Why does the trunk open on a VAZ 2114?

How to open a VAZ 2114 without a key?
There may be situations in everyone's life when, due to an awkward accident, the car keys remain inside a slammed car. Usually, a spare set of keys is out of reach (at home, at work, on the other side of town) or is completely absent. What should a would-be motorist do in this case without the help of a locksmith? We’ll look further in our article. The creation of the Russian automobile industry, represented by the VAZ 2114, unlike its earlier predecessors, is equipped with cylindrical plugs on the door, which eliminates the option of opening the door using a rope or fishing line. In this case, ordinary iron wire will come to our rescue.

So, the sequence of actions will be as follows:

1. It's no secret that the density of the VAZ 2114 interior is achieved by using a rubber glass seal. To fix the glass, a seal is laid at its base: between the door frame and specifically the window glass. To get inside the car, we need to carefully pry the edge of the seal (from the side of the locking mechanism) and pull it out of the groove. It is most convenient to pry off the material with a narrow, flat object (a nail file, a flat screwdriver or a narrow penknife). It is absolutely not necessary to pull out the entire seal, because for subsequent manipulations a few cm of free space will be enough for us.
2. Next we will need to find a suitable piece of metal wire. Its length should be no less than the height of the door. At the end of the rod you need to make a 2-3 cm long bend at an angle of 45 0.
3. Now you can proceed specifically to the “opening” procedure itself. We insert the bent end of the wire into the door gap prepared in advance until it collides with the “obstacle”. This is usually the locking mechanism. Next, you need to gently twist, advance, and shift the wire to find a way around the lock. When you feel that the rod has “failed,” you need to carefully move the wire so that the curved end catches on the lever of the locking mechanism. Carefully pull the wire upward to open the doors.

Adjusting the trunk of a VAZ will help get rid of the annoying rattling noise in the rear of the car during a trip. Many car enthusiasts who bought one of the VAZ models have a question: what to do about this noise? Attempts to change the lock most often lead to failure; nothing changes. What measures should be taken in this case?

What actions should be taken if the key is left in the car?

The first question that a driver asks himself when he discovers that the car key is left in the cabin: how to open a VAZ 2114 in an easy and simple way without a key? The easiest way would be to call home and ask for an additional set of keys. If there is no one at home, you can call a special service that provides such services, but you will have to pay about 3 thousand rubles for such a service. But it’s realistic to find other ways to open a car without keys:

1. Using wire of appropriate length. Using a rigid wire at least 70 cm long, you can easily open the door. For this method, you should use a metal ruler, but such an object can rarely be seen nearby, of course, if the car owner does not steal other people's cars. Therefore, we will look at opening car doors using a wire. So, having found a piece of metal wire, you need to do the following:

• make a kind of bend at one end, which should resemble a hook for a fishing rod;
• the end with the bend must be carefully inserted between the seal and the glass, trying to pick up the door rod. Of course, such an operation is not so simple, and most often it is not completed successfully the first time. But one of the attempts will definitely succeed and help open the car door;
• You should not try to use thin wire for this method, as it will simply bend, and a thicker product will not be able to be inserted into a small slot.

1. Using a thin fishing line, but always strong. In a similar way, you can try to open a car door using a fishing line, which should be thin and at the same time strong enough. A small loop is made at the end of the fishing line, and this end is pushed into the gap between the body and the door seal. Having inserted the fishing line inside, you need to move it in different directions until it wraps around the loop of the door flag. Next, all that remains is to pull the ends of the fishing line so that the flag rises up. This method of opening doors is suitable if the car is equipped with a special flag, with which the car door is closed.
2. You can also try to open the door of the VAZ-2114 using a tennis ball in which a hole is made. To do this you need to do the following:

• press the tennis ball firmly against the car door lock, making sure that the hole where the key is inserted exactly matches the hole of the tennis ball;
• press the ball sharply so that a stream of air enters the inside of the castle;
• the air that gets inside should raise the door flag, which will help open the car door.

Many car owners claim that opening the trunk is much easier, and a key from another VAZ model will help with this. To do this, you just need to contact the driver of the other car and ask to use his keys.

