He closed the ignition switch VAZ 2106. The ignition switch in a VAZ car: purpose, device, functions, repair and replacement

Ignition lock (ignition switch) on cars VAZ-2101, VAZ-2104, VAZ-2105, VAZ-2106, VAZ-2107, and if it’s easier to say in folk classics, they usually change in two cases. The first is the failure of the lock's secret. In this case, the key turns with difficulty, wedged and may simply refuse to turn. Means in the form of WD-40 or brake fluid usually give a temporary result. Therefore, the replacement of the ignition switch is inevitable. Second reason to replace burning contact group(photo 1). If the contacts on the chip are burnt, then it will be quite difficult to start the car, you can turn the key to the "start" position two, three, four times and still not hear the sound of the starter. To check, you can take the "control", connect one end of it to the negative terminal on the battery, and connect the other to the small terminal on the retractor relay or to the 50 wire connector. In order not to explain for a long time, we look at photo 1A. Next, we ask the assistant to turn the key all the way, at this time control lamp should light up If this did not happen, then we can conclude that there is no commands from the ignition switch - contact group. This, of course, is not a reason to change the entire lock, you can try to replace only the contact group. But, quite a few car owners decide to change everything in the assembly, justifying their decision with such arguments as - It's easier and I don't want to mess up! and Fear of buying a low-quality spare part (we read the contact group) and because of this, after a short period of time, we will again face the problem of starting the engine of our iron friend. And it's true, it's quite difficult to buy a good contact group on a Zhiguli - the choice is large, prices range from 5 to 25 hryvnias apiece and, as always, everyone is on sale, only branded parts)))! But, even if you decide to change only the contact group, then you still have to read the article in full, since to replace it you will still have to remove the ignition switch ...

And as usual. Tool: Phillips screwdriver, thin awl or small screwdriver. Yes, this is all the "special" tool that you need when replacing the ignition switch or contact group on VAZ-2101, VAZ-2104, VAZ-2105, VAZ-2106, VAZ-2107, Classic cars.

Manufacturer's choice ignition lock (ignition switch). I can advise to buy a production ignition lock DAAZ (Russia). It is checked and reliable, there are no complaints, and it’s easier to find it, unlike Avtoarmatura (I never found a lock from this manufacturer on Losk). According to the contact group, it is even worse here because of the huge number of fakes. So, we go to the market, ask for a Russian-made contact group and check it with a magnet (for the majority, the most affordable way not to be deceived), a good contact group should not be magnetized. I will not advise or criticize other manufacturers anymore. The main thing in this business is not to chase cheapness. And, as always, the choice is yours.

Now the most interesting. Description of replacing the ignition switch (ignition switch) or contact group on VAZ-2101, VAZ-2104, VAZ-2105, VAZ-2106, VAZ-2107, Classic cars:

1. Be sure to remove the negative terminal from the battery.

2. Turn the key to a horizontal position, position "0" (photo 2).

3. We unscrew 5 fixing screws of the plastic casing of the steering column (photo 3).

5. With a thin awl or screwdriver, press the latch and pull the lock towards you (photos 6 and 7).
6. Next, disconnect the wires or the chip with the wires from the lock. If you have the same chip as in the photo, then I can say for sure that this will facilitate your further work. Why? We read paragraph 9 and look at photo 10. You don’t have to do this))).

7. If you change the ignition switch, you can connect the wires and assemble everything in reverse order. If, however, you decide to replace the contact group, then further for you.
8. Using a screwdriver, pry off the retaining ring (photo 8) and remove contact group. We install a new part so that the groove on the contact group and the rod on the secret of the ignition lock coincide (photo 9).

9. After that, it remains only to correctly connect the wires to the ignition switch. Wiring diagram for the ignition switch VAZ 2101-2107- 50 - red (starter start), 15 - blue with a black stripe (ignition, stove, other devices when the ignition is turned on), 30/1 - brown, INT - black (power for dimensions and headlights), 30 - pink. Photo 10.

It is quite possible that when you try to replace the contact group of the ignition lock, you will encounter a small problem - the new contact group you bought in advance will have 6 contacts, and there will be 7 of these contacts on your lock. It seems like it turns out that one wire is superfluous))) . Congratulations, you are the owner of a VAZ 2105-2107 car with a 7-pin ignition switch that was installed on a car before 1986. In principle, the most correct option in your case is to buy a contact group with 7 contacts. You can still find them in the car market. But, if this is not possible, then only one thing remains - connect the two wires together (15/1 + 15/2) and connect them to terminal 15. And the extra wire will disappear)).

