DIY VAZ 2115 taillight repair

And if the owners of 2108-2114 and cars of the tenth family have an alternative in the form of the domestic OSVAR rear optics, then the tag for some reason turned out to be completely deprived in this regard. I really do not want to buy Chinese products with problems when going through MOT, and even without a guarantee for normal operation and a space view.

There are several treatment options available. I followed the path of complete rejection of the conductive tape and the use of cartridges for each lamp from the VAZ 2101. This option was described back in 2007 in the magazine "Behind the wheel".

We take out the taillights board, use a screwdriver to pry on the plastic cartridges and take out the tape.

on the board you can see where the contact disappeared and because of this the lamps did not burn

In the taillights of the tag, double lamps are used on the dimensions and feet, therefore in stores you need to look for double cartridges for dimensions and stops, and single for direction indicators. In the VAZ 2108-2114 models, all cartridges are single. The cost of such cartridges in the store is 15-30 rubles. In addition, you will need wires, lugs, connectors (you can also take computer ones), bolts with M3 nuts for fastening the cartridges.

The electrical diagram of the rear lights of the VAZ 2108-2115 from the book. Everything seems to be more than clear, the total weight and pluses for each cartridge.

According to this diagram, the serial connection of side light and brake light lamps is not shown for tags. Quickly sketched a cheat sheet for myself.

Now we need to arm ourselves with patience. Mark and drill holes for cartridges in the same places where they were installed earlier. The metal part of the cartridge had to be slightly modified, namely, on the cartridges of dimensions and stoplights, the terminals for the tips with pliers were moved 180 degrees, and from the cartridges of the direction indicators, they generally bit out.

drilled and filed holes for chuck

To attach to the plastic base, the cartridges used small bolts with M3 nuts, it came out neatly. But all the work is rather painstaking and not fast.

Since I did not find single cartridges for the turn signals, I made a jumper on the double in the center.

After all the cartridges are secured, the most enjoyable and interesting part remains. well, at least for me, electrical wiring.

First, I made the total mass by sequentially connecting all the cartridges, then a plus on the turn signal and sequentially connecting the pluses on the terminals of the brake lights and dimensions.

I rang the resulting wiring and, making sure that I hadn't screwed it up anywhere, I built up the purchased connector block.

It remains now in the car to change the stock block for the newly purchased one.

Hello everyone. Today we'll talk about how to replace a taillight on a "tag" in case of damage or unpresentable appearance. All the work, as always, will be done independently, that is, at home.

I will not talk for a long time about why a taillight is needed and why it needs to be changed, I think this is already clear to everyone. Instead, I propose to go directly to the replacement process.

For replacement, you only need one key for “8”.

1. The first step is to open the trunk.
2. Next, you need to bend the trim in order to approach the headlight.

3. Let's go further. Disconnect the headlamp power connector, for this it is enough to pull the block with the wires.

4. After that, pressing the latch-lock, we take out the cover on which the board and lamps are located.

5. Using the “8” wrench, unscrew the four nuts that secure the headlamp to the body.

When the headlamp is holding nothing, it can be dismantled.

The old headlight has been dismantled, you can start installing a new one. The assembly is carried out in the reverse order. We install the headlamp in place and fasten it to the previously unscrewed nuts.

When replacement of "stop" on VAZ 2115 completed, you can collect the tool, wash your hands and check the work. That's all for me, thank you all, everyone is free ;-). Until next time at VAZ Repair. Till.

A VAZ 2115 car, the rear lights of which can be not only decorated, but also protected - isn't this one of the driver's wishes? How to make a VAZ 2115 tuning and repair of signal lights - below in the article.

It is necessary to tune the headlights not only in order to somehow distinguish the car from the general stream, but also for the safety of the optics. Often only at first glance "gadgets" are an elegant decoration, for example, the same eyelashes for headlights, however, in fact, they protect the optics from an unfavorable environment.

Headlamp covers are the favorite and most popular way for car enthusiasts to tune their taillights.

They can be made by hand using:

• LED bulbs;
• fiberglass;
• adhesive tape and epoxy glue.

Rear lights

The scheme of actions is as follows:

• cover the entire surface of the rear light with adhesive tape, on top with fiberglass, on which the overlays will be installed;
• cover the fiberglass in several layers with epoxy liquid, and do it so that there are no defects on top;
• wait for the liquid to dry, then remove the blank for the lining and outline the outline of the future decoration on it;
• cut the profile on the template with a cutting tool;
• sand with fine-grained emery paper;
• cover with a primer layer to protect against corrosion, then paint and cover with a special protective varnish;
• mount LED blanks.

