Replacing fuses
Before replacing an element, it is necessary to eliminate the cause of its failure.
Do not use fuses of a different rating. The calculated current strength for each circuit can be found in the assignment table located above in the article. The protective device may fail due to long periods of use, so if any consumer stops working, the first thing to check is its fuse.
They are held in their nests by sliding contacts. In order to remove the element, simply pull it out of the socket. To make this more convenient, modern mounting blocks are equipped with plastic tweezers.
A faulty fuse can be determined by visual inspection or using an ohmmeter. Since the housings are made of transparent plastic, the integrity of the conductor is easy to determine with the naked eye. In addition, conductor burnout is accompanied by an increase in temperature. Traces of heat exposure remain on the plastic case. Having selected an element suitable for its nominal value, it is inserted into the socket in place of the failed one.
If a fuse burns out on the road, you can replace it with an identical one that protects the circuit of the consumer that is not currently in use.

Replacing the alternator belt
233747 turn relay connection diagram
To change the Chevrolet Niva alternator belt, you need to use the following tools:
In a Chevrolet Niva car, replacing the alternator belt is as follows:
- You need to remove the connector from the crankshaft position sensor.
- Unscrew and remove the bolt that secures the sensor.
- The nut securing the generator needs to be loosened slightly and moved towards the block. If the generator is displaced, its belt will loosen and can be removed without problems.
- Using a jack installed on the side where the generator is located, raise the car by engaging first gear.
- Pull the belt until it moves away from the pump pulley. Rotate the wheel so that the place of the guy moves onto the pulley.
- Then remove the belt from the other pulleys.
- The new one must first be put on the generator pulley and the crankshaft pulley, and only then put on the pump pulley.
- Turn the wheel until the belt is on the pulley.
- Put the generator in place, and tighten the belt, attach it to the bracket with a nut.
- Replace the crankshaft position sensor.
The process of replacing the alternator belt is complete.

The symptomatology of the malfunction has its own characteristics and differs from the burning of an incandescent lamp or damage to the circuit. Thus, if the problem is in the relay, then when turning the switch the driver will see one of the following manifestations:
- The indicator does not light up, the turn signals are off;
- The dashboard indicator and turn signals are constantly on;
- When the relay operates, an uncharacteristic crack (clicks) occurs;
- Within a short time there is a change in the pace of functioning;
- Different response rate compared to alarm.