Everything, after it remains to put the ignition switch in place. Connect the terminal to the battery, start the engine and check if everything works .

Before you start any troubleshooting work on your car, you should prepare a certain set of tools. In the case of removing the ignition switch on the "six" we need:

  • screwdrivers - flat and cross-shaped;
  • awl.

However, the latter can be dispensed with. An awl can be perfectly replaced, for example, with a miniature screwdriver, or a thin long nail with a cross section of no more than 2 millimeters. One point should also be noted. Before proceeding with the disassembly of the ignition switch, it is recommended to disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. Many may argue that a voltage of 12 volts is practically safe for a person.

However, do not forget that in the process of work, you may well close the wires and disable any electrical equipment.

Accordingly, there will be additional, completely unnecessary problems.

Now we need to find 2 screws with which the ignition lock itself is attached. You will immediately notice them - at the bottom of the switch, on the left and right. There is very little left. In particular, you should disconnect the wires from the contacts of the ignition switch. Now we find a flat slot on the right, stick an awl into it, and then press the latch, applying a certain force. Next, pry the lock with a flat screwdriver and remove it from the bracket.

Pay attention to one point. The lock should be removed without any problems. If, despite the efforts made, he stubbornly does not want to leave the bracket, then you have not pressed the latch to the end. In this case, you should do one simple procedure. Press the awl on the latch, and at the same time move the key a little from side to side, just do not turn it.

Replacing the contact group and installing the ignition switch


As mentioned above, there are several reasons why you have to do this work. One of them is the burning of the contact group. In this case, the entire lock does not need to be changed. At the same time, replacing the contact group will not cause you much trouble. To remove it, take the spring ring. After that, the contact group simply drops out by itself. Now it remains only to put a new one in its place. This should be done in such a way that the groove on the contact group exactly matches the stem of the secret part. After making sure that the whole village is as it should be, we fix it with a spring ring.

The ignition lock connects and maintains many electrical circuits in the car. The operation of entire groups of voltage consumers depends on its serviceability. The device performs several important functions:

  1. Controls the operation of the ignition system;
  2. It is part of the anti-theft system;
  3. During towage of a disabled vehicle, it allows you to turn on the alarm.

The owners of the "six" are most often interested in the following issues related to the castle:

  • wiring diagram for the ignition switch on the VAZ 2106;
  • replacement of the ignition lock on the VAZ 2106;
  • how his contact group changes.

Let's consider these topics in order.

Ignition lock diagram

  1. Battery
  2. Starter
  3. Generator
  4. Relay in the mounting block
  5. Egnition lock
  6. Start relay

The wiring connected to the mechanism works according to the scheme:


There are four lock positions.

Zero position. With it, all electrical networks are turned off, except for two terminals, marked in the diagram in dark color.

First position. Power is supplied to the dimensions, windshield wipers, stove fan.

Second position. Additionally, the ignition system, indicators and buttons on the dashboard, turn signals and a starter receive power.

Third position. Only the dimensions, windshield wipers and horn continue to receive power.

The lock mechanism interacts with several electrical circuits that combine the vehicle's electrical appliances into a single circuit. When we turn the key, voltage from the negative terminal of the battery is supplied to the ignition coil.

Since the lock mechanism is regularly used by the driver, some of its elements wear out and fail. Sometimes it is enough just to splash WD-40 into the lock cylinder. However, the effect may not last long, and repair work will still be required in the near future.

The ignition lock is arranged as follows:


The simplest thing is to replace the faulty lock with a new one. The cost of this part for a VAZ 2106 car is low. You need to start the replacement with the process of removing the old mechanism.

How to remove the lock


  1. Be sure to remove the negative terminal from the battery. Some motorists do not do this, explaining this by low circuit voltage. However, if a wire short circuit occurs during repair work, this will lead to a malfunction of some electrical equipment.
  2. Turn the key to the zero position. This will make it easier to dismantle the device due to the fact that the holding shaft of the steering wheel will slightly go into the secret part.
  3. Remove the steering column cover. To do this, unscrew the five screws connecting the top and bottom of the casing. Pull the upper part of the casing up, acting very carefully. We remove and remove all the elements of the casing away.
  4. After removing the casing, unscrew the screws on which the lock itself is fixed. There are two of these screws, they are located below the switch.

