Fuses and relays Lada Kalina 1, 2: their location and purpose


Lada Kalina 1

The first generation was produced in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 under the internal serial numbers
VAZ-1117, VAZ-1118, VAZ-1119
with sedan, hatchback, and station wagon bodies. In this article we will show a description of fuses and relays of the 1st generation Lada Kalina with block diagrams and photographs. Note the fuse responsible for the cigarette lighter.

The design of the blocks and the purpose of the elements in them may differ from those presented and depend on the year of manufacture and level of equipment of your Lada Kalina. Check the description with yours, printed on the back of the protective cover, or other technical documentation.

Differences in electronics of Lada Kalina 1 from Kalina 2

These two cars, despite their external similarities and common base, have different electrical wiring structures.

The second generation used Renault's developments, which explains the appearance of a body electronics unit, like on the Lada Vesta. In addition, these cars received completely different mounting blocks and their location.

The difference in the mounting blocks is also explained by the appearance on the Lada Kalina 2 of an automatic transmission, climate control and heated windshield. In addition, almost all trim levels now have DRLs. Therefore, diagnosing faults related to blown fuses on these machines is carried out differently.

4 Why reverse gear does not engage - other reasons

If the described methods for restoring the normal functioning of the gearbox did not help, most likely we encountered problems in the mechanical part of the gearbox:

  • the spring burst;
  • the retaining bolt has been cut off;
  • The device that secures the gearbox elements has broken.

These faults are truly complex. Such problems must be solved by car service specialists, since they will need to remove the gearbox, disassemble it, find the cause of the breakdown, and then fix the problem. All this takes more than one hour and requires the use of special tools. It is irrational to carry out such repairs at home.

Where are the fuses and relays located?

Depending on the generation of the car, the fuse blocks have differences, and, consequently, different installation locations.

Location of fuse and relay blocks on Lada Kalina 1

The first generation Kalinas were equipped with several fuse blocks at once. Their location has several places and they are all in the cabin:

  1. The main unit is located under the panel, to the left of the steering column.
  2. Another block was mounted under the cigarette lighter, next to the gearshift lever.
  3. Another mounting block is located under the dashboard, inside the central tunnel.

Where are the mounting blocks located in Lada Kalina 2

The second generation Lada Kalina has two fuse blocks. The main one is located inside the cabin, and in some trim levels it is also installed under the hood.

  1. One is located in the cabin, to the left of the steering column, under the cover.
  2. The additional fuse box is located in the engine compartment, to the right of the battery.

It is worth considering the location of the mounting block to avoid mistakes in diagnosing the car.

Correct selection and replacement of fuses on Kalina

The fuse in a car is a plastic product with two contacts, inside of which there is a fuse link.

Different fuses are designed for different current values ​​and if this parameter is exceeded, the insert burns out. It is very important to install the same one in place of the required fuse and not make a mistake.

For example, if a 15 Ampere fuse is installed on the cigarette lighter, then it is no longer possible to install a 60 Ampere or 5 Ampere insert.

The fact is that with a high operating current, the device can burn out or melt the wiring in the event of a malfunction. And with a high current of 15 Amps, a 5 Ampere fuse may blow immediately after turning on the device, since it is not designed for such work.

Fuse links differ in color and amperage. Currently, the following colors and fuses are used in cars:

ColorClearlyOperating current
Brown-yellow5A
Brown7.5A
Red10A
Blue15A
Yellow20A
White25A
Green30A
Orange40A
Red50A
Blue60A

Lada Kalina cars of the 1st and 2nd generations use blade fuses of the Norma and Maxi standards. The latter are used on Kalina 2 in the engine compartment and several of them are used on Lada Kalina 1 in the cabin.

To replace fuses, there is a special puller in the main unit, which is located in the lower right corner.

Backstage adjustment

Often after its repair, the Kalina does not engage reverse gear. The speed at which the pedal is pressed does not matter. Fifth gear will also disappear along with it. To eliminate the malfunction, it is necessary to adjust the position of the rocker. How to do it? You need to find the backstage clamp and loosen it.

Next, the lever is moved to the desired position (reverse or fifth speed). The clamp is tightened. You should check the effectiveness of the adjustment with the engine running. If after this you still cannot engage reverse gear on the Kalina, make the adjustment in first gear. Move the gearbox lever to the appropriate position, having first loosened the bolt. Turn the rocker drive counterclockwise until the lever rests against the reverse gear lock R. By adjusting the seating depth of the rocker on the gearbox driveshaft, you will restore the proper operation of the box.