Location and electrical diagram
Installation and repair of turn relay for VAZ 2106
The fuse block (hereinafter referred to as the fuse block), unlike traditional models of the domestic automobile industry, is located in the vehicle interior. In particular, it is located on the driver's side under the steering wheel. If any electrical circuit element in a car stops working (lamps, interior lights, heater, power windows), then car owners first check the power supply elements. As a rule, the problem is resolved by replacing the fuse.
What does the power supply circuit itself look like? This question may be of interest to Niva owners. Below we will look at the electrical circuit of the unit with a description of all the components responsible for the operation of certain devices in the car.
In accordance with the diagram, we will consider the meaning of the BP elements. This electrical circuit is universal for all Niva cars.
Fuse number | Purpose |
1 | This block component ensures the functionality of the following elements:
|
2 | This circuit fuse provides:
turning on the turn signal lamps; turning on the windshield wiper motor; functioning of the carburetor damper lamps, engine fluid pressure, hand brake, brake fluid level; functioning of the engine temperature sensor; operability of the gasoline level sensor in the tank. |
3,4 | These elements ensure the functionality of the high beam headlights. |
5,6 | These elements ensure the operation of low beam lamps. |
7 | Responsible for the operation of the instrument panel illumination lamps, license plate, and side lights. |
8 | It is also responsible for the operation of the side lights, interior light bulbs and the operation of the cigarette lighter. |
9 | Responsible for the operation of the turn signal lamps and the operation of the emergency lights. |
10 | The fuse of the electrical circuit is responsible for the steering horn, the power socket, and the inclusion of the brake lights. |
12 | Responsible for turning on the rear fog lights, as well as for the functioning of their cleaner motor. |
16 | Ensures the functionality of the cigarette lighter. |
It should also be noted that in VAZ 21214 injector cars there is another power supply unit with injection system components. It is located separately from the main power supply on the left side under the steering wheel.
Number | Purpose |
1 | This element ensures uninterrupted operation of the cooling fans. |
2 | Ensures uninterrupted operation of the electric fuel pump. |
3 | Ensures the operation of the control unit |
4 Ensures the operation of the main relay of the injection system.
In the case of the first described power supply unit, if the elements of the device begin to fail, this will in no way threaten the performance of the car, of course, with the exception of breakdowns of some components. However, in the case of the second power supply, if at least one component shorts out and does not work, the VAZ 21214 injector engine will not start.
Replacing the power supply with your own hands
Below we will look at the process of replacing the power supply with your own hands. To replace, you will need a new power supply and a socket head set to “8”.
- First, open the hood and disconnect the battery.
- Now, under the instrument panel, find your power supplies. Using an “8” socket wrench, unscrew the two main nuts.
- Having done this, pry up the power supply and remove them from the studs.
- If you are replacing an old component with a new one, you must mark all the wires before doing so. Or take a new power supply unit and insert the wires from the old unit into it one by one. To remove the idle wires, pull them by their plugs.
To check the functionality of the new power supply, reconnect the battery.
This completes the process of replacing the power supply.
Note! There is a lot of advice on the Internet on what to do if one of the PSU components fails. In particular, some car owners make mistakes that can subsequently negatively affect the operation of the electrical wiring as a whole.
When a fuse fails, some drivers simply take a regular wire and bend it, inserting both ends into the power supply in place of the broken component.
They claim that there is nothing wrong with this and that it is possible to travel like this temporarily. Please note that such homemade solutions can not only negatively affect the operation of the power supply, but also the entire electrical circuit as a whole. One short circuit can not only damage the power supply itself, but also provoke a fire, and, accordingly, a fire.

Deciphering the fuse symbols and replacing the block on a Chevrolet Niva
The Traffic Rules in force in Russia clearly state that when making maneuvers, it is necessary to turn on the direction indicators, and in their absence, indicate the direction of movement with your hand. However, now most cars and motorcycles are equipped with turn signals, so you rarely need to use your hands to indicate the direction of travel.
When turned on, the direction indicators flash, that is, they light up and go out at certain intervals, so they attract the attention of other road users, and it is quite difficult not to notice the turn signal being turned on. The blinking of direction indicators also serves another role - it does not allow drivers to confuse their activation with the activation of brake lights or the activation of side lights.
Periodic turning on and off (that is, the same blinking) of the direction indicator lamps is realized using a simple device that is part of the vehicle's electrical system - a turn relay, which is often simply called a breaker or breaker relay.
The breaker relay included in the turn signal circuit performs three functions at once:
- Supplying electric current to the direction indicator lamps (that is, turning on the “turn signals”);
- Ensuring intermittent operation of the direction indicator lamps (their blinking);
- Creation of characteristic clicks, signaling to the driver of the car that the direction indicators are working.
In cars of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant of various generations and models, several types of turn relays are used, which have different operating principles and characteristics.

