Features of the operation of dimensions on the VAZ 2114
Being the ideological heir of the first generation, the “fourteenth” inherited from it many technological solutions, including external lighting devices. Thus, the dimensions on the VAZ 2114 are located in the corner areas of the body at the front and rear, which, according to technical regulations, are included in the general blocks of lamps and headlights.
At the same time, there are several features that should be noted when describing the side lights on the VAZ 2114:
- on/off is carried out by a button in the exterior light control module;
- when the lights are on, the switch is illuminated by a green indicator diode;
- The rear lights of the VAZ 2114, unlike the front ones, light up in red, in accordance with Russian road safety standards.
A dedicated fuse block is responsible for the correct operation of the side lamps on this Lada, which can be found in the engine compartment next to the engine. Accordingly, most often motorists who notice non-functioning dimensions on the left or right side of the car are faced with a failed fuse.
The easiest way to diagnose the failure of fuse F10, since it simultaneously acts as a warning lamp, whereas if a pair of dimensions on the left side of the car is not working, fuse F11 will most likely have to be replaced.
Causes of malfunctioning rear lights
Troubleshooting a situation with non-working side lights is the primary task of the car owner, as this not only creates a dangerous situation on the road, but also, in the end, is fraught with a fine from the traffic police.
To find out why the dimensions of the VAZ 2114 do not light up, you need to focus on three main factors:
- Burnt out lamp.
- Loose contact of the power wire.
- Broken wiring leading to the gauge.
The first case is the most common, and the problem is solved by simply replacing the light bulb, fortunately, they are sold everywhere and cost little money.
You can confirm the second reason without disassembling the device by simply tapping on the size: the moment you press it to the contact, the lamp will light up, and vice versa, it will go out in the free position. If disassembling the device did not reveal any oxidation with carbon deposits, a burnt-out lamp or a loose terminal, but the rear marker of the VAZ 2114 still does not light up, we can talk about faulty wiring.
Heated rear window, what is it for?
Rear window heating for any car will be appropriate not only in the cold season, but also during rain. The performance of this element is a guarantee of comfortable movement at any time of the year.

I own a Renault Megane 2, before that there were Citroens and Peugeots. I work in the service area of a dealership, so I know the car inside and out. You can always contact me for advice.
Replacing a broken light bulb
To repair the rear lights of a VAZ 2114, you need to follow a number of simple recommendations:
- turn off the vehicle's power supply;
- open the trunk, remove the decorative trim;
- Squeeze the latches and remove the contact panel of the entire flashlight;
- press down the faulty lamp and turn it counterclockwise to remove it.
Next, it is advisable to “ring” the lamp with a tester to make sure that it was its malfunction that was the cause of the problem, after which it should be replaced with a new analogue, and you can begin assembling the lamp in the reverse order.

| Possible causes of malfunction | Troubleshooting |
| Worn outer drive joint | Remove the drive and check the joint. If necessary, replace the hinge or drive assembly |
| Lack of lubrication in the joint | Inspect the case. Remove the drive and check the hinge. Apply sufficient new lubricant to the joint and replace the damaged joint cover. If there is play, replace the hinge or drive assembly |
| The intermediate bearing is severely worn | Remove the intermediate support bracket and check the play in the bearing. If necessary, replace the intermediate bearing |
Additional Tips
Sometimes VAZ 2114 owners are faced with the opposite situation, when the rear lights themselves work, but the indicator on the power button does not: this is almost always a sign of a faulty wiring in the interior panel. You can deal with the problem by removing the entire key block and thoroughly wiping its contacts.
In general, the side lights on this VAZ model should not often fail, since the contact pads for their fuses were specially increased in width in order to ensure a tight connection.
In addition, experts advise that in frequent breakdowns of dimensions there is a malfunction in the mounting block itself or its electrical circuit. Such a problem must be eliminated as soon as possible to eliminate the risk of a wiring fire.
Finally, you should pay attention to the tightness of the entire rear light unit and prevent moisture from getting inside, which can easily cause the lamp contacts to sour.

Dimensions do not work on VAZ 2114
According to these Rules of the Road, on any moving vehicle, including the VAZ-2114, the headlights must be turned on, along with which the side lights must also be turned on. In addition, they must be turned on when the car is stopped or parked on the road in the dark and in conditions of insufficient visibility. Therefore, they must always be in good working order.
The electrical circuit of the side lights of the VAZ-2114 is not so complicated and, if desired, any self-respecting driver will be able to find a malfunction associated with the failure of its operation. To do this, you need to know that terminal No. 1 of the side light switch is always supplied with positive voltage from the battery, bypassing the ignition switch. If the side light switch key is in the on position, then electric current flows to two fuses F10 (7.5A) and F11 (7.5A), which respectively protect the electrical circuits of the left (F10) and right (F11) side lights. The further path of the current lies to relay K4 (lamp health monitoring relay), and then to the front and rear side lamps.
Removal and installation of transmission Ford Focus 2 2005-2008
- Repair manuals
- Ford Focus 2 2005-2008
- Removing and installing the gearbox
The main malfunctions, to eliminate which it is necessary to remove the manual transmission from the car, are the following:
– increased (compared to usual) noise;
– difficult gear shifting;
– spontaneous shutdown or unclear gear shifting;
– oil leakage through seals and gaskets.
In addition, the gearbox is removed to replace the clutch, flywheel and engine crankshaft rear oil seal.
An automatic transmission is removed for almost the same reasons as a manual transmission, with the exception of the need to replace the clutch and flywheel, which are absent in this case. The methods for removing and installing manual and automatic transmissions are almost the same and are described using the example of a manual transmission. The difference lies in the size and number of transmission control drive cables, as well as in the presence of hydraulic hoses in the automatic transmission that connect the box to the cooling radiator.
| Useful tips The work of removing and installing the gearbox is very labor-intensive, so first make sure that its malfunctions are not caused by other reasons (insufficient oil level, defects in the clutch drive, loose gearbox, etc.). The gearbox is quite heavy and its shape is awkward to hold, so we recommend removing it with an assistant. |
You will need: keys “8”, “10”, “13”, “15”, a socket “13” with a ratchet, a screwdriver with a flat blade.
