4 ways to start a Lada without a key. How to start a VAZ engine if the battery is dead or the ignition switch is broken

In order to start the VAZ 2109 without the help of a key, we will need a native VAZ harness and a screwdriver.

We open the lock on the door with a screwdriver, after which we open and lift the hood of the car and pull out the alarm, we do all this using the original harness from the VAZ 2109, you can buy it at any auto parts store, we bypass the entire alarm system with it. We unscrew the coil marks, throw layers on top of the old wires, plus to plus, and minus to minus, we attract all this and connect the sensor, connect the layer, unscrew the chip from the camutator and connect our own, we also plant the mass, unscrew the nuts, put on our mass.

Then we connect the plus to the battery - the ignition is all on, the alarm also works, but it is somewhere there by itself, now we can start the car, we take the starter relay and remove the chip and connect it with a jumper. We have all now completely bypassed the car's security system. Then we connect our wires, the alarm is blocking something somewhere, and at this time the car is running on a vital harness, you can safely get behind the wheel and drive.

There is another way to start a VAZ 2109 without a key through the ignition switch. To do this, we need to get inside the car, unscrew the ignition switch cover, general access will appear, then we unscrew 1 bolt and immediately it becomes possible to remove the contact group, we no longer need the key, we put our finger in and start it and we can go.

Very often, when an accident occurs, the car is examined by insurance experts to assess the damage, but as a rule, cases of expert bias are not uncommon. The best way to determine damage after an accident is to invite an independent expert, independent of any of the parties, including the insurance company.

We have all seen more than once how in dashing action films the main character starts a car without a key by connecting a couple of wires. Of course, it is possible that a similar situation can happen in life, and it is not necessary to steal a car or participate in a chase. The ignition key may simply be lost or broken during a sudden jerk in the socket. Repairs have their time, but for now you need to somehow start the car without a key. So how to do this? We're not action heroes, so we don't need to rush. Step by step turning on the ignition of a car without a key looks something like this for all car models:

1. First, you need to carefully get your hands on the wires, which will require removing the protective cover from under the steering wheel.
2. Once this operation is completed, you will see a set of multi-colored wires leading to the ignition switch. You need to separate the wires from the lock in any way that is most convenient for you.
3. Having done this, determine whether each wire belongs to the vehicle’s on-board system and what each of them is responsible for.
4. First of all, let's calculate the ground wire. Its most common color is green or black. Some cars have this yellow wire with a thin green stripe. To make sure that it is the grounding wire in front of you, connect it through the tester to the machine body. A digital indicator at value 0 means that this is the same wire. Insulate its end to prevent an accidental short circuit with the power wires: this can lead to failure of the on-board system.
5. Now you need to calculate the power wire. To do this, study the colors - most likely it will be red or yellow, a lot depends on the voltage. It happens that there is only one such wire, sometimes there are several. Then you need to find everything. You will have to examine all the wires by connecting one multimeter probe to the ground wire or car body. You need to set the tester in advance to the voltage measurement position. Have you found all the wires from which the power comes? Also isolate them by grouping them first. Their accidental contact with the ground or machine body is dangerous.
6. Now you need to find the wire that powers the starter. Be sure to lower the handbrake and, in turn, connect the wires of unclear purpose to the power wire, or to all of them at the same time, grouped together. One will definitely turn on the starter. Mark it with something, a marker or tape.
7. Now connect the power wires to the wire that supplies voltage to the car. It is important that the connection is strong, otherwise the engine may stall at any moment.
8. And now we do it like in the movies - we strike the wire that powers the starter, which will cause a short circuit and the car, if all the conditions described above are met correctly, will start. Once this happens, move the wire away.

Another unusual situation that can happen in winter is that the electrolyte in the battery has frozen. How to save your battery in this case?

How to start VAZ 2106, VAZ 2109, VAZ 2110 and VAZ 2112 without a key

In the case of a VAZ 2106 , you need to remove the ignition cover and find the brown, blue and red wires. The thick red wire is positive. The brown and blue wires need to be secured with electrical tape, and the red wires should be struck on both wires. The car should start. A similar procedure can be done for VAZ 2109 .