If any electrical circuit fails, the first thing you need to do is check the condition of the fuses and relays. This simple operation can be performed independently. The driver needs to know where the Niva Chevrolet fuse box is located and the purpose of the fuse links installed in it.
To protect electrical circuits on cars, fuses are used, located in a special mounting block. On a Chevrolet Niva VAZ 2123, this block is located inside the instrument panel, to the left of the plastic steering column cover.
In addition to the main unit, the Chevrolet Niva has an additional unit that is responsible for the operation of the car’s engine. This safety element is located in the passenger compartment and is located on the right side of the instrument panel behind the glove box.
The placement of blocks in the cabin is the same for cars of all years of manufacture.
The main blocks of machines are divided into two types - before 2009 and after. These devices are not interchangeable. The blocks behind the glove box are identical in design.
On a 2005 car, you can easily install a block from a 2011 car. The designation of the fuse rating is marked on the body; on the assembly itself there is a number of the fuse link and a pictogram of the purpose.
There are no fuse markings on the main unit cover.
If any electrical circuit in the vehicle fails, the condition of the fuse must be checked.
If it is necessary to replace parts, it should be taken into account that the VAZ 21214 fuses on the Niva injector belong to two different types:
- in the main block there are cylindrical inserts (inherited from the Zhiguli);
- and in the injection system blocks - modern, knife type.
Also interesting: Review of the standard Niva Chevrolet alarm system
Therefore, when you go on a trip, you need to take with you spare inserts of different types.
If, for example, a cigarette lighter fails on the road, you must:
- Turn off the ignition.
- Open the cover of the additional unit.
- Visually check the condition of the PR14 16 ampere fuse, which is responsible for the cigarette lighter circuit.
- Remove the burnt insert with your fingers and replace it with a spare one taken from the reserve socket PR15. It is prohibited to use homemade inserts, as they are not able to protect the circuit from overloads. The consequence of this may be overheating of the elements and fire.
- Check the functionality of the circuit. If the insert immediately burns out again, then the reason lies in damage to the wiring, which must be carefully checked.
The remaining fuses and relays on the VAZ 21214 are changed using a similar scheme.
In case of burnout or mechanical damage, it is necessary to repair the unit by replacing its components or the entire assembly.
To replace the main unit, follow these steps:
- Disconnect the battery from the on-board network.
- Remove the box cover and unscrew the two 8 mm nuts securing the block. Then you need to pull the box towards you and remove it from the fastening studs.
- Write down the markings and position of the wires on the old unit.
- Disconnect the cables from the plugs of the old unit and connect them in the same sequence on the new one.
- Check fuse ratings and wire installation.
- Secure the replaced block with nuts.
- Connect power to the on-board network and check the functionality of the circuits.
The photo shows some stages of dismantling the block.

