What to do if the cigarette lighter does not work on the “Classic” - VAZ 2107

Previously, a cigarette lighter was used in cars to light a cigarette. Now this is a kind of 12 V outlet into which you can connect various devices. Therefore, if the cigarette lighter of a VAZ 2107 does not work, this is sometimes a big problem. What the device is, what the main malfunctions are, how to replace and repair the cigarette lighter, is discussed in this article.

Advantages and disadvantages of car cigarette lighters

Once a cigarette lighter appears in a car, it remains an integral part of the equipment.

With the development of technology, many devices have appeared that require sufficient power from the vehicle’s on-board network. AP began to be used as a car socket. The operating principle of the device has not changed over the years. But various tees and adapters appeared, which expanded the possibilities of using AP (the author of the video is Do It Yourself).

Design and purpose of the cigarette lighter

Originally, a car cigarette lighter (CA) was designed to allow the driver to light a cigarette, like using a coal from a fire. The design of the device has not changed since its creation, although it is present in the interiors of even the first domestic cars.

The VAZ 2106 cigarette lighter is a device consisting of two parts: a socket and a socket. The metal cartridge has a plastic handle in the form of a button. A metal rod is mounted in the center of the socket, acting as a positive pole.

The role of the minus is performed by the metal body of the cartridge. Between the body and the metal rod there is an insulator, eliminating contact between plus and minus. The connection between the positive and negative contacts occurs through a nichrome spiral, which acts as a heating element.

When current is applied to the heating element, it begins to heat up to a high temperature. When the coil heats up to the required temperature, the current stops flowing thanks to a thermal relay. The socket for the device is located on the dashboard, in a comfortable access area for the driver. It is made in the form of an oblong recess with a metal shell, which plays the role of a minus.

Inside there is a central contact, to which positive is supplied from the battery. The AP case is equipped with a backlight that automatically turns on along with the external lighting.

To turn on the heating mode, press the handle so that the cartridge is immersed in the socket and locked in the pressed state. It is held in place by bimetallic plates. At this moment, the positive contact of the cartridge is connected to the positive terminal of the socket, and the negative contact of the socket is connected to the negative terminal of the cartridge. The current flowing through the spiral heats it. The heating element reaches the desired temperature within 15-20 seconds.

Then, under the influence of high temperature, the bimetallic plates begin to diverge, a characteristic click is heard, and the cartridge takes its previous position thanks to the internal spring.

If there is low voltage in the on-board network, the cartridge will remain in the socket longer, as the heating time will increase.

Over time, an additional function was added to the direct purpose of the cigarette lighter - it began to be used as a socket for connecting various electronic devices. The AP socket is used to connect electrical appliances that only need 12 V on-board power to power them.

Electrical manufacturers produce a large number of devices that can be used in a car:

fan;
heater;
vacuum cleaner;
seat heating;
charger for phones and other devices;
devices for interior lighting, etc.

All additional electrical appliances are equipped with a special input for connection to the AP. Special splitters have appeared that allow you to connect several devices to a socket simultaneously.

The AP receives power from the vehicle's electrical network. The VAZ 2107 cigarette lighter, like other domestic cars, is connected via a mounting block directly from the battery without using a relay. The cigarette lighter connector is protected by a special 10 A fuse, which is located in the mounting block. At high current, the filament in the fuse melts and opens the electrical network, preventing ignition.

Cigarette lighter connection diagram

Three wires are connected to the AP socket:

"minus" - mass;
“plus” - connected via a fuse to the battery;
“plus” - connected to the instrument illumination lamp from the side lights, works only when the external lighting is turned on.

To eliminate the situation when the cartridge may jam in the socket, the AP is equipped with a special safety device that protects it from overheating and fire. The simplest such device is made in the form of a low-melting metal washer. If the temperature is too high, it melts and short-circuits the power supply to the AP for a short time, and the fuse in the mounting block blows, de-energizing the cigarette lighter.

Some cigarette lighters have a built-in fuse, which is located in the socket itself. If the washer melts or the fuse blows, the cigarette lighter must be replaced. Recently, a reusable thermal bimetallic fuse has been installed as a fuse. When overheated, it bridges the power contacts, preventing the fuse from blowing, but after a while the bimetallic fuse cools down and opens the contacts again.

Possible malfunctions: signs and causes

AP is not a reliable connecting device that lasts a long time. This is not provided for by its design. Good fixation can be ensured by increasing the number of presser feet, but a universal device has not yet been invented. In fact, the AP has only a central spring-loaded contact and two presser feet. The central contact may be located deep or close.