Of course, you can simply break the glass, but in the future you will have to spend money on a new one, and not everyone will be able to break tempered glass the first time. In addition, this method of opening the door often leads to injury, so when deciding on it, you must first protect your face and hands.

Renault Logan device?

Renault Logan trunk - thanks to it, this car was able to overtake many competitors in popularity. Its displacement was developed taking into account the possibility of loading large cargo. To achieve a truly record-breaking luggage compartment capacity without compromising driving performance and passenger comfort, a truly gigantic amount of work was done! The changes affected not only the internal space. Thus, the height of the trunk lid was reduced, and its upper part acquired a kind of “superstructure”, reminiscent of a spoiler.

Renault Logan trunk

The most interesting thing is that the trunk lid does not include any torsion bars. Two springs are responsible for its raising and lowering. Moreover, it is even possible to adjust their force! To do this, you just need to move the end of the spring into the corresponding hole on the bracket, which is fixed to the body. As they say, the comparison here is clearly not in favor of Russian engineers.

However, there are disadvantages here too. For example, the luggage lid fastening loops have a fairly large radius of movement, and therefore can touch things in the compartment. The next “trouble” is the trunk lock, which, unfortunately, is quite delicate, and if handled insufficiently carefully, it can either jam or not latch at all. Fortunately, this shortcoming can be eliminated quite easily. If you have plumbing skills, fixing it will take about an hour. If you don’t have any skills, it’s quite possible to replace the “native” lock with the same or a similar one from Lada Kalina. The latter, by the way, will be cheaper. Well, for those who spare no expense on their “iron horse” and value their time, it is still better to turn to the technical center for help.

Luggage lid mounting hinges

To prevent similar, albeit minor, but nasty “surprises” from happening, the owner of the Renault Logan just needs to adhere to certain rules when using the trunk:

• periodically lubricate the lock, especially when preparing the car for the next season;
• The trunk lid must be closed without excessive force or impact;
• do not allow the trunk to be filled with cargo whose dimensions require closing with force, as well as with objects that significantly exceed the carrying capacity. The fact is that deformation of the body may occur, which will disrupt the sealing and tightness of the lid.

Occurrence of a problem

The new-fashioned body design of many VAZ models was the beginning of problems. In many cars, owners notice unpleasant noises and pops from the rear of the body. These loud noises occur when the car goes over bumps and the trunk door begins to knock. Most likely, this defect resulted from the fact that the car was tested in conditions suitable for travel - on a flat road surface. Under ideal conditions, it is difficult to notice that the locking plate or stem is not in the correct position. In addition, the gap usually appears only after driving on poor-quality surfaces due to vibration that occurs at the joints.

Another reason is wear of the closing mechanism. Because of this problem, the trunk of the VAZ 2114 opens while driving. The same situation occurs in other models. This happens because the locking tooth of the lock is either broken or almost completely worn out. It would seem that what’s wrong with this, because you can go and change the lock for a new one. But the problem will remain unless the approach to it is changed. The main locking mechanism must be replaced with a different type of device.

Also, the reasons that the trunk opens spontaneously while the car is moving may be the breakdown of silumin parts or wear of the seal.

In any case, the mechanism will have to be changed, but to what?

How to remove an old lock

The process of removal and replacement on hatchback (2113, 2114) and sedan (2115) cars is different, although the principle of operation is the same.

The procedure for removing the mechanism on a VAZ-2114:

1. Remove the plastic cover. The upholstery is attached to 10 pistons, which just need to be pryed off with a screwdriver. Access to the mechanism will open.

Removing the trunk lid

1. Unscrew the 2 bolts with an “8” key. The action must be carried out carefully; on one side there are terminals responsible for the windshield wiper and brake light on the spoiler.

Unscrewing 2 bolts

1. Remove the faulty element.

If the lid does not close, adjustment is required.

Removing and replacing the trunk lock of the VAZ-2115 sedan:

1. Remove the plastic cover by unfastening the pistons.
2. Access to the faulty part is open; the drive rod needs to be straightened. Unscrew the corresponding screw (not all the way). Remove the rod from the bushing.