Disconnecting the wiring plugs
Other fuse or relay blocks on the VAZ 21214 are replaced in the same way.
Below we will look at the process of replacing the power supply with your own hands. To replace, you will need a new power supply and a socket head set to “8”.
- First, open the hood and disconnect the battery.
- Now, under the instrument panel, find your power supplies. Using an “8” socket wrench, unscrew the two main nuts.
- Having done this, pry up the power supply and remove them from the studs.
- If you are replacing an old component with a new one, you must mark all the wires before doing so. Or take a new power supply unit and insert the wires from the old unit into it one by one. To remove the idle wires, pull them by their plugs.
- To check the functionality of the new power supply, reconnect the battery.
In addition to the main unit, the Chevrolet Niva has an additional unit that is responsible for the operation of the car’s engine. This safety element is located in the passenger compartment and is located on the right side of the instrument panel behind the glove box.
The placement of blocks in the cabin is the same for cars of all years of manufacture.
On a 2005 car, you can easily install a block from a 2011 car. The designation of the fuse rating is marked on the body; on the assembly itself there is a number of the fuse link and a pictogram of the purpose.
There are no fuse markings on the main unit cover.
The principle of operation of any standard relay in a car is the closure or switching of two contacts on a power electrical circuit using an electromagnetic field. Closing the contacts directly through the switch will require the use of thick wires and will lead to a voltage drop in the entire on-board network.
A typical fuel pump relay 75.3777-10 has 4 contacts, a coil with an armature, and a spring for opening the contact. When voltage is applied to the control contacts, the rod is drawn into the winding and another pair of contacts is closed. It turns off automatically as soon as the low-current connectors are de-energized.
Advantages of using relays in Niva Chevrolet cars:
- spontaneous leakage current in the on-board system is eliminated;
- reliable control of all electric motors;
- quick and guaranteed start of electrical mechanisms;
- Network overload protection.
The fuel pump relay has appeared on cars of the Chevrolet Niva family since 2003, when an injection engine was installed. The engines of the VAZ 21213 family are equipped with a carburetor and do not have a relay in the fuel supply system.
Electrical fuses on cars are changed if they blow out, without fail observing their rating. But other situations also happen on a VAZ 2121 Niva. For example, many motorists complain that sometimes electrical fuses simply fall out of the block. That is why it is recommended to replace the old unit with a new one, in which the safety elements hold up much better.
Note. Keep in mind that the location and purpose of fuses has changed and continues to change, depending on the year of manufacture and modification of the car. This page presents several options, be careful!
Most fuses are located in blocks located in the passenger compartment under the instrument panel, to the left of the steering column. The fuses are installed in two blocks side by side, they are connected to each other (Fig. 44) and are held in them by spring contacts. There are ten fuses in the upper block and six fuses in the lower block. The circuits they protect are listed in Table 3.
If the fuse fails again, contact your LADA dealer to find out and eliminate the reasons that caused it to melt.
It is unacceptable to install a homemade jumper or a fuse of a different rating to replace the blown one.
Fuses do not protect the electrical circuits of ignition, engine start, generator (except for the field winding), low beam headlight relay, high beam headlight relay.
Additional fuse and relay blocks
On vehicles with an ECM, a block (Fig. 45) with four fuses is additionally installed on the left side of the front end under the instrument panel, which protect the elements of the injection systems. (to the right of them is the diagnostic connector) A faulty fuse is determined by the failed circuits that it protects, in accordance with Table 4.
Engine control system relay block (under the main block): 1 - ignition relay; 2 - main relay; 3 — right electric fan relay; 4 — left electric fan relay; 5 - fuel pump relay; 6 - fuel pump fuse (F5, 15 A)
Relay block under the instrument panel, above the gas pedal: 1 - rear fog light relay; 2 - relay for turning on the heated glass of the luggage compartment door; 3 — low beam headlight relay; 4 - high beam headlight relay
Fuses Niva 21214 injector - Selection Auto 163
Where are the blocks and relays located in Niva 21214 and 21213
The main power supply in these models is located under the lower edge of the instrument panel protection. Additional fuses in Niva 21214 for the injector are located to the left. This block is responsible for controlling fuel injection. There are also relays for monitoring the operation of the wipers and a set responsible for the motion control system.
Another fuse box is installed in the body to the left of the main one. They are responsible for the cooling system and how the engine works. There is also a diagnostic connector. The relay that controls the starter is located either next to the main power supply, or under the hood next to the brake fluid reservoir.
Designations of fuses and their purpose
Each of the fuses (FC) is responsible for a separate element of the vehicle's electrical circuit. In the main block, the numbering goes from left to right. There are 16 elements in total: 10 in the top row and 6 in the bottom.
Description of the upper section:
- Rear wiper motor, fluid supply to the front window, heater fan motor.
- Turn signals, reverse indicator, switches under the steering wheel, instrument panel and indicator lights.
- High beam (left headlight), indicator on the dashboard for turning on the high beam.
- High beam (right headlight).
- Low beam (left headlight).
- Low beam (right headlight).
- Dimensions (left side), license plate lighting, indicators on the instrument panel for turning on the dimensions.
Dimensions (right side), instrument panel lighting. Hazard signal relay and power button, heated rear window. Brake lights, interior lighting, horn.
All fuses except the first have a rated current of 8A (PR1 - 16A). The bottom row is responsible for the following:
- Storage of 8A inserts
- Similar to the previous one.
- Rear fog lights.
- Cigarette lighter.
- Storage of 16A insert.
- Same for 8A.
The next power supply is responsible for the operation of the engine. The fuse diagram for Niva 21213 assumes 5 positions, and VAZ 21214 with an installed ABS system - 7 (positions 5-7 are responsible for it). The circuit without ABS looks like this:
- Start the electric fan motor on the right (30A).
- A similar position for the left side.
- Injection system control, injection nozzles, ignition coil, fan relay (15A).
- System for reducing the toxic component of gases, sensor of air supplied to the internal combustion engine (15A).
- Connector for diagnosing the operation of the injection system.
Relay blocks
The location of these blocks should be clarified according to the vehicle documentation. Also, some car enthusiasts sometimes tolerate them. Therefore, when buying a used car, it is better to check about possible changes. Engine control system unit from left to right:
- Ignition.
- Engine starting system.
- Right radiator fan.
- Similar left fan.
- Fuel pump operation.
- PR power supply for the fuel pump (15A).
The last key relay block, located above the gas pedal, is responsible for the lighting and heated rear window.

