Toyota Corolla License Plate Lights Do Not Light Up

If you notice that the rear license plate light on your VAZ 2110-2112 has begun to glow dimly, then most likely the light bulb in one of the lampshades has burned out. If the lighting completely disappears, then both lamps may have failed. The location of these lampshades is clearly shown in the photo below.

Now, using a Phillips screwdriver, you need to unscrew two screws:

And moving the glass of the lampshade to the side, freeing it from the latch, you need to remove it:

And now access to the light bulb is gained and it can be easily removed and replaced.

Installation of the lamp takes place in the reverse order, after which this entire structure is assembled and put in place. Everything is quite simple and will not take you more than 5 minutes of time. The price of one such light bulb does not exceed 30 rubles, although in most cases it costs even less.

Any Lada Kalina (be it a sedan, hatchback or station wagon) must be equipped with illuminated rear license plates. Manufacturers install two lamps on the lower side of the car trunk saber.

What kind of lighting do you prefer?

Built-in Chandelier

Sooner or later these lamps burn out. Some car enthusiasts decide to leave everything as is and do not change the light bulbs. This is fundamentally wrong behavior, because it has not the most pleasant consequences.

The fact is that any traffic police officer has every right to fine a person who is driving a Lada Kalina with unlit license plates. In addition, the basis for a fine is not only the lack of license plate lighting, but also the incorrect installation of the lights.

Car license plate illumination: fines and traffic rules

If the license plate light on your car does not light up, and you were stopped by the traffic police, you can claim that you left with an illuminated license plate, but a breakdown occurred along the way.

Expert opinion

Ask questions to the “Specialist for modernization of energy generation systems”

Lada Vesta license plate illumination: why it does not light up The license plate illumination does not light up due to a break in the wires at the point where they are bent when the body element on which the license plate is attached, the trunk lid, the fifth door, and so on, moves. Ask, I'm in touch!

Fuse box

The fuse box in Grant is located to the left of the steering column, near the light switches. To remove the cover and access the fuses and relays, pull the top left side of the cover towards you. It’s made conveniently, everything is at hand and you don’t have to climb anywhere when getting up from the driver’s seat. Maybe this is a hint that they will often have to be changed, or maybe just convenience - the developers know better.

F1 (15 A) - engine control unit, injectors, ignition coil, cooling fan relay, short circuit 2x2.

If you have problems with electronics, and replacing this fuse does not help, in the worst case scenario, you will have to reflash the ECU or replace it. Also, if this fuse blows, the injectors and ignition coil stop working, which makes engine operation impossible. Therefore, if the Grant does not start, check this fuse first.

F2 (30 A) - electric windows.

If they do not work and replacing the fuse does not help, try unplugging it completely or removing the terminal from the battery for a couple of minutes, then connect it again. In this way, all temporary errors should be reset and if this is the case, the power windows will work again.

F3 (15 A) - alarm. If it doesn’t work, check this fuse, as well as the emergency light button, its contacts and the functionality of the lamps.

F4 (20 A) - windshield wiper, airbag. If the airbag warning light on the instrument panel comes on, check this fuse. The problem could be either in it, or in the electronic unit, or in the pillows themselves.

If the windshield wiper does not work and this fuse is intact, also check relay K6, the power handle, the reliability of the connectors connected to it, as well as the electric wiper drive itself.

F5 (7.5 A) - terminal 15 of the ignition switch. If you have problems turning on the ignition, check this fuse, as well as the reliability of the wire connections to the lock terminals.

F6 (7.5 A) - reverse lamp. If it does not work, but this fuse is intact, check the lamp itself, as well as the contacts connecting the connectors to the headlight.

F7 (7.5 A) - Mass air flow sensor, adsorber valve, oxygen sensor, speed sensor. If the engine runs erratically, does not idle, or stalls spontaneously, the problem may be this fuse or the corresponding sensor. We already had an article on how to check the mass air flow sensor.

F8 (30 A) - heated rear window. If it does not work, check this fuse, the terminals connecting the wires to the heater, and the integrity of its elements.