  5. Disconnect the wires from the lock.

  6. In order not to break the latch during dismantling, we find a small gap on the left of the bracket. We insert an awl or a thin nail into it and press the latch.

  7. Use a slotted screwdriver to remove the mechanism from the bracket.

If the latch cannot be fully tightened, you need to turn the key slightly left and right at the same time, without turning it all the way. This will allow you to find a position in which the latch will be squeezed out completely, and the lock will easily come out. Please note that anti-theft can also interfere. She moves with the key. If you turn the key to the starter position, then it will take the most convenient position for removing the lock.

Another important tip: mark how the wires were connected. This will help not to confuse anything when installing a new device.

Replacing the contact group

Sometimes there is no need to completely change the lock mechanism. It is enough just to change the contact group.

It is located on the back of the mechanism. Attached to the body with a spring ring. You can try to remove it with your hands or with a screwdriver.

We're filming the group. It consists of two plastic rings that have built-in current-carrying tracks. There is a spring inside the ring.

Over time, carbon deposits form on these tracks, which leads to breakage. There is no point in messing with this soot. It's easier to buy a new group in the store. Its cost for the VAZ 2106 does not exceed 50 rubles.

Please note that there are different models. On some, the starter contact is attached so that when the key is turned, this contact bends. This leads to quick breakdowns. It is better to choose a model on which the contact is rigidly installed.

Installing a new part is easy. Alternately transfer the wires from the previous part, choosing the right contacts. Put the key in the zero position, turn the top of the group to the left until it stops and insert it into the lock. Make sure that the blade inside the body falls into a special groove. Snap and put on the spring ring.

Installing the ignition switch

After you have replaced the contact group or bought a new lock, you need to return it to its place. And you need to do it as correctly as possible. We offer the following sequence of actions that will help the ignition switch on the VAZ 2106 to be connected easily:


After all the work has been done, you can connect the negative terminal to the battery and check the operation of the mechanism. Do not forget that when the ignition switch is being replaced, the VAZ must be disconnected from the power supply.

Let's start with the fact that the ignition switch includes mechanical and electrical parts. The first part is made in the body of the device, and the second part is made separately from the terminal block. In use, failures are related equally to both parts of the ignition switch, with slightly more faults per terminal block in percentage terms.

Note that any work on the electrical part must be carried out provided that the negative terminal is removed. This is especially important if you need to check the operation of the consumer. Let us consider in more detail the failures in the mechanical and electrical parts.

Mechanical

Often, the failure of the ignition switch on the mechanical part is provoked by:

  • tight turning of the ignition key;
  • jamming in one of the positions. As a rule, such a malfunction leads to a break in the ignition key, which, in turn, requires additional waste for the purchase of a new part.

Basically, these problems arise due to poor assembly of the ignition switch from unscrupulous manufacturers. So that the product does not have to be changed often, you need to install a reliable and durable part.

Electrical part

Even if the mechanical part of the ignition switch is fully functional, the terminal block still often fails. You can always replace it, since a similar spare part is sold in any store for cars.

The terminal part often burns itself out or its contacts that connect certain power supply circuits burn out. It also happens that the central plastic insert melts, which opens and closes some contacts at different positions of the ignition key. This overheating provokes a long holding of the key in the “starter” position, when the driver cannot start the engine of his vehicle for a long time.

In such cases, it is necessary to buy a new terminal block, not the ignition switch.

It is very important that the connection remains unchanged. If you are replacing for the first time, you need to look at the bottom of the ignition switch and there draw the colors of the wire and the terminals to which they are connected. Each of them on the block has its own number, so it is very convenient to write down the color of the wire and the terminal number so as not to confuse anything.

How to connect wires: diagram

For connection with wires, the terminal block has the following conclusions:

  • "15";
  • "thirty";
  • "30/1";
  • "50";
  • "INT".

See also: How to change the steering column on the VAZ-2106

A blue cable must be installed on terminal "15", and it must be double. On “30/1” - a brown version, on “30” - pink, on “50” - red or purple, on the “INT” terminal - black and always double. Terminals "30" and "50" are responsible for starting the starter, which, if the lock fails, can be connected to start the motor in order to successfully reach the service station or auto parts store.