When replacing the entire unit, it is important to write down the location and markings of the wires on the old one. The fuses themselves can be changed without any problems.
The main thing is to remove the terminals from the battery to avoid electric shock.
It is important to pay attention - if a new fuse burns out immediately after installation and performance testing, then the wiring of a specific circuit is damaged

It is located on the left side of the body, under the instrument panel, next to the diagnostic block. Consists of four fuses:
F1 (30A) | Right electric fan relay contacts |
F2 (30A) | Left electric fan relay contacts |
F3 (15A) | Relay windings of the right and left electric fans, controller, injectors, ignition coil |

Reasons for failure
As a rule, frequent relay breakdowns are explained by the low quality of components, both supplied from the factory and those still alive “cooperatives”. You can only combat this by choosing carefully or having a handful of other replacement parts. Repair is impractical due to the cheap cost, although there are examples of restoration “for fun.” The only difficulty is access to the place where the Niva turn signal relay is located; changing it is a matter of 2 minutes.
Another reason that can kill the breaker is increased voltage in the on-board network as a result of failure of the generator components and the voltage relay regulator. A short circuit is also possible. In any case, the circuit is examined, starting with a simple one - the state of the fuses.
The symptoms of the malfunction have characteristic features and are distinguishable from a burnt-out incandescent lamp or circuit damage. So, if the problem is in the relay, then the driver will see one of the following manifestations when turning on the turn switch:
- The indicator lamp does not light up, the turn signals are extinguished;
- The indicator on the dashboard and the turn signals are constantly on;
- There is an uncharacteristic crackling sound (clicking) when the relay operates;
- There is a change in the pace of functioning within a short time;
- Different response frequency compared to alarm.
Turn signals and hazard lights do not work
After being parked for 4 days, I came to pick up the car, it started and drove as usual, but it turned out that the turn signals and emergency lights were not working - the lights were not on, the arrows on the panel were not blinking. Everything else is completely normal. Checked the fuses - OK. The light bulbs are all OK, and they couldn’t burn out all 8 at once. I listened in silence - when turning on the turn - to quiet frequent clicks from the turn signal + hazard warning light relay.
I pulled out this relay, checked it at home without a load, without light bulbs - I applied 12 V where needed - the emergency lights click as expected, the turn signals - often, twice as often as usual, because... without load. From this I conclude that the relay is also in order.
I rang the connector block as written in the Prius wiring diagram - everything is also like in the book, it rings as it should.
But when I put everything together, it doesn’t work! Again light frequent clicks of the relay and then silence.
What could it be, what did the dog rummage through, give me some ideas. And now I can’t even come to the service center.

Fuse box in Niva Chevrolet
There are two main types of turn relays used in VAZ cars:
- Classic electromagnetic-thermal relays;
- Modern electronic relays.
The operation of these relays is based on various physical principles, which will be discussed in more detail below. Here we will talk about the applicability and installation features of different types of relays.
Electromagnetic-thermal turn relays were installed on early VAZ “Classic” models: 2101, 2102 and 2103. Several models of this type of relay were produced and are still being produced; today the RS series relays are most used: RS491M, RS491B, RS57, RS950 and others. These relays are often called “barrel” due to their external design.
Electronic relays began to be installed on VAZ cars, starting with model 2104, and today all current Lada models are equipped with this type of relay. Quite a few models of electronic relays are produced, the most widely used are turn relays 23.3747, 231.3747, 494.3747, 6422.3747 (all installed on models 2104 - 2107), 26.3747, 49.3777, 491.3747, 495.3747 and 712.
Also today, electronic turn relays are produced for VAZ-2101 - 2103 cars, which can be installed without modifications instead of the standard electromagnetic-thermal ones. The most widely used relay is type 71.3777, however, Kopeyki can also use some of the relay models described above.
The installation location of the turn signal relay depends on the car model. So, on Zhiguli 2101 - 2106 the relay is mounted directly under the front instrument panel (the ignition relay is also installed there in some models), so it is well protected, and its clicks are clearly audible in any conditions. In later models, the turn relay “migrated” to the relay and fuse mounting block. You need to know the location of the relay, as this can greatly facilitate its replacement in the event of a breakdown.