To start a VAZ 2110 or 2112 car without a key , you will need to pull out the entire switch button so that it hangs on the wires and remove the cover: there will be four connectors. Now you need to insert it differently - into three connectors so that there is one free on the right. At the same time, the fuel pump will start working and the ignition will turn on. Now open the hood. It is necessary to force the starter to start, for which it is enough to bridge the copper bolts, which are located in the back cover of the starter solenoid relay, with a wrench or scissors. The car started.

Activate all emobilizers and do not leave the car unattended in this condition!

You can clearly see how to not only start, but also open a “ten” or “two” without a key in the following video:

Now you know how to start a car without a key. Of course, a considerable number of cars of foreign expensive brands are already equipped with factory buttons and special key fobs; you can often find code panels for entering a PIN code. As for domestic cars, such an easy opportunity to start a car without a key should be alarming - do not leave the car unattended and without an alarm.

Read about opening a car without a key here. Well, if you are upset about losing your keys, read our instructions for this case.

Engine starting system with a button, options for its implementation

It should be noted right away that there are quite a lot of options for connecting the button. This is due to the fact that such a system can be built taking into account a wide variety of initial conditions. As an example, below are some options for how to install such an element, possible operation algorithms of the Start-Stop Engine and the components used. Which one to choose is up to you. If the level of knowledge of electronics and circuits is high enough, you can make your own based on any of the options, you just need to understand the principle.

How the ignition key can be used:

1. the key is inserted into the lock, set to position I, and then, after pressing the button, the engine starts (the key allows you to remove the steering wheel lock, which is available on many cars of the VAZ family);
2. the key is not used at all, got into the car - pressed Start-Stop Engine, and the engine started.
3. What buttons can be used, their installation, connection diagram:
4. without locking, in this case it must be pressed and held until the engine starts;
5. with fixation, pressed and released, the beginning of stable operation of the motor will be detected by the electronics and the starter will be turned off.

How the ignition system works:

• its start is carried out separately from starting the engine (pressing Start-Stop Engine turns on the ignition, then presses the brake or clutch again and the engine starts);
• the ignition starts working simultaneously with the engine starting;
• Various blocking of the Start-Stop Engine and ignition is carried out, including (the blocking scheme may involve the use of a signal from a security alarm, an open door sensor, turning on the dimensions, etc.).

These are just some of the possible options and algorithms that allow you to start the engine without a key in the car lock.

We quickly start the VAZ-2110

To start the engine directly, proceed as follows:

• sit in the driver's seat;
• To the left of the steering wheel there is a button that turns on the side lights;
• pull it out with your hands along with the train;
• disconnect the block;
• insert the button so that its 2nd, 3rd and 4th contacts fit into the first three grooves of the bottom row of the terminal (the last one remains free);
• the noise of the fuel pump (it is located under the rear passenger seats) and the flashing display of the panel will indicate that the ignition has worked;
• open the hood;
• find the starter;
• short-circuit the contacts (with a knife, screwdriver or something else) located on its retractor relay;
• the car starts.

Second way

You need to lean down and look under the steering wheel. Ready! Now you need to remove the wire from the ignition switch pin and bring them all together. This ensures that both the headlights and the starter will work, but most importantly, the ignition will work. After this, you need to find the wire from the starter; you remove it from the total mass. We wrap the remaining wires together, and you have ensured that the ignition works. By lightly touching the starting wire to this entire group of wires, the engine starts.

How to get into the salon if the door key is also lost

For the first method, you will need about half a meter of thin steel (1-2 millimeters) wire. Make a rounded hook at one end of the segment and bend it at the other so that the improvised tool does not accidentally fall into the empty space of the door. Next, do this:

• pull out the glass seal located at its base from the driver’s seat;
• Insert the hook into the opened slot;
• carefully move it under the lock drive;
• hook and pull up;
• The button comes out easily.

If you have a metal ruler, that will also work (we don’t recommend using a plastic one - it will most likely break). First of all, remove the seal. Now insert the plate strictly into the center of the glass - it should ideally rest against the lock rod. Press the door harder - lean on it to make it easier for the tongue to come out of the groove. Press down on the rod and, as soon as you hear a click, pull the handle towards you.

