For the modern driver, this device, located next to the ashtray, has become almost indispensable. Even non-smoking drivers use the cigarette lighter, because through it you can connect a charger for a mobile phone, tablet or other gadgets. Therefore, a broken cigarette lighter becomes a real inconvenience for the car owner.

However, it is not difficult to remove the device and carry out repairs yourself. Read the article about why the cigarette lighter burns out and how to remove it on a VAZ 2112 with your own hands and replace it with a new part.

Replacing the cigarette lighter for VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112

If previously only smokers used the cigarette lighter in a car, today it acts as a power source for DVRs, compressors, car refrigerators and many other devices, and with such intensity of use, replacing the cigarette lighter in VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112 cars may be required much more often.
The owner can carry out such repairs independently, without contacting a service station. But, for this it is necessary to at least understand the connection diagram of the node to other modules of the on-board network.

Order of Operations

Before removing the cigarette lighter of a VAZ 2110, 2111 or 2112, you need to de-energize the circuit; to do this, remove the negative terminal from the battery. Now you can start working directly:

It is necessary to remove the plates on each side of the instrument tunnel; to do this, unscrew two bolts from each. On the right side, disconnect the backlight and cigarette lighter connector.

The housing of the unit is fixed to the casing of the instrument tunnel; it must be removed. The trim is located under the handbrake lever. It can be easily removed with a flat screwdriver.

Also, using a flat-head screwdriver, you now need to pry and remove the housing from the gearbox shift lever.
There is a screw under the cover; you need to unscrew it with a Phillips screwdriver.
You need to remove the top cover of the instrument tunnel. Now the cigarette lighter is accessible. You can remove its cartridge. Then the screen is removed so that the tabs come out of the grooves on the light guide.
Use a flat-head screwdriver to press the latch next to the cigarette lighter socket, so it is released from the light guide.
Now you can remove the assembly along with all the elements.
Then you need to tighten the latches on the light guide, so it is immediately disconnected from the assembly.
If you need to change the LED itself, it can be easily removed by pressing the tabs on the housing. When installing a new device, make sure that the slot in the casing aligns with the protrusion on the housing.
Now you can begin installing the new cigarette lighter. First, it is connected to the light guide, the following operations are performed in the reverse order.

To replace the cigarette lighter of a VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112 with your own hands without disassembling the tunnel, watch the video:

Let's summarize

Obviously, the procedure for replacing the cigarette lighter is quite simple, even a beginner can do it. But you need to understand that the cigarette lighter will have to be changed often if the current consumption increases above 25 amperes. Once this value is reached, the entire procedure described above will have to be performed again, since the node will inevitably fail. The most common reason for this is connecting multiple devices at the same time. You should not use tees, and you should always know exactly how much the device you want to connect to the cigarette lighter consumes. This will extend the life of both the unit itself and the fuses.

The principle of operation of the cigarette lighter

The principle of operation of the cigarette lighter is as follows:

in the inactive position, the cartridge is in the socket, while the heating element circuit is open.
When the cigarette lighter handle is depressed, the cartridge is immersed in the socket and the circuit is closed.
The thermoelement starts heating.
When the desired temperature is reached, the contacts of the bimetal holder diverge and the cartridge spring throws it out of the socket, breaking the power circuit.
The cartridge is removed from the socket and used to light a cigarette.

Uninterrupted operation of the cigarette lighter and the safety of the vehicle's electrical network are ensured by a separate 25 amp fuse. It is located in the relay and fuse block, most often marked as F18, less often as F8. In the first case, together with lighting, the stove operates; in the second, the lighting lamps under the hood of the car are ensured.

Important! The maximum current for which the cigarette lighter is designed is no more than 15 amperes, voltage - 12 volts. The fuse resistance SHOULD NOT be less - optimally it should be 25 amperes.

Why does the cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2110 not work?

This device is rarely used in a car for its intended purpose, for lighting cigarettes. However, it is popular even among non-smoking drivers. Other devices can be operated from the cigarette lighter socket. Most often they connect to the socket:

video recorder for recording movement;

fan;

additional power bank for powering a phone, tablet or laptop, charger for these devices;

navigation system;

compressor for inflating tires.