We hope that this information was useful to you if you encounter problems with the electrical equipment of NIVA. We will be glad to see you in the Niva owners club on our forum.
Any car is equipped with fuse blocks (FBs), which are responsible for the safety of electrical circuits. Their location differs not only depending on the make of the car. Even models from the same manufacturer that are close in year of production can be placed in different patterns. However, in some cases the location may coincide completely.
The main power supply in these models is located under the lower edge of the instrument panel protection. Additional fuses in Niva 21214 for the injector are located to the left. This block is responsible for controlling fuel injection. There are also relays for monitoring the operation of the wipers and a set responsible for the motion control system.
Another fuse box is installed in the body to the left of the main one. They are responsible for the cooling system and how the engine works. There is also a diagnostic connector. The relay that controls the starter is located either next to the main power supply, or under the hood next to the brake fluid reservoir.
Car owners are well aware that the VAZ 21214, 21213 (Niva) fuse box is a critical detail that requires detailed study. Knowledge of the electrical circuit allows you to avoid many problems and carry out timely diagnosis of breakdowns. Since the family has existed for many decades, it has managed to go through a number of radical changes - the transition from carburetor to injection engines, for example. This did not entail a radical change in the location and content of the mounting blocks, of which there are two in the cabin and one under the hood.

The Niva with fuel injection has today almost completely replaced the carburetor models of the family. With the transition to a new injection system, the manufacturer tried to minimize the inconvenience for the car owner and not radically change the location of the mounting blocks, as well as their filling with protective elements. Traditionally, there are two of them in the cabin. Another one, in the back, is responsible for controlling the engine.
Modern AvtoVAZ SUVs use injection power units. If a malfunction is detected in the electrical equipment of the car, you should first check the serviceability of the fuses and relays. Next, we will show where the mounting block is located (fuse box or black box), as well as the location of the elements inside it.
1 — engine control system fuse box; 2 — windshield wiper relay; 3 — fuse blocks; 4 — relay block of the engine control system.
The fourth relay block is located above the gas pedal.