Trunk lid lock drive

1. Go to the cylinder lever. Remove the mechanism rod and remove it.
2. Unscrew the 3 nuts of the product and dismantle it. Unscrew the cylinder mounting bolt and remove.

replacing trunk lock

for VAZ 2113, VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115

Welcome! Luggage compartment lock. it is responsible for closing and opening it, so the luggage compartment also remains in the closed position, and until you want it, it will not open, but eventually the lock will wear out or the luggage compartment lid will be replaced last, in this case the first. you will need to adjust and lock it if it is worn out and replaced with a new one, otherwise the trunk lid will not open (it will be a clamp, this is the worst case scenario), or will not open to itself (when moving over the shocks).

The note! To replace your trunk lock, stock up on the following tools, including: a set of screwdrivers, wrenches, and spanners; in addition, shims can also be helpful, but this is only if you need to adjust the lock and it needs to be adjusted. New castle castle!

Where is the download block? Any car has a trunk on the trunk, it doesn't play any role and it doesn't make sense, but if you also install a lock on this lock (every car also has a lock), then when you close the trunk lid, the lock will be engaged by this, the lock and the lid are locked, these two parts are located as follows, namely, the lock itself is located in the center of the rear of the trunk lid, as shown in the large photo, and the lock is not placed on the hood, but on the car body (see small photo), and when The trunk lid is closed, the lock has been cleaned in the latch and the lid is secured.

Main components of the electric trunk lock drive

It is best to connect the electric lock drive to a conventional mechanism in order to be able to automatically and mechanically open the luggage compartment of the car. Electric drives for VAZ cars exist in two types: on an electric motor and on magnetic plates. Due to its high performance characteristics, the first type is more in demand and popular among owners of domestic cars. But a drive made on magnetic plates is easier to install.

The electric drive consists of the following elements:

• contact relay;
• fuse;
• stock;
• buttons.

The advantages of this design are obvious: increased protection of the luggage compartment, which will become a real obstacle to an attacker; the trunk lock of the VAZ 2114 will work stably and in most cases without failure.

Installing an electric lock can be done in various ways. However, for it to function correctly, an alarm system must be installed on the car.

The body design of most domestic cars has some weakness - while the car is moving with an oncoming air flow, all the dirt, dust, and sand actively pollute the “stern”. In this case, the lock itself becomes clogged with small particles, which in the future results in a lot of problems with its functioning. So how to make a trunk from a VAZ 2114 button correctly?

Installation instructions for the electric trunk lock

If you are lucky with the standard lock, it locks and holds the tailgate well, then there is no need to change it.

In this case, you must have with you:

• window lifter roller;
• door activator;
• steel cable;
• wires with terminals;
• relay with four contacts;
• 10 A fuse.

To automate the opening of the trunk, it is necessary to ensure that the lock latch is pulled. For this purpose, a special roller is installed on the wiper gear housing. The steel cable is pulled through the roller and secured with conventional clamps. Experienced riders often use a bicycle cable because it is durable and flexible. Using it you can quite easily connect the door activator to the lock tongue.

You can connect the entire structure to the cigarette lighter if you do not have the proper knowledge of the car's electrical circuit. You just need to connect the plus from the cigarette lighter to the button and then to the lock. The negative comes from the taillight. Or carry out the operation of the trunk lock 2114 using a special relay.

Algorithm for installing the electric drive of the trunk lid lock

The electric trunk drive of the VAZ 2115 and VAZ 2114 is best installed from the standard kit.

For installation you need to prepare:

1. A cable made of metal material. Its dimensions are 1.5 mm by 0.5 m.
2. Several wires, about 5 meters long each, for contact connection.
3. Self-tapping bolts.
4. Contact groups from the terminal block.
5. Button to open the lock.
6. Holder and fuse.