F9 (5 A) - right side lamps

F10 (5 A) - left side lamps. If the dimensions do not light up, the problem may be in these fuses or in the lamps themselves, as well as their connectors. It wouldn't hurt to check the headlight switch on the dashboard.

Why doesn't it light up?

• First, remove the cover of the mounting block and make sure that the fuse is intact. The fuse markings are located on the inner surface of the cover. You should look for fuse F16 or F5, depending on the year of manufacture of your VAZ 2109.
• If the fuse is intact, be sure to check whether the contacts of the fuse you are looking for have not oxidized. It is not uncommon for shields to fail due to broken contact.
• Check if there is power to the dashboard. To do this, you will need a warning light and the ignition on. Disconnect connector X4 in the mounting block and check for voltage at pin 3. The disadvantage of the VAZ 2109 design is that when it rains, the mounting block immediately becomes wet. This causes oxidation of the contacts in the pads, which causes the electrics to stop working. Sometimes not only the contact is oxidized, but also the board of the Nine mounting block.

If none of the above actions yielded results, you will have to be disappointed. After all, now you need to remove the dashboard and check the condition of the wiring, contacts, and negative connections. Here it is better to trust a professional electrician or set aside a whole day to troubleshoot problems yourself. There is no need to rush here.

Re: Resolved: License plate lights do not light up, fuse is intact

drummer04 , there should be a plug on the right under the trunk trim, once my “dad” flew out there and the number stopped lighting up. Poke it with a tester or control, if there is +12, then the problem is in the trunk (the wire is broken or something else)

Tuning the ceiling

Such a pleasant and exciting thing for a car enthusiast as do-it-yourself tuning is also possible with a courtesy lamp. Instead of the usual one, a lampshade with a programmable LED lamp is installed. It has advanced features:

• selection of three brightness modes, this selection is made by switching the switch at intervals of one second, the last switching on is remembered;
• shutdown delay 6–8 seconds with smooth lamp extinguishing;
• automatic shutdown when the door is not closed or not tightly closed after 30 minutes.

The price for such a lamp is only about five hundred rubles, so the choice is obvious.

The procedure for installing and connecting a lamp with a programmable LED lamp:

• the plastic diffuser of the standard lamp is removed;
• the wires are disconnected from the contacts of this device;
• the four self-tapping screws holding the light housing on the body ceiling are turned out and the body of the old device is removed;
• the LED illuminator is released from the plastic transparent diffuser cover;
• the electrical wiring is connected to the plugs of the LED illuminator in accordance with the diagram;
• the body of the new lamp is attached to the ceiling of the body in a regular place with self-tapping screws;
• The plastic diffuser is fixed on the body.

It should be noted that such a lighting device produces brighter light, which in the dark is a good help for all people who are in the car.

Hello, today we will show you how to remove and replace the license plate lamps on a VAZ 2113, 2114. According to traffic rules, the license plate lamps must be in working order, so if you notice that one of the lamps has burned out, then it needs to be replaced.

Welcome! Illumination of the rear license plate - it is useful for cops and for cars driving behind, the license plate is hard to see in the dark, but if it is illuminated by a lamp, then it is visible as during the day and you can easily read it without driving close to the car, so this thing in some cases will even useful, for example, you are being chased by a car unknown to you, you report the number of your car to the duty station and there they will send an order to you, if the rear number is difficult to see and special service vehicles are approaching from behind, that is, the likelihood is that they will not immediately understand what this is the car that is being chased until you yourself look out of the window and signal the law enforcement agency about it with gestures.

Debugg

Of the possible malfunctions listed above, the average motorist cannot eliminate all of them. It is unlikely that in the middle of the road you can replace a rotten lampshade with something. Not everyone can repair a damaged wiring harness. Therefore, we will not consider such cases in this article.

Having discovered a malfunction of the backlight, let's start by removing the lampshade. It is fastened either with self-tapping screws, or with plastic latches, or with a “screw + latch” combination. All these methods have both pros and cons - plastic latches are easy to break, but a soured self-tapping screw with rolled-up slots is by no means a gift.

