Wiring diagram for the ignition switch of a VAZ 2106. We install a new ignition switch on the “classic”. Wiring sequence
The ignition switch of the VAZ 2106 is a fairly simple mechanism. Its scheme includes only four main elements: the body, the contact group, the anti-theft system and the lock itself. All these elements are closely interconnected, but if any of them fails, they can be replaced separately.
Device
Each of the above elements has a separate design. If we look at the ignition switch in more detail, we can note such details as: locking console, housing, shaft, disk with contacts, bushing, block, and cutout of a group of contacts.
The locking console is responsible for locking the steering wheel in the absence of the ignition key in the lock. The case is a protective element and covers the entire structure of the lock. The shaft is responsible for the rotation of the disk with contacts in relation to the sleeve, and forms contact between them. The block and group of contacts, in turn, are connected to the general ignition system of the car, and transmit the resulting contact to the distributor, through the ignition coil.
Replacing the device
Before replacing the ignition switch, it is worth determining whether it can be repaired. Sometimes replacement is simply not advisable, since the breakdown may be insignificant, and when replacing a separate element, it will be eliminated. But, if, nevertheless, a replacement is necessary, then let's figure out how to do it correctly.
Before starting work, be sure to prepare a bench tool, a file with a fine tip, and a multimeter. First of all, you need to remove the protective housing from the lock. Next, to remove the ignition switch, unscrew its fastenings and set the key to position “0” to disable the lock.
Further, the lock disassembly scheme includes removing the locking element through a special opening. This is done using a pre-prepared file. Now the ignition switch can be easily disconnected from the panel.
When connecting a new device, a special diagram must be followed, therefore, the contacts should be marked with a marker before disconnecting them from the part. Connecting a new lock is carried out strictly according to the pinout marked on its rim.
The VAZ 2106 ignition pinout is deciphered as follows:
- Value “0” - contacts 30 and 30/1, turn off the power system, transferring it to emergency operation.
- Value “I” - contacts 30/1-15 and 30-INT, include lighting systems (front and interior), windshield wiper, washer motor, heater and air conditioning fan, generator unit, instrument panel sensors, turn signals and sound signals, and also, the ignition system itself.
- Value “II” - contacts 30/1-15, 30-INT and 30-50, leave the previous elements turned on, with the exception of the ignition system, generator unit and panel instruments. Also, the starter circuit turns on and the engine starts running.
- Value “III” - contacts 30-INT and 30/1, considered the parking position, stops the starter circuit, leaving the lighting system, wipers, washer motor and cooling system working.
After the lock circuit is connected, test its performance in all modes using a multimeter. To do this, disconnect the battery terminal and install a multimeter between the contact and the battery positive. Turn the ignition key so that it activates the contact being tested. If a sign of operability appears on the multimeter panel, it means that the circuit has been followed correctly. This procedure should be carried out for all four contact positions.
Conclusion
When replacing this element, you should be very careful, since if it is connected incorrectly, the entire ignition circuit will stop working and you will not be able to start the engine. Also, if the contacts are mixed up, you can provoke increased voltage on one of their nodes, which will certainly lead to its instant failure.
It is worth noting that this ignition switch connection diagram is suitable not only for the “six”, but also for the rest of the VAZ “Classic” model range. This is quite convenient, since when choosing a new part, you will not have any special problems.
The ignition switch connects and services many of the vehicle's electrical circuits. The operation of entire groups of voltage consumers depends on its serviceability. The device performs several important functions:
Owners of the “six” are most often interested in the following issues related to the lock:
- ignition switch connection diagram for VAZ 2106;
- replacing the ignition switch on a VAZ 2106;
- how his contact group changes.
Let's look at these topics in order.
Ignition switch circuit
The electrical wiring connected to the mechanism works according to the following scheme:
There are four lock positions.
Zero position. With it, all electrical networks are turned off, except for two terminals, indicated in the diagram in dark color.
First position. Dimensions, windshield wipers, and heater fan receive power.
Second position. Additionally, power is supplied to the ignition system, indicators and buttons on the dashboard, turn signals and starter.
Third position. Only the dimensions, windshield wipers and horn continue to receive power.
