine compartment, opposite the instrument panel. To get to it, you don’t have to remove the instrument panel; just open the hood and look under the windshield on the driver’s side. Directly opposite the instrument panel you will see a black block hidden by a plastic cover.

After dismantling the cover, you will be able to see the block where there are several dozen fuses and the relays themselves. In accordance with the electrical diagram printed on the cover, each element is responsible for the operation of a particular equipment. The scheme is discussed in more detail below.

Designation Function
K1If the car is equipped with a headlight washing system, then this unit is responsible for its operation.
K2For the operation of turn signals or hazard lights.
K3For the electric motor of the windshield cleaning system.
K5If the car is equipped with electric windows, then this relay ensures their functionality.
K6Failure of this component will cause the horn to not work.
K7Responsible for the operation of the rear window heating system.
K8 and K9Both elements ensure the functionality of high and low beam lights.

The power supply units are also equipped with a relay responsible for the operation of the instrument panel backlight lamps. If the lamp does not light up, it may be due to the PCB. The designation of all components corresponds to the diagram. A more detailed purpose of fuses and relays that ensure the functionality of the cigarette lighter, stove, gas pump, central locking and other devices is described in the table below.

If the cigarette lighter, stove, fuel pump, central locking or other equipment in your car has stopped working, then in accordance with the diagram, you first need to check the functionality of the relays and fuses. You already know the location of the elements, let's begin the replacement process. So, how to properly remove the PCB from the box and replace it?

  1. First of all, you need to open the hood and gain access to the PSU installation location. It is located directly in front of the driver's seat. Since any work to replace the cigarette lighter fuse, heater or fuel pump must be carried out with the battery turned off, the terminal must be reset in advance.
  2. The lining installation clamps should be pryed off, and the cover itself should then be removed.
  3. In accordance with the diagram, determine the location of the failed PP. If an element is burnt out, you will see a burnt fusible thread on it, but this is far from an indicator; sometimes the part looks intact, but in fact is not working. Sometimes the reason that the backlight does not light up or the stove does not work is a dirty socket or rust at the contact point. Sometimes this is a noticeable obstacle to the transmission of voltage between the fuse and the rest of the circuit. If this is really the problem, then it makes no sense to replace the PCB - it is necessary to clean the contacts and socket.
  4. Next, if you still need to make a replacement, use special tweezers located in the housing of the mounting block. Using tweezers, remove the fuse responsible for the operation of a particular device. If the relay breaks, the component must be removed by pulling it towards you and at the same time rocking it from side to side.
  5. To replace the relay or fuse, dismantle it and replace it with a working one. Make sure that the part matches the number marked on it. For example, if 15 Amperes are marked on a broken element, then this is the rating the new part should have.

After this, all you have to do is close the plastic cover of the unit and check again how the device works. In the event that the problem was really a broken relay, then replacing it will help solve everything. If your instrument panel does not light up, and replacing the relay did not help solve the problem, then you need to check the wiring.

Before we look at the main topic - how to remove the cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2114, you should first find out - what is a cigarette lighter, where is it located and how to use it?

A car cigarette lighter is a special electrical device, usually located on the front panel of the car and used for lighting cigarettes (hence, as you might guess, the name), as well as connecting various electrical appliances and tools (more precisely, they are connected to the cigarette lighter socket, and not into the cigarette lighter itself, which is only a removable part. However, in most cases, both parts of this device are called the same...)


Inside the connector of this device there are two contacts, which, in turn, are connected by wires to the on-board network.

The removable part, which serves for lighting the cigarette, is also designed quite simply - it contains bimetallic contacts and a conductive spiral, which heats up when connected to the network (the vast majority of cigarette lighters also have a button that turns the heating process on and off, which protects the device from quickly burning out (in case the heating was constant...)

It should be noted right away that in addition to its main purpose, a huge number of different equipment can be connected to the cigarette lighter socket (for this it must have a suitable connector).

Among them:

  • chargers for mobile phones;
  • compressors for tire inflation;
  • car vacuum cleaners;
  • mini refrigerators;
  • audio recorders;
  • measuring instruments, and much more.

Thus, the cigarette lighter is a fairly universal and necessary device inside the car, which is why it is so important that it is in good condition.

Problems with the cigarette lighter and their elimination

Very often, especially in cases of constant operation or increased loads on the connector, the device fails. In some of these cases, the only solution will be to replace the VAZ 2114 cigarette lighter, while in others, you can try to fix this problem by repairing it.

Before you begin dismantling the cigarette lighter or starting to repair it, you should check the reliability of the connection of the wiring harness suitable for it. This can be done by checking the tightness of the fasteners in the block (it is designated as X1).