Installing LEDs is a rather creative solution, because there are a lot of options.

To implement the idea, you need to spend some amount of time drawing, as well as prepare the following tools:

• a set of LED lamps and resistors;
• fasteners;
• adhesive tape and glue;
• a device like a dock sealer.

LEDs in the rear lights

For installation, you need to perform the following actions:

1. Pull out the headlight, reflectors and reflectors, and then separate the glass.
2. Use a marker to fix the places where the LEDs will be installed.
3. From the inside, glue the pre-prepared small round fragments cut from adhesive tape.
4. Paint the lights, and after the paint has dried, remove the tape.
5. Install the reflectors with epoxy glue, then seal each joint with a sealant.
6. Attach the LED boards to the car wiring by marking them inside the lantern.
7. Collect turn signal control units, restore contacts.
8. After that, install the modules on the glue (video by Alex Aitov).

To create a lantern on the basis of the ring, you need special glue. A diode ring will be used for the base. The headlamp housing is made of reflectors. In addition to other materials, you will need paint that matches the color of the product.

Manufacturing takes place in this way:

1. The diode rings must be installed in the tin cylinders.
2. You can make them from cans, while cutting holes so that the tin looks like a well: external and internal.
3. Install a reflector in each such well. The remaining space in the device can be decorated with a LED ring.
4. Install the reflectors using adhesive clips to successfully connect the device to the body.

Diode rings

For self-tinting glass, you first need to dismantle it. If you do not remove the glass, you need to remove the seals. Before tinting, thoroughly clean the windshield, carefully examining all the corners and places where the most dust collects.

When the window is degreased, it must be wiped again so that there is not a speck of dust. Spray the glass surface with a special solution, and gently apply a strip for tinting on top.After applying the film, carefully remove all air bubbles with a staple.

Regarding faults associated with optics, we can say that the most popular problem is the contacts in the board come off. To avoid such problems, many car enthusiasts exchange boards for cartridges. The board in the lanterns burns out at regular intervals, but modernization can be a way out.

The replacement takes place without any particular complications: remove the board, make a suitable hole for the cartridges in their place. Then make contacts from the total mass. When working, be careful not to blow fuses. After that, there should be no problems with the headlights.

For a more successful revision of the rear lights of the VAZ 2115, you can take a look at the photos provided below.

You can learn about how the rear lights are being modernized not only for the VAZ, but also for the UAZ from the video from the author of AUTO ADVANCES.

Recently I myself was puzzled by the work of the taillights on my 15-ke. They all lit up together, then blinked. Having rummaged through the Internet and read various articles on modernizing the wiring of the rear lights, I decided to get down to business.
I went to the store to look for the necessary parts. But there were no cartridges from a penny in our stores. After thinking, I decided to see what the local autodisassembly is rich in.

The most easily accessible were the rear cartridges from the old "gazelle" (the new cartridges are slightly different and the light bulbs have not quite standard caps). Then we take out the rear lights board, use a screwdriver to pry on the plastic cartridges. Having taken out the cartridges, we carefully cut the tape, leaving the contacts to which we will solder the wires.

We do not throw out the tape.
Mark and then drill holes for cartridges in the same places where they were installed earlier.

For better fit and size reduction, "Gazelle" cartridges are best processed by cutting off the excess with a hacksaw. It is better to drill holes up to 10 mm with a drill. Further, if there are drills of a larger diameter, then in order to avoid tearing the plastic, it is better to drill by hand and then finish with an ordinary knife, cutting off everything unnecessary.

We glue the cartridges, check the contact of the central part. If the contact is in doubt, it is better to re-solder.

We solder the wires to the minuses and insulate them. I insulate it with a heat shrink tube, heating it from different sides with the bare part of the soldering iron tip. We drill a hole for the wires and bring everything to the inside.

We make the total mass by connecting all the cartridges.

Having combined the electric tape and the trim, we find a minus along its tracks. We are looking for a plus for turn signals. Also, according to the scheme, we determine the contact of the side light lamp and the brake light. With a sharp knife, carefully peel off the green varnish to the copper base, and then quickly tinker the ends of the cleaned path. If you heat a piece of track with a soldering iron for a long time, then the track seems to spread. After the wires have been soldered to the track, we cover them with varnish or sealant.

We fix the wires with thermal glue. We put everything back and check the performance. As a result; nothing dangles from the outside. The pads remain native. Lamps (21w by 12 W) are conventional with one spiral, they work no worse than 2 spirals. Nothing is buggy.