Important! Do not apply much force to the plastic shade in the cold, otherwise it will inevitably crack.

On a number of cars, you can unscrew the lamp socket from the lampshade from the inside of the trunk lid, for example, on a Priora. This is often preferable to trying to press the plastic clips of the backlight from the outside, although it is less convenient.

After removing the courtesy light or the backlight bulb socket, first inspect it. A dark bulb or visible damage to the lamp filament is a clear indication for replacement. As a rule, W5W (pictured below) or C5W lamps are used to illuminate the license plate. They do not take up much space in the car, and it is advisable to have them with you just in case.

You can often observe the following situation: a C5W type lamp (cylindrical with end contacts) is installed in the backlight. It may be absolutely fine, but the contacts themselves are oxidized. In this case, it is enough to clean the contacts and bend them slightly to fix the light bulb more securely - sometimes the license plate light does not light up simply because the lamp has jumped out of the spring contacts.

Lamps used in the VAZ 2110 recommended by the manufacturer

The VAZ 2110 car has long been known to Russian drivers. And this is not surprising, since its manufacturer is the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. It first appeared on the market in 1995, and production ended more than ten years ago. Despite this, the car is still often found on Russian roads today.

The VAZ 2110 is a reliable, comfortable, inexpensive to maintain and quite beautiful looking front-wheel drive sedan. If you compare the cost of consumables with foreign cars, you will notice a significant difference. The price of spare parts, fluids and other things for the VAZ 2110 is several times lower. It is also worth noting the efficiency in fuel consumption. A car with a 1.6 liter unit spends 8-10 liters of gasoline per 100 km. Quite playful and fast, acceleration takes 11 seconds.

Having become the owner of such a car, you need to know the type and power of light bulbs that the manufacturer has provided for it. Since periodically they burn out and require replacement.

In what ways can you achieve original license plate lighting?

Recently, there have been frequent cases when LEDs are inserted into the ceiling instead of conventional lamps. Such lighting is bright and attractive, making the car original and interesting.

It is important that the lighting has a color acceptable by GOST standards and that the numbers are readable

It can be installed on a VAZ 2114 car in two ways.

First way

Replace standard incandescent lamps with LED lamps (they have the same contacts as in factory products).

It is also important to choose the right light bulbs; too bright ones will quickly fail and take up too much energy. It’s also not worth installing very expensive products, because the backlight will become very noticeable, distracting drivers from the road process

Low quality light bulbs can have various defects and quickly fail. So we buy light bulbs from trusted representatives and use them economically.

Second way

Install LED strip. To do this, you will need resistors - 3 pieces and the same number of LED strips. Their colors are very diverse, but it is best to choose white or yellow tones.

If a motorist, in spite of everything, wants to replace the standard backlight with LED, the following steps must be followed:

1. Solder a resistor to the positive end of the LED segments.
2. Attach small wires to its end and the negative side.
3. The result is a design with two contacts, which are powered by wires from the standard backlight.

To give the tape an original design, you need to take a piece of plexiglass and glue the strip onto it with silicone sealant. Next, we connect the wires of the tape to the contacts of the factory backlight lamps and make insulation.

At the next stage, we prepare the surface for installing the product:

• remove the lampshades;
• degrease the fastening side with solvent;
• after drying, apply sealant and glue the LED strip;
• We seal the tape along the edges and leave it until completely dry.

We check the operation of the design in action. If everything is functioning correctly, the job has been done effectively. In exactly the same way, you can illuminate the license plate around the edges, but this can lead to problems with the traffic police. Let's remember this!

LED lighting looks attractive both during the day and at night, making the car bright and original.

Original number plate lighting

According to traffic rules, the backlight must always be in working order, and therefore, if there are problems with the lighting of the license plate, they must be urgently eliminated, the light bulb must be replaced, or the cause must be found in the device unit itself. Create all the conditions for efficient and safe movement on the road! Take care of yourself and your car!

