The electrical diagram of the VAZ-2106 car is needed in order to find faults in the wiring and quickly eliminate them.

The entire complex of electrical equipment is connected using a single-wire circuit: the negative terminals of the outputs from the current sources are connected to ground directly to the energy-consuming element. As a result, the “ground” in this VAZ-2106 circuit plays the role of the second connecting wire. The figure below shows the complete equipment and wiring diagram of the vehicle.

Full view of the equipment and electrical circuit of the VAZ-2106

The VAZ-2106 diagram at the electrical equipment level is especially useful to the owners of this car when there is a need to quickly find a fault in the electrical wiring system. Have you adjusted the valves on the VAZ-2109? Check the wires!

In addition, the circuit is often used to uniformly connect additional elements and audio devices. If you decide to replace or repair lighting fixtures, the ignition system and other electrical equipment on a VAZ-2106, then using this diagram you will find the required terminal and power source. If you have engine problems, first check the torque of the cylinder head bolts, then check the wiring.

Let's look at this connection diagram in parts, which will describe specific parts and elements of the electrical equipment of the machine.

Lower left part of the VAZ-2106 wiring diagram

This part of the diagram shows the elements and spare parts responsible for the operation of the engine and electrical wiring systems (starters, relays, etc.). If you look from top to bottom, you can see the following elements:

1. Vehicle carburetor solenoid valve kit (21);
2. Design of the automobile generator (22) and the starter itself (23);
3. Battery terminals (24);
4. A set of relays of different types, responsible for receiving a charge for the entire system from the batteries (25), turning on the low beam headlights (26) and high beam headlights (27), as well as a relay that controls the operation of the wiper (28);
5. The end indicates connection to the auxiliary fuse block (29).

Keep calm

You must try to remain calm and cool in all situations. There are situations, especially in limited space, when you have limited your passage while maneuvering and they start honking at you and rushing you. If you start fussing and reacting, you will most likely get into an accident and block the passage.

When a person fusses or is embarrassed to show his inexperience, he begins to frantically make a bunch of mistakes: confuses gears, pedals, turns in the wrong direction, turns the steering wheel in the wrong direction, over-throttles, misjudges the situation, etc.

I think no one wants to stand, wait for the traffic police and waste time on the court. If anything happens, everyone will wait.

If someone honks and swears furiously, then explain to them the consequences. If he wants to speed up the process, then let him help.

Purpose of the turn signal and hazard warning relays

Everyone knows that turn signals and hazard lights flash during operation. This is necessary to attract the attention of other road users. The flickering of lamps cannot be confused with any other signal from lighting devices. A small device called a turn signal relay is responsible for this phenomenon. In addition to flashing the direction indicators, the relay has another function - creating the necessary sound signal (click), which indicates that the direction indicators are working.

The Zhiguli used two types of relays, differing both in their design and in their operating principle.

• The first type is an electromagnetic type relay installed in the engine compartment of a car. The basis of the operation of the electromagnetic thermal relay is a special nichrome string, which, when heated and cooled, closes and opens the turn signal circuit. These types of relays were used on the first models of the “classic” family - VAZ 2101-2102 and VAZ 2103.
• The second type of relay began to be used on VAZ 2106 and higher vehicles. This is an electronic circuit based on semiconductor circuit elements. In addition to semiconductors, the relay also includes an electromagnet that performs closing and opening functions. The frequency of operation of the electromagnet (or the flickering of lamps) is obtained using a “switch” or a special electronic circuit.

The essence of this paragraph of the law

Clause 10.1 of the Russian Traffic Regulations with commentaries has not changed since its introduction and is still in effect. According to it, the driver must choose a safe speed taking into account traffic volume, meteorological conditions and general visibility. If an obstacle or danger to movement appears, the driver is obliged to take action to reduce the speed until the vehicle stops.

The law requires you to reduce your speed to avoid a collision.

The second paragraph clearly states that you should not practice dangerous driving and create emergency situations. If someone cuts off, drives into oncoming traffic, or violates traffic rules, “ramming” the offender’s car is prohibited in any case.

Any maneuver into oncoming traffic - and the one who avoided the accident will be guilty. If the driver did not take measures to stop the vehicle, then he can also be found guilty of the accident, since he violated a specific point.

This means: if you see danger, brake. The most interesting thing about this rule is the consideration of specific precedents. This means that until the accident occurs, clause 10.1 of the traffic rules is not considered violated.

