How to remove the Kalina fuse box

labavto.com

The Lada Kalina has earned a reputation as a comfortable and reliable car. But, like all vehicles, it is not immune to various types of breakdowns. Quite often one or another electrical equipment fails. Some breakdowns are not critical, for example, the cigarette lighter does not work, but there are also those that can completely render your vehicle immobile.

This is, first of all, the failure of such an important component as the fuel pump. It is not always necessary to change the consumer in order to restore its functionality; very often it is enough to replace the fuse and the relay responsible for it to restore its functionality.

Car Lada Kalina

Let's say right away that on the Lada Kalina car the electrical circuits are protected by electrical fuses and relays located in several compartments. For example, the fuse for the cigarette lighter is located in the main compartment under the panel, and the fuel pump is located in the additional compartment.

All blocks with electrical fuses are installed in easily accessible and convenient places, so changing and checking protective elements will not cause difficulties even for a novice car enthusiast.

Where is the fuse box?

The largest compartment, which houses most of the fuses and relays, is located on the left side of the instrument panel and is covered with a cover. The second, in which the elements responsible for the power unit control systems are located, is located in the lining of the floor tunnel. This is where the fuel pump fuse is located.

Removal and replacement instructions

Replacing and identifying an unusable element in both the first and second blocks occurs in approximately the same way, so let’s consider the replacement process using the example of the one installed to the left of the dashboard.

Diagram on the back of the cover

Preparation

Be sure to remember that before you carry out work on electrical equipment, it doesn’t matter whether the cigarette lighter or the fuel pump has failed, the first thing you need to do is turn off the power to the system. To do this, turn off the engine and remove the negative terminal of the battery.

This video shows how you can quickly solve a problem with blown fuses on a Lada Kalina.

We find the location of the block, it’s not difficult - the designers placed it on the left side of the dashboard under the cover.
Open the lid.
Using the diagram and table, we establish the location of the protective element we need.
The block contains tweezers, with the help of which we extract the required element.
Let's examine it.
We check with an ohmmeter or lamp.
If the spiral is burnt out, install a new one of equal value.
We connect the removed battery terminal.
We start the car.
Let's see whether our consumer has earned money or not.
If everything is in order, then the work is finished. If the consumer does not work or the electrical fuse has blown again, then everything is more serious. It may be necessary to check the circuit or dismantle the consumer and check it.

Work with the block, which contains the element protecting the fuel pump and other elements responsible for the operation of the engine, is carried out in a similar way.

The request returned an empty result.

The protective element designed for 15 amperes, responsible for the fuel pump of the Lada Kalina, is designated F2 in the photo. To remove it, you need tweezers. All other work is carried out in the same way as in the large compartment.

Recommendations for use

If you are a responsible car owner, then be sure to carry with you a set of electrical fuses of various ratings. Perhaps they will help you out at some point.
Under no circumstances should you install wires or bugs. This can lead not only to failure of the electrical consumer, but also to a fire.
Replacement only with an element of the same value is acceptable.
Before work, do not forget to turn off the power to the system.

Sorry, there are no surveys available at this time.

FF5, 50A: power supply of the EUR unit;
FF6, 40A: ABS return pump power supply.

When replacing a fuse, remember the following. You cannot use a higher denomination than was provided. Otherwise, the risk of fire cannot be excluded.

Location of the main fuse block

The main fuse and relay block of the Lada Kalina is located under the left panel of the steering wheel, where the main light switch is located.

In order to gain access to the main fuse panel of the Lada Kalina, you need to do a number of manipulations:

On the closing panel, on the left and right, there are grooves that need to be pulled alternately. Also below. This operation should be done carefully so as not to break the plastic fasteners.

Gently pull and remove from the grooves

Gained access to the fuse box

Thus, the fuses and relays of the main unit of the Lada Kalina, as well as the control board, are changed.

Location of additional fuse box

The additional fuse box is marked with an arrow in the photo.

The additional relay and fuse box for the Lada Kalina is located to the right of the front passenger's feet. It can be accessed by unscrewing the cover bolts and removing it. In order to dismantle this block, unscrew the 3 mounting bolts. The replacement process is carried out in the same way as with the main unit.

If malfunctions occur related to the operation of electrical accessories on the Lada Kalina, do not rush to get into the mechanical part. Maybe the problem lies in the combustion of fuses. But not all motorists know where the Lada Kalina fuse box is located and their markings.

Diagram and marking of fuses and their replacement

If you turn over the cover of the Lada Kalina fuse box, you can see the markings and which fuse and relay are responsible for what. Also, it can be seen in the vehicle’s service and technical book.

Fuse box diagram

Let us indicate and decipher the fuse number, amperage and what it is responsible for:

F1 - (10) - Instruments: immobilizer control unit, hazard warning switch, instrument cluster. If, when starting the engine, the starter does not turn and the immobilizer icon flashes, then you need to pay attention to this fuse. F2 — (30) — Electric windows. Read more about why window lifts may not work here. F3 - (10) - Hazard warning switch F4 - (20) - Windshield wiper F5 - (25) - Heater, electric power steering control unit F6 - (20) - Horn F7 - (10) - Instrument cluster, interior lighting F8 - (20 ) — Heated rear window F9 — (5) — Side light (right side) F10 — (5) — Side light (left side) F11 — (7.5) — Immobilizer control unit F12 — (7.5) — Low beam (starboard side) F13 — (7.5) — Low beam (left side) F14 — (10) — High beam (starboard side) F15 — (10) — High beam (left side) F16.17 — (10) — Fog lights F18 — (15) — Heated seats F19 — (10) — ABS F20 — (15) — Cigarette lighter F21 — (10) — Reverse lock F22 — (15) — Electrical package control unit F31 — (50) — Control unit electric booster
