How to start a car without an ignition key VAZ 2112 16 valves

Sometimes unforeseen situations happen in life and any driver can be left without the keys to their car. And such incidents most often occur in nature or in the country. And in order to get to a car service center to replace all the car’s locks, you will first have to start it without a key.

Many modern cars are designed in such a way that they cannot be started without a key. They are equipped with numerous protective mechanisms that can block the steering wheel and starter. Computer chips in the ignition switch will also prevent you from using the vehicle without a key.

Most modern cars cannot be started without a key.

Even knowing how to start a car without a key, only those who own cars produced in the 80s and 90s, and in particular the VAZ 2106 or other models of this automaker, will be able to take advantage of this opportunity.

One of the simplest methods

This method consists of connecting wiring according to an existing circuit. This allows you to start the Zhiguli without a key. VAZ-2106 and other similar models are launched according to these instructions.

  1. Remove the steering column cover, which is secured with a pair of screws.
  2. After removing the column, you will have access to the ignition switch, to the wires running from the battery and starter to the ground cord.
  3. The main thing is to know which specific wiring needs to be used. Mostly the ground wire is black or green, but you should still check this so that the on-board system of the machine does not short-circuit. Use a tester to determine if the cord is a grounding cord. To do this, the wire is connected to the metal body of the Zhiguli, the instrument needle must remain at the value “0”. If everything is correct, the wire needs to be insulated.
  4. Connect the remaining two wires to each other, connect to the battery and starter. After this, the latter receives an electric starting current, and the car starts.
  5. Before driving the car, one of the wires must be insulated so that the starter does not start spinning while driving.

It should be said that if the wire is poorly grounded, this can lead to a short circuit of all electronics in a VAZ-2106 car or in other models, so the more electronic equipment is installed, the more expensive it is to make subsequent repairs.

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.

How else to start a VAZ-2106 without a key

If you are the owner of a car manufactured in the 60-70s, it is not at all necessary to dismantle the steering column casing to implement keyless starting. In this case, you only need to remove the ignition lock cylinder, which has a small recess; it must be turned using a minus screwdriver. In this case, there is no need to connect and isolate wires.

After simple manipulations, the Zhiguli 2106 model should start, and the greatest advantage is that it is almost impossible to damage electronic equipment.

Ignition switch repair

To replace faulty parts of the ignition switch, it must be disconnected and removed. To do this, be sure to follow the rules of caution and also have a screwdriver and an awl on hand. We will look at dismantling the lock using the example of “classic” VAZ car models (2101-2107). On these cars, the ignition switch is located on the lower left side of the steering column. In later models, the ignition key is moved to the right side of the steering column, which is generally convenient for right-handed drivers.

Universal method

There is a method in which the main component is a screwdriver. This option is suitable not only for the VAZ-2106, but also for more modern models, for example, for the 2109. Before starting the car without a key in this way, make sure that the battery is fully charged. If the unit is not charged enough, the starter will receive less electricity, so the engine may not start.

Another significant drawback is that after hacking, you will have to buy and install a new ignition switch; it will not be possible to restore the old one. Therefore, sometimes turning to specialists at a car service center is not only safer, but also more profitable.

If you are completely confident that you can carry out these manipulations, get to work by first preparing the drill. The drill should be installed just above the ignition switch, drilling a hole that is equal to the length of the key. This way all the pins will be destroyed. In some cases, this step must be repeated more than once in order to achieve the desired result.

After this, you need to insert a minus screwdriver into the hole, turning it clockwise. As a result, the VAZ-2106 will start, and you can go along your route.

It is worth noting that before using the methods listed above, make sure that you are ready to perform all the steps correctly, because any mistake can lead to significant damage and expensive repairs.

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.

How to direct power to the shield

Another effective method, applicable for a VAZ car and other vehicles, is to direct the power supply to the panel. To do this, you should perform the following sequence of actions:

  1. Open the hood, find the red wire coming from the ignition coil. The wires from the coil and spark plug are located at the rear of almost any V engine. In engines with four cylinders, they are located on the right, in the middle of the engine. Six-cylinder engines are distinguished by the location of the wires on the left in the middle part. Once you have decided on the wires, they should be removed to start the external power source.
  2. The wires must be connected to the coil and to the positive terminal of the battery. Thus, the required amount of power will be supplied to the panel to start the engine.
  3. We find the ignition coil.
  4. We unlock the steering wheel by inserting a flat-head screwdriver into the center of the steering column. Next you should press between it and the steering wheel. During the process, care must be taken to ensure that the pins do not break. Finally, connect the positive terminal of the battery to the coil. On top of it is a battery cable with a “+” sign under another short wire.

Next, remove the ignition switch wiring and, using a screwdriver with a dielectric handle, connect the positive terminal of the coil to the one that connects to the ignition switch. In this case, 12 volts will be connected directly from the battery.

These manipulations allow you to engage the coil, and the starter will start the engine.

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.

Thus, a malfunction of the starter can be caused by:

  • faulty start relay;
  • Bendix wear;
  • problems with the solenoid relay;
  • combustion of the internal elements of the unit.

How to start a car without a key

Most likely, every car enthusiast has at least once in his life found himself in a sticky situation when, for some reason, he had to try to start the car without the ignition key.
The most common reason is the loss of a key; it often falls off the ring on the keychain, gets lost on its own or along with a purse, handbag, and so on.

Another reason is the key breaking right in the ignition switch. And another common reason is that the ignition does not turn on when you turn the key.