The grooves for the tabs on the fork may not coincide with the location of the tabs themselves. During operation, the contact between the plug and the socket of the device deteriorates, sparking appears at the connection point, and as a result, a short circuit is possible.

Possible malfunctions of the AP are listed below:

The plug does not fit well in the socket. In such a situation, the driver has to hold the head in the socket until it is completely warmed up, which is inconvenient and unsafe when driving a car. The cause of the malfunction is the antennae located in the socket. Over time, they wear out and no longer hold the cartridge. To fix this damage, you just need to bend the antennae (author of the video - And not only about fishing).
Burnout of the spiral in the cartridge. In this case, the problem can be solved by replacing the cigarette lighter head. You can restore the functionality of the old spiral by cleaning it from soot and carbon deposits. According to the rules, the coil heats up red-hot within 20 seconds after switching on. The head should then pop out. When this happens earlier or later, you can adjust the heating time by bending or straightening the contacts of the device. If the measures taken do not help, the head must be replaced.
Fuse blown. Typically, if a fuse blows, the driver is to blame when connecting several additional devices using a splitter. Thus, the load on the cigarette lighter, which is designed for a certain power, increases. In addition, short-term use of the nest is provided. Therefore, when the load is exceeded and constant use, the fuse blows. The problem is solved by replacing the part located in the safety block. The fuse is designed for 10 A. You should not install a part with a higher rating, as this threatens to burn out the AP socket.
Broken wiring. The operation of the device may be impaired if the wiring is broken. Wires may become pinched or chafed during operation, resulting in loss of contact. You can detect a break using a multimeter by ringing the circuit. Having found the break point, you need to replace the torn piece with a whole one. Wires should be properly insulated to avoid fire.

Signs of an incorrect connection

If the cigarette lighter is connected incorrectly, it will malfunction or fail completely. In addition, deviation from the installation rules can cause a short circuit and lead to ignition of the element.

How to check

If the cigarette lighter refuses to conduct electricity, you should make sure that it is connected correctly.

To check the functionality of the device, you need to follow the following algorithm:

Turn the ignition key and activate the electricity supply.
Insert the cigarette lighter into the socket.
Wait a few seconds and check the condition of the element with your hand. If it does not heat up, it means a breakdown has occurred.

Having completed the diagnostics, you should remove the device from the socket.

To restore the main function of the cigarette lighter, it is enough to change its head. If the nichrome spiral fails and is subject to wear due to intensive use, you can replace it with your own hands. The main thing is to choose the right model on the market.

If replacement does not fix the problem, you will need to check the power circuit and inspect all connections. At the inspection stage you should make sure:

Are the contacts on the cigarette lighter body and connection points burnt out?
Has the fuse, which is located in the corresponding compartment and is indicated by a cigarette icon or inscription, failed?
Are there any traces of combustion or foreign particles in the nest?
Is the socket plug OK?

Often, device malfunctions occur due to a damaged fuse. You can replace the part yourself without involving specialists.

If the device stops working, you can replace it yourself. The main thing is to figure out where the plus and minus are in the cigarette lighter.

Instructions for repairing and replacing the mechanism

Repair and replacement of the VAZ 2107 cigarette lighter are similar for the “VAZ classic”, so they can be considered as an example.

To perform these procedures you need to prepare the following tools:

Screwdriver Set;
pliers;
small forceps or tweezers;
soldering iron with solder;
portable lamp or flashlight;
electrical tape;
cotton gloves.

Repair consists of a sequence of steps:

The car is de-energized by removing the negative terminal from the battery.
In the cabin we find where the AP socket is located and provide convenient access to it. Usually it is located on the center console, so we move the driver's seat as far back as possible.
Now remove the cartridge from the socket. Having illuminated the inside of the nest, you need to remove all foreign objects or fragments using tweezers.
Next you should check the fuse located in the mounting block. It is usually located under the hood, dashboard or driver's seat. Having opened the fuse block, we find the required fuse. Its location can be determined by the diagram on the inside of the cover or in the operating instructions. We take out the required fuse and check its jumper. If it burns out, the part must be replaced.
If replacing the fuse does not help, move on to the next step. We take out the cigarette lighter. Then use pliers to carefully grab the rim and, without making any effort, pull it towards you so as not to damage the wiring.
On the pulled out element, we inspect the place where it is soldered to the AP. If a poor-quality connection or break is detected, you need to solder the wire. When inspecting, pay attention to the wires and insulation. If there are abrasions, the wire should be insulated.
After checking the device for functionality, we return the bezel to its original place.