Hazard alarms began to be installed on cars of the VAZ family starting from model 2103, respectively, this was not the case on my handsome penny, and the need for this device was obvious - it’s for a person who has an emergency light to flash on the left, driving through traffic jams and winking at a beautiful girl, or simply , almost legally, stops at a public transport stop in front of the bus and runs to the counter almost without violating traffic rules, but I’m generally silent about a forced technical stop...

So, to install I needed:

– turn signal and hazard warning relay from VAZ 2106 (four contacts)

– socket for connecting a relay (you need to remove 2 extra contacts).

-alarm activation button from VAZ 2106 (six contacts)

– connector for connecting a button

– threads about 5 m of different colors

– electrical tape or heat shrink tubing.

The automatic turn signal switch on the VAZ 2101 and their modifications looks like this:

1. Front direction indicators. 2. Turn signal repeaters on the front fenders. 3.Battery 4. Generator. 5. Ignition switch. 6. Fuse box. 7. Relay switch for direction indicators. 8. Indicator lamp in the instrument panel. 9. Turn signal switch on the steering wheel. 10. Direction indicators in the rear lights.

Reversing out of a parking lot

Clause 9.7 of the Traffic Rules of the Russian Federation

A very common method is to park the car at an angle to the road. If there are almost no problems with entering the parking lot, then leaving the parking lot in reverse is much more difficult. But, if there are no other parked cars in your neighborhood, then the task is simplified, since the visibility zone in this case increases.

If the other car is parked only on the left side, this is also not bad, since when leaving the parking lot, you first need to look back to the right. A car standing on the left can interfere only from the point of view that it can be hit by the left front wing of its own car. But it will be most difficult to leave if there are cars parked on both sides, especially if there is a large car on your right.

The main feature is that you will have to reverse onto the road with a very small visibility area. Before starting a maneuver, look around and assess the road situation, and while performing the maneuver, be prepared to stop at any time.

If you have passengers in your car, ask one of them to get out and give you traffic tips. If there is no one to help, then there is nothing terrible - you still need to leave. Remember that before you leave, you must give way to all cars moving on the roadway.

Having made sure that there are no obstacles, we turn on reverse gear, the right turn signal and slowly drive out of the parking lot. It is better to drive the first two or three meters on straight wheels (remember what the dynamic dimensions of a car are), then depending on the situation. We constantly monitor the front left and rear right wings of our car, as they can easily catch the left and right cars.

When the rear bumper of your car is level with the rear bumper of the right car, it is better to stop and reassess the road situation. If possible, you can use the windows of the car on the right. If this is not possible (for example, that car is tall or its rear windows are heavily tinted), i.e. the view is completely blocked, don’t be lazy, get out of the car, having first put it on the parking brake (handbrake) and look at the road. If there are no obstacles, you can continue leaving.

When your rear window (the back of the rear seat) is level with the rear bumper of the right car, we begin to turn the steering wheel to the right, while simultaneously looking behind the left front fender of our car. As soon as the car has left and is completely in the lane, we turn on the left turn signal and begin to move forward, monitoring the situation behind the car with short glances in the rearview mirror. We need to be prepared for the fact that as we move, someone else may leave the parking lot and they may also have a limited view.

Sometimes drivers, in order to help another driver calmly leave the parking lot, do this: when they see that someone is leaving the parking lot in reverse, they stop before reaching him, turn on the hazard lights and calmly wait. The driver, seeing that he is being let out, calmly completes the maneuver, blinks his emergency lights as a sign of gratitude, and leaves. This is driver solidarity.

The considered options for starting the car to move (leaving the parking lot and integrating into the traffic flow) are cases where the flow is interrupted and we have a “window”. But what to do when the traffic flow is very dense and continuous? This happens often, especially during rush hours.

There is an exit. In this situation, turn on the left turn signal, turn the wheels to the left and start moving slowly with the clutch half-depressed towards the moving cars. We look out the left window so as not to accidentally hit any of the passing cars and slowly approach the stream, flashing the turn signal. In such a situation, someone will definitely stop to let us pass. And then we calmly drive into the second lane and don’t forget to thank the driver who let us through by flashing his emergency lights.

In approximately the same way, driving onto the road from the side of the road is accomplished. When standing on the side of the road, you must first let pass all passing vehicles that you may interfere with with your movement, and only then, after making sure that the maneuver is safe, you can start moving.