PS: There are almost no costs for this upgrade. Bullets at auto dismantling are free (there they are thrown away in a place with bulbs). I used "window glue" for gluing plastic (150 rubles). Also on the second headlight I used cartridges from the "Gazelle" of the new model (from the rear turns, diameter 20 mm., Old model 16mm).

Repair of the connector of the rear lights of the VAZ 2115

In general, these lanterns pulled me up.

The brake light is constantly disappearing, now to the left, now to the right. Placing all sorts of pieces of paper and matches does not solve the problem for long. Climbed into the Internet to study the mind-mind. Stumbled upon a master class by one dude at http: // ***** / forum / showthread. php? t = 7835

He uses some tricky connectors there called Wieland Electric GmbH “25.303.0653.0”

I scratched my turnips and went to the "Young Technician" in search of similar things. But the TOAD strangled me for two pribluda to give 200-300r.

And then my mind brightened. And not to attach to me, instead of the bourgeois Wieland connectors, our, so to speak, native MOLEX?

Arriving home, I crawled into my bins in search of dads and moms for MOLEX. Miraculously, I had just two sets and I did not have to spank again into this "Young Technician".

Good day to all. Please tell me if anyone faced such a problem as mine. In my "tag" lately, brake lights often do not light up on the right side, I have already waved these contacts to move, and today it is in general, instead of a left turn, the dimensions are blinking. In general, the removal of the brain. And the most important thing is safety. Chinese nonsense is reluctant to collective farms. in general, share your experience with anyone, thank you very much in advance.

it is a disease of samar. One of the options is to solder the wiring to the loop, cut off the chips and connect the contacts and you will be happy

You do not have to look for cartridges, but in the existing ones between the stop (the “paws” of which are constantly breaking off) and the “foil”, lay 1 - 4 layers of cardboard, depending on its thickness, so that the lamp comes in with an interference fit. And solder the wires to the “foil”.

It is already a passed stage, to run and only run away from plastic and thin paths on the board to reliable Sovdep cartridges)))))

Inattentiveness on the road can lead to an accident. Broken taillights are often the result of minor accidents. Fortunately, they are very easy to replace.

The cost of a new taillight ranges from 500 to 100 rubles. A set of left and right taillights will cost you from 1,000 to 2,300 rubles.

You will need:

• Key to "8" (in the case of VAZ 2115)
• New tail light

Step-by-step instructions for replacing a rear light on a VAZ 2115, 2114, 2113:

• Open the trunk, find a fabric trim in its right corner.
• Fold down the cover and remove the wires hidden under it from the connector. Be careful not to damage the board.
• Remove the board where the connector is inserted. It is removed after pressing the latch with your fingers.
• Remove the four nuts from the bolts that secure the taillight.
• Pull out the lantern carefully and replace it with a new one so that the four bolts line up with the holes.
• Reinstall the nuts, install the board, insert the connector with the wires into it and cover the fabric cover.

Video instructions for replacing the rear light on a VAZ 2115:

Welcome!
Rear light - the car performs a lot of functions, firstly, it warns other road users about when you make a turn in any direction (Turn on the turn signal), and also thanks to this lamp, at night your car is visible, except this when pressing the brake pedal,stop lights come on at the rear light, and thus, the person driving behind you understands when you are braking, therefore this lamp is very important for the car and if it becomes unusable (breaks), then it will need to be changed, to make it safe for you and your It gives a car, you must admit, it is not convenient when you follow a driving car in front and because of a broken lamp, you don’t understand when the car slows down, and whether it has a turn signal turned on or not.

Note!
To replace this lamp on a car, you will not need a lot of tools, the most important of which you will need to stock up on are: A small set of wrenches, as well as a screwdriver may be needed and that's it!

Summary:

When should you change the tail light?
At the beginning of the article, we already pointed out the fact that the lantern is not a purely decorative element, but it still affects your safety very strongly, so if it breaks and the bulbs in it stop working, then it is best to replace it if there is no money for a new one yet. , then you can put new bulbs, but they will quickly become unusable, since all the dirt will fall on them, in this regard, the light from the bulb will not scatter properly (there is a lot of dirt on it for some time) and the lamp itself will be very get very hot, and therefore, in a very short period of time, it will become unusable.