Disabling the immobilizer

Before bypassing the immobilizer on Kalina and other AvtoVAZ creations, it is better, of course, to consult with a specialist, but if your knowledge of electronics allows, then you can save money on this procedure. In addition to the necessary knowledge, you will need:

• knob;
• universal joint;
• crosshead screwdriver;
• extension;
• figured bat.

Armed with everything you need, unscrew the battery and remove the protection from the dashboard. The capricious immobilizer will be located behind the heating controls, not far from the radio. Externally, the device looks discreet, like a small black box measuring 5x10 cm. After that, the hardest part begins.

To remove the treasured black box, you need to unscrew the bolts that connect the device to the control panel. Before this, you need to turn off the power supply from the APS; to do this, pull out the plug and hold it with a special lock. Don't forget to reactivate the diagnostic line after the immobilizer has been removed. Disabling the Priora or Kalina immobilizer is completed, now we need to configure the APS.

The most important thing at this stage is to completely delete all information that was left in the ECU (volatile memory) unit. This will be more difficult to do, since the immobilizer will most likely be equipped with an EEPROM system, which is responsible for storing data. There are two ways to solve this problem:

• You can modify the control unit by resoldering the chip resistor. To do this, you need to connect the unit to a PC and use a special pack-loader to read the firmware. After this, it is enough to install new EEPROM firmware and solder the chip in its rightful place.
• You don’t have to remove the chip and use the Combiset program, which works on the same principle as EEPROM.

In some immobilizer models, “tricky” EEPROMs are installed, from which it is impossible to delete all information, and unnecessary “tails” will not lead to anything good. How to disable the Priora immobilizer in this case? Yes, very simple, edit the dump file. To do this, you need to replace its bytes and enter the combination FF instead of 2-7 digits.

In order to open the ECU from the immobilizer, you need to remove the standard wiring connector and count contacts 9 and 18 in it (there are 20 in total). These wires must be bundled and insulated.

The matter remains small. We connect all the connectors to the control unit and put it back. We install the console and start the engine without any problems. Ready!

Dealing with the wires

It is necessary to remove the plastic protection from the steering column to gain access to the wires of the contact group. Your focus will be on the wires that are connected to the ignition switch. They are often divided into three groups:

• the power supply to the lock is the wire that comes from the battery;
• power distribution across the main vehicle systems;
• supplying power to the starter.

Also among this bundle of wires there will definitely be a grounding wire, which we are looking for first. This wire is the only black color. If your car uses an alternative electrical wiring diagram, the ground wire will be green.

Next we go in search of the power wire. Often it has a yellow or red color - the brightest and most voluminous wire of the entire contact group. To be sure of the correct choice of wires, it would be great to use a multitester or a regular light bulb. If power wires , then you can start the car only by tying them all into one bundle.

The most difficult process is finding the wire that supplies power to the starter. There is only one way to do this: check each wire one by one. It is necessary to connect the remaining wires with power and look at the result. One will turn on the lights, the other will trigger the alarm, and so on. This will take you to the starter wire, which needs to be marked somehow. Next comes the most crucial moment.

Ignition switch malfunctions

The ignition switch on a VAZ 2110 must be replaced if its operation cannot be restored in any way or the key is broken/lost. In other cases, they are usually repaired.

There are two groups of main breakdowns:

1. The mechanics are faulty . The most common problem is the breakage of the larva. The keys are made of soft metal, so they are unreliable and can often simply break off. There is also a problem with the steering wheel locking or the key may simply get stuck when in the on position.
2. Wear of the contact group . No matter what kind of damage you have, you will still have to dismantle the lock. If the tongue of the blocker is jammed, you will have to work hard to correct the situation. The contact group or larva is quite easy to repair.

In order to check the ignition switch on a VAZ 2110, there are many instructions and methods, we will consider some of them.

Detailed instructions for checking faults in the ignition switch:

1. The first thing to do is disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.
2. Remove the plastic cover of the steering column to get to the contacts of the pads, because it is with their help that power is connected to the car's electrical wiring. Next, disconnect the connector of the harness itself from the on-board network and pull it out.

Cases in which the problem can be solved on site

If the starter does not turn, there are several ways to start the car:

• close the starter contacts with a screwdriver;
• Connect the starter directly to the battery.

