Let's say the key in the VAZ-2109 lock does not turn or, conversely, turns and does not unlock the door. Repairing car locks involves one of the following actions: replacing the cylinder (cylinder), replacing or repairing the internal lock. In official manuals, by the way, it is recommended not to repair the internal lock mechanism, but to replace it. Be that as it may, you first need to get to it, for which you remove the door trim. Each of the actions required for dismantling is further illustrated in the photo. The entire sequence must be considered in order.
Device, principle of operation
Most often the front door lock on the VAZ 2109 breaks down. The operating principle is contained in a mechanism that is located not only inside the structure, but also outside. The device is a cylinder, inside of which the teeth fall into grooves during movement. When they close, a closing occurs; when they open, an opening occurs. On the vases there are standard products with a larva. If you periodically carry out lubrication, they will last a long time. To replace or repair the device, it is necessary to remove the interior trim, disassemble the steel block, and remove the core.
The larva's device is not sophisticated, but reliable. The teeth are located on both sides. They start moving with the help of a key on which there are notches. Manufacturers lubricate the internal elements well during assembly of the device, so the mechanism works properly for a long time. Inside the larva there is a latch that controls the operation of the pins and a rod that connects the chain of elements. If a tooth breaks, the case is damaged, or the groove is blocked, the mechanism will cease to perform its functions.
The VAZ 2108 door lock is sold in any car store. Average price – 1500 rub.
Removing the door trim
Before replacing any door handle on a VAZ 2109, dismantling the finishing structure is carried out in the following order:
- remove the window lifter handle: press the lock with a flat screwdriver, remove it and remove the element from the slots;
- unscrew the screws securing the armrest handle to the door (on new models the screws are hidden under a shaped plug);
- remove the plastic lining of the interior handle by prying it off with a screwdriver (can be fixed with an individual screw);
- remove the plastic lock release button using a Phillips screwdriver.
On the front doors it is additionally necessary:
- unscrew the screws securing the lower plastic trim to the door, equipped on later models with power window buttons;
- remove the speaker.
After removing all fasteners, the plastic trim, additionally attached with pistons, should be carefully detached from the door.
Main types of breakdowns
The first warning for the driver is an extraneous sound when turning the key. Jamming, difficult movement or blocking of the key inside the cylinder will indicate that something is wrong with the device. Variations of breakdowns:
- the pin broke;
- the groove or internal parts are rusty;
- mechanical damage to the door;
- water appeared and froze inside the castle;
- the retaining ring has failed;
- the latch broke;
- the thrust cap collapsed;
- the opening element broke, leaving part of the key inside the device;
- temporary wear of parts.
Driver's door lock repair
It so happened that when I picked up the car, the driver's door did not open or close with the key and it was not at all comme il faut to climb through the passenger door to open the driver's door from the inside. Therefore, a few days later I found the necessary repair kit, I wrote about this in one of the previous records
and now I got around to installing it. The procedure turned out to be relatively simple - I had to remove the door trim and replace the missing rod. Having previously looked at the instructions on where to unscrew what and how to remove it, I went to repair the lock.
In my case, the door trim was held on by 4 neat self-tapping screws, closed with plugs. Apparently, this was done so that the trim would not play. However, it also sat on all the pistons, which I managed to carefully remove, without breaking it, unscrewing all the screws.
Well, having removed the trim, you can now get to the door handle.
Looking through the door, I noticed that the old rod was inside, but for some reason it was not connected. But since I had new spare parts, I decided to remove the old one and install a new one. This is where the most interesting part began: This 100 ruble repair kit turned out to be so crappy that all my plastic was cracked even before installation in the door. And when I assembled everything, because of the cracked plastic, the door lock did not open, but stupidly popped out of its groove .I had to give up on the whole thing and install the old, original rod. The plastic is oak, high quality, unlike new consumer goods. Well, having assembled everything, the hardest part remained - connecting the rod to the lock itself. Since the plastic is oak and hard, I have It didn’t work out at all, I fiddled with it for about 20 minutes until I pressed it with all my strength with pliers. In the end it turned out like this:
Well, then I assembled everything in reverse order in a couple of minutes.
PS: My advice to anyone who encounters a similar problem is that if your plastic part is broken, then look for a better repair kit, since this one, from AvtoVAZ, is completely crappy.

Repair
In order for the outer right front door lock on 2108 or any other part to work again without flaws, the cause of the breakdown must be established. After disassembling the lock block, access to the cylinder will be gained. Having pulled out the core, inspection will reveal the type of damage and further actions. For this you will need:
- screwdrivers;
- pliers;
- socket wrench 8;
- Silicone Grease;
- knife.
Additionally, it is necessary to purchase spare parts that will be replaced, a cylinder or a whole lock. Experts recommend replacing the core immediately. Repairing individual fragments is a temporary measure.
"Nine" and the door lock device
Theoretically, the lock mechanism can be divided into 3 parts: a handle with a cylinder and a button, the main mechanism, and the inner door handle. All nodes and connections between them are shown in the diagram.