Replacing the cigarette lighter VAZ 2107

Very often, owners of domestic cars, in particular the VAZ 2107, are faced with the problem of a malfunctioning cigarette lighter. For non-smoking drivers, a faulty mechanism does not play a big role, but when this element has to be used almost every hour, the problem should be solved quickly. After the cigarette lighter fails, you may also find that the radio does not function either.

Considering the fact that the car socket, in which the cigarette lighter is located according to the standard, is also used for other purposes:

phone charging connection;
turning on the recorder;
fan connection;
turning on the electric compressor to inflate the tires.

Today, the popularity of this socket is quite high, which even applies to domestic VAZ 2107 cars. In this material we will pay attention to the question of what is replacing the VAZ 2107 cigarette lighter, what is required to complete this procedure.

Causes of device malfunction

The cigarette lighter may need to be replaced if the product stops functioning. The reasons for mechanism failure are the following factors:

The socket fuse has blown. Occurs in frequent cases if the outlet is used to connect several devices as a splitter. After all, a 10-amp fuse is not designed for large current overloads, so in frequent cases it fails. In order to repair the cigarette lighter, you simply need to replace the fuse with a new one.
Oxidation of device contacts. To carry out repairs, you will need to remove the mechanism and clean the contacts.
Closing the contacts of the product. Contact melting occurs when inept owners replace a 10A fuse with a 15A one. As a result, this leads to the wiring in the car “burning” or the contacts melting. To fix the problem, you need to remove the device and make repairs based on the breakdown.
Faulty filament coil. In order to repair the product, it is necessary to replace the head with a new one. The cost of the product does not exceed 150 rubles.

If the product is used frequently, it may fail. According to the instructions, the cigarette lighter head should snap out when you press it after 10-20 seconds. Over time, this period of time increases, and at one point the product stops functioning altogether. Let’s find out in more detail what the connection diagram for the cigarette lighter on a VAZ “classic” is.

Cigarette lighter electrical circuit

The cigarette lighter socket of the “seven”, like any other inexpensive car, has the following connection diagram:

“Power” is a red wire, one part of which powers the clock in the car.
The yellow wire is the power supply for the backlight.
“Ground” is a black wire.

The fuse, which is responsible for protecting the product, is located in the mounting block at number 6. In modern cars, power to the cigarette lighter usually comes not directly from the battery, but through the ignition switch. As a result, power is not supplied until the ignition key is turned. This is done in order to preserve battery charge during long periods of parking.

Let's find out how to change the cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2107, and what the procedure is.

Features of device replacement

Self-replacement of the mechanism is carried out as follows:

First you need to remove the negative terminal from the battery. After this, dismantle the panel with the clock.
Using pliers you need to tighten the metal rim on the cigarette lighter.
Now you can dismantle the product.
After removing the socket, it is necessary to inspect it and, if necessary, replace it.
To replace a product, you need to switch the power wires to the new device, and then install it in place in the reverse order of removal.

It is important to know! If the new socket from the “Euro-cigarette lighter” is not suitable in diameter for installation in the panel, then you can increase the diameter using a knife.

After this procedure is completed, you can connect the negative terminal to the battery and turn on the product. After 15 seconds, the head should snap off, which indicates that the product is working properly. After making sure that the product is functioning, you can check the serviceability of the old head. If the old head does not snap off, then it cannot be repaired. Despite the fact that the product in question is not fancy, it requires periodic maintenance. In frequent cases, the fuse simply fails, so you should always have a couple of new products in stock.

Installing a second cigarette lighter

Many drivers lack an additional socket. There are several ways out of this situation. The simplest one is to install a special splitter that plugs into a standard connector. However, this can put a lot of stress on the circuit and cause the wires and fuse to blow. Therefore, some car owners install an additional car cigarette lighter.

The second method is more difficult, but more reliable. The procedure is carried out as follows.

We choose a suitable location for the additional device.
We are purchasing a new spare part. The black wire is the ground that we mount under the bolt on the body. Red is a plus, it goes to the battery, and yellow is responsible for the backlight of the device.
Cut a hole of suitable diameter.
We install a new spare part.
We connect all the wires, remembering where the plus and minus are in the cigarette lighter.
We remove debris and perform final assembly. Now the owner has two nests at his disposal.

