It's decided! Why doesn't Priora's cigarette lighter work?

Some people consider the cigarette lighter a completely unnecessary thing in the car. But drivers who keep up with modern technical progress have been using it to their full potential for a long time.

Using this device instead of an ordinary outlet, you can easily connect and use various devices and even appliances to the electrical power of your car. Thanks to modern technologies, you can sit in your car and comfortably drink coffee prepared with your own hands in a portable coffee maker, all in the same car.

Possible causes of failure

There are quite a few reasons why the cigarette lighter on a Priora may not work, but most often they are of the same type and are associated with improper use of this part or due to its aging.

Contamination of the contacts inside the cigarette lighter, which makes it impossible to conduct current through them. This problem occurs quite often if the cigarette lighter is used as intended. Remaining ash gets inside the cigarette lighter and contaminates it.
The cigarette lighter connector, which is connected to it from below, is also susceptible to damage. When using powerful accessories, the contacts may burn.
The cigarette lighter fuse is one of the most common problems with a non-working cigarette lighter. Fuse blowing occurs due to a possible short circuit or the use of powerful car accessories.
A malfunction of the cigarette lighter illumination does not lead to its failure, but still, when something in the car does not work, it is not good and requires repair.

The problems that happen with the cigarette lighter are clear, now you need to figure out how to solve them and fix the cigarette lighter.

Checking the fuse

The primary method is visual inspection. It is enough just to dismantle the part and inspect it for the integrity of the wire. If it is damaged, then a malfunction has been detected, but if not, but you still suspect the fuse, you need to arm yourself with a multimeter. You can test an element in two ways:

resistance measurement. If you have removed the fuse, visually inspected it, but did not find a problem, you can immediately measure the resistance. We enable the corresponding option on the multimeter and take measurements at the terminals. If the device does not respond and there are zeros on the screen, then the part is faulty;
voltage measurement. It is necessary to select the appropriate option on the device, turn on the cigarette lighter circuit and measure the voltage at the outputs. If the indicators are zero, it means the part needs to be replaced.

Thus, there is absolutely nothing complicated in checking the cigarette lighter. If you are convinced that the element has failed, you need to install a new one and test the operation of the node again. If the new part burns out, you will have to examine the circuit in more detail. There is probably some serious damage somewhere that is causing the short to occur. If you cannot understand the cause yourself, be sure to contact specialists who will conduct a detailed diagnosis of the unit.

What to do if the fuel pump of the Lada Priora has stopped pumping, reasons, solutions

If the pump stops working properly or works every once in a while, as a rule, the engine does not start (16 valves). This happens for the following reasons:

tank fuse blown;
tank relay is faulty;
the gas tank itself is faulty;
problems with wiring and adjacent contacts;
problem with the controller;
problems with the alarm system, etc.

If the fuel pump does not work, then you need to immediately check the wiring and contacts. To do this, check the voltage in the gas tank using a multimeter. Often the fuel pump of a Lada Priora malfunctions due to a relay marked K2 and a fuse marked F3. To solve the problem, perform the following steps:

First you need to check the fuel pump fuse. It happens that it fails, so it needs to be replaced. You can buy a new one in a special store.
If it is working, you need to turn on the ignition, remove the relay and apply +12V to pin No. 11 of the diagnostic block or place a jumper between pins 87 and 30.
Finally, you need to check by ear that the fuel pump is turned on.

It is important to know that regularly replacing the fuel filter ensures proper operation of the fuel pump. It is advisable to change every 30 km

However, this is only provided that your car runs on high-quality gasoline. If the fuel is of low quality, then it must be replaced every 15 km. The fuel filter is located next to the gas tank. Removing it for replacement is absolutely easy. It is enough to do the following:

you need to remove the tip of the fuel outlet pipe;
then squeeze the two latches.

When the clamps are not spaced correctly, the entire operation of the fuel system will be affected. You can install a new one yourself by performing the steps in reverse order. The arrow on the filter housing should be in the direction of the flow of gasoline. The filter itself should be located between the stops.