Therefore, failure of a part or fuse can lead to a lot of inconvenience for the car owner. Read the article about why the cigarette lighter in the VAZ 2110 model does not work, how to check it, find out the cause of the breakdown and carry out repairs.

How does he work?

The cigarette lighter is connected to the battery using a mounting block. When the cigarette lighter is turned on, a strong current flows through it.

Actually, this current heats up the element or allows you to connect a volatile device. Many motorists use this connector to charge a mobile phone, connect a navigator, or a tablet.

But most often the cigarette lighter is used to connect a portable electric pump. It allows you to inflate tires on the road without physical effort when there is no ordinary household outlet nearby.

Light from ten

As you use and connect all kinds of gadgets, the cigarette lighter may eventually stop working. This is often caused by a failed fuse.

The instruction manual for the VAZ 2110 includes a wiring diagram. On it this same fuse is marked F18. You will find it in the mounting block to the left of the steering wheel on the front panel. Please note that no current of more than 25 Amps should pass through this fuse.

VAZ 2110 cigarette lighter diagram

The device is powered through car wiring. The VAZ 2110 cigarette lighter connection diagram is shown in the photo. The pinout of the device is as follows: three wires come to the device - two positive and one negative.

Red, positive – connected to the cigarette lighter battery through fuse F18. The circuit current is 25 amperes, and if this parameter is exceeded, the protective element burns out.
Yellow. The positive wire is responsible for the cigarette lighter lamp.
Black, minus. It comes to the cigarette lighter body, and the other end is a mass powered through the car body.

Onboard circuit diagram and cigarette lighter fuse

The photo shows what the cigarette lighter assembly 2108-3725010 looks like. The yellow wire is the backlight power, and the red and black wires are connected to the heater.

Cigarette lighter assembly

As you can see, the ground wire of both circuits is common (black). Our words are illustrated by a diagram.

Standard version of the electrical circuit

Note that two fuses are responsible for the operation of the cigarette lighter - F18 and F9. The circuit of the first of them includes the glove compartment illumination.

If the cigarette lighter does not work, the first thing to do is open the glove compartment. There is no backlight, which means we check fuse F18. Then we look for a short circuit in the circuit.

What to do first

Be sure to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery (key “10”). Then, after removing the trim near the passenger's feet, find the connector with the black and red wires (see photo). It is disconnected, just like the connector with the yellow cord.

Heating element connector

At this point, all operations with electricity can be considered completed.

A cord of any color can come from the lamp. Find a connector with one terminal - this is what you need.

VAZ 2110 cigarette lighter does not work: reasons

Over time, any part can fail. Before you replace it with a new one or repair it yourself, you should understand the reasons why the VAZ 2110 cigarette lighter or its backlight does not work. A list of the most common faults and methods for solving them is presented below.

Fuse burned out

One of the most common cigarette lighter malfunctions is a worn-out protective element. The circuit current for normal operation of the fuse should not exceed the parameter 25 amperes. This fuse is located in the mounting block.

Diagnosing cigarette lighter problems

If malfunctions occur, the device should be inspected to determine the cause of the failure.

Turn on the heater fan. If it does not work, then the VAZ 2111 cigarette lighter fuse located in the mounting block has blown.
We inspect the contacts on the device itself and its socket. If there are oxides or rust, remove them with a file.
Visually inspect the cables coming to the device for fractures or breaks. We test the wires using a multitester. We turn it on for resistance, and then check each of the three cables coming to the device.

After identifying the problem, you can begin to repair the device.

Replacing the cigarette lighter VAZ 2110

To carry out the work you will need to stock up on suitable tools. You will need:

Screwdriver Set;
blowtorch with solder;
protective gloves;
multitester or 12 volt lamp;
insulating tape.

Before replacing a non-working VAZ 2110 cigarette lighter, you need to buy a working part. There are different options for the car. A standard long device has a number of disadvantages: poor contacts, unpresentable appearance.

Therefore, drivers prefer short Euro models. Their price ranges between 400-800 rubles, depending on the manufacturer. It is advisable to choose an original part. Installing such a car cigarette lighter yourself is not difficult - detailed instructions are shown in the video.