Possible fine

It is impossible for additional lighting to be installed in front of the license plate. There is even an article that talks about this. That's right, the article indicates exactly the front number. Therefore, traffic police officers do not have the right to fine people for having a backlight installed on the rear license plate. Bulbs for room illumination can be easily installed right at home and with your own hands. Just before you do this, you need to think about everything, since there is a chance of getting a fine, the price of which can be several times higher than the price of the light bulbs themselves. If, nevertheless, it was decided that light bulbs need to be installed, then it is worth reviewing various photos and videos. If you come across instructions on a given topic along the way, you shouldn’t discard it.

Replacing the license plate light on a Lada Priora car is carried out in case of damage, as well as when carrying out other work in which its presence will interfere with the progress of their implementation. Prepare a standard set of tools and perform the following sequence of actions:

First of all, it is necessary to de-energize the car to prevent the formation of a possible short circuit during dismantling by disconnecting the minus terminal from the battery.

• Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the screws and remove the decorative trim of the trunk lid lock.
• Next, use a socket wrench to unscrew the nuts securing the trunk lid trim.

• Remove the trim.
• Slide the license plate light to the side until it comes out of the mounting slots and can be removed.

• We remove the flashlight from its mounting socket and, having pressed the plastic lock, disconnect the block with the power wires from it.
• Carry out the necessary repairs or replacement, then install in the reverse order.

At this point, the repair work to replace the license plate light on the Lada Priora car has been completed.

A common malfunction of vehicle exterior lighting devices is the failure of the rear license plate illumination. There are many reasons for this:

• Burnout of lamps or damage to their filaments due to vibration and shaking. The simultaneous burnout of all backlight lamps, if there are more than one of them, as on most cars, may be indirect evidence of incorrect operation of the generator - increased voltage in the on-board network. It is recommended to compare it with the normal one for a given car model. But we must take into account that the relatively high voltage in the on-board network (14.6-14.7 V), characteristic of many car brands, is not a malfunction, but significantly reduces the life of low-quality incandescent lamps, and they can often burn out;
• Miscalculations in the aerodynamics of the car, leading to heavy contamination of the installation area of ​​the license plate lights. Liquid will sooner or later begin to leak through the lampshade seals, leading to corrosion of the contacts. Such defects for many car models, for example, the VW Transporter T5, are so frequent that the structures can be transferred from the status of “childhood diseases” to “chronic”;

The license plate backlight does not light up due to a break in the wires at the point where they bend when the body element on which the license plate is attached, the trunk lid, the fifth door, and so on, moves. As a rule, this malfunction is typical of fairly old cars with hardened wiring insulation, which is more prone to fractures. Both the power wire and the ground wire (ground) can be damaged. If there is a short circuit in any circuit powered by the license plate illumination through one fuse, the absolutely serviceable lamp will go out. You will have to look for a fault in this direction if all of the above reasons do not appear.

On vehicles equipped with a towbar, you should pay attention to the contact group of the socket and the condition of the wiring of the trailer itself.

Means and methods for reducing the readability of license plates

In addition to the lack of lighting, a number of other methods are known that can worsen or even eliminate the readability of the state sign. These include:

• reflective paints and varnishes - some of them may interfere with the normal reading of data from the plate by a CCTV camera;
• folding state signs - when the vehicle speed exceeds 50 km/h, the sign simply collapses from the oncoming air flow. Such a violation entails administrative liability and a fine;
• magnetic frame - it is controlled from inside the car. When you press the button, the license plate is covered with a curtain and is impossible to read. It is not difficult for a traffic police officer to prove the fact of deliberate concealment of numbers and bring the driver to justice;
• infrared lighting - it is generally accepted that at night, video surveillance cameras cannot read data in the light of infrared rays, but modern equipment still makes this possible;
• mesh and transparent overlays - all this can also impair the visual perception of the state sign, so the use of such means is the reason for a stop by the traffic police;
• additional stickers and badges - it is prohibited to put any extraneous information on the plate with the license plate; it should only contain what is provided for in the rules. The presence of extraneous symbols and pictures is a reason for bringing to administrative responsibility;
• Dirty license plates are one of the most common ways to make them difficult to read. The rules provide for a warning to the driver and a fine if intent can be proven.