As for starting the car in the third case, everyone knows what to do. We must try to start the car using a pushrod. Unless, of course, the reason is a dead battery or a fault in the starter.

To check, you need to see if there is a spark, and if there is, try to push the car. It is difficult to do this alone, but if you ask for help, you can easily start the car from the pushrod.

To do this, first set the speed switch to neutral, and after acceleration, turn the ignition key, press the clutch, engage the second speed and release the clutch. As a rule, the car starts quickly.

If you don't have the ignition key, there are several ways. It is advisable to have a small flathead screwdriver in the car just in case. Use a screwdriver to unscrew that part of the panel that blocks access to the ignition switch.

All fasteners connecting the ignition switch and steering are removed. Uncoupling will unlock the steering wheel, this is the very first step - unlocking the steering wheel. Then the screws connecting the two parts of the ignition switch - mechanical and electrical - are unscrewed.

Attention! You just need to unscrew the screws, do not separate anything.

After these simple procedures, the screwdriver is inserted into the hole intended for the ignition key and turned in the same direction in which the key is usually turned. After this, the car should start.

But how can you start a car without a key if you don’t have a suitable screwdriver at hand?

Everyone has probably seen more than once how dashing car thieves and tough guys instantly start a car by connecting two wires to each other.

In fact, everything is not so simple and such manipulations can be done by very professional people who know EVERYTHING about car electricians.

You need to know which wires to connect to each other. As a rule, the best assistant here is the simplest multitester, which, like a screwdriver, is recommended to have in every car. But this is in theory; in practice, almost no one has it.

But if you still have a multitester, then everything is really simple. Having repeated all the steps described above, starting with removing the casing under the steering column and freeing the wiring going to the ignition switch, you must first find the ground and insulate it.

By the way, perhaps there is a small light bulb nearby; it will also show which wire is “ground”. If there is neither a light bulb nor a tester, you can guess by the color of the wire; the grounding wire is usually black or green.

The remaining live wires can be shorted one by one to ground, but only for the shortest possible time so as not to burn the wiring. If you have a multitester or a light bulb, it will not be difficult to identify all of them simply by connecting them through the device one by one to ground.

All live wires must be carefully collected into a bundle and ensure that they do not shorten onto the housing. The third will be the starter wire. It's easy to find, but first of all you need to put the car on the handbrake and neutral.

Alternately, the remaining free wires must be connected to the live group. Which will turn on the starter. that's the one you need.

Next, all that remains is to connect these wires, and the car will start. After this, disconnect the starter wire from the first two groups and insulate it if possible. To stop the engine then it is enough to open the “ground” and “voltage”.

As a one-time measure, these methods can be used, but it should be remembered that electrical wiring is quite dangerous to use without insulation.

Due to inexperience or carelessness, you can ruin all the wiring. It is best to have a second key hidden in the car just in case and not take it to extremes.

All options are acceptable only for those who are confident in their abilities and knowledge. It is advisable to have a duty kit in your car, consisting of a multitester, a small flashlight bulb, insulating tape, a set of candles and a spare belt.

Starting a Lada engine without a starter

If the starter does not work or the battery is dead, then you can start the Lada with a pusher or with a crooked starter. We will consider each method in detail separately.

How to start with a pushrod

You can push the car yourself on a flat road, but you will need certain equipment there; it is better to act if there is a hill/slope.

How to start a car with a pushrod

You can start a Zhiguli with a discharged battery from a pusher in this way:

If you have an assistant or another machine, everything is easier. Enough:

Starting the engine manually

Another way to start a Zhiguli if the starter does not work is to start from a “crooked” position. This way you can start old VAZs of the classic family that have a manual starter function (there is a hole in the crankshaft pulley and in the bumper). To start a VAZ with a crooked starter, you need:

Starting a VAZ from a crooked starter

A useful recommendation from the owner of a VAZ 2101: after pumping up gasoline with a gas pump, first turn it slowly 5 times, then get into the car and pull out the choke. Depress the gas pedal 10 times and turn on the ignition. Then set the starter knob to the “5 o’clock” position and sharply turn the knob clockwise. The engine will be able to start the second or third time. You need to scroll with gloves or a wrapped rag. Don’t try to use it like a sewing machine—one sharp tug is all it takes. Be careful not only with the placement of your fingers on the handle, but also so that after starting you do not puncture the radiator. The end of the curve flies off the ratchet and it’s very easy to throw it somewhere to the side!

How to start a car without a key and without problems

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.

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!

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.

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

HOW TO START A VAZ 2110 WITHOUT A KEY

Video, helped... In winter, sit for 7 hours in a car that is not started.... And the video helped, thank you very much brother.

The steering wheel will remain mechanically locked. It's not possible to travel.

If the ignition switch is working properly, the steering wheel will remain mechanically locked. It’s impossible to go all the same. You need to use something to break the steering lock.

I have to tell you.

The mistake can be here?

I apologize, I can’t help you, but I’m sure they will help you find the right solution.

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.

Using a metal plate

Another fairly simple way to solve the problem is to use a metal plate. The idea is to use a record instead of a key.


It is necessary to select a piece of plate similar in length and insert it into the keyhole. Next, just insert a flat-tip screwdriver and turn it with a little force. Most often, with this procedure, the lock requires replacement.

Important! The length of the plate should be such that its end protrudes slightly from the well.

After starting the motor using the plate, you should contact service or replace the device yourself with a new one. If it is impossible to remove the metal plate yourself, you should dismantle the lock completely.