The first cigarette lighters were born back in 1920 and since then have become one of the most indispensable elements in a car. Over the years of the formation and development of mechanical engineering, the operating principle of this miniature structure has not changed, but its purpose has expanded significantly. Today, with the help of this device, car enthusiasts recharge phones, tablets and laptops, connect car pumps, vacuum cleaners, fans, compressors and much more. And of course, the cigarette lighter is simply indispensable for smokers, both for those who still smoke cigarettes and for fans of electronic cigars that charge via USB.

Unfortunately, despite the appearance of all kinds of tees for the cigarette lighter, there is only one central element, and it has a number of advantages and disadvantages that should be taken into account when using this useful device.

How the cigarette lighter works and its purpose

In addition to its intended use, the following can be connected to its socket:

The cigarette lighter consists of a socket (socket) and a head (cartridge)

The cartridge is a metal body with a plastic handle in the form of a button. There is a metal rod in the center of the socket that acts as a positive contact. The negative contact in the cigarette lighter is the housing. To prevent short circuits, the body and the rod are separated from each other by a layer of insulator. The contacts are connected by a nichrome spiral, which is a heating element and is located inside the cartridge. When current is applied to the coil, it heats up to a high temperature. When the temperature reaches a certain value, the thermal relay is triggered and the current supply is stopped.

The cigarette lighter is located on the instrument panel in a convenient place for the driver. The nest is made in the form of an oblong metal body, which acts as a mass. The central contact is connected to the battery positive. In addition, a backlight lamp is built into the cigarette lighter housing, which turns on together with the external lighting.

Features of the procedure when replacing a short European cigarette lighter

One of the problems with the classic device is weak contacts. When driving on broken roads, the seats become loose, as a result of which the retaining ring can fly off, which can lead to a short circuit. Therefore, many owners decide to buy a short Euro cigarette lighter, also suitable for the VAZ 2107.

Its installation is carried out according to the diagram.

The disassembly procedure is similar to the previous procedures.
The diameter of the Euro cigarette lighter socket is slightly larger. Therefore, you should bore the old hole with a file to a suitable size.
Install the green part of the backlight.
We mount the landing socket.
You need to buy a standard three-pin connector at the store. The yellow wire is soldered to the yellow, the center green to the red, and the blue to the negative black.
Next, all that remains is to assemble the device according to the reverse diagram of disassembly and check its serviceability.

The main causes of malfunctions of the VAZ 2107 cigarette lighter

The cigarette lighter of the VAZ 2107 quite often fails. This happens for various reasons.

Fuse blown

If the cigarette lighter is used as a power outlet to operate multiple high-power devices through a power strip, the cigarette lighter fuse, rated for a maximum current of 10 A, may blow. Due to the peculiarities of the VAZ 2107 electrical connection diagram, the clock and radio will stop working along with the cigarette lighter.

Poor contact or oxidation

Sometimes the cigarette lighter contacts or connectors become oxidized and the device stops working. In such a situation, they must be cleaned by first disconnecting the negative terminal from the battery. The latter will eliminate the possibility of a short circuit. In addition, often the connector of the device connected to the cigarette lighter does not fit into the socket tightly enough. Such unreliable contact can lead to short circuits, melting of contacts and failure of the cigarette lighter. The contacts may also melt when installing a fuse of a higher rating (for example, 15 A). In such cases, you can try to clean and resolder the contacts. If this does not lead to a positive result, the cigarette lighter will need to be replaced with a new one. The cost of a new device for the VAZ 2107 is about 150 rubles.

Burnt out filament element

Sometimes the cigarette lighter coil burns out. In this case, the device is replaced with a new one.

Broken electrical wiring

The cigarette lighter may stop working due to pinching or chafing of the wires, followed by broken contacts. You can diagnose this situation using a multimeter by testing the wiring of the cigarette lighter connection circuit.

After finding the damaged section of the wiring, it is replaced with a new one. Particular attention should be paid to the integrity of the wire insulation - this will reduce the likelihood of a short circuit and fire to a minimum.

Car cigarette lighter illumination

Sometimes a light bulb burns out. This occurs due to old age or a small short circuit. You need to diagnose the problem and then replace the backlight bulb with a new one.

Remove the wire from the battery.
We take out the metal cartridge.
Remove the central plastic cover.
Disconnect the power wires.
Unscrew the fixing nut.
Remove the housing along with the backlight bulb.
We replace the burnt out element with a new spare part.
We assemble everything according to the diagram in reverse order.