In an automobile system, the starter has a separate role - to spin the crankshaft to create the required torque and compression ratio for the fuel-air mixture. Naturally, the starter functions in conjunction with other components and electrical systems. Therefore, damage of various properties may occur:

• lack of voltage in the on-board network;
• battery discharge;
• damage to wires;
• problem in the ignition switch;
• mismatch of oil viscosity in the crankcase;
• weakening of contacts.

If the starter does not work, then in most cases the traction relay fails, the coil winding burns out, the bendix slips, or the screw thread drive runs slowly.

Some damage to the starter allows it to operate normally when the engine is running. But he fails to spin the heavy flywheel the first time. In any case, after a successful start, it is necessary to urgently take the starter for professional diagnostics in order to identify the true cause of the malfunction.

Start GAZ 3110 without a key (part 1) - logbook of GAZ 31 2.0 turbo 1998 on DRIVE2

Good night everyone. I visited my drunken head to conduct an experiment. How can you start a GAZ 3110 without a key? Imagine that you find yourself in a naked movie. You need to save the lives of yourself and your family. You are wandering among the snow and severe frost. The Volga is ready to save you))), but you don’t have the keys. How to start it)))? You don't have the option of using the starter and battery, because... There are no keys. You need to start the device through the ignition switch. When writing the article, it was not possible to find out the readiness of the battery. I will point out one thing - advice on shorting the battery - starter is not relevant, because you need a key to supply the ignition (for those who are especially remote, it has been verified that the method does not work without a key). I will attach a PHOTO later. I am doing this for the first time and at my own peril and risk, because I have two GAZ 3110. The ignition switch is held on by one bolt. You twist it. Disconnect everything. And here a problem arises for a beginner...)))) P.S.: There is a lot of water and fire extinguishers. Without reading the Internet, but after watching enough American films. I take the cable and try to close it without disconnecting it from the connector. From a conversation among the people - to combine blue and red. There are a lot of wires in the Volga. In short, the result is that so far my attempts to start and save myself have not been successful... The experiment continues...

As I said above, I don’t know what needs to be done normally, the photo is in Part 2.

P.S.: I’m such a person, well, I don’t believe that it’s impossible not to do this...)))

Please tell me how the standard immobilizer and engine autostart behave after installing this system?

There are no changes in the operation of the immobilizer, since this button is connected to the standard connector of a conventional ignition switch and only performs its function. As for autostart, you need to look at the connection diagram. But since most alarms are connected to the key, the auto start will not see this button. The button simply emits the operation of the key in the ignition switch. But there are a number of disadvantages: the car cannot start from the pusher)) and when the battery is very discharged, the button block takes on a charge and the car does not envy without lighting it.

Why is this necessary?

The reasons can be very diverse:

• changed (simplified) engine starting process;
• reducing the number of items in pockets;
• the desire to stand out and many others.

It is best to leave aside attempts to figure out why such a desire arises and understand how to install a button to start the engine (in further text it may be referred to as Start-Stop Engine or abbreviated SSE).

When you don't want to bother

If you realize that the described options cannot be implemented on your own, then you should seek help from specialists. Now in any city there are companies providing lock picking services. This is the optimal solution if the standard key was simply forgotten inside the vehicle.

It should not be ruled out that calling a professional will cost less than eliminating the consequences of your inept actions. A specialist is able to open the car without leaving the slightest scratch on it.

Keep in mind that you will have to document that the car belongs to you.

The second option is to call a tow truck. This will have to be done if a chip key is needed to open (start) the car. Replacing the latter involves installing a new core, and this is difficult to do outside a service station.

In the described situation, access to the interior or starting the engine is a secondary task, which can be solved without any problems in a car repair shop.

Precautions - what to do before starting the engine

Before we tell you how to start a car without a key, we consider it necessary to warn the reader about the possible consequences. First, keep in mind that not every car can be started without using the ignition key . Modern cars use a keyless entry system and push-button engine start. It will be possible to get inside and start the power unit only if the driver has the treasured key in his pocket. If the ignition system breaks down in such cars, you will have to wait for emergency assistance .