It happens that when the ignition is turned on, the starter does not turn. In this case, there is a possibility that the problem is in the controller. It is necessary to check the mass - and then the problem will be eliminated. It could also be due to the relay. To determine the serviceability of this device, you need to use a tester to check whether it is shorting. If it shorts, then it needs to be replaced.

In addition, the fuel pump often malfunctions in cold weather. If you cannot solve the problem yourself, but notice signs of a malfunction, contact a technical service, where your car will be checked and all problems will be fixed. Of course, such a service costs money, but you will have confidence that your vehicle will operate smoothly

It is also important to change certain parts of the car as needed so that it works quickly, efficiently and for a long time.

Symptoms of unit malfunction

Windshield washer does not work on Skoda

Malfunctions of the Priora fuel supply pump can manifest themselves in different ways.

Sometimes it fails completely, in other cases it maintains too low pressure in the system. Symptoms of problems are:

after turning the key in the ignition switch, the characteristic sound of the fuel pump is absent, and the engine does not start;
when the ignition is turned on, the pump pumps, the power unit starts, but when you try to move away, the engine stalls and starts with difficulty;
The car jerks while driving, stalls and does not want to start.

The first symptom indicates a malfunction in the electrical circuit that supplies power to the unit. Also, a complete failure may be the result of a breakdown of the pumping device itself, and it has to be replaced. Fortunately, such breakdowns are quite rare. Electric fuel pumps installed on VAZ cars are considered quite reliable devices and operate without problems for 150-200 thousand km.

The remaining 2 symptoms indicate that the amount of fuel supplied to the injectors is not enough for normal driving. If the car somehow starts and idles, then there is no longer enough fuel to move. Since the characteristic symptoms of low pressure in the line are similar to the symptoms of problems with other units and systems, it is necessary to carry out diagnostics and more accurately determine the cause.

Which fuse is responsible for the operation of the cigarette lighter in Priora

Knowing where the cigarette lighter fuse is located on the Priora, you can replace it without any problems. Service in auto repair shops is now quite expensive, so let’s figure out how you can do it yourself.

The most important condition is that you cannot install any home-made devices, such as, for example, wire or a paper clip, instead of the fuse. In addition, it is better to use domestically produced protective elements and not buy Chinese analogues, as they are of low quality. None of this is safe and can even lead to a fire.

Replacing the Priora cigarette lighter fuse is not very difficult. To do this, there is no need to dismantle its seat or the block itself. It is enough to simply replace the faulty element with a new one. However, you still need to understand the algorithm, as there are some peculiarities.

What devices can be connected to the cigarette lighter?

Knowing the current rating for which the Prior's cigarette lighter fuse is designed, you can calculate what power devices can be used. To do this, we multiply the current strength of 15 A by the rated voltage in the cigarette lighter - 12 V.

We find that the power of the connected devices should not exceed 180 W. And the list of devices is very wide, because technological progress does not stand still, making the life of the driver and his passengers much more comfortable. Here are some of them:

• Compressor; • Air purifier and ionizer; • Electric kettle or boiler; • Fridge; • Massage cape or pillow; • Navigator, video recorder, etc.; • Heater on the seat; • Lamp or lantern; • Fan; • Vacuum cleaner; • Splitter.

New devices appear every year. You must be very careful when connecting them to the cigarette lighter. Heavy load can lead to short circuit and fire.

Why the cigarette lighter of the Lada Priora does not work and what to do

Possible causes of problems were described above, and now it’s worth figuring out what to do in this situation. First of all, the solution to the problem will depend on the cause. Therefore, we will analyze everything separately.

If there is no voltage on the contacts, the problem lies in a violation of the integrity of the contacts or a break in the circuit. In this situation, it is necessary to carry out diagnostics and then replace the contacts.