The lock mechanism interacts with several electrical circuits that combine the vehicle's electrical appliances into a single circuit. When we turn the key, voltage from the negative terminal of the battery is supplied to the ignition coil.
Since the lock mechanism is regularly used by the driver, some of its elements wear out and fail. Sometimes all you need to do is spray the lock cylinder with WD-40. However, the effect may not last long and repair work will still be required in the near future.
The ignition switch is designed as follows:
The simplest thing is to replace the faulty lock with a new one. The cost of this part for the VAZ 2106 car is low. The replacement must begin with the process of removing the old mechanism.
How to remove the lock
If the latch cannot be fully pressed, you need to simultaneously slightly turn the key left and right, without turning it all the way. This will allow you to find a position in which the latch will be squeezed out completely and the lock will easily come out. Please note that anti-theft may also interfere. It moves with the key. If you turn the key to the starter position, it will take the most convenient position for removing the lock.
Another important tip: mark how the wires were connected. This will help you avoid any confusion when installing a new device.
Replacing the contact group
Sometimes there is no need to completely change the lock mechanism. It is enough just to change the contact group.
It is located on the back of the mechanism. Attached to the body with a spring ring. You can try to remove it by hand or using a screwdriver.
We film the group itself. It consists of two plastic rings that have built-in current-carrying tracks. There is a spring inside the ring.
Over time, carbon deposits form on these tracks, which leads to failure. There is no point in messing around with this soot. It's easier to buy a new group in the store. Its cost for a VAZ 2106 does not exceed 50 rubles. 
Please note that there are different models. On some, the starter contact is attached so that when you turn the key, the contact bends. This leads to quick breakdowns. It is better to choose a model on which the contact is rigidly installed.
Installing a new part is easy. Alternately move the wires from the previous part, choosing the correct contacts. Place the key in the zero position, turn the top of the group to the left until it stops and insert it into the lock. Make sure that the blade inside the body fits into a special groove. Snap and slide on the snap ring.
Installing the ignition switch
After you have replaced the contact group or bought a new lock, you need to return it to its place. And this needs to be done as correctly as possible. We offer the following sequence of actions that will help you easily connect the ignition switch on the VAZ 2106:
After all the work has been completed, you can connect the negative terminal to the battery and check the functionality of the mechanism. Do not forget that when replacing the ignition switch, the VAZ must be disconnected from the power supply.
It is a device without which starting the engine will be impossible. The same applies to VAZ 2106 cars. Below we suggest you understand the main malfunctions of the device, as well as the process of replacing the lock and contact group with photos and videos.

In what cases is it necessary to replace the ignition switch?
Replacing the contact group and installing the ignition switch
Now you can find out how, in accordance with the wire connection diagram shown in the photo, pinout and installation of a new group is carried out. As practice shows, it is this element that often causes malfunctions in the ignition switch. For correct pinout and connection in accordance with the diagram. First of all, you need to dismantle the spring ring, so the group can be removed by itself.
Then it is necessary to install the new element to the system body so that the groove of the group is mounted on the rod as accurately as possible; after these steps, the group is fixed using the same spring.
After connecting the new component, you need to correctly install the lock itself; to do this, follow these steps:
- First, you need to install the key in the lock, and then, as we did above, turn it to 0.
- The fastener is clamped and the switch is installed in the latch.
- In accordance with the diagram for the VAZ 2106, the wires are installed and connected.
- Then the plastic lining is installed on the steering system; with the help of five screws, the two parts are securely fixed.

To do everything correctly, use the detailed video instructions (the author of the video is Sergey Romanov).
Sorry, there are no surveys available at this time.Before you begin any troubleshooting work on your car, you should prepare a certain set of tools. In the case of removing the ignition switch on the “six” we will need:
- screwdrivers - flat and Phillips;
- awl.
However, you can do without the latter. An awl can be perfectly replaced by, for example, a miniature screwdriver, or a thin long nail with a cross-section of no more than 2 millimeters. One point should also be noted. Before disassembling the ignition switch, it is recommended to disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. Many may argue that a voltage of 12 volts is practically safe for humans.
However, do not forget that in the process of work you may well short-circuit the wires and damage any electrical equipment.
Accordingly, additional, completely unnecessary problems will appear.