Among the main breakdowns that occur with a device such as a cigarette lighter are the following:
  • poor contact in the connector;
  • oxidation of connector contacts;
  • fuse blown;
  • burning or melting of connector contacts;
  • backlight bulb burnout;
  • a short circuit in the system that occurs when third-party devices are connected;
  • mechanical destruction of the connector.

In the first three cases, you can still try to correct the situation, in the rest you will have to dismantle the device and, except in the case of a burnt-out light bulb, purchase and install a new one in its place (it should be immediately recalled that before changing the cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2114, you should disconnect the battery ).

As for poor contact inside the connector or the presence of oxides, you can try to solve this problem by slightly bending the contacts themselves and cleaning them. If a fuse blows, you just need to replace it with a new, similar one (the fuse you are looking for is designated in the row of fuses as F4 and is designed for a maximum current of 20 amperes).

How to remove the cigarette lighter and install a new one?

The entire process of dismantling a broken cigarette lighter and installing a new one in its place will not take much time (and also will not require a large number of tools - one screwdriver will be enough).

All manipulations with on-board vehicle electronics, including the cigarette lighter, should be performed after the power terminals are removed from the battery.

Removal is carried out according to the following scheme:

  • the left screen of the center console is dismantled;
  • the block with the wiring harnesses suitable for the cigarette lighter is disconnected;
  • the light bulb responsible for illuminating the ashtray is removed (along with its socket and a suitable cable harness);
  • before pulling out the cigarette lighter of the VAZ 2114, you should lightly pick it up by the edge with a flat screwdriver or a strong small knife and pull it, then push it out of the console;
  • the light filter is disconnected along with the backlight bulb socket;
  • if it is necessary to replace the cigarette lighter lamp, it is also necessary to remove its reflector;
  • After this, all that remains is to remove the lamp socket and remove the burnt out lamp itself.

Assembling the entire device, as well as its installation (or installing a new cigarette lighter to replace a completely broken one) is carried out in exactly the same order, but in reverse order.

Thus, as you can see, the entire process of removing, installing, and repairing the cigarette lighter does not pose any difficulties.

Useful video

You can get additional interesting information by watching the video below:

The only thing that should be advised to those who decide to install a completely new device to replace a damaged one is that when buying a cigarette lighter in a car store, be sure to check it for open circuits using a multimeter. This is due to the fact that recently cases when a newly purchased device turns out to be completely faulty have become very frequent.

Initially, the device was developed for smoking drivers. It allowed me to light a cigarette without being distracted by other matters. However, modern car owners practically do not use the cigarette lighter for its intended purpose. Additional electrical equipment is connected to the socket.

Due to age or improper use, the device may break, which will lead to a lot of inconvenience. You can find out why the cigarette lighter on a VAZ breaks down and how to replace it with your own hands on a VAZ 2114 in the article.

What kind of cigarette lighter is on the fourteenth Samara model?

Early VAZ models (2101-2109) have an old-style device with a long tip. This cigarette lighter has a number of disadvantages:

  • over time it begins to wobble in the nest and may stop working;
  • does not provide reliable fixation of the plugs of connected devices.

The VAZ 2114 car has a different modification of the cigarette lighter - a short body modeled on the European standard. The original part has article number 212337251113725, and its price is 300 - 600 rubles. There are cheaper analogues of cigarette lighters, but such modifications should be abandoned - their performance does not last long. It is important that the part is carefully packaged, and the product is completed with certificates of conformity and quality passports.

Can it be used as a car socket?

Most often, car owners use the cigarette lighter socket as a connector for connecting additional electrical equipment. The most common devices:

  • DVR;
  • GPS navigator;
  • fan;
  • compressor pumping up the wheels;
  • charging for mobile devices (phones, tablets, laptops).


When using the glass as a 12-volt outlet, the maximum power of the connected devices should not exceed 360 Watts. Calculated using the formula P=I*A, where I is the voltage of 12 volts, and A is the maximum current of 30 amperes.

Why did the cigarette lighter stop working?

The device can break down for a number of reasons. In some cases, you can repair it yourself, and sometimes you need to completely change the cigarette lighter.

Cause of malfunction How to repair
Poor contact Bend the metal clips inside the cartridge.
Presence of oxides or rust Use a file to remove plaque from contacts.
Blown fuse Replace element F47 with a new one, rated 30 Amperes.
Broken wiring Check the integrity of the wires using a multitester. Solder or replace broken cables.
Washer melting Replacement with a new device.
Burnout of the metal spiral Replacing the cigarette lighter.

The light and radio doesn't work


The electrical circuit of a car is implemented in such a way that this section is directly responsible for several devices. For example, fuse F4 is also responsible for the glove compartment light and heated rear window. The radio is connected through this section.

The cigarette lighter pinout looks like this: There are three cables connected to the device.