So we believe that we have a car with a conventional ignition switch. But here, too, everything is not as simple as we would like:

• The steering wheel lock will work the first time you turn the steering wheel without the ignition key inserted into the lock;
• on the car it is possible to use additional safety measures that can also be turned off with a key (for example, a gearbox lock);
• On modern cars, the alarm key fob is located on the key, so that when trying to start the car, the alarm will go off in the future.

But these problems can be dealt with. The steering wheel lock can be broken by vigorously jerking the steering wheel. True, in the future the ignition switch along with the entire contact group will have to be changed. If you have one key for the ignition and doors, then you will have to change the door lock cylinders . This is a very expensive process.

If the car has a gearbox lock, the only reasonable options would be to find a key or make a new one - there is no other way to disable this system. You yourself wanted to protect your car from intruders.

The alarm problem can be solved by pressing the emergency alarm shutdown button. Another option is to remove the power terminals from the alarm speaker, which is usually located under the hood.

This way you will solve the main problems and prepare the car for the trip. But keep in mind that the costs of future transport restoration may be very significant.

How else can you start the car if the starter does not turn?

There are other ways to start a car without a starter: by towing or using a pushrod.

Important! Both options are not suitable for cars with automatic transmission, since due to the design features of the automatic transmission, negative consequences are possible.

Pushing is a more common method among motorists, but requires the help of several people.

Towing a car will require a strong cable. It connects to the hook of another car, after which it moves off. If there are no ignition problems or other engine malfunctions, it almost always starts.

It’s just important to follow a few rules:

• The leading vehicle should not start from a place abruptly, at high speed, as the bumper can be torn out of place or the cable can break;
• the towed car is prohibited from sharply braking or stopping while the leading car is driving, which also threatens to break the cable and other consequences;
• Do not turn off the engine while unhooking the cable, otherwise it may not start again.

The “push” method is suitable for any model, the main thing is that several pairs of hands firmly rest on the trunk or hood of the car. It is advisable to set the gearbox to 2nd, 4th or reverse gear. The faster the car accelerates, the greater the chance of starting the engine. Therefore, it is recommended to push the product on the descent.

Another launch option is suitable for cars with front-wheel drive. It is necessary to lift the car and hang one of the wheels. Then turn it all the way away from the car, wrap a towing cable or a strong rope 5 meters long around the tire. Set to third gear and turn on the ignition. Pull the cord sharply, spinning the wheel. After starting the engine, place the gear lever in neutral. This method is carried out with an assistant - one person sits in the car, the other pulls the rope.

Using a metal plate

A plate similar in size to the metal part of the ignition key is inserted into the ignition switch. The protruding part of the plate is turned with force with a screwdriver, like a lever, to break the lock. The plate is rotated in the same direction as the key. After turning the plate, the car should start.

In addition to solving starting problems, you will have to eliminate the effect of the steering lock by making sharp turns from the extreme right to the extreme left and back.

To remove the car from the alarm system, you need to switch the alarm button to the “Vallet” mode.

The simplest way, without destructive actions and subsequent repairs, is to power the ignition coil and starter directly from the battery.

Towing a gazelle

The third method is to tow a car with a dead battery.
To do this, you will need a third-party car that will drag (tow) the gazelle by the cable until its engine starts. This method is similar to pushing a car, but it is more effective. Important! Drivers of both vehicles must exercise caution when towing. Braking should be safe for the car in front, and at the same time, the vehicle attached to the cable should not be completely “turned off” when performing a stopping maneuver.

Comments on the manual

Brown 04/06/2011

Oh, what good advice, of course not for hijackers, but for those who experienced force majeure)). In films, often, especially in chase scenes, the main characters often start cars in this way. But this happened to my friends at their dacha, when a drunk neighbor dropped his keys into the well, and they had to go. But they did not know such advice, so they had to wait a long time for help.

Ivanov 04/06/2011

And I know how to do this, my father taught me. It was very cool, but a little scary. What if it hits you with electricity? But everything always worked out well, I often boasted to the guys about my skills. But with guidance, anyone can do it.

Nik 04/06/2011

It's that simple. My brother started the car like this when he was 10 years old, nothing complicated. But I don’t recommend repeating this to girls; after all, working with electricity is not for girls. But they should know that in extreme cases this method can be used.