Withdrawal:
1) To a greater extent, on many cars the taillights are attached to nuts, so it happened with cars of the Samara 2 family, so it will be very easy for you to remove the taillight, at the beginning of the operation you will have to open the trunk and bend the native (Factory) carpet to the side (B on the carpet, the place will be cut right where it will be possible to bend it, so where you need to change the taillight and look for the place where the carpet can be folded) disconnect the block of wires, which is indicated by a red arrow in the photo below, but take into account the fact that the block sits tightly and therefore be more careful with it, in addition, we recommend that you remove the minus terminal from the battery before disconnecting the block of wires, because you are working with electronics and if water gets on it and at the same time the battery will still supply voltage, then a short circuit will occur, in connection with which the wiring you have going to and the flashlight will become unusable (If you do not know how to remove the terminal from the battery, then read the article entitled: "Replacing the battery with a VAZ", in paragraph 1 everything is written).

2) Go ahead, as soon as the block is disconnected, take a wrench in your hands and use it to unscrew the four nuts that hold the taillight in place, in the photo below you see how two of the nuts are indicated by red arrows, the other two are on the other side and therefore you will immediately find them when you remove the headlight, by the way, after unscrewing all four nuts, remove the headlight from the car.

Note!
After removing the headlamp, there are several things that need to be checked (This is if you removed the headlamp to access any parts), namely the lamp holder, it is easy to remove it if you decide to replace it, for this squeeze the latch that is present on it (see. photo 1) and then remove it from the rear headlight (see photo 2), in addition, check the seal on the headlight (indicated by the red arrow), it is removed and if it is too worn out, then replace it with a new one!

Installation:
The new taillight is put in its place in the reverse order of removal, if you threw off the terminal from the battery a little earlier, then connect it in place and fix it with a wrench, after completing all operations, make sure that the new headlight is working by turning on the ignition and turning it on again light with turn signals.

Additional video clip:
You can still clearly see how the rear light is replaced on a VAZ 2115 car, on other cars of the Samara 2 family, the rear light is replaced in the same way, so watch the video clip located just below and delve into it, even if you have a different car (Not VAZ 2115 mean).

One of the most problematic places in domestic cars is the rear lights of the VAZ 2114. In most cases, the problem lies in poor-quality, unreliable tail light boards. As a result, over time, contact with incandescent lamps disappears or is lost.

Often the problem is solved by using brute force, by striking the body or base of the lamp. However, such actions do not completely eliminate the problem, there are periodic failures in the operation of the direction indicator, side lights or brake lights.

In order to make repairs, diagnose and eliminate problems that arise, you need to understand the device, the diagram of the rear lights of the VAZ 2114.
The rear light assembly consists of three main elements:
- back cover;
- boards with fasteners, connections for connecting light bulbs;
- external decorative cover, light diffuser.

Wiring diagram of components (lamps):
1. direction indicators;
2. overall glow;
3. signaling (brake lights);
4. fog lights;
5. designation of movement in reverse.

The most common causes of node failure are:

• the bottleneck in the entire structure is the elastic board;
• in second place, banal burnout or mechanical damage to light bulbs;
• the third is a problem with a fuse or relay;
• oxidation of contacts;
• broken wiring.

First of all, it makes sense to check those elements that do not require the entire headlight to be removed (for example, fuses, relays). After that, the quality of the connections, the presence of oxidations and the level of voltage supply to the illuminator are checked. The last step is to disassemble the taillight, remove and inspect the board.

In order to remove the rear lighting equipment you will need:
- key to "8";
- Convenient Phillips screwdriver.

All work consists of seven simple steps:

In order to get rid of the annoying VAZ sore with taillights, there are two solutions. The first is to periodically check, modify, repair or change the board. The second is to replace the two tail lights (complete) with more reliable, alternative products. There are several types of them on the auto market now.

Hello everyone. Today we'll talk about how to replace a taillight on a "tag" in case of damage or unpresentable appearance. All the work, as always, will be done independently, that is, at home.

I will not talk for a long time about why a taillight is needed and why it needs to be changed, I think this is already clear to everyone. Instead, I propose to go directly to the replacement process.

To replace, you only need one key for "8".

Step-by-step instructions on how to replace a VAZ 2115 taillight

1. The first step is to open the trunk.
2. Next, you need to bend the trim in order to approach the headlight.

3. Let's go further. Disconnect the headlamp power connector, for this it is enough to pull the block with the wires.

4. After that, pressing the latch-lock, we take out the cover on which the board and lamps are located.

5. Using the "8" wrench, unscrew the four nuts that secure the headlight to the body.

When the headlamp is holding nothing, it can be dismantled.

The old headlight has been dismantled, you can start installing a new one. The assembly is carried out in the reverse order. We install the headlamp in place and fasten it to the previously unscrewed nuts.

When replacement "stop" on the VAZ 2115 completed, you can collect the tool, wash your hands and check the work. That's all for me, thank you all, everyone is free ;-). Until next time at VAZ Repair. Till.