It is worth noting that a burnt-out backlight lamp can only lead to a decrease in the level of comfort. In addition, this malfunction does not in any way affect the functionality of the cigarette lighter and can be easily resolved by replacing the lamp.

If the cause of the breakdown is a burnt-out spiral, then it is necessary to fix the cartridge when pressing. Experts do not recommend restoring the spiral, as this can lead to a decrease in its resistance and disruption of the on-board circuit. In this situation, it is also necessary to replace the cigarette lighter.

When the lugs sink, the problem lies in poor fixation of the cartridge when pressed. Such a breakdown can be caused by poor quality metal or high voltage or a long period of use of the cigarette lighter. The problem can be solved by bending the ears inward with a thin screwdriver. It is very important that this is done after the circuit has been de-energized! If the malfunction recurs, it is best to replace the cigarette lighter.

When the cigarette lighter stops working as a result of a faulty fuse, the problem is usually the following:

attaching smaller connectors to the plug socket;
discrepancy between the calculated current value of the device circuit and the device that the driver is going to connect;
problems with the connected device.

If the cigarette lighter is seriously damaged, it must be replaced. This can be done either at a car service center or independently. You just have to take into account all the nuances and requirements.

Serial number and part numbers

Before you begin repairing the cigarette lighter and disassembling the central tunnel, you need to buy a suitable spare part. There are different device options for the Lada Priora on sale, both original and not. Cigarette lighters from the AvtoVAZ factory have article number 21230-3725010-00.

When purchasing, you need to pay attention to the cost of the spare part. A cigarette lighter price that is too low indicates the use of low-quality materials. Such a part may burn out within several weeks after replacement. In addition, the item must be well packaged and have a certificate of conformity.

Removing the cigarette lighter

To diagnose the Priora cigarette lighter, it must be dismantled. Removal must be done with the fuse removed, so as not to cause an accidental short circuit during operation. We remove fuse F13 from the mounting block and get to work.

Insert a small flat-head screwdriver into the hole on the cigarette lighter and lightly press on the plastic retainer, as shown in the picture. Then turn the metal part of the cigarette lighter counterclockwise.

We take out the metal part up and disconnect the connector.

Use your finger to pry up the green outline of the cigarette lighter illumination and remove it as shown in the picture.

We perform assembly in reverse order.

Connection diagram and node fuse

If the last problem occurs, you need to get to the shield located behind the front panel. Next, remove the plastic cover, gaining access to the fuse box itself. It is necessary to change the element numbered F13 - it is responsible for the cigarette lighter circuit.

Before doing this, you should pull out the connector going to the socket itself. To get to it, you will need to remove the decorative plastic from the front of the central tunnel. The connection diagram, as well as the pinout of the cigarette lighter and fuse are shown in the photo.

Reasons why the cigarette lighter does not work on Lada Priora

Over time, the unit may break and require repair. Why does the part fail? Among the common reasons why the Lada Priora cigarette lighter does not work.

Burnt out heating element. If you often have to connect high-voltage devices to the connector, such as a wheel compressor, the element itself can quickly fail and the fuse will trip.
Light bulb broken. There is a light around the hole that may stop working.
Oxidation or poor contact of the cigarette lighter. Over time, contact may be lost between the antennae of the part and the socket itself, as a result of which the element fails. To check this, you need to remove the fuse and then inspect it for oxides. Additionally, you should tighten the fastening antennae. The fuse is put in place.
The cigarette lighter connection wires have fallen off. Refers to “age-related diseases”. For inspection, you will need to remove the VAZ Priora cigarette lighter from its socket without touching the fuse. In the event of a malfunction, it is necessary to solder the fallen wires.
Inept tuning is also a cause of failure. Some owners buy low-quality splitters and load them to full capacity. This leads to increased load on the fuses. Promotes accelerated wear of the generator.
Blown fuse. A breakdown may occur due to a short circuit. To identify this fuse malfunction, you should connect the lamp to the connector. Then turn on the ignition. If it does not light up, then the reason is the fuse. The protective element needs to be replaced.