Typically, the box for the terminal block offers instructions that clearly explain how to connect the cables. Following exactly all the rules, you can independently perform this work, bypassing the appeal to the technical service. Those who find it difficult to understand the instructions will still have to turn to the masters so as not to harm their own car, since one wrong action can disable certain elements of the ignition system.

VAZ 2106 car and its ignition switch


Node for car ignition system

Sometimes, when operating a domestic VAZ car, the following situation arises: you get into the car, insert the key into the ignition, turn the key to position I, and the indicator lights on the dashboard do not light up. If you do not notice this and try to start the engine, the starter does not turn and does not even click. Experienced drivers in such cases immediately check the health of the lock.

The ignition lock of the VAZ classic consists of two parts: a mechanical (secret), into which the key is inserted, and a contact group, to which the wires are connected. The mechanical part is inseparable from the body, and in case of failure it is necessary to change the lock. The contact group is removable, it is inserted into the back of the device and fastened with a spring ring. Due to the simplicity of the design, the ignition switch of a VAZ 2106 car breaks down extremely rarely, almost as rarely as the engine or gearbox.

There is only one malfunction, due to which it may be necessary to replace the ignition switch of the VAZ classic assembly - a breakdown in the mechanism of the secret part. You can do the operation to replace the device with your own hands even in an open field in 10 minutes.

Removing a failed device

To remove the ignition lock VAZ 2106, the following tools are required:

  • plus screwdriver;
  • slotted screwdriver;
  • awl.

Replacing the ignition unit

In the absence of an awl, to dismantle the device, you can use a long thin nail with a section of 1.5-2 mm with a wide head or a screwdriver to unscrew small screws from the mobile phone case.

Before carrying out the main procedure, it is necessary to remove the negative terminal from the battery. Despite the fact that a current of 12 volts is practically harmless to the health of an adult, when removing the device, you can inadvertently short the wires, which, in turn, can lead to the failure of important electrical equipment in the car.

Step-by-step instruction:

  1. To begin, insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it 90 degrees to the "0" position. This is necessary so that the pin holding the steering shaft from turning enters the secret part a little and does not interfere with dismantling.
  2. Next, you need to remove the plastic casing of the steering column. To do this, sequentially unscrew the 5 screws connecting the lower and upper parts of the casing.
  3. Then carefully lift the upper part of the steering column cover and pull it up. After that, remove both parts of the casing to the side.
  4. Next, find and unscrew the screws that secure the device itself. There are two of them, they are located below the switch, on the right and left.
  5. Then unhook the wires from the ignition switch contacts.
  6. Next, find a flat slot on the bracket to the left of the device, stick an awl in there and press the latch with it with force.
  7. After that, you can remove the device from the bracket by prying it with a slotted screwdriver.

If, despite all the efforts made, the switch "refuses" to get out of the bracket, it means that the latch is not fully pressed. You need to press the latch with an awl, and then move the key a little to the left and right without turning it. The latch will shrink to the end, and all that remains is to pull out the switch.

Replacing the contact group and installing the ignition switch

Often the cause of a malfunction of the ignition switch is the burning of the contact group. Replacing the contact group is very easy. It is enough to remove the spring ring with a slotted screwdriver, and the contact group will fall out by itself. After that, you need to insert a new part into the body of the device so that the groove of the contact group fits exactly on the stem of the secret part, and fix it in the body of the device with a spring ring. After that, you can install the ignition switch in place.

Installation algorithm:

  1. First you need to insert the key into the lock and turn it to the "0" position.
  2. Press the latch and insert the switch into the bracket.
  3. Then you should connect the wires correctly.
  4. Install the casing on the steering column, fasten the upper and lower parts of the casing with screws.

Where to attach wires

The most difficult part of installing the switch is connecting the ignition switch to the wiring. Those owners of the VAZ 2106 are lucky, for whom the wires to the switch are connected through a special block. Such a block can be connected with closed eyes.

If your car does not have a special block, a color wiring diagram will help you connect the wires to the switch correctly.

The color of the arrows shown in the diagram corresponds to the color of the wires. It should be borne in mind that in the wiring of older cars, instead of a pink wire, there may be orange. Good luck with the repair!