Diagnostics of malfunction of the direction indicator relay VAZ 2107

If one day the turn signals stop working. It's time to check what's wrong and, if possible, replace the faulty part of the circuit. You can recognize malfunctions of the turn signal relay by some signs:

• The turn indicators flash too quickly or too slowly. This can happen, but not only due to the turn signal relay. Sometimes the flickering rate of the lamps can change if the wrong wattage lamps are used in the turn signal lamps. However, installing a new relay as a test will not hurt.
• The direction indicators are on but not flashing. This directly indicates a failure of the relay, or rather its electromagnetic part. In this case, the electromagnet closes in one of the positions and cannot return to its original state.
• The turn signals don't work at all. This means that the turn signals and the warning light on the instrument panel do not blink and there are no corresponding relay clicks. However, as in the second case, the malfunction does not always concern the turn signal relay. Sometimes the reason is a malfunction of the panic button.

Practical significance

Slip. To correct the flight, you need to press the left pedal

When the airplane flies sideways, the slip indicator ball is not in its center position. With this position of the aircraft, its aerodynamic drag increases significantly, and the flow of air around the wings becomes unequal: the wing, flying slightly behind, is shaded by the fuselage and has less lift.

In addition, the wings of modern aircraft are swept, and therefore, on an aircraft flying sideways, the left and right wings have different sweep angles. The “front” wing has less sweep, and therefore more lift, than the “rear” wing, which also leads to the development of a roll towards the “rear” wing. To counteract the occurrence of roll, aileron deflection is used. As a result of sliding, the overall drag of the aircraft increases and therefore the flight speed decreases. If the indicated speed is low, sliding can lead to the “rear” wing reaching critical angles of attack, stalling towards the “rear” wing and going into a spin.

Direction indicator connection diagram

Before talking about turn signal malfunctions, you need to know what the turn signal circuit consists of. Includes lights, turn signal relay, switch, fuse and hazard warning light button.

A relay is a switching element in an electrical circuit. This is what ensures that the lamps are switched on and off briefly when the turn signals are operating. The relay receives circuit closure information on both sides of the turn signals from the turn signal switch and the hazard warning light button.

As a result, it closes the desired circuit and ensures the operation of specific light bulbs. Relay position may vary. On new cars it is located in the mounting block, and, for example, on Zhiguli cars - behind the dashboard. There it is fixed with a special ring, screwed with a nut to the car body. This ring acts as a “mass” and must always be kept clean. Alternatively, the turn signal relay can be attached to the side member of the vehicle.

Lamps are the main element and act as a pointer. The ignition of the lamps is ensured by the direction of the output relay signals. The lamp connection diagram is designed in such a way that even if one of them burns out, this will not affect the operation of the others.

The turn signal switch is located on the vehicle's steering column and acts as a control device for the driver. Using the switch you can set the direction of the turn signals.

Hazard warning button - turns on all lights included in the turn signals. All wires are connected to the button contact group, including the ignition switch wires.

All elements of the circuit are connected by electrical cables and the car body (or in common parlance - “mass”).

The fuse is designed to protect the circuit from short circuit. This can happen if you accidentally short out the wires in the circuit or because they are not insulated enough. A fuse has a fuse that, when the current in the circuit increases (accompanied by an increase in the temperature of the conductors), opens the electrical circuit and protects the circuit from fire.

Dangerous moments during maneuvers

Maneuvering always carries danger, mostly resulting from driver inattention and miscommunication. To avoid a collision, you should always warn about your further actions in advance.

Likewise, you need to keep an eye on what other motorists are going to do. You should always keep your distance from other cars so that you don’t drive into a vehicle during sudden or emergency braking.

The danger when driving backwards is that blind spots may occur. In this case, you need to resort to the help of third parties, that is, ask a person to orient you from the street

In any case, such a maneuver requires caution and slowness. It’s better to get out of the car and look around than to repair the car.

Replacing turn signal and hazard warning relays (+ Video)

If one of the listed malfunctions is detected, the turn signal relay must be replaced. Depending on the modification (carburetor or injection), the position of the switch relay may differ significantly. Carburetor VAZ 2107 cars require the installation of a relay behind the dashboard in the cabin. However, starting with an injection engine, the relay can be placed in a mounting block in the engine compartment.

To remove the relay located in the mounting block, you just need to pry it up and pull it up. After this, a new element is installed in its place.