Let's take a closer look at the design and purpose of each Priora fuse box

Fuse assembly diagram

The third block is the mounting block, located on the left side of the instrument panel. In addition to the main components, this set contains installations for climate control in the vehicle interior, as well as for the ignition system and an element responsible for the electric fuel pump. When creating group components, a specific metal or an alloy of several materials is used. The main parts are located at the base of the group and have the form of connections with contacts. The contact group is separately connected to the vehicle network. The fuses themselves are located in a special protective case made of glass. The modern VAZ contains several mounting blocks. The light fuse has the simplest device and can be easily identified in the electrical circuit of Lada consumers

In the event of any malfunction of the electrical circuit, this component must be paid attention to first. In order to save some amount of wiring, thereby increasing the safety of the vehicle, circuit components are placed in different places and installed in groups (blocks)

Mounting block diagram

Diagram of the central fuse group of the Priora

The fuse box in question is located under the hood. The unit is fixed near the battery. The Priora central unit combines five important fuses and basic devices responsible for the correct operation of vehicle consumers. The average rating of these elements is in the range from 30 to 50 A. The components of the central block are marked from the left side to the right side of the block shell. The main fuse box is located in the engine compartment and contains protected devices that are combined in a common circuit. The chain components themselves are responsible for maintaining uninterrupted power supply to the vehicle consumers and constant voltage in the circuit. The central unit operates regardless of the position of the key in the ignition switch. The consumers of this circuit are: interior lighting, cigarette lighter, brake light, horn, control controller for the electronic and security system of the vehicle.

Instructions for changing the cigarette lighter bulb

This breakdown is also one of the most common. Replacing the cigarette lighter bulb yourself is not difficult. It is enough to follow the instructions.

Open the hood and disconnect the battery terminal.
Use a thin screwdriver to pry up the green plastic latch and turn the metal cup, pulling it out.
The burnt out lamp is inside a plastic part.
Disconnect the connector from the contacts.
Now you can change the light bulb with a working part.
We reassemble in reverse order.

Possible malfunctions and their elimination

Possible cigarette lighter failures that a driver can identify include:

fuse blown;
faulty cigarette lighter contacts;
backlight burnout.

Repair of the cigarette lighter, depending on the malfunction, can be achieved without removing it or after removing it from the installation socket. If the cause of the breakdown lies in a faulty fuse, then the question of how to change it is easily resolved. The Priora cigarette lighter fuse is located in the installation block in place F13. The rated current for it is 13 amperes.

Before replacing the Priora fuse, to ensure safety, you should disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. After this, open the lid and use the marks on it to find the position with the desired designation. If you cannot pull out the fuse manually, you should use a special key.

If it is necessary to replace the fuse itself or repair its contacts, the fuse and housing will need to be dismantled. Please note that disassembling the central tunnel is not required. When answering the question of how to remove the cigarette lighter on a Priora, you need to know the order of operations:

for work, use a thin flat screwdriver; it is inserted into a plastic green clamp, which at the same time indicates the backlight;
rotate the metal cigarette lighter sleeve;
You can remove the cigarette lighter from the socket, and then separate the green plastic and wiring from it.

Fuse box

After the cigarette lighter has been removed, repairs or replacement of parts are performed, and installation is carried out in the reverse order.

To replace a burnt-out lamp, you will need to remove the cigarette lighter socket. To this end:

press out the special filter lock, and the assembly is pulled out;
dismantle the lamp socket and replace it;
Install the cartridge in the reverse order.

Cigarette lighter replacement surgery is not that uncommon. However, if regular burnout occurs without significant loads (with each use), then you should contact electrical specialists to determine the cause. A possible short circuit can lead to a variety of consequences, even fire, if the problem turns out to be serious.