The block contains one “Maxi” size fuse and two “Standard” size fuses, which are designed to protect the circuits of the hydraulic unit of the anti-lock braking system. The ratings and purpose of the fuses are shown in Table 7:
Attention! The relay and fuse diagram may differ depending on the configuration and production date of the vehicle. Current diagrams of the mounting block are presented in the operating manual for the date of manufacture of the vehicle (download from
site for 3dv. or 5door).
Why does a fuse or light relay or any other constantly blow out? Before replacing it with a similar one, you must first find and eliminate the cause of its burnout. This could be a short circuit, incorrectly selected rated current, etc. Use electrical circuit diagrams to troubleshoot problems. Questions on this topic can be asked on the forum.
Chevrolet Niva fuses with a description of the block diagrams. Niva cigarette lighter fuse.
To get to the fuses, you need to open the cover.
To do this, you need to unscrew 2 screws with a screwdriver. Relay and fuse block: Please note that in the schematic diagram of the block, two rows of fuses are located at the bottom, and the relay is at the top. Under the panel cover, the fuses will be located opposite the top, so do not confuse the numbering. If you notice a discrepancy in the numbering of fuses or relays, then you have a different Chevrolet Niva model, newer or older, in this case, find the corresponding diagram and troubleshoot according to.
K1 - Relay for monitoring the health of lamps. K2 - Windshield wiper relay. If they are working properly, the problem may be in the wiper motor, its brushes, mechanism and gears, as well as in the interior switch and its contacts.
K3 - Relay interrupter for direction indicators and hazard warning lights. If the turn signals do not work, check fuses F16, F19 and this relay. Also check the contact of the wire going to ground. Located to the left of the fuse box, in order to replace the turn signal relay on a Chevrolet Niva, you need to remove the mounting block panel to gain access.
Where is the Chevrolet Niva turn signal relay located?
Another issue could be the steering column switch, its contacts and connector. K4 - Low beam headlight relay. If the low beam in one of the headlights does not work, check fuses F2 and F12, as well as the lamps in the headlights themselves. If both low beam headlights do not work, check this relay, as well as the light switch and its contacts.
Replacing the turn relay on a Chevrolet Niva Also note that the low beam headlights only work when the ignition is on. K5 - High beam headlight relay. If the high beam in one of the headlights does not work, check fuses F3 and F13, as well as the lamps themselves. If both high beam headlights do not work, check this relay, as well as the steering column switch and its contacts. K6 - Additional relay. If you have problems turning on the ignition, check this relay, as well as the contacts in the ignition switch and the contact group.
Reasons for refusal
As a rule, frequent relay failure is due to the poor quality of components, both those supplied from the factory and those still alive "cooperatives". Combating this can only be done by cautiously approaching the selection or having a few other spare parts. Repairs on a dime are not recommended, although there are examples of restorations “just for fun.” The only difficulty is accessing the place where the relay turns the Niva, change it. it's 2 minutes.
Another reason that can kill the switch is increased voltage in the on-board network as a result of failure of the generator components and the voltage regulator relay. Closing is also possible. In any case, the chain is scanned, starting with a simple one. fuse condition.
Replacement method
For operations you need:
- Key head to “10” (preferably with a ratchet mechanism);
- Plastic puller or similar device;
- Pliers;
- Phillips screwdriver.
1. Take a screwdriver and loosen the instrument panel valve from the two self-tapping screws.
2. Carefully apply the shield to yourself, overcoming the resistance of the pair of latches at the top of the part.
3. Unscrew the dashboard using the “10” key.
4. Slowly dismantle the instrument cluster, while at the same time getting rid of the union nut of the flexible speedometer drive shaft using pliers.
5. Disconnect the wires by removing the two gaskets.
After establishing the place where the relay turns to the Niva, unscrew the nut to “10”, by the way, disconnect the 3 wires from the “ground” from the stud. Pull the device towards you and then, using a slight swing, pull the shoe out. Replace the switch with a new one as shown in the photo.
The assembly process is performed in reverse order. The criterion for performance is the rhythmic flashing of signals after activation of the gear lever or alarm button. A small deviation in operating speed from the 2121 conveyor is considered acceptable.
Chevrolet Niva
: fuses and relay box
Each car has electrical circuits in its design that power certain electrical devices. Chevrolet Niva is no exception and is also packed with electronics. From time to time, electrical devices malfunction and require troubleshooting. The first elements to be inspected and repaired are fuses. In addition to the fuses, it is also worth inspecting the serviceability of the relay. Thus, today’s article is devoted to such important elements of the Chevrolet Niva electrical circuit as the fuse and relay box.
If there is a malfunction of one or another device in the car, then first of all it is worth looking for the cause of the breakdown in the protective fuse block. These elements are designed to protect important devices from various factors: short circuits, increased current. Let's look at what protective mechanisms are available in Shevik and what they are responsible for, but first we should figure out where to find this fuse and relay box.
VAZ Niva fuse diagram for injector
The Niva with fuel injection has today almost completely replaced the carburetor models of the family. With the transition to a new injection system, the manufacturer tried to minimize the inconvenience for the car owner and not radically change the location of the mounting blocks, as well as their filling with protective elements. Traditionally, there are two of them in the cabin. Another one, in the back, is responsible for controlling the engine.