  1. Red. The positive wire goes through the cigarette lighter fuse to the battery. Responsible for heating the metal spiral located inside the tip.
  2. Yellow. Plus - responsible for the cigarette lighter lamp. There is a light filter around the nest to help you find it at night.
  3. Black. Negative cable. One contact is powered to the cigarette lighter body, and the second comes directly to the car body.

Fuse burned out



One of the most common breakdowns due to which the device does not work is the burnout of the protective element of the VAZ 2114 cigarette lighter. The car circuit in this area is protected by fuse F7 with a rating of 30 amperes. If the maximum value is exceeded, the metal jumper burns out and does not work. This is protection of wires from melting. If the fuse does not work, repair will require removing the blown element and replacing it with a new one.

The mounting block of the VAZ 2114 model is located in the engine compartment, on the left side along the direction of the car. The relays are located here, and on the back of the cover there is a diagram of the arrangement of the protective elements. The fuse with number F7 (30 A) must be replaced. After work, it is important not to violate the established rules, then the device will work for a long time:

  • do not connect several powerful devices at the same time (via a splitter), otherwise the fuse may burn out;
  • do not install an element designed for a higher current strength than that recommended by the manufacturer;
  • Avoid loosening the socket or poor contact with the cartridge - this can lead to a short circuit in the system and tripping the fuse.

Socket, pins and wiring

If after replacement the VAZ cigarette lighter still does not work, then the cause of the breakdown should be looked for elsewhere. Among other faults it is worth highlighting.

  1. Broken wires. Due to age, the soldering may fall off, which will affect the performance of the device. To identify a break, it is necessary to inspect the cables and contact points for creases. A tester will help you check the malfunction by checking the wiring.
  2. Short circuit. Occurs due to incorrect connection. First the fuse burns out and does not work. But if an entire protective element fails again, then we need to look for the reason. For repairs you will need a soldering iron and solder. The wires should be replaced with cables of the same cross-section.
  3. Burnt out filament element. Inside the cartridge there is a nichrome spiral, which can burn due to age. Restoration is not practical. In case of such a malfunction, it is necessary to replace the cigarette lighter on the VAZ 2114 with a working part.
  4. Bad contacts. Due to age, rust or oxides appear on them. The cigarette lighter may become loose. Due to the lack of a tight connection, connected electrical appliances may burn out. It is recommended to remove the cigarette lighter of the VAZ 2114 model, clean the contacts with a file, removing traces of rust, and bend the fixing tabs.

Cigarette lighter illumination VAZ 2114



A light filter is installed around the connector, allowing you to find the device at night. Age may cause the backlight lamp to burn out or the wire going to it to fall off. Connecting the device requires three cables.

  1. Red. Positive, responsible for heating the element. Connected to battery via 20 amp fuse.
  2. Yellow. Permanent positive, connected to the network. Responsible for the operation of the backlight.
  3. Black. Negative cable or ground. It is connected to the device body, and the other end goes to the car body.

If the wires fall off, you should connect them accordingly. If the lamp burns out and does not work, you will need to remove the device socket and install a new one. How to remove the cigarette lighter of a VAZ 2114 is described below.

Repair work

Before the procedure, you will need to stock up on the necessary tools:

  • gloves;
  • screwdriver.


In order to remove the cigarette lighter, it is necessary.

  1. Turn off the engine, open the hood and remove the negative terminal from the battery to eliminate the possibility of a short circuit and tripping the fuse on the VAZ 2114.
  2. Remove the protective panel located near the driver’s right foot by unscrewing the fastening screws.
  3. Disconnect the connection plug.
  4. Remove the backlight lamp along with the socket itself.
  5. Pry off the fixing tendrils inside (see photo). This will make the cigarette lighter with the fuse easier to remove.
  6. Pull out the metal element.

Installation of the part is carried out in the reverse order of removal.

Connecting an additional cigarette lighter VAZ 2114

Many drivers feel the need for a second socket. To install an additional car lighter, you will need to purchase a suitable part. The price of the device is 300 – 700 rubles.


The tools required are:

  • drill with drills and crown;
  • insulating tape;
  • wires of suitable cross-section and length;
  • needle file or file.

Procedure.

  1. Select the installation location.
  2. We cut a socket of a suitable diameter and clean the edges with a needle file or file.
  3. We connect the device to the network, observing the polarity.
  4. We carry out reverse assembly.

It is important to remember that you should not connect several powerful devices to the network, and the splitter itself must be powered through a fuse. Otherwise, devices or wiring may burn. As an alternative, you can buy a special splitter that operates from a standard socket.

Video about replacing the cigarette lighter 2114

Repairing or dismantling a device is a simple process, but it can also get confusing. A video using the example of a VAZ 2114 with an injector will help you understand how to remove and repair the cigarette lighter.