Is there a standard cigarette lighter?

VAZ 2112 models that came off the assembly line are equipped with long, old-style instruments. Their disadvantage is that they do not provide reliable fixation of connected devices that are designed to meet European standards. As a result, cigarette lighters sometimes short out and refuse to work correctly.

Many owners decide to replace the device on the 2112 with a new device (see photo). The cost of such a cigarette lighter ranges from 600 to 1.5 thousand rubles. Too low a price indicates low-quality materials used in the production of the part. Therefore, you should discard such elements; they will quickly break.

The negative terminal is connected to the car body.
The plus filament is located in the center and is connected to the cigarette lighter power line coming out of the fuse box.
The third contact is intended to supply power from the vehicle's side lighting.

Important! The standard block 2110 is not suitable for working with the Euro module. To do this, just find a contact connector in any auto store.

How to correctly connect the cigarette lighter directly to the battery via a fuse

It is enough to perform a simple sequence of actions.

Route the power line to the battery under the hood.
Connect the line securely to the battery terminal.
Next you need to insert a fuse into the system. It is usually placed directly in front of the device.
It is also useful to install a switch or relay here. To be able to accurately control the activation and deactivation of equipment. Typically, users connect the relay to the ignition switch. Thus, only after turning the key in the cylinder, the device will be powered.
The final step is connecting the wiring to the device.

Removing the cigarette lighter socket

The process of dismantling the seat is carried out in the same way.

We de-energize the system by removing the negative terminal from the battery.

Dismantle the gearbox casing and parking brake tunnel.
We bend the plastic screen so as to pry off the fixing tabs.
We remove the cigarette lighter socket through the opening with the wiring block.
We inspect the device and proceed to replacement.

Repairing a broken cigarette lighter

Sometimes replacement is not necessary. In some situations, you can carry out repairs yourself. Inside the car cigarette lighter itself is a small mica plate. This is a semiconductor that often fails. It needs to be removed. After this, it is worth assembling the device and then checking that it is working correctly.

Often you just need to treat oxidized contacts or solder fallen wires.

Instructions for replacing the backlight lamp

If you need to carry out this procedure, then you should act according to a certain scheme.

Turn off the ignition, and then remove the wires from the battery.
To get to the lamp, we dismantle the plastic lining inside the cabin.

A detailed video on how to remove a VAZ 2110 model device with your own hands is presented above.

Frequent problems and ways to solve them

Before changing the cigarette lighter, you should inspect other common breakdown areas. It may be possible to repair the part without replacing or dismantling it.

Frequent problems include:

Blown fuse. To check this element, you need to connect a standard 12-volt lamp to the socket, and then turn the ignition key. If the lamp does not light, the fuse has blown. It needs to be removed and replaced. You need to get to the block under the front panel and remove the non-working element.
Loose or oxidized contacts. It is necessary to check the connectors of the VAZ car cigarette lighter for the presence of rust, tighten them for tight contact.
Fallen wires. There is an age issue that should also be taken into account. To eliminate this, you should solder them to their seats.
Burnt out spiral. Treated by dismantling and installing a new nest. To extend the lifespan, it is advisable not to connect devices with high current strength, such as a compressor for inflating tires.

Is it worth making an additional cigarette lighter?

Many drivers install a second socket on their car. This will increase the number of potentially connected devices. But we must remember that the electrical system will experience heavy loads and the fuse may trip. Therefore, it is important to connect all wires correctly.

It is necessary to connect the new connector through a fuse to avoid melting the wires. You will need to cut a separate hole in the interior or trunk. An alternative to this method is to purchase a splitter that plugs into a standard socket.

How to check your cigarette lighter for problems

First of all, you need to visually inspect the wires that go to the mounting block (through them the cigarette lighter receives current from the battery).
In addition to inspection, you also need to check the connectors of the connections - they must “fit” tightly. It happens that they become separated.
Special attention should be paid to electrical connectors. They are located approximately in the same place as the passenger's left foot.
If there are problems with the wires, then you need to replace them (you will need new wires, electrical tape, a utility knife for stripping the insulation, rubber gloves).