In the case of relays behind the panel, things are much more complicated. Before removing the relay, you must pry the instrument panel with a screwdriver and remove it. If the length of the cables allows, they can be pulled out for some distance, but if they are too short, it is recommended to remove the plugs and unscrew the speedometer transmission cable. Set the panel aside and disconnect the contact wires from the relay. Now unscrew the “ground” from the switch and remove it. Replace the old relay with a new one and insert the contact wires. Next, assemble the dashboard and install it in its original position. This completes the replacement of the turn signal relay.

That's all you need to know about the turn signal relay.

Turn signals of VAZ 2107 do not work

Dear car services! I need your help. The turn signals of the VAZ 2107 do not work. The emergency range does not work. The car remained in the emergency lane for about an hour, after which it all suddenly drove away. Nothing works, not even the light bulb reacts. What is there to blame, what could be the problem? I would be grateful for any answers.

Initially, you need to check the fuse and relay, do not forget about the emergency lane button. It would be a good idea to check the functionality of the steering column switches. Overall, look for a break in these places.

Turn signals on VAZ 2107 do not work: replacing the relay

A relay malfunction can be understood by the following symptoms:

• Flickers too slow or too fast
• Turn signals are on but not flashing properly
• Turn signals and alarm do not work at all (your case)

I recommend that you replace this particular mechanism, it is inexpensive, and the job is done in literally 20-30 minutes. Provide access to the mounting block, find the relay there, it looks like this:

Then pry it up and tighten it using the tools you have. Unscrew the ground from the switch and replace the old relay with a new mechanism and connect all the wires that go to it. Then assemble all previously disassembled elements in reverse order. As you can see, nothing complicated. The main thing in all work is to correctly connect the output to “plus” and “minus”. I see a customized solution to your problem. Good luck.

Turning relay for VAZ-2107

Every vehicle is equipped with direction indicators, the main purpose of which is to inform other road users that a maneuver is being performed or intended to be performed. If your car's turn signals don't work, it significantly increases the likelihood of an accident when maneuvering or changing lanes. Why don't turns work on the VAZ 2107? The reasons for such a breakdown in frequent cases are nothing more than a switching relay. Today we will turn our attention to the question of how to replace this relay with a “seven”.

Special cases

If there are many lanes on the road, then maneuvers are carried out as follows:

1. Turn right - from the far right lane to the far right lane of the cross road.
2. Turn left and make a U-turn - from the leftmost lane to any lane intended for traffic in a given direction (not to the oncoming lane).

Special cases include meeting vehicles with flashing lights and a sound signal turned on. If such a car is driving, then you should let it pass, and perform the maneuver only if it does not interfere with the passage of the vehicle.

How are the main wiring elements of the VAZ-2106 car protected?

The vehicle's electrical wiring is protected by fuses, which are installed mainly in the central and auxiliary units, located at the bottom of the dashboard on the left side next to the steering column. The circuit from the battery to the terminals and disconnector is closed when the car is turned on.

Tip: When performing any work to replace or repair lighting fixtures and wiring, be sure to disconnect the battery from the mains. Relays, switches, battery, spark plugs and even the relay coil in the lighting system and fan switching in the cooling system are not protected by fuses. When bleeding the brakes on a VAZ-2107, a similar problem may arise.

If one of the circuit elements is damaged, the fuse blows. If the main set of fuses malfunctions, the backup fuses are activated, which are additionally installed next to the ignition unit. If a blown fuse is detected, replacing it is not enough - you need to study the wiring in detail and find out the reason for the fire of this part in the VAZ-2106.

Purpose of the device

The first thing to note is that the angles work differently than other headlights on the car. They operate in intermittent mode, which is guaranteed by a product such as the VAZ-2107 speed relay (switch.

It should also be noted that, in addition to intermittent operation, the turn signal relays emit audible signals in the form of clicks, which assist the driver. With these clicks, the driver understands that the device is currently working.

In addition to the fact that the switch is responsible for triggering the light signal necessary for maneuvers, it also allows them to operate in emergency mode. The VAZ-2107 uses an electronic relay; the blinking frequency of the lamps depends on the settings of the electronic circuit. Above is a photo of a modern electronic turn relay, which is used on VAZ-2107 cars.