Rear number plate illumination

To install the backlight on the rear license plate, you can do it in two ways:

• Or replace the standard incandescent lamps that are used for lighting with LEDs.
• Or install additional lighting.

The first option is much simpler than the second. To implement it, all you need is:

• Unscrew the lampshade.
• Replace the light bulb with an LED.

Note: The choice of LED color affects what color the backlight will be. Blue or red looks most impressive.

For illumination, you can also use an LED strip, which law enforcement agencies do not like. And in general, because of it you can get a rather large fine.

The second option is not implemented as easily as we would like. However, at the end there will be a beautiful backlighting of the rear license plate:

• Take a piece of plexiglass with a thickness of 3 mm.
• Build about 8 LEDs into it.
• Cover the back with foil.
• LEDs should be ground down to such an extent that they are flush with the plexiglass.
• The diodes need to be distributed in the corners and secured with sealant, due to which moisture will not get here.

Note: do not pay attention to the fact that too many wires come out during operation. In the end, there will still only be two of them left.

Connect the wires either to the standard license plate illumination or to a separate button.

Choosing a light bulb for illumination

Typically, dozens of owners complain that the light bulbs used to illuminate the license plates only function for a few months. However, the reason for this is that the bulbs were selected incorrectly

When choosing light bulbs, you need to pay attention to the following details:

• They shouldn't be too bright. The fact is that due to the increased brightness, the light bulbs quickly fail, since the system may fail due to a drop in energy.
• It is also not worth using expensive light bulbs for this purpose, since the backlight will be too noticeable, because expensive light bulbs are often more powerful than cheap ones.

By the way, the reason light bulbs burn out is not always due to their poor quality. Quite often, light bulbs stop working because there is a failure in the system, as the voltage “jumps.” Therefore, you need to see if the wiring is intact, since problems can arise due to various defects present on it, check the fuses (see VAZ 2110: how to replace fuses). If necessary, it can be insulated.

Selecting lamps and backlight emitters to replace burned out ones

As already mentioned, you should not replace an LED emitter with an incandescent lamp and vice versa. It's easier if there is an incandescent lamp. Usually a standard light bulb with a power of no more than 5 watts is used. Such lamps can be purchased at any normal gas station.

The situation is more complicated for LED designs. If it is not so difficult to purchase emitters for common designs, then for unique car models it is more difficult to do, except perhaps during disassembly.

In this case, you can find ordinary radio amateurs who will change the LEDs element by element, that is, they will perform ordinary radio repairs. LEDs should be replaced as a set. Typically there are three diodes in series on the board. Therefore, even if one of the three is faulty, all three must be replaced.

It is better to choose a powerful LED (about 1 Watt), white, so that there are no complaints from inspectors and during technical inspection. Installation difficulties may arise. LEDs are often connected using spot welding instead of soldering. This will not cause any difficulties for an experienced radio amateur. Active acid fluxes can be used to facilitate soldering. In everyday life, flux is an excellent substitute for an aspirin tablet. Just don't inhale fumes when soldering. They are not dangerous, but extremely unpleasant.

If problems with the license plate illumination cause great difficulty when replacing lamps and emitters, as a last resort, you can purchase a license plate frame with built-in illumination. Difficulties may arise during the technical inspection, but they can be solved.

Tips for purchasing automotive diodes

W5W bulbs are used to illuminate license plates on most car models. But there are manufacturers who equip their brands of cars with C5W lamps, which differ in the type of base. Therefore, when purchasing, you need to know what type of spotlights are installed on a particular car.

There are LED analogues, the installation of which is permitted by law, but within certain limits

It is important that the lamp light is white and the license plate is clearly visible and readable from a distance of 20 meters. In this case, the lighting should illuminate only the sign, and not the entire road behind the vehicle.