Remember one important thing, before you start disassembling the stove, wiper, headlight or anything else - make sure that the fuse responsible for this circuit has not blown :) And in addition to the fuse, make sure that power is supplied to the non-working unit, because the mounting block and Over time, the car's wiring may fail due to external factors and influences. The wire can most often suffer mechanical damage, the connectors can oxidize, but a track in the fuse block can burn out or even some of the conductive elements simply rot into dust.

By the way, it’s not for nothing that we focus on the latter - the location of the fuse box in the “chisel-samara” family is not entirely successful, water often gets on it, and due to the design features and its poor protection from moisture, various troubles are practically “guaranteed” by the manufacturer.

Today we will look at diagram and location of fuses and relays VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115

VAZ 2114 fuse mounting block diagram

The fuse box in the VAZ-2114 is located under the hood, on the left in the direction of travel of the car, On the edge under the left wiper you will see a black box. To open it, you need to move two latches on the left. We remove the cover, there are relays and fuses.

Pinout of VAZ 2114 fuse block connectors from the passenger compartment side, all connectors and pin numbers are labeled

Very often the source of the problem is moisture, especially if the storm drains are not cleaned during the operation of the car - water will then get into the engine compartment. The X11 connector especially suffers from this, up to the following consequences:

The board elements and soldering also fall into disrepair due to the systematic entry of water into the block:

What is noteworthy is that units were also produced in which the X11 connector is located not on the top, as in most cases, but on the side, here:

By the way, the circuit board of the mounting block - burnt tracks, peeling varnish, cracked soldering, oxides - everything can be restored, thereby saving quite a considerable amount, the fuse box is not a cheap pleasure. Here is an example of a restored and soldered board from block 2114 - BEFORE view:

And accordingly, after restoration work, which consisted of soldering, washing and partial replacement of connector elements + restoration of some tracks.

The battery is running low, and the cigarette lighter on my VAZ 2114 does not work. Today, the issue of the functionality of the cigarette lighter is very acute, since it is a universal source of electrical energy.

Everywhere you look, all car accessories work using adapters from the cigarette lighter. Eg, navigator, mobile phone, car compressor, and other gadgets.

It is not always possible to calculate the exact charge of a particular product, so many drivers and others are accustomed to recharging their devices on the road. Sooner or later, the moment comes when the cigarette lighter stops working and it is necessary to quickly respond and eliminate the cause of the breakdown. Let's look at how to do this on our own below.

Location and troubleshooting

The cigarette lighter on the VAZ 2114 does not work, there are several explanations for this: a frayed electrical wire or filament has burned out due to overheating. You can solve the problem yourself; there is no need to contact a car service. We should get a tester for checking the wiring and a new cigarette lighter, either as an assembly or as a removable part separately.

  • For practicality and convenience we need space around the car so that we can work with the doors swinging open. In summer this can be done outdoors, and in winter only indoors. Therefore, look at your case;
  • The cigarette lighter itself is located on the center console closer to the gearbox;
  • Let's start by checking the fuses. To do this, open the hatch with the fuse box, it is located to the left of the steering column, and we find the marking F4 20-amp. We call it a tester, if it’s good, then we leave it, otherwise we change it to a new one. Make it a habit to carry spare fuses with you. If they are not there, then you can purchase them without any problems;
  • After we have found out that the fuse block has nothing to do with it, we move directly to the cigarette lighter itself. To do this, use a screwdriver to unscrew the side plastic frame on the central dashboard; it is secured with two screws on each side. By removing it, we have secured access to the filling and can safely begin diagnostics;
  • Having de-energized the device by , you can ring it with a tester, and from the resistance readings you can understand whether there is a short circuit or not. Having pulled out the movable core, you need to carefully inspect it and check the integrity of the coil spring with your finger. If there are characteristic damages, then it cannot be repaired, only complete replacement;
  • The question is that it will be extremely difficult for you to purchase a moving part of the cigarette lighter; it is usually sold assembled, unless you can find it at a flea market. If this is not the reason, then one way is to look for a frayed wire;
  • We begin to lead the wires from the device itself to the fuse box. If such a section is identified, the wire should be removed and replaced with a new one. Since manual twisting will not bring results and over time, interruptions in the voltage supply will appear.

  • Experts advise avoiding such manual twists, as in 80% of cases they are sources of car fire. find the time and opportunity to fully replace the wiring or at least solder the damaged area with a soldering iron;
  • Before buying a cigarette lighter, be sure to ask the seller to test it with a tester, otherwise you will be forced to come back to the store (or market) to replace the part, fortunately, there are more than enough low-quality ones for sale;
  • When carrying out electrical work, be sure to disconnect the positive terminal of the battery;
  • This concludes our consideration of the topic, the cigarette lighter on the VAZ 2114 does not work, we hope for practical advice and recommendations from you. Write your methods in the comments.