Now we need to find 2 screws that secure the ignition switch itself. You will immediately notice them - at the bottom of the switch, on the left and on the right. There is very little left. In particular, you should disconnect the wires from the ignition switch contacts. Now we find a flat slot on the right, stick an awl into it, and then press on the latch, applying a certain force. Next, pry up the lock with a flat-head screwdriver and remove it from the bracket.
Pay attention to one thing. The lock should be removed without any problems. If, despite the efforts made, it stubbornly does not want to come out of the bracket, it means that you did not press the latch all the way. In this case, you should follow one simple procedure. Press the awl onto the latch, and at the same time move the key slightly from side to side, just do not turn it.
Replacing the contact group and installing the ignition switch
As mentioned above, there are several reasons why this work has to be done. One of them is burning of the contact group. In this case, there is no need to change the entire lock. At the same time, replacing the contact group will not cause you much trouble. To remove it, remove the spring ring. After this, the contact group simply drops out on its own. Now all that remains is to put a new one in its place. This should be done in such a way that the groove on the contact group exactly coincides with the rod of the secret part. After making sure that everything is seated as needed, we secure it with a spring ring.
The mechanical-electric ignition switch of the VAZ 2106 is represented by a body part with a locking device, an anti-theft mechanism and an electrical contact group. The schematic diagram of the sixth generation VAZ ignition switch is located in the figure below and the marked symbols are numbered as follows:
- Locking console.
- Hull part.
- Contacts disk.
- Contact sleeve.
- Block.
- a – extensive cutout of the contact group.
To connect the ignition switch, you need to know its location in the cabin. This element of the system is located under the instrument panel on the steering column shaft bracket.
Replacing the ignition switch
An unscheduled replacement of the VAZ 2106 ignition switch is carried out when fatal faults are detected, such as dysfunction of the anti-theft complex or defects in the mechanical part of the product. The most convenient option for replacing the ignition switch is a complete reinstallation of this element of the system. However, the contact group must be replaced by removing the spring-loaded hoop-shaped stopper and installing the updated part. Also, regardless of other technological operations, the ignition switch cylinder is replaced, which is dismantled on the removed product.
To remove the ignition switch of a VAZ 2106, you need to prepare a set of locksmith tools, a tool with a thin round tip (awl) and a tester or multimeter. The procedure for dismantling and installing the ignition switch:
- Remove the protective casing of the electrical wiring under the steering wheel, having first removed the mounting bracket.
- Remove the ignition switch and disable the anti-theft function by placing the key in the “0” position.
- Press the fixing element with a thin screwdriver through the technological opening in the fastener.
- Remove the ignition switch from the mounting.
- Mark with a felt-tip pen or, if the car enthusiast relies on his memory, memorize the order of connecting the wires to the outputs and contacts of the locking device.
- Disconnect the wiring from the element.
- Test the correct connection of the contact group for different positions of the ignition key using the ignition switch pinout located below.
- The general circuit of the ignition switch is designed so that the potential difference from the battery and the generator unit is supplied to connectors “30” and “30/1”. The “INT” output is intended for integrating an audio system or other gadgets.
- When checking the functionality of the anti-theft mechanism, the locking console must move to extension if the ignition key is fixed in position “III” (parking position) and be removed from the locking device.
- When the key position is changed to position “0”, the locking console “hides” in the opening of the body part. The ignition key must be removed exclusively in position “III”.
- When replacing ignition switch contacts, it is necessary to lift the retaining ring with an awl or similar device through the technological opening and remove the group of contacts. When installing a contact group, it must be installed so that outputs “15” and “30” occupy a position from the locking console. This will allow the protrusion in the group of contacts to be aligned with the housing groove of the ignition switch, which will ensure their unhindered interaction.
- The group of contacts can be removed without removing the ignition switch, freeing the steering column from the protective cover. True, the installation of this element will be fraught with great difficulties.
- Installation of the ignition switch is carried out in the opposite order.
There are malfunctions of the VAZ 2106 ignition switch that occur in the electrical part of the product. This is, as a rule, a burnout of a group of product contacts associated with an unstable electrical wiring connection. If the ignition switch is jammed, this is due to mechanical deformation of the key element.