When installing a new light bulb, you should pay attention to the power declared by the manufacturer and compatibility with the lampshade. Brighter diodes can cause melting of the contacts, overloading the car's electrical network and darkening the lampshade

We recommend products from the company specified in the instructions for the vehicle from the car dealer. There are many fakes on the market that are almost impossible to distinguish from a high-quality original.

When choosing a product, you should pay attention to the packaging itself, the inscriptions on it, markings and the quality of soldering of the light bulb

The process does not require trips to a car service and can be completed in 10–15 minutes in the garage. Tools needed to replace the license plate lamp:

• damp cloth;
• flat and Phillips screwdrivers;
• liquid key or WD-40;
• LEDs.

Before starting dismantling, you must remove the negative terminal of the battery, first turning off the ignition.

Each car model has its own nuances of the location of light sockets and fastening methods. The standard method is to clamp and install the lampshade onto bolts.

Problems and their solutions

Old and new sample

There are several common problems typical for the dashboard of the domestically produced VAZ 2110 model.

1. The instrument panel lights on the VAZ 2110 do not light up. Check the contacts and the condition of the wiring that is responsible for the suspension. The fuses could simply have blown, or the light bulbs themselves could have burned out as a result of wear and tear or a short circuit. In fact, there can be many reasons, so it is not always possible to resolve the issue in a couple of minutes.
2. The most serious failure for the instrument panel is a complete failure of the unit. In such a situation, all indicators stop working, the arrows fall down, and the warning lamps do not light up. To fix the problem, first check fuse 15, which is designated F6. You will find it on the mounting block. If this element is blown, simply replacing the fuse will not solve the problem. Look for the reason why it burned out. Usually this is a simple short circuit in the electrical network.
3. The arrows jump up and down. This is also a common phenomenon, the cause of which in most cases is poor ground contact: This ground wire goes to the partition that separates the interior and engine compartment, from the instrument panel. To get to it, remove the radio from its seat. Check the quality of its fastening;
4. Often, when installing an alarm system, the ground wire is moved to another location for more convenient access. Therefore, if you have an alarm system, but there is no wire under the radio, then look for it behind the interior trim near the driver’s left foot;
5. The ground wire may be damaged when installing a new audio system. When the minus is connected, the mass is unscrewed and then often mounted back, only not as reliably as it was originally. Due to vibrations, collisions with bumps and holes, the fastening weakens and contact disappears. Hence the non-functional panel. Do not be lazy to properly wrap the bulk wire, since poor fastening is often explained by the inconvenience of performing this activity.

As practice shows, most problems associated with the failure of the dashboard can be solved independently. Especially when it comes to a car like the VAZ 2110.

Improve yourself. Perhaps soon you will be able to change to a more expensive, modern car. Then solving the electronics problem will be much more difficult. The VAZ 2110 is an excellent simulator that allows you to carry out repairs yourself, understand the structure of the car, and experience all the delights of self-repair

It is important for any man to be able not only to drive, but also, if necessary, to repair his car.

Note: do not pay attention to the fact that too many wires come out during operation. In the end, there will still only be two of them left.

Connect the wires either to the standard license plate illumination or to a separate button.

Choosing a light bulb for illumination

Typically, dozens of owners complain that the light bulbs used to illuminate the license plates only function for a few months. However, the reason for this is that the bulbs were selected incorrectly

When choosing light bulbs, you need to pay attention to the following details:

• They shouldn't be too bright. The fact is that due to the increased brightness, the light bulbs quickly fail, since the system may fail due to a drop in energy.
• It is also not worth using expensive light bulbs for this purpose, since the backlight will be too noticeable, because expensive light bulbs are often more powerful than cheap ones.

By the way, the reason light bulbs burn out is not always due to their poor quality. Quite often, light bulbs stop working because there is a failure in the system, as the voltage “jumps.” Therefore, you need to see if the wiring is intact, since problems can arise due to various defects present on it, check the fuses (see VAZ 2110: how to replace fuses). If necessary, it can be insulated.