Often the fuse blows when connecting more powerful consumers, for example, such as a portable car compressor. This is due to the duration of its use, which can significantly heat the wiring. As practice shows, the simultaneous use of several consumers leads to the same problem. Therefore, some owners go for additional wiring and equip a standard place for a separate cigarette lighter.

This is especially convenient to do in the trunk of a car or for a row of rear seats. It should be noted that each installed connector is additionally equipped with a fuse.

Step by step replacement

1. Take out the cigarette lighter cylinder.

2. Using a flat-head screwdriver, pry up and remove the metal core of the cigarette lighter. It is best to do this from the inside so as not to damage the plastic.

If it doesn't come out, there may be clips on the inside of the core. They are most often metal. The photo below shows the location of the metal clips. Using a flathead screwdriver, you can bend them and remove the core.

If you are changing the cigarette lighter assembly, I think there is no risk of damaging something on it.

3. Remove the plastic bezel that is illuminated. This can be done using a flat-head screwdriver.

If your bezel backlight works and the bezel itself is not damaged, then you do not need to change it. Simply disconnect the non-working cigarette lighter core, connect a new one and put everything back together.

Power to the cigarette lighter comes through the terminal block. This means it is not difficult to replace it.

4. The backlight bulb is assembled with a plastic rim. To replace the light bulb, remove the small plastic cover.

Next, insert a flat-head screwdriver as shown below and pull the edge toward you. There is a small groove on the body and the light bulb is held in place by it. I think everything will be clear from the photo below, but if you have any difficulties, watch the video tutorial.

5. Remove the lamp from the socket and install a new one. The light bulb simply pulls out towards itself.

6. Install the socket with the new lamp into the rim. Be sure to align the grooves so that the cartridge snaps into place.

7. Install the small plastic cover.

8. Put the rim in place. There is a groove in the floor tunnel and a corresponding groove on the rim body. When installed, they must match and the light bulb must face backwards.

9. Change the cigarette lighter core and install it with the metal contact back until it clicks.

When installing, the contact should be backwards, just like the light bulb. Power is supplied to the backlight through this contact.

10. Install the cigarette lighter cylinder.

After reassembly, we connect the battery terminals and check the operation.

The cigarette lighter light does not light up

This reason occurs due to the burnout of the backlight lamp or its poor contact with the cigarette lighter body. To check, you need to remove the cigarette lighter and inspect the lamp. If the lamp is intact and has no signs of damage, most likely it does not work due to poor contact.

To ensure reliable contact, it is necessary to bend two contacts on the lamp socket and clean them with sandpaper. It is also a good idea to clean off carbon deposits, if there is any, on the outside of the cigarette lighter, where the lamp contacts come into contact with the cigarette lighter body.

Priora, its malfunctions and repairs

It so happened that the cigarette lighter in a modern car has lost its usual purpose, which was originally intended - heating the coil for lighting a cigarette. However, with the advent of various modern electronic devices, there is a need to provide additional power for them on the road. In this regard, the need arose to replace the cigarette lighter fuse more often, and a completely logical question became how to remove the cigarette lighter on a Priora.

A few words about the device

The cigarette lighter socket is used on the Lada Priora to ensure the operation of the DVR and radar detector, navigator, charging the phone and laptop, connecting a vacuum cleaner and compressor. This is not a complete list of possible cases of using the device in question. To provide all potential consumers for the machine, even a variety of splitters have been developed that allow two or more devices to connect at the same time.

Along with the standard use of this device on the base model of the Lada Priora, the cigarette lighter is also widely used on classic AvtoVAZ models. This is due to the unreliable use of old models of cigarette lighter devices and the unsuitability of their use for the plug designs of most modern gadgets.

With such active use of the cigarette lighter socket, a fairly large load is placed on the vehicle's power supply system. In turn, this leads to periodic burnout of the Priora cigarette lighter fuse.