Diagnosis of turn signal faults

If one day the turn signals stop working, this indicates that it is time to diagnose the car. To do this, you don’t need to go to a gas station, but everything can be done at home. The following signs indicate that the mechanism has stopped working:

• Faster or slower blinking of direction indicators. Accelerated blinking indicates that the filament of one of the lamps has burnt out. Slow flashing means that at least one lamp with a wattage higher than recommended is connected to the circuit. With the advent of modern LED lamps, many motorists are eager to install them on their cars. When LED bulbs are installed in turn signals, they flash too quickly, this is due to their low energy consumption.
• When illuminated, the direction indicators illuminate but do not flash. This type of fault is directly related to relay failure. To eliminate the malfunction, the switch must be replaced.
• The devices don't work at all. The reason may be a faulty relay, fuse, steering column switch or hazard warning light button. The connection diagram is made in such a way that the power supply for the turn signals passes through the emergency lighting button. If the button is faulty, the turns will not work.

What happens if you are not convinced of the safety of the maneuver and violate the traffic rules?

If the driver is not convinced of the safety of the maneuver being performed, as dictated by the traffic rules, he risks becoming the culprit of an accident, and if the circumstances are successful, he may be fined or deprived of his driving license. The penalty depends on the type of violation committed, but most often Art. 12.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses is applied:

• for an unlit turn signal - a fine of 500 rubles;
• for performing a turn or turn not from the extreme position - 1500 rubles;
• for turning around or driving in reverse where it is prohibited - 500 rubles;
• for ignoring the priority of other cars or a tram when performing a maneuver - 500 rubles.

We recommend reading about the reversal rules. From the article you will learn about the types of turns in a car, making a turn in accordance with traffic regulations, prohibited places for maneuver, and fines for violation. And here is more information about how to avoid accidents when changing lanes.

The ability to start, brake, or drive straight is not enough to be a driver.

It is very important not only to learn how to maneuver, but to know where it is done, how to make a turn, turn, or overtake as safely as possible. The use of skills is necessary not for the sake of obtaining a license, but to get the car to the right place, preserving your health and life

Turn signals of VAZ 2107 do not work

Dear car services! I need your help. The turn signals of the VAZ 2107 do not work. The emergency range does not work. The car remained in the emergency lane for about an hour, after which it all suddenly drove away. Nothing works, not even the light bulb reacts. What is there to blame, what could be the problem? I would be grateful for any answers.

Initially, you need to check the fuse and relay, do not forget about the emergency lane button. It would be a good idea to check the functionality of the steering column switches. Overall, look for a break in these places.

I checked if everything was okay. As far as I know, the fuse for the emergency lane and turn signals is different. If one of them had burned out, I would have noticed immediately. Because if the turn signal fuse blows, the dash will most likely go out too!!

So look at the button itself, often when the hazard lights and turn signal don't work at the same time, it's a button fault

Thank you all! Replaced the relay and now everything works.

Without turn signals, driving is inconvenient and, most importantly, dangerous. After all, you can easily get into a car accident. Therefore, such a problem needs to be solved as soon as possible. So what could cause your car to break down? For a number of reasons, the turn signals in the VAZ-2107 and the alarm system may stop working:

1. The most common and common cause is a blown fuse or simply lost contacts.
2. The contact blocks may be damaged, in which case one of the rotating sides will not work. Pull out and reinsert all the pads, often such manipulations have a positive effect
3. The turn signals may not work due to a faulty steering column switch. Check its integrity and performance
4. Another common reason is relay failure

In your situation, judging by the problem described, there is no problem with the fuse and the steering column switch is working (but this is not a fact). Be sure to check the relay and replace it with a new one if necessary.

How many meters before the turn should you turn on the turn signal?

It’s a good question so that people don’t swear at you from behind, so that others can understand in advance what you are going to do. You should turn it on when you pass all possible courtyards on the right or parking places and gas stations.

If there are none, then you can turn it on even 100 meters away - the main thing is not to be misled by turning not at an intersection, but, for example, into a courtyard. The traffic rules say “in advance.” at least 4 seconds before the start of the turn, 200m+ depends on the speed of movement. there should be enough time for others to understand your intentions in the rules - in advance, I turn on in populated areas about 50m away, and outside the city.

50 meters away or when you start to slow down 100-150 meters. The higher the speed before the turn, the sooner.

in advance, it depends on the traffic situation and visibility conditions.

It is important that other participants understand 100% your intention to perform the maneuver. the rules are as follows: immediately before maneuvering and turn off immediately after completing the maneuver in advance - that is, so that other participants understand that you will be performing a maneuver

. Turning on does not give you any advantage in driving. Guys - quite already - IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE MANEUVER

Turn signals do not work on VAZ 2107, 2105, 2104, reasons

The turn signals (turn signals) of VAZ 2107, 2105, 2104 cars may not work due to their malfunction or failure of any element of their electrical circuit. There are several options for failure of turn signals:

Causes of the malfunction: the direction indicator of the VAZ 2107, 2105, 2104 does not work

– The turn signal does not work, reasons

The indicator light is burnt out

A burnt-out light bulb visually indicates a broken filament. In some cases, the light bulb may look fine, but it will not work. Therefore, we replace the light bulb with a new or known one.