Electric lock
It works like this:

1. You need to fix the bushing with a key 7 and use a screwdriver to unscrew the locking screw of the traction mechanism. Place a washer under the screw.
2. From the prepared kit with an electric drive, make a hook with a diameter of about 20 mm. Hook this part onto the lock screw and the electrical wire strip. Install the relay on the trunk using self-tapping bolts.
3. Fasten the plate to the activator, leaving a gap of about 15 mm, and then install the activator directly. This is done using self-tapping bolts.
4. From the prepared cable, make a rod that will connect the lever of the product to the rack. Connect the part with the locking mechanism and the fabrication tongue.
5. When connecting the wires, the cable can be routed using the installation of a roller mechanism, which is located in the window regulator. The remaining wires need to be hidden under the ceiling of the car, pulled under the interior trim.
6. Next comes the usual connection to the battery and installation of the fuse.

Replacing the cover yourself

To remove the trunk door you will need:

• knob;
• set of socket heads;
• slotted screwdriver;
• set of open-end wrenches.

Before starting work, you should disconnect the ground terminal (negative) from the battery in order to eliminate the possibility of a short circuit.

Replacement procedure

The replacement of the VAZ 2114 trunk lid itself is carried out in the following order:

1. Open the tailgate and secure it with a suitable size prop.
2. Using a flat-head screwdriver, pry the mounting location of the upper hinge of the gas-filled stop, press it inside the trunk and disconnect it.

Removing the upper trunk mount of a VAZ 2114

1. Using a flat-head screwdriver, pry up the lower fastening of the gas-filled stop and also disconnect it.

Removing the gas stop

1. In a similar way, remove the second gas stop.
2. Unscrew the fasteners and remove the brackets used to secure the stops.

Unscrew the brackets

1. Check the condition and straightness of the stops themselves - if they are bent or deformed, then you should purchase new ones and install them during reassembly.
2. Using a slotted screwdriver or a special puller, pry and remove the 10 pins securing the tailgate trim.
3. Remove the trim.

Removing the casing

We remove the trim on the doors of the Lada Kalina - what is the complexity of the process?

The car door trim, officially called the door panel, is most often removed to access the window lift mechanism for repair or lubrication. Much less often, this operation is carried out to install speakers, install noise and vibration insulation, replace facing panels or perform body work. But in any case, sooner or later, almost every car owner has to dismantle the door trim. At the same time, many of them, without resorting to the services of a service station, do it themselves, since this operation is quite simple and can be done by most car enthusiasts.

Adjusting the tailgate lock.

1. We unscrew the lock lock so that it can be moved with light force.
2. Now you need to close the door and look through the glass to ensure that the lock spike is opposite the latch socket.
3. After this, we move the latch all the way back and slam the door. This will ensure the lock lock is in the optimal position.
4. Open the door and tighten the bolts securing the clamp in the position in which it was installed.
5. It is also necessary to check that the door closes. If the door does not close tightly. then you need to remove the adjusting plate from under the clamp.
6. If the door closes too tightly, on the contrary, you need to add a plate under the latch.

You can make the adjustment plates yourself from tin or sheet iron.

Replacement options

The first option is banal to the point of impossibility - buy a similar lock. Moreover, you will need to buy the entire lock, and not a separate part, because the design of the mechanism is non-separable. Replacement is carried out when the old lock is completely dismantled. This solution should be considered temporary, since the production technology is the same and the problems will remain. Over time, a new lock will have to be replaced. The only positive side of this solution is that it is quite cheap.

The second option involves completely replacing the mechanical lock with an electrically controlled drive. What does this give?

1. Secure trunk closure.
2. Possibility to control the position of the rear door from the driver's seat.

Installing such a system is not the cheapest pleasure, but the final result will really please the user. The electronic drive is much more convenient to use and is a reliable replacement for its mechanical counterpart.

Dismantling the old castle

Before replacing, you will have to dismantle the old closing mechanism, and this is not so easy.

The VAZ 2114 model will be taken as an example.

The following tools will be useful in your work:

• set of Phillips screwdrivers;
• key to 8.