Understanding the design features of the Priora cigarette lighter is necessary in order not only to correctly recognize the malfunction and replace the necessary part, but also not to experience difficulties when disassembling your car. The device consists of a metal sleeve into which the cigarette lighter itself is inserted.

From the end side, a terminal connection with wires is connected to the element. The sleeve is installed in a plastic holder, which is attached independently to the plastic housing of the central dashboard. A socket is attached to the side of the plastic holder, where the cigarette lighter lamp is placed.

We pull the metal cartridge, removing it from its seat.
We disconnect the plastic chip located at the end of the element.
Next is replacing the part with a new one and the installation procedure.

Why doesn't the cigarette lighter work?

Diagnostics

For safe use of the device and connected equipment, the design is supplemented with a fuse. The device is responsible for the safe operation of vehicles and timely shutdown of power supply.

If the Lada Priora cigarette lighter fuse malfunctions, the following violations are possible:

burnout of elements;
the presence of foreign objects in the nest structure;
cigarette lighter power failures;
the use of several technical devices in the cigarette lighter;
exceeding the charging time of gadgets;
use of high power tees, etc.

When deciding which fuse goes to the cigarette lighter, it is necessary to take into account the suitability of the car brand. If there is a discrepancy in size or poor quality of the element, the machine may malfunction.

Before removing the device, you need to determine where the fuse is located. In a Priora car, the device is located in the cabin under the panel.

The fuse box is located under the hood near the expansion tank. To perform repairs and access the fuses and thermal relay, you need to unscrew and remove 2-3 screws using a Phillips screwdriver.

The devices are made in the form of fusible elements and are designed to open the electrical circuit when there is a sharp increase in power in the device or a short circuit. The design of the element is made in the form of a body (made of plastic), complemented by a plate or a special thread through which an electric current passes. Fuses in Priora cars are often mounted in a protective housing.

Why does it burn out?

If a Priora fuse does not work, the reason may be a burnout of the element, which leads to a disruption in the efficiency of the device.

The device may burn out due to the following reasons:

Malfunctions in devices.
Connecting plugs of the wrong size to the device socket. The diameter of the socket in a Priora car is 21 mm, the size of the plugs in some electrical appliances that can be charged from the cigarette lighter reaches 18-20 mm.
Incorrect installation of the plug into the socket.
Voltage faults during ignition.
Inconsistencies between the current passed through the cigarette lighter and the connected device, etc.

Replacement

If there is a problem in a Priora car, the element in the fuse on the cigarette lighter needs to be replaced. You need to open the device by turning the 3 lock 90°, open it slightly and remove the cover. Then find the fuse coded F-13 in the socket and remove it. The working condition of the device is first visually assessed or the part is tested. If it breaks, you need to install a new element. Then the lid is placed and the structure is closed. The quality of the device is checked.

Experts recommend having a spare set of fuses in your car for stable operation of the cigarette lighter. It is also optimal to have other technical devices for replacing elements that are subject to overloads when driving a car.

It is not recommended to replace fuses with homemade devices, because the operating parameters of the electrical network will be disrupted, and an overload can damage the operation of other vehicle circuits. When using a homemade jumper, a short circuit may occur in the machine circuit and the vehicle may catch fire.

Where are the fuses located in the car?

In a Lada Priora car, the cigarette lighter fuse is installed in the mounting block. To find it, the driver sitting behind the wheel inside the car just needs to look down and to the left.

The relay and fuse box is also called the mounting block or black box. In the event of a car breakdown related to electrical equipment, the fuses and relays are first checked. If a fuse is blown, you must first determine the cause of its blown before replacing it.

The main mounting block of the Priora is closed with a lid and located at the driver’s left foot. To open it, you need to turn three latches 90° and unclip the lid.
The fuse box is under the hood, which is located near the expansion tank.
Another mounting block, which is located near the left foot of the front passenger. To gain access to the fuses and relays, unscrew several screws with a Phillips screwdriver.

If you look at the diagram, you will notice that the cigarette lighter fuse is designated F13