The node labeled “2” looks like this.
4 rods fit to it, that is, to this node. Two of them are connected to the external handle, and in order to dismantle it, the rods are disconnected.
If there is no electrical wiring inside the door, you do not need to disconnect the battery before performing repairs.
In other cases, that is, when power windows or locks are installed, the battery must be disconnected. To do this, as many people know, it is enough to remove the “negative” terminal. This means that before repairing locks, the hood is opened first, not the doors. Anyone who violates such a requirement will, at best, have to change burnt fuses.
Replacing the rear door lock
The process begins with unwinding the door card trim. Following are the instructions:
- Dismantling the plugs, the internal handle: the latches are unfastened, the screws are unscrewed.
- The decorative panel opens, but not all the way. After the electrical wiring is disconnected, the facing fragment can be removed completely.
- The rod is detached from the closing device.
- The bracket, retainer, and left internal screw are removed.
- The lock washer is removed and the liftback is turned off.
When the cylinder is untwisted, it will become clear: lubrication, replacement of parts, the core or the entire lock is required. After removal, the driver can install a new part. To change the lock completely, the retaining bolts are unscrewed. Installation of another mechanism is carried out in a similar manner.
If desired, you can remake the device. For example, to assemble one new one from two old ones.
Adjusting and removing the latch, as well as replacing the trunk lock on a VAZ 2108, VAZ 2109:
Removal:
At the beginning of the operation, remove the trim from the trunk lid, to do this:
First, use a screwdriver to pry up the “10” pistons and then remove them.
And after removal, remove the trim from the trunk lid of the car.
When the casing is removed, use a wrench or socket wrench to remove the two nuts that secure the lock to the cover.
Note!
When unscrewing the nuts, be careful, because immediately behind one of this nuts there are two “negative” terminals, which can be very easily damaged!
Next, when the nuts are unscrewed, disconnect these two “negative” terminals from the metal stud.
And then remove the lock from the trunk lid.
Now let's move on to removing and adjusting the latch.
Note!
If you do not want to remove it and know that it is well adjusted, then continue reading below, in the “Installation” section!
To remove the clamp, first unscrew the two bolts that secure the clamp using a wrench.
Note!
If the trunk lid does not close well, or when closing the lid there is an impact in the area of the lock, then in this case, adjust the position of the latch by moving it in the desired direction!
Then use a screwdriver or hand to pry up the fastener and then remove it from the car body.
Note!
If the trunk lid again does not close well and has vertical play, then in this case, adjust the position of the lock exclusively in height!
Finally, remove all adjusting washers.
Note!
If necessary, increase or decrease the number of shims. This will make the trunk lid easier to close!
Installation:
To install the lock and door trim in place, follow the steps below:
- First, attach the new lock to the place where the old one was installed.
- Then put two “negative” terminals on one of the studs and then tighten both nuts securing the lock.
- And finally, install the casing in its place, securing it with ten pistons.
To install the latch, do the same but in reverse order, that is:
- Increase or decrease the number of shims.
- After this, install the lock retainer on top of these washers and subsequently adjust and tighten it with two bolts.

Ignition switch VAZ 2109
The ignition switch of the VAZ 2109 is designed to start the car engine. In this article we will look at replacing the ignition switch and its connection diagram (pinout).
How to change the ignition switch on a VAZ 2109
Remove the six screws securing the lower steering column housing.
Remove the lower steering column cover and ignition switch trim.
Remove the upper steering column cover.
Disconnect the ignition switch wiring harness from the wiring harness.
Disconnect the block with the ignition switch wires from the ignition relay.

Ignition switch device VAZ 2109
The device for removing and installing the ignition switch, as well as the connection diagram for the contact group of the ignition switch on the VAZ 2109 does not depend on the type of instrument panel, whether high or low, the ignition switches are the same.
- When replacement is required
- Troubleshooting Methods
- Preparation
- Removing a faulty lock
- Installing a new device
- Steering lock testing
The switch, also known as the ignition switch, plays a huge role in the “starting” system of the VAZ 2114 car. It takes part in the operation of the starter, headlights, turn signals, power windows and other elements of electrical circuits. Today we will talk about the ignition switch of the VAZ 2114, the reasons for its replacement, the dismantling procedure and much more.
Egnition lock
The door lock on a VAZ 2109 is jammed - how to fix it
Incorrect operation is caused by various situations: prolonged wear, moisture, broken metal parts or rust. To correct the situation, disassembling the mechanism will be required. Next steps:
- Visual inspection.
- Removing dirt, cleaning corrosion.
- Replacement of metal parts.
- Lubrication.
- Assembly.
Replacing pins, retaining rings or retainers is a fine job. Not every driver without proper experience is able to do this.