How to select and replace a relay on Kalina

A relay in a car is used to remotely control consumers that require high currents.

For example, to activate the starter, the ignition switch contacts and its wiring will not be enough. Therefore, the lock serves only as a control device, and the relay closes the power contacts and the retractor relay circuit.

In cars of both generations, the most common 4 and 5-pin relays are used. However, two types of sizes are used here; this should be taken into account when selecting. It is better to look at the characteristics of the relay on the body and buy exactly the same one or show the required relay to an auto parts dealer. Automotive relays can vary in current strength, number and location of contacts.

To replace faulty relays and fuses on the Lada Kalina, use a special “pliers” tool, which is installed in the lower right corner. The larger ones are for relays, and the smaller ones are for fuses.

If, after replacing the fuse, it has blown again, you should not try to change it again; most likely there is a short circuit in the circuit and the car must be sent for more thorough diagnostics.

Replacement process

In order to change the cigarette lighter fuse of the Lada Kalina model, you need to get to the mounting block. It should be located behind the decorative panel, on the left side of the front console.

  1. We snap off the plastic clips.
  2. We take the tweezers located in the mounting block.
  3. We take out fuse No. 20 (first generation). Another protective element has No. 18 (second generation).
  4. Install a new fuse.

It is important that the value of the new part coincides with those recommended by the manufacturer (15 amps - first generation, 20 amps - second). Otherwise, there is a high probability of increased load on the circuit and tripping of the fuse. This may cause the wiring to melt, short circuit and fire.

Fuse and relay diagram in Kalina 1

Video instruction

Sometimes a complete replacement of the device is required. To do this, you need spare parts and a standard screwdriver. The order of work is as follows.

  1. Open the hood, find the battery and remove the negative terminal from it.
  2. We unscrew the three mounting bolts around the parking brake handle, which is located on top of the central tunnel. We dismantle the hand brake limit switch.
  3. We unscrew the rear fastening screw, as well as additional screws on the sides.
  4. Remove the cover from the gear lever, and then lift the tunnel cover.
  5. We disconnect the power plug coming to the electrical wiring circuit.
  6. We press the special latches that hold the device itself. Once it pops out, you can replace it.
  7. Next, we install the new part on the Lada Kalina and carry out the reassembly process.

The video below will help you understand where it is located and how to replace the cigarette lighter fuse of the Lada Kalina model.

Why do fuses blow and what are the symptoms?

Fuses never blow without a reason, and the Lada Kalina is no exception. Fuse links protect circuits from the following faults:

  1. Short circuit.
  2. Overload.

The task of the fuse is to save the electrical circuit: wiring, consumers and to prevent a fire caused by melting of wires or other parts of the electrical circuit.

A short circuit is one of the reasons for the melting of the insert, which most often occurs due to damage to the wires, a short circuit of the “plus” to body ground, or during an accident, as a result of which the harness or a separate wire was cut by a part of the body.

Overloads can be caused by the simultaneous operation of many consumers or when using low-quality compressors to inflate tires, powered from the cigarette lighter.

There is another reason, which occurs extremely rarely - the use of Chinese fuse-links, the operating current of which is slightly lower than that provided by the electrical circuit. Despite the fact that 15A may be indicated on the insert body, in fact, this figure may be lowered to 10.

The symptom of a blown fuse is complete failure of the consumer. For example, if the cigarette lighter does not work, then in 90% of cases, a blown fuse is to blame. To make sure of this, just open the lid, take out the fuse-link, guided by the table, and check its integrity. If this cannot be done visually, you can use a multimeter in dial mode.

A serviceable fuse should ring, but a blown fuse will show an open circuit on the device. If replacing the insert does not help, you will have to diagnose the fuse box or look for the problem elsewhere.

It is prohibited to use wire to repair the fuse! This may cause the wiring in the vehicle to catch fire.

Release bearing

This element is very reliable. But do not rule out its breakdown. How to determine that it is the release bearing that has failed? To do this, you need to squeeze the clutch with the engine running and listen to the operation of the box. If, when you release the pedal, the characteristic sound (rustling) intensifies and the reverse gear on the Kalina does not engage, the reasons are in the bearing. But not only this speed will turn on poorly. Often, due to the “squeeze”, subsequent gears do not work well. They have to be turned on with re-gas and double squeeze.