Replacing the cigarette lighter of a VAZ 2107 with a cigarette lighter from a VAZ 2114

VAZ 2107 owners sometimes change the standard cigarette lighter. Reasons for replacement are:

Most often they install a cigarette lighter from a VAZ 2114/15 - the so-called Euro-cigarette lighter, which is slightly shorter than the standard one. Installing it on a VAZ 2107 is quite simple. After dismantling the standard cigarette lighter, you will only need to slightly enlarge the hole in which it was fixed.

You can use sandpaper or a round file to widen the hole.

The device is installed in the following order:

Thus, any malfunction of the VAZ 2107 cigarette lighter can be eliminated independently. To do this, you only need a minimum set of plumbing tools and following the instructions of specialists. Installing a new cigarette lighter will also not cause much trouble for the owner of a VAZ 2107.

Help with choosing a part

Today, there are many options for the VAZ 2107 cigarette lighter available on the market. The average price of a part is 200 - 400 rubles for a standard element and 500 - 600 for a European cigarette lighter. It is advisable to choose the latter option. It has several advantages relative to the classic part.

Reliable fixation. The European cigarette lighter is securely held in the socket, and the fixing nut does not unscrew.
The appearance and backlight are prettier.
A modern car lighter allows you to connect several devices at the same time.

The cigarette lighter does not work on the VAZ 2107

Sometimes it happens that after an unsuccessfully pulled out cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2107, the entire central insert follows it, then - puff! – a spark flickers with a crackle, and that’s it. The cigarette lighter doesn't work.

The non-smoking driver doesn’t seem to have much trouble, God bless him, the repairs can wait. But the catch is that, due to the peculiarities of the cigarette lighter connection circuit on the VAZ 2107, the car radio (or radio), as well as the car clock along with its backlight, fails and does not work.

With the advent of the third millennium, the problems became even greater: a cell phone charger is connected to this socket, a DVR, a mini-TV and even a small refrigerator are powered. All this is absolutely not scary, but some lazy car enthusiasts have stopped carrying a hand or foot pump with them, and use exclusively an electric one, from the same source. This is where problems begin on the highway, in case of a puncture. You need to vote “to ask for a pump.”

What comes to mind is replacing the cigarette lighter in your favorite VAZ 2107, or, in extreme cases, repairing it. But let's first figure it out and see what the cigarette lighter connection diagram is.

Cigarette lighter connection diagram

Leading automakers began introducing cigarette lighters in their cars back in the 20s. last century. Since then, they have gained great popularity and have become an indispensable accessory on the dashboard of vehicles. The operating principle of the devices has not changed, but the capabilities and functions have been expanded.

Electrical diagram for connecting the cigarette lighter of a VAZ 2107 car

There are slight differences depending on which model of center console is installed in the car.

If a replacement has been made and you have a “five console”, the connection diagram is as follows:

The color of the food is blue-red, paired, while the color of the minus “mass” is paired, black and white. The ground is fixed near the ignition relay. One branch powers the light in the glove compartment.

Native console (central) VAZ 2107, the connection principle is as follows:

“Ground” is black, the wires going to the lighting are white, there are two of them. The circuit provides that one wire illuminates the panel.

The power supply wire is blue and red, paired, one part fits and powers the on-board clock.

It is also important to know that in addition to wires, the circuit contains:

The cigarette lighter itself;
A 10 ampere fuse marked F 6, which is located in the mounting block.

Lower left part of the VAZ-2106 wiring diagram

This part of the diagram shows the elements and spare parts responsible for the operation of the engine and electrical wiring system (starters, relays, etc.). When browsing from top to bottom, you can see the following elements:

Machine carburetor solenoid valve kit (21);
The design of the car generator (22) and the starter itself (23);
Battery terminals (24);
A set of various types of relays responsible for receiving a charge for the entire system from the batteries (25), turning on the headlights with low beam (26) and high beam (27), as well as a relay that controls the operation of the windshield wiper (28);
At the end, the connection to the additional fuse block (29) is indicated.

Causes of malfunction

It often happens that the VAZ 2107 cigarette lighter socket is a socket, as described above. The calculation scheme is simple: by multiplying the maximum current for which the fuse is designed (10 A) by the voltage of the on-board circuit (voltage 12 V), we get 120 W. If this is not just a socket, but a splitter, you need to remember this. The fuse will burn like a match (at best), and repairs will become commonplace. A load of no more than 100 W works well.

