Before dismantling the VAZ 21099 panel, you will need to remove the terminals from the power supply by hand. Then the decorative steering wheel trim is removed. The nut should be unscrewed so that its end is flush with the similar element of the steering column shaft. You can’t turn it away right away. Then tuning the VAZ 21099 panel involves removing the steering wheel.

After unscrewing the 6 screws that secure the lower casing, you will need to remove it. The ignition switch trim is removed. The next step involves loosening the bolt that secures the base of the switches. The last element is removed from the shaft, and 2 blocks with the corresponding wires are disconnected.

In this case, you will need to label the washer and wiper switches. The block with wires is disconnected from the corresponding levers and direction indicators. The choke should be pulled out so that a draft occurs. At the same time, the handle of the first unit is pulled towards itself. Then the bolts securing the console trim are removed from the panel and the trim itself is removed.

The cigarette lighter cartridge and ashtray are pulled out of the socket. The VAZ torpedo is equipped with a heater fan that will need to be removed. To do this, it is recommended to use a screwdriver. The block and two wires are disconnected from the fan switch. They illuminate the europanel.

How to remove the instrument panel from a VAZ-2114

Before you finally remove the dashboard on the VAZ-2114, you need to understand the specific components that will have to be dismantled:

a key component on which the BC is attached, a block of various devices, as well as all kinds of keys, switches and other components;
a trim that is installed on the VAZ-2114 mainly for beauty, but also has air duct outlets;
plugs;
brackets;
ashtray body;
crossbars;
shield;
central bracket;
console screens.

If you are going to remove the instrument panel from a VAZ-2114, you will have to remove all these elements separately. Moreover, each of them has its own fastening features and you will need to use different tools, since you will need to remove the shield and, for example, the brackets in different ways.

Tools and materials

To remove all the necessary elements, it is not at all necessary to have any expensive tools or special equipment. It is enough that the garage has a standard set of screwdrivers, as well as instructions for working with the VAZ-2114.

Sequence of operations when removing a torpedo from a VAZ-2114

In order to remove the instrument panel from a VAZ-2114, it is enough to do everything in accordance with the simple instructions given below:

Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the 3 screws securing the left console screen to the dashboard. It is recommended to get a short tool, as it is much more convenient.
Carefully remove the lower part of the trim from the body bracket, removing the screen.
Remove all screws securing the console screen to the panel. At the same time, do not forget to constantly belay the pad with your hand.
Remove the screen. At the same time, be sure to ensure that it does not cling to any kind of cords.
Disconnect the connectors to disconnect ground from the battery. If a radio is used in transport, then in this case it should also be separated from the main wires by removing the connecting block. If it is not in the car, it will be enough to remove the wires from the dashboard, making sure that they have a plug. Be sure to turn off the cigarette lighter and also remove the socket with the light bulb that illuminates the ashtray.
Remove the handles from all levers that control the heating dampers. It is recommended to pry them off with a flathead screwdriver to make the procedure easier. There is a special protrusion on the lever, and when the handle is installed, it is combined with the lever through a special hole. That is why, when removing it, you should use a thin screwdriver to pick it up and lift it, freeing it from this protrusion.
Remove the electric fan toggle switch (you just need to pull it out of the connector).
Unscrew all the screws securing the VAZ-2114 dashboard to the brackets on both sides.
Release the shield and trim by removing two self-tapping screws located in the window near the instrument unit;
Take out the plug and remove the screw located behind it.
Remove the two screws that hold the trim in place at the bottom, then pull it out.
Label the wires to identify which switches they go to, then unplug them.
Remove all bolts from the steering bracket.
Unscrew the screws holding the lower bracket mount.
Remove the light guide.
Remove the element securing the heating control unit, and then remove the cartridges that are located behind it.
Remove the decorative insert, removing any external components.