The replacement sequence is as follows:

1. First of all, in order not to damage the interior lining of the trunk, we remove ten plastic fasteners, and then the plastic casing from the lock.
2. We remove the casing, then unscrew the nut that secures the lock in place.
3. Unscrew the wires that are in the way.
4. Next, you need to unscrew the right fastening nut and remove the inner part of the lock from the fastenings.
5. You can inspect the integrity of the spring and core. If these parts are defective, then the problem is in the mechanism. In any case, everything will have to be changed.

If you prefer the economical option of replacing it with a new mechanical lock, then install it in the reverse order as described.

Drive installation

Adjusting the position of the trunk lid is possible if, instead of a mechanical lock, you install an electronic device, in this case a drive. To install it you will need:

• universal drive installation kit for the machine;
• metal cable with a cross-section of 1.5 mm and 500 mm long;
• two contact connection wires of 4.5 m each;
• screws with wide heads;
• opening button for the lock;
• retainer;
• fuse;

We install the drive in the prepared place, according to the instructions. Next, you will have to make several amendments to the design:

The VAZ trunk is opened by pressing a button that can be installed in the cabin.

The electronic device is adjusted according to the included instructions. All other nuances that should be taken into account when installing the device in VAZ models have been indicated.

Removal

3. On the connecting blocks of the wiring harness laid in the door, mark the color of the insulation of each wire connected to it.

4. Disconnect the wiring harness block from the windshield wiper gear motor block (see “Rear window wiper - removal and installation”). In the block that supplies voltage to the gear motor block, use a slotted screwdriver with a thin blade or an awl to tighten the locking tendrils of the wire tips. Disconnect the wires from the block.

5. In a similar way, remove from the block the tip of the wire that supplies power to the additional brake signal (see “Spoiler - removal and installation”).

7. Disconnect the wire of the door glass heating element (see “Tailgate glass - removal and installation”).

8. Pull the wires out of the tailgate.

9. Inside the car, after removing the decorative trim, use a 17 mm

Unscrew the upper seat belt mounting bolt.

Warning! Be careful not to lose the spacer located under the bolt.

10. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two self-tapping screws securing the rear pillar trim.

11. Release the trim from under the glass seal and move the upper part of the trim away from the pillar. We remove the trim on the other side of the car in the same way.

12. Remove the rear handrail trim. Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the rear handrail fastening screw.

13. Remove the handrail support plate.

14. Similarly, disconnect the rear fastening of the handrail on the opposite side of the ceiling.

15. Using a puller or a slotted screwdriver, remove the clamps of the three holders of the rear part of the headliner.

16. Take out the holders.

18. We move the edges of the upholstery out from under the glass seal and move the back part of the upholstery away from the ceiling at a distance of 5-7 cm.

Warning! To avoid bending the headliner, do not apply force.

19. Under the headliner with a 10 mm

Using a ratchet, unscrew two nuts securing the door hinges to the car body and remove the tailgate.

Warning! One of the nuts on the left loop secures the tip of the “mass” wires. When installing the door, do not forget to connect them!

10 mm socket wrench

Unscrew two bolts securing the hinges to the door frame and remove the hinges.

Kalinovsky trunk lock for VAZ 2114

I encountered a problem that the trunk lid with the factory lock began to open at the slightest effort. Therefore, I decided to change the trunk lock. My choice fell on the lock from the viburnum, I didn’t install from the grants because I wanted to leave the rear wiper. And so, what is required to install a lock from a viburnum: 1. The lock itself + the mate 2. Solenoid 3. The plug for the window lifter hole (it covers the hole from the factory lock cylinder) 4. A grinder And so let’s begin. I bought the lock from Viburnum, but I took the counter part from grants because... the bracket itself is thicker.

CastleAnswer from Granta She had to work a little on the sandpaper so that she could climb into the castle

We will have to saw off the parts we don’t need from the lock (well, they are unnecessary, they are needed for the viburnum, but we don’t need them) and remove the electric drive because It will open with the help of a solenoid rod.

The cutting line, we saw off everything above it. This is what happened. I made a hole in the body to remove the draft from it. Started fitting

Someone bends the brackets on the answers, but in my opinion this is not good, so I simply drilled out the existing holes.