Sometimes the contacts of the cigarette lighter itself or its connector become oxidized. Then they are cleaned, having first reset the ground to avoid a short circuit. Replacement is not necessary at all; anyone can do the repair themselves.

The next possible failure is that many additional devices do not fit tightly into the cigarette lighter socket, contact with the walls is poor, a “chatter” begins, and a short circuit occurs. After this, the contacts melt and the cigarette lighter does not work. If the contacts are melted, repairs can be made by cleaning and re-soldering them, or replacement is required. In this case, large peak loads occur on the fuse.

Finally, sometimes the coil on the cigarette lighter itself may simply burn out. In this case, you just need to replace the head with a new one. If you can’t find a spare part, you can carry out a simple repair - clean the cigarette lighter coil from soot and carbon deposits.

How to connect the cigarette lighter VAZ 2101

Lighter for VAZ 2106

For many car owners, a cigarette lighter is a necessary device, because a cigarette lighter is needed not only as a cigarette lighter. in addition to its use for this purpose. portable car refrigerator, compressor, TV, travel razor or coffee maker, mobile phone charger connects to power sources through the cigarette lighter socket. If the cigarette lighter breaks, it must be disassembled and repaired. If the cigarette lighter completely fails, it must be replaced. Let's talk about how to replace a lighter.

Does not work

screwdriver; soldering iron; tweezers; cotton gloves.

Summary of the repair:

Open the cover and then remove the negative terminal from the battery. This will cut off power to the machine and greatly reduce the risk of a short circuit.

Then move the driver's seat too far to gain access to the cigarette lighter, which in most cases is located in the center console.

Now take a flashlight and examine the inside of the lighter. There should be no foreign fragments or objects. If they are all there, you should carefully remove them with rubber-tipped tweezers or 2 matches.

Check the fuse for the cigarette lighter. In the event of a short circuit, the fuse will blow through the device connected to the cigarette lighter and no current will flow. To resume delivery, a new working fuse must be installed. This is where your owner's manual should help, telling you which specific fuse to replace. In addition, a table of all fuses is located on the rear panel of the fuse box.

If the above methods are useless and the cigarette lighter does not work, unplug it. To do this, gently pull the iron panel using pliers. At the same time, it is necessary to slide a cloth under the teeth of the pliers so that no marks are left on the rim.

Try turning off the lighter. If the body is hard, try pulling on each side one at a time. But don't pull too hard to avoid breaking the wires.

Inspect the cigarette lighter. It is worth paying attention to the presence of dark soot. Also check the soldering and insulation of the wire. Soldering the wire is often a prerequisite for the absence of current in the car cigarette lighter. Then carefully solder this wire into place.

Insert the last cigarette lighter head if current is present and the coil is cold. Due to frequent use, the heating element burns quite quickly. Always buy a socket specifically designed for the cigarette lighter.

How to connect

It is best to create cigarette-independent 5V sources for each accessory and supply them from the ignition circuit (after the ignition switch). And then the recorder and navigator will only be connected when the engine is running (for recording twice as good, it has an autostart function. Disconnection from an external power source)

Connection diagram

There are slight differences depending on which model of center console is installed on the car.

If you have made the changes and you have a "five-way console", the connection diagram will be as follows:

The food color is blue. reddish, smooth, color minus “mass”. smooth, dark and white. The ground is fixed near the ignition relay. One branch gives light to the glove.

Connection diagram for cigarette lighter VAZ-2107, 2106, 2108, 2104

The VAZ-2107 cigarette lighter must be connected in accordance with the diagram of an identical model - 2104:

black wire - ground;
red - goes through the fuse to the battery positive;
yellow - included in the instrument panel lighting circuit.

If the standard device for some reason does not satisfy the car owner, the cigarette lighter is replaced with a device of a more attractive appearance - a European standard cigarette lighter. This procedure is much easier to carry out than installing an injector on a VAZ-2108. Installation of a European cigarette lighter requires the need to widen the standard hole with a file or sandpaper: the modern device has a slightly larger diameter.

Which to choose

The socket for connecting external devices is a simple and unpretentious device. Its breakdowns are extremely rare and repair work is easy to carry out on your own. When making a purchase, you need to pay attention to the integrity of the wires and the quality of the threaded connections.

If for some reason the cigarette lighter stops working, the car owner believes that the color of its backlight does not match the design of the instrument panel, or there are simply not enough sockets for the simultaneous operation of all necessary devices, the device can be replaced with a splitter with several standard sockets.
