Windshield washer motor vaz 2110 DIY repair

In detail: a windshield washer motor VAZ 2110 DIY repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Again, the most pressing topic for car owners in the spring is the problem with the windshield wiper. and also with a windshield or rear window washer. In fact, this post will be a repetition of the previous one about the malfunction of the VAZ 2110 wipers, but still - there are also individual moments here.

In fact, the problems in which glass washers may not work can be divided into two points:

  • electrical part
  • mechanical part

As for the electrical, here first of all it is worth checking such elements as:

  1. Fuse that is responsible for powering the windshield washer motor
  2. Washer switch relay
  3. Directly the washer motor itself

If after checking it turned out that all of the listed items have no problems, then it is worth checking the following:

  1. See if there is water in the tank. If it is absent, fill the tank to the required level with antifreeze liquid or water, depending on the ambient temperature.
  2. Pay attention to the integrity of the hoses, and if there are damage in some places, repair them or completely replace the damaged hoses
  3. Check and, if necessary, clean the holes in the nozzles (nozzles) of the VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112 washers. It often happens that when using dirty water in the tank, the nozzles become clogged and then water cannot normally flow through their holes

If you do not like the quality of spraying water on the windshield, then you can slightly modify the washer system by using the so-called fan nozzles. You can clearly see this in the video review below.

A video clip will be presented below, where everything is clearly demonstrated.

I hope that this material will help you when solving the problem with the VAZ 2110 and the windshield washer!

Considering the pollution of Russian roads, on which, with the slightest rain, so much dirty water rises into the air by the wheels of cars that it immediately, during heavy traffic, clogs up the windshield with dirt. Therefore, on all vehicles, including VAZ-2110 cars, the windshield washer must be in good working order, because the safety of driving on a wet road after rain will depend on it.

In the event of a malfunction of the "tens" washer, the driver will first of all have to check the integrity of the fuse that protects this electrical circuit. Your further actions will depend on the state of this fuse. If it is intact, we check the performance of the pump motor.

To do this, you need to disconnect the two plugs from the terminals of the electric motor, and then, using two wires, directly connect the voltage from the battery to the contacts of the electric motor. In this case, the polarity of the connection must be observed. To the terminal to which the pink wire came, we connect the plus from the battery, and to the terminal to which the two black wires fit, we connect the minus from the battery.

If the pump motor does not work, then it will have to be replaced with a new one. And if the pump electric motor starts working and at the same time supplies liquid to the windshield through the nozzles, then the reason will need to be looked for either in a malfunction under the steering switch, or a broken wire or the disappearance of the contact in the plugs connecting the wires to the electrical circuit supplying voltage to the washer motor.

The second option is also possible, the washer motor is working, and the liquid does not flow to the windshield. This will indicate that either the nozzles or the washer pump strainer are clogged. Also, the fluid will not be supplied to the windshield, due to a broken hose from the washer pump to the injectors.

The windshield washer is a rather useful and necessary invention in the VAZ-2110 car. This device is designed to make life easier for drivers. When there are no problems with the windshield washer on a VAZ-2110 car, we simply do not notice it and perceive it as an ordinary thing. But when there is a problem with him, we immediately remember his invaluable and irreplaceable. It may seem to some that driving a VAZ-2110 car without a windshield washer is simply impossible.

This is indeed the case. We quickly get used to good things. The same situation is with the washer. After all, once upon a time this function was not in cars, and this suited any driver. At that time it seemed to them that the car had everything they needed, and there was nothing more to add.

This material will focus on the windshield washer in VAZ-2110 cars. We will look at the possible causes of its malfunction and find out how to deal with these problems.

At its core, the windshield washer consists of two parts - mechanical and electrical. Malfunctions in this device in VAZ-2110 cars often appear in the mechanical part, but in most cases such problems are insignificant and do not require any effort to eliminate them.

One fine morning, you get into your car and want to wash your windshield. Press the washer button and ... By obscenely commenting on what is happening, you get out of the car, take the first rag that comes to hand and go to wipe the glass.

Mechanical reasons why the windshield washer may not work

If you do not find the above problems, then most likely there is a breakdown in the electrical part.

First of all, you need to make sure that the fuse is intact. If it burns out, it needs to be changed.

It is also worth looking at the condition of the terminals of the motor, which is located in the windshield washer reservoir. If oxidation or rust appears on the metal, it must be cleaned with fine sandpaper.

The invention of the glass washer made it possible to provide additional comfort and safety to motorists, passengers and all road users.

When the washer works well, clearly performs the tasks assigned to it, few people pay attention to it. Until the device starts to "junk" and give the first signs of malfunction.

What does the driver do if a layer of dust or some kind of dirt suddenly contaminates the windshield on the street? That's right, he presses a special lever under the steering wheel of his VAZ 2110, turns on the washer pump, which, in turn, interacts with the wipers and removes all this rubbish... What if the pump is out of order? Then there are two options:

  1. Drive further, do not stop, looking through the dirty windshield, or even look at the road, leaning out through the side glass;
  2. Stop, wipe the windshield by hand and continue driving.

The second option is more attractive. But this is a temporary measure that will allow you to get to the garage where you will have your washer repaired.

In a front washer, all existing faults can be divided into two main types, which have their own subproblems, let's say. We suggest you familiarize yourself with them in the table.

Fault type

Breakdown options

Washer fluid reservoir empty

But each of these faults deserves a more detailed consideration.

It is with mechanical malfunctions of the washer that the owners of the VAZ 2110 most often encounter.This is when compared with the regularity of electrical problems.

Although mechanical problems are more common, electrical problems should not be forgotten.

  1. Fuse blown ... If, when turning on the device for cleaning the windshield, the pump does not show any signs of functioning, there is a fairly high probability that the reason lies in a failed fuse. Check its condition. If the device really burns out, it is enough to simply replace it with a new one.
  2. The switch does not work ... If the pump stops working, but the fuse is intact, then the problem may be a faulty steering column switch. To test this, do a little system testing. But for this you need an assistant. Turn on the ignition and ask a friend to turn on the washer. At the same time, go to the pump yourself and check the presence of voltage in it. In the presence of voltage, but lack of functionality, you will have to change the motor, that is, the pump. If there is no voltage, then a switch, relay, or wiring is the culprit. Check everything. Replace what is needed.
  3. Clamps oxidized ... Be sure to check the condition of the pump terminals. It is not uncommon for the wiring to oxidize due to moisture, literally falling apart over time. If this happened to your washer, try to properly replace the damaged wiring.

When replacing the windshield washer pump, it is necessary to select a device similar to the previously installed one.

We give in the table the main indicators and characteristics of the device.

Operating temperature range

-40 to +125 degrees Celsius

The consumed amount of current

Having picked up a pump that is suitable for its characteristics, you can start replacing it on your VAZ 2114 car.

The check showed that the reason for the washer not working lies precisely in the pump (pump). Therefore, the most optimal solution in such a situation is to completely replace this very pump.