Replacing the contact group of the ignition switch VAZ 2108
From a financial point of view, replacing a contact group is the least expensive. Everything in principle, as in the previous case with the lock cylinder, you will have to remove the lock and casing. To avoid troubles associated with mixing up contacts, I recommend numbering or somehow designating the wires where each was connected, this will save time and nerves. Some models of locks have a retaining ring in the contact group; you will need an awl to remove it. When finished, be sure to reinstall the retaining ring.
If everything is much more complicated for you and replacing the cylinder or contact group did not lead to anything, you cannot avoid replacing the ignition switch; read on to find out how to do this.
How to install a silent lock
Silent mechanisms are installed on foreign-made vehicles, but no one forbids installing this device on a domestic car. These locks are considered more reliable and of higher quality. Removal and installation is carried out from the outside. Installation instructions:
- The screws are unscrewed. The handle is removed.
- The latch is released.
- The old product is replaced with a new one.
- The bolts are tightened. This must be done with effort.
- Adjustment is in progress. A functionality check is being performed.
If the key is difficult to turn, you can loosen the bolts holding the lock. To extend the service life, a special gasket is additionally inserted next to the screws.
Self-replacement of the ignition switch of a VAZ 2108
- For this work, you need to use special bolts with break-away heads; I do not recommend using twenty-millimeter M6 bolts instead, since in this case it will be easier not only for you, but also for car thieves to remove your ignition switch.
- Using a chisel, you need to unscrew or knock down the bolts.
- Before replacing the lock, turn the key to the “I” position so that the latch that locks the steering shaft mechanism can enter the lock body.
- Now that nothing is in the way, you can begin installing the new ignition switch.
- Install it on the steering column, secure it with a bracket, then tighten the structure with new mounting bolts.
- After installation, do not forget to make sure that the steering shaft locking mechanism is working correctly; if the mechanism does not work, after a full turn of the steering wheel, you need to adjust the position of the ignition switch on the steering column.
- Upon completion of adjusting the position and checking the functionality of the locking mechanism, tighten the bolts until the heads are completely torn off, to do this, use a 10mm spanner.
Start the engine, make sure it is operating correctly and there are no problems with starting, if everything is in order, we conclude: replacing the VAZ 2108 ignition switch with your own hands was a success!
What you need to prepare for work
The replacement itself is not particularly difficult, but it will require a lot of tools.
Stock up:
- screwdrivers - flat, Phillips and impact;
- 8mm head;
- pliers;
- medium weight hammer;
- wrench or ratchet.
Of course, you will also need a working cylinder, as well as lubricant. For the latter, a silicone-based composition is ideal.
Having prepared all of the above, you can get to work.
How to replace a lock
The design of the locks on the front and rear doors of the car is fundamentally the same, the difference lies in the installation of the lock switch cylinders on the external handles on the front doors. Instructions on how to replace the front door lock are presented below:
Disconnection points for switch rods
Tip: During assembly, sealant was applied to the threads of the screws, so when twisting, you need to use an impact screwdriver.
The handle and lock are removed from the door
Removing the retaining spring
Tip: If you need to remove the retainer, you must first trace its outline on the body pillar. This will help maintain the door lock adjustment during installation.
How the door locks are removed on a VAZ 2109 car can be clearly seen in the video.
Let's sum it up
The Chinese seal is apparently made of steel, so when it comes time to replace it, the collar on it will be more difficult to break off for replacement. But I hope the rear door lock will last a long time. Otherwise, you will have to change the entire lock, at least the upper part. It can be found at the auto repair shop. Replacing the larva will not be cheap.
The engine is running, the car is not moving - the causes of the malfunction.
The repair took me about an hour, this was in winter. I would also like to add that when you remove the plastic trim on the back door, do it more carefully. The mounting clips are fragile and can break off, especially in cold weather.
If the lock itself, installed on the door of a VAZ model 2109, is considered a reliable device, then even an inveterate optimist cannot call its cylinder such. Difficult weather conditions and intensive use significantly reduce the service life of this part. It is impractical to repair it, and the manufacturer does not provide such an option. Therefore, in order not to travel by bus, a complete replacement of the failed cylinder is necessary. We will tell you how to implement it further.
Tools
The job of replacing the larva is not difficult, but you will need quite a lot of tools. So, you will need:
- Impact screwdriver;
- Slotted screwdriver;
- Phillips screwdriver;
- 8 wrench;
- Pliers;
- Hammer;
- Ratchet.
Armed in this way, you can safely begin carrying out repair work.
Door opening method
If the VAZ-2109 door does not open from any side, then the cause of the breakdown is difficult to determine, since there is absolutely no access to the lock mechanism.
A somewhat simplified version of the breakdown occurs when the door does not slam shut completely and gets stuck in that position. Then it is possible to reach the latch from the outside with a sharp object.
To open a jammed door, you must first perform the following steps:
When simple means do not produce results, the door will have to be opened from inside the cabin, which will require removing its trim.
In practice, this is not easy to do, because the casing is pressed by the sash and it is difficult to pull it out without damage. But there is still no other way out: it is better to damage the inner panel than to mutilate the door itself.