This is what happened

And began the adjustment. The lock itself fits into the rear wiper mount without any problems.

Moment of adjustment

Here I was already glad that almost everything was finished, but when I closed the trunk, I saw that because of the lock the door did not fit tightly, I decided to saw off the bracket from the answer and digest it. By the way, I had never cooked before, I had to go to my neighbor and ask him to brew it, but in the end I cooked it myself using a semi-automatic device.

Don’t judge strictly, this is my first experience. If I could, I would make it prettier.

We move on to the outer part of the trunk lid, namely sealing the hole (hole) from the cylinder of the old lock.

This is what the plug looks like. A little glue and the plug falls into its rightful place. Well, everything is ready

You will ask me why I didn’t write anything about opening the trunk with a button, it’s all very simple, I already had a solenoid and that’s why I didn’t have to connect anything. And the Internet is full of connection diagrams. Thank you all for your attention, good luck and full tank!

Door travel limiters VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112

There was no longer time to “saw” the doors and delay assembly. The weather was not conducive to the “creative” process and adjustment with a file.

After a number of inconsistencies with the details of the grants, I hastily looked for a replacement. I couldn’t find an alternative with a door closer function at a similar price. What remains is the implementation of two door opening positions.

Options considered. 1) First, based on multiple recommendations, I searched for “Limiter from wv passat B3-B4.” There are no used ones in the city (delivery is not suitable due to the wait), new ones are very expensive. 2) Then the Chevrolet Lanos limiters caught my eye; their shape was very reminiscent of decimal ones. Also a decent lever radius and a similar base (at first glance). 3) Restrictors from Chevrolet Niva.

Now, in order. There is no first position and that’s okay. I'll start with Lanos. — 96259088 GM Door opening limiter I relied on external similarity and foolishly bought 4 pieces at once. Not knowing the future outcome of events, I took up the adjustment!

The base is classic, similar to VAZ cars. The lever is covered with plastic, the surface is shagreen. The foot is very similar to the viburnum mount.

Made with high quality, there is a boot, the rollers are not visible and are protected from external factors. They are divided into left and right, in my case it doesn’t matter. Let's compare with the factory one:

Limiter for Chevrolet Lanos and VAZ 2110

The bending radius is even greater than a tenth. There are also differences in the position of the studs; the distance between them is somewhat greater! I can’t say exactly, but about 1.5mm for each pin (same diameter).

Trying on, measurements, fitting and additional elements. 1) Dismantling the “foot”

Hole diameter 8mm (6mm in VAZ 2110). 2) The mounting ear is large in size and will not fit into the counter part. (18mm Lanos, 14mm VAZ 2110). We bore the last one.

We went through it with a milling cutter, the groove turned out to be 4.8 mm wide. Painted it black:

Additional modernization of locks

If you dream of your car doors opening and closing as smoothly as in foreign cars, try installing silent locks. Such a device can be installed on any model of Zhiguli. For representatives of the retro era, such modernization is also possible, but the locks themselves will have to be filed a little. By the way, you can also put it on the trunk. In general, there is no limit to perfection.

And the installation is, in truth, very simple and transparent. It is enough to dismantle the old locks, try not to drop the necessary elements inside the door, or remove the trim in advance. And then install new analogues on two bolts. There are situations when, after installation, the door does not close tightly or warps slightly, causing cracks to form. Solving the problem is also very simple by adjusting the location of the device. In general, initially try to secure it exactly where the old one was.

Preparation for installation

We purchase a lock kit. There are a lot of manufacturers of auto parts on the market now, but there are no special differences between the kits

It is important that the device has a warranty card and instructions for use and connection. Also in the box you will find:

Additionally, you need to stock up on a set of standard tools: pliers, screwdriver, screwdrivers, multimeter, drill with carbide drill bit. In addition to the standard accessories, immediately buy additional wires; it is quite possible that the length of those you find in the box will not be enough for you. Black heat-resistant insulating tape, corrugated tubes, and clips for fastening the trim will also be useful, since very often the trim of car elements is attached to disposable ones.