Sweetie 03/28/2012

Still, working with electricity is not for girls - what kind of chauvinism is this? Any job for girls, if the girl has enough brains. Well, maybe, except for unloading cars with coal, and then only because of low productivity%)))))

Reasons why a diesel engine does not want to start

A diesel engine is distinguished by the absence of spark plugs and the principle of compression ignition. Often the car does not start because the diesel engine is very demanding on the quality of fuel, especially when driving in winter.

That’s why you can protect yourself by using special depressant additives, or in common parlance – anti-gels. Such additives prevent diesel fuel from freezing during cold periods. The range of such additives is wide; it is recommended to choose products from well-known manufacturers that have proven their effectiveness and safety. One of the leaders in tests and consumer reviews is the product of the famous German brand, LIQUI MOLY Diesel Fliess-Fit antigel. The product is distinguished by a high degree of fuel modification and absolute safety for the fuel equipment of a diesel engine.

Starting a gazelle on gas in the winter season

Drivers are not immune to situations where it will depend on the knowledge and sequence of their actions whether they can quickly solve the problem (away from a gas station) with an empty tank in winter and how to start a Gazelle without gasoline at sub-zero temperatures, using gas equipment, but only when the gearbox is hot.

When the driver is under time pressure (in other words, pressed for time), then ordinary hot water, within 60-90 degrees, can be used to speed up the preparation of the car for departure. It must be carefully poured onto the gearbox, without getting on the electrical wiring, until the engine starts and the antifreeze warms up. A few minutes will be enough for this. But such actions should be carried out as a last resort.

Twist

To twist, you will need a Phillips screwdriver and a paper clip (piece of wire).

The ignition switch connectors (blocks) on different cars may differ from each other. There are types of connectors from which you can remove the wires with an awl. Only after removal are they twisted together (without the red wire).

After starting the engine, the red wire is immediately removed from the twist. Otherwise the starter may break.

Attention! If you do not remove the wire from the battery terminal, the engine may start when twisting the wires and a short circuit may occur.

Winding by short circuit

Will it be possible to get new keys from the dealer?

Usually, replacing cylinders and making a new key directly from an authorized dealer is not a cheap pleasure. In addition, the waiting time is usually unacceptably long, since your order will probably be sent to the factory.

However, in some cases you will definitely have to contact the dealer. This is done when:

• The warranty period has not yet expired and you do not want to lose it;
• it is not possible to find the required lock cores or keys on the open market;
• you need to make a duplicate (the code of the original product is saved on your passport);
• The manufacturer can make a new unlocking device based only on the vehicle's VIN number.

Helpful Tips and Warnings

When undertaking this type of installation work, be prepared for unforeseen circumstances. Use the above methods only in extreme cases, since almost all of them lead to irreversible changes in the design of the car, which can only be eliminated through repair work. In case of incorrect actions, the car may be damaged to such an extent that even specialists cannot eliminate it.

After starting the engine, never leave the ignition wires twisted. Because of this, the engine ignition system can be severely damaged and the battery discharged. For most cars, if the car is started incorrectly without a key, the alarm will be activated. And car models with a computer chip in the ignition switch will not start without a key, because it controls the operation of the electronic control module. This module is directly responsible for starting the engine.

If the ignition wires are disconnected while driving, the engine stops instantly and the car may be de-energized (read about how to replace the ignition switch contact group). The steering and brakes may also fail, so do not allow the wires to become disconnected. To avoid electric shock, use dielectric gloves. But even with these gloves, you should not touch the exposed contacts.

conclusions

As mentioned earlier, the above methods are not commonplace, since they involve changes in the design of the car. If the car belongs to you, then you are responsible for all installation work. If you use methods to start the engine of someone else’s car, including for the purpose of stealing it, then you will be held criminally liable.

Explain to the owner all the risks associated with non-trivial engine starting. In the case of modern cars, there will be no other way out other than searching for a lost key or making a duplicate of it. All modern models are equipped with anti-theft mechanisms to protect against such actions. It is impossible to manually stop the actions of such mechanisms without damaging the car. Good luck and easy travels!