Do-it-yourself installation of the ignition lock vaz 2106 with a photo

Like any car, the VAZ 2106 has strengths and weaknesses that are familiar to many motorists. Intensive operation, bad roads, harsh climate do their job slowly but surely. As they say, nothing lasts forever - parts wear out, one way or another they have to be changed. Many car owners prefer to do do-it-yourself repairs. And everyone has heard about the periodic breakdown of a small but very important part - the ignition switch. If your lock is faulty, then it will not hurt you to acquire such a useful skill as installing a VAZ 2106 ignition lock.


Zhiguli

No wonder they say: the new is the well-forgotten old. VAZ 2106 - the “six”, well known to everyone, has been one of the most popular and popular cars of domestic production since the days of the Soviet Union. Over the entire period of production of this model, more than 4.3 million cars were produced and assembled at different plants. A real workhorse, no wonder she still has a lot of admirers. Until now, lively “sixes” in large numbers plow the automobile expanses of the CIS countries and the near, as well as far, abroad. Of course, there is a hole in the old woman too.

The structure and purpose of the ignition switch

The ignition switch (lock) on all models of the "classic", including the "six", is absolutely similar in its device and design. Consider its device and principle of operation.

Ignition switch (lock) device:


Castle structure
  1. Locking rod
  2. Frame
  3. Roller
  4. contact disc
  5. contact sleeve
  6. Block
  7. Protrusion of the contact part.

The lock mechanism is connected to many wires. They continue from the battery, connecting all the electrical devices of the car into a single chain. When the ignition key is turned, the electrical circuit is closed from the "-" terminal of the battery to the ignition coil.

As a result, the current passes through the wires to the ignition switch, through its contacts it is directed to the induction coil, after which it returns back to the “+” terminal. As electricity passes through the coil, it generates a high voltage, which it transmits to the spark plug. Therefore, the key closes the contacts of the ignition circuit, thereby starting the car engine.

The ignition lock, like all spare parts, eventually requires repair or replacement. And any motorist can easily cope with this, having a minimum stock of necessary knowledge.

Removing the old ignition switch

Before installing a new lock, you need to make room for it by disconnecting the old one.

Tools and Precautions

To do this, we need a simple set of tools: a screwdriver and an awl.


Tools

Before starting work, do not forget about elementary safety rules - disconnect the battery (remove the negative terminal).


Disconnecting the battery

Removing the ignition switch

After preparing a safe workplace, we boldly get down to business.

Using a screwdriver, unscrew the 5 screws of the steering column cover. After that, remove the upper and lower casing elements. We unscrew the two screws on which the ignition switch is attached to the body.


Remove the cover

We insert the ignition key into the lock and turn it to the "off" (0) position to unlock the anti-theft system. To get the lock out of its seat, we find a small round hole in its left side.


Unlock

We take the awl and insert it into the hole, pressing the latch with it. At the same time, we take out the ignition lock, giving it with our hand towards ourselves.


We take out the lock

Disconnect the wires from the terminals. If the coil of wire ends with a chip, then this greatly simplifies the task. This means that you do not have to mark the wires or remember the scheme of their connection to the lock terminals for further connection. So, just disconnect the chip with wires.

Installing a new lock

The ignition lock is disconnected. Now we can start connecting a new one.

We connect the contact group of wires

If you are lucky enough to become the owner of a chip that closes the wires, then simply connect it to a new lock.


Chip connection

If there are no chips, then we connect each wire separately. We pick up the terminal block of the new ignition switch so that the only double terminal on it is on the right and is in a vertical position. The top compartment of the double terminal corresponds to the double black wire.


Color-coded wiring

Then we move counterclockwise. The next one to connect is a pink wire, followed by a double blue wire, then brown, and the last one is red. In addition, you can figure out the location of the wires on the terminal block using the digital marks that mark the block itself. Near each terminal there is a designation, consider the correspondence of the terminals to the colors of the wires:

  • 1NT - black double wire
  • 30 - pink wire
  • 15 - double blue wire
  • 30/1 - brown wire
  • 50 - red wire.

The lower part of the double terminal was left empty - as it should be. Contacts are connected.


Back of the castle

We install the lock in place and complete the work

Now it's time to fix the new lock in its original position - to the left of the steering wheel.