The contacts in the socket are oxidized

We turn the light bulb in the socket several times or remove and clean the contacts.

If you slow down and ram the culprit

Art. 10.1 The traffic rules do not give clear recommendations on what is better to do - ram the danger when braking or try to dodge. But judicial practice shows that if you ram the culprit during emergency braking, there is a good chance in the end to prove that you are right.

The driver will be guilty only if he rammed an obstacle or hit an obstacle and did not brake for any reason.

The pedestrian's fault does not relieve the driver of responsibility

A classic example is pedestrians who violate crossing rules. They can often pop up in the most unexpected places. At the same time, the pedestrian’s guilt does not relieve the driver of responsibility, especially if the passerby injured in the accident died. In this case, the driver may face a prison sentence or a large fine.

Turn signals on VAZ 2107 do not work: replacing the relay

Turn relay VAZ 2107

Direction indicators are designed to inform other road users about an upcoming maneuver. If they malfunction, the likelihood of an accident during maneuvers increases significantly. The most common cause of such a breakdown is a non-working VAZ 2107 turn signal relay. Traffic rules prohibit operating a car with faulty light signals, so if such a malfunction is detected, it must be eliminated as soon as possible. This work can be performed by service station specialists.

However, replacing the switching relay is a fairly simple and not very labor-intensive operation, which can also be done in the field. Therefore, knowledge of the design and method of replacing the VAZ 2107 turn signal relay will not be superfluous for owners of the “Seven”.

Traffic Laws

Let's see who the driver and pedestrian are within the framework of the Road Traffic Rules.

Please note, “driving” the vehicle and “driving” the vehicle. For example, as soon as a cyclist leaves the saddle of a bicycle, he becomes a pedestrian and when driving a bicycle he has all the responsibilities of a pedestrian, and when driving a bicycle - the responsibilities of a driver.

Definition of a pedestrian crossing:

In this definition, o, which mean that a pedestrian crossing can be marked either by markings together with signs, or separately, either by signs or markings.

Read this definition carefully; many traffic police officers interpret it not in your favor.

Unlike other lighting devices, the direction indicators work intermittently and flash. A special device is responsible for the operation of the indicators - the VAZ 2107 turn signal relay. In addition to ensuring the blinking of the lights, the relay performs a signaling function. Notify about the operation of turn signals with sound signals - clicks.

Initially, a thermal relay was installed on VAZ cars, in which the contacts were closed (opened) by a nichrome string, which was heated and cooled due to the current flowing through it. In later models, which include the “seven,” a relay with an electronic circuit and an electromagnet is used. The blinking frequency of the direction indicators is determined by the settings of the electronic circuit. This design has fewer moving parts and contacts, making it more reliable.

The device also works as an alarm relay for the VAZ 2107, causing the lamps to flash when the alarm is triggered.

Malfunctions of turn signals VAZ 2107

The main symptom of a malfunction is non-functioning direction indicators. However, the reason may not be only the relay. There are several distribution options:

• The lights are flashing too slowly or too quickly. The reason could be either in the electronic part of the speed relay or in the discrepancy between the lamp current consumption and the nominal one. If one of the lamps has burned out or lamps that draw less current have been installed, the coils will flash more often than necessary. The same thing happens if the wire leading to one of the lamps is cut or the lamp socket or base has oxidized. A similar phenomenon occurs when installing LED lamps instead of incandescent lamps. When installing more powerful lamps, the blinking frequency decreases. If all the lamps are in good condition and the malfunction does not appear after replacing the lamps, then the reason lies precisely in the rotation relay or poor contacts in the lamp power circuit.
• The turn lights are on constantly, they do not blink. This indicates a malfunction of the electromagnetic part of the VAZ 2107 turn signal relay: the contacts are stuck in the closed position and do not open. This may be burning of the contacts of the electromagnetic relay or failure of the electronic circuit of the gear shift relay. Regardless of the specific reason, there is only one way out - replace the VAZ 2107 turn relay.
• The direction indicators are off. The cause of the malfunction may be a broken turn switch, a blown (faulty) turn relay, an open circuit, or a blown fuse. It is best to start checking with the last one