Friends, I welcome everyone who looked at my channel and thanks to everyone who subscribed! Thanks to your trust, there are more and more like-minded people on this channel, THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP! I decided to restore my headlights and taillights, made a homemade polishing paste, there was not a pleasant joint, but the good result was a pleasant surprise!

Why does the VAZ 2115 window regulator work poorly; DO THE WINDOWS DO NOT WORK NORMALLY?

How to remake a VAZ 2115 car.

So, the focus of our attention is on non-working or constantly burning out bulbs on the taillights. The fact is that the rear light boards for these cars were developed a very long time ago and have not changed since then. The board is a very thin tape with conductive lines. As a rule, car enthusiasts change them several times a year, along with a huge number of bulbs. However, new boards do not last long either, and after a while everything is repeated anew. Note that the owners of "Samar" hatchbacks have found a way out of the situation, they are buying Russian-made optics, produced under the name OSVAR. As for the VAZ-2115, they were left out in this regard. Trucks sometimes have a similar problem.

You can, of course, completely replace the optics with Chinese lanterns, but their quality, to put it mildly, leaves much to be desired, in addition, problems may arise when passing MOT. In fact, there is no need to invent anything new here, because everything has already been invented.

In this case, the owner of a particular "tag" decided to completely abandon the existing tape, instead he decided to use cartridges for each light bulb from the "penny". First, we dismantle the rear lights board, for this we need a flat screwdriver, with which we need to pull out the plastic cartridges and tape. On the standard rear optics, the "tag" uses double lamps for the brake light and dimensions, respectively, in a specialized store you also need to buy double holders for brake lights and dimensions, plus single holders for direction indicators.

In addition, you need to buy wires, connectors, lugs, bolts and nuts. Next, you need to make markings and drill holes for the cartridges. The metal element in the structure also needs to be modified: we take the pliers and bend it 180 degrees, displaying it for the tips at the stoplights and dimensions.

Once I was the proud owner of a VAZ 21099 car, and only then a VAZ 2115. Many owners of such cars, including myself, had a constant problem with heating the passenger compartment in winter! That is, the stove never warmed up properly (the air was always slightly warm before). The designers of VAZ did not want to solve this problem, and I had to find a surprisingly very simple way to modify the VAZ stove to eliminate the flaw!

For this we need 10 minutes of time, pliers, a flashlight, and a little patience!

In general, the essence of this process lies in the fact that you bend the cable going to the heater tap with pliers, which opens the main damper. The fact is that this same damper does not completely close the cold air supply and it turns out that the hot air coming from the heater radiator mixes a little with the cold winter air and it turns out that a weak warm breeze is blowing from our stove!

This cable, which we will pull with pliers, ends at the place where the driver's right leg is. With pliers, you simply bend this cable so that it pulls the air damper as much as possible, as if to the end, pressing it to its intended place.

Over time, any mechanism wears out. What needs to be done with the trunk lid of the VAZ 2115 if it has ceased to hold? Such a nuisance may appear within six months after purchasing a car. Torsion bars begin to click when the trunk is opened. And then the trunk lid of the VAZ 2115 simply does not hold. Replacing the hinge is a good solution to the problem. First, a new loop and paint are bought. It is necessary to degrease the surface and then paint. When replacing, it is recommended to remove the rear window. If the torsion bar bounces, it will not break it. Now the boot lid will open easily.

Also, if the trunk lid does not hold, then it is possible to remove the rear shelf and notice the displaced plates in which the rods are installed, working for twisting. They jump off the fixed place and do not create a twisting effect. Based on this, it is necessary to carefully remove the rods from the fixings by means of a steel tube, return the plates to the required position and tighten them securely. Return the rods to their initial position by means of the force lever of the steel tube.

To securely fix the cover, you will need a classic brake spring. But this method is good for a short time - the spring stretches quickly. Based on this, it is possible to put a shock absorber for the rear door of a VAZ 1117. To install it in the trunk of a VAZ 2115, you need: a shock absorber from "Kalina", self-tapping screws, a metal strip that is refueled under the upholstery. While the boot lid rises up, it rises gently, and does not fly up, as it was before.

Probably enough torsion bars with your own hands, along with this, it is not necessary to drill holes in the body, take a gas stop. Requires standard tools like wrench and screwdriver. Just two hours of time and you will have perfectly tightened trunk torsion bars, or new ones installed. You will need a protective board on the glass to remove the torsion bars. Every wooden board is suitable for this. You also need wooden blocks to fix the trunk in the upper position. It is now possible to replace the torsion bars normally. There is no need to remove the rear window or worry that the boot lid will fall at the most inopportune moment.