So, we insert the key into the lock and fix it in the “0” position. Then we take the lock and insert it into its original position, while “sinking” the side lock with your fingers. Now the lock is in place, respectively, we can tighten the fixing screws and install a decorative protective cover.

Checking the operation of the new lock

Installation work completed. Now you should make sure that everything in the car works as it should. First we connect the battery. If the system works correctly, when the key is set to the “0” position, all systems must be turned off. In the "I" position, power is supplied to the engine management system, alternator, headlights, signal lamps, windshield washers and wipers, power windows and control devices.

In position "II" voltage is applied to the same systems, and, in addition, the starter is started. When the lock is working properly, the locking rod of the anti-theft mechanism will extend and retract when the key is moved from the “0” (disabled) position to the “I” position and back.

As you can see, nothing supernatural - you can replace the ignition switch yourself, without asking for help from a car service workshop. The main thing is a little patience, knowledge, and you will master a simple car repair. And the "six" will please you with its faithful service for a long time to come. Good luck on the roads!

In "classic" VAZ cars, the engine is started using a starter. To close the contacts on the latter, an ignition switch is used. Due to this design, it is possible to provide a certain degree of safety of the vehicle from theft.

If wear or breakdown of the assembly has occurred, then the connection of the VAZ-2106 ignition switch can be carried out independently in garage conditions. To work, you will need a small arsenal of tools and a purchased new lock.

For some motorists, the node located under the steering column and associated with the ignition may seem insignificant. However, the possibility of starting the engine and connecting on-board electrical consumers depends on its performance. If you do not pay attention to the state of the "secret" or key, then at some point the driver will not even be able to leave the garage.

The design of the assembly in some vehicles may vary slightly. But it always contains the following elements:

  • contact disc and bushing;
  • metal protective case;
  • steering wheel fixing pin;
  • sleeve;
  • axial shaft;
  • terminal block for contacts.

One of the important parts of the car's electrical system is the VAZ-2106 ignition switch, the wiring diagram proves this. When the key is turned in the larva, the simultaneous connection / disconnection of various cables suitable for the block is carried out. The circuit is closed from the battery ground to the starter coil, and then the voltage is connected to the positive battery terminal.

Wiring diagram used

The ignition unit collects many cable ends into a single connector. Due to its versatility, it is used on different VAZ models. If there is no damage to the cable insulation or open circuits during the wiring, then the connector should cope with its task of switching operating modes.

If there is a need for a piece-by-piece connection of wires, then we recommend using this connection scheme, which uses the standard marking of each contact with a numerical or alphabetic code:

  • "50" - red cable (used for contact with the starter);
  • "30" - pink color of the wire;
  • "30/1" - brown wire;
  • "15" - blue cable with a black stripe (responsible for warming up the car inside, ignition, etc.);
  • "INT" - a wire with black insulation supplies voltage to the sidelights and head light.

Power supplies are involved in the electrical circuit. One of them is a battery, and the second is a generator that connects after starting the engine.

What is a castle

The node that starts power to electrical appliances and gives voltage to the starter is a cylinder. It has a core mechanical part and an end electrical part, on which the contacts are located.

It is important to know that the lock installed in the VAZ 2106 in the steering column helps to block the rotation of the steering wheel.

Process control is carried out by means of a simple kinematic chain. The driver inserts the key into the "secret", and the larva is connected on the output side through a leash with a block of contacts. Each position allows you to set one of the operating modes.

Turning the key to turn it on is clockwise. To make a withdrawal, it is necessary to rotate in the opposite direction. The driver will not be able to safely and legally start the engine at a zero position and an empty “secret”.

Larva and contact group

The individual shape of the key with the features of its relief allows you to provide an additional level of security to the vehicle. An attempt to hijack someone else's key will be obviously unsuccessful. When replacing the larva, the keys will also have to be changed.

The contact group with the pinout of the ignition lock VAZ-2106 is a flat washer, one of the ends of which is studded with several vertically inserted contacts. These conductive elements are fixed. The moving part is located on the inside of the washer. After changing its position, any contacts are closed, which ensures the supply of voltage to electrical appliances.

Conclusion

If even minor ignition problems occur, it is worth replacing the entire assembly. This will ensure timely start of the engine and devices connected to the on-board network.
