Everyone knows that cars break down sooner or later. But sometimes a motorist is faced with a problem such as failure of electrical equipment.
Headlights, no matter where they are placed, do not last long. The main reason for lamp failure is simple burnout. Some finish work early and end up in the landfill due to abrupt switching on and off. There is also another common reason - the lamp is not designed for the voltage of your wiring. For example, the wiring produces 230-240 W, but the lamp only produces 220 W. This unevenness leads to rapid burnout. But no matter how you look at it, the lamps don’t last long.
To instantly fix a malfunction, you need to calculate the fuses, find the non-working ones and replace them.
Side lights are signal lights, that is, on a modern iron horse, their function is to provide signals that mark the location (side of the road or parking) and the size of the car itself. This is clearly stated in traffic rules And Vehicle.
Replacing the side light lamp of a VAZ-2114
Side light lamps are divided into front and rear. They are located closer to the turn signals. Let's look at the general provisions:
- Front lamps are usually white, and the rear ones are bright red.
- To turn the dimensions on or off, you need to press the “switch side lights" The button is located above the central computer display. When the lamps are turned on, the button lights up green.

- Turn off all the lights so that the car is literally “dark,” then open the hood.
- Find the plastic casing on the headlamp with the non-working lamp and unscrew the screws.
- Now simply remove the lamp socket and replace it.
To replace the rear lamp, you need:
- Usually they are covered with decorative upholstery, remove it. Next you should see and remove the block with wires. There should be side latches under it, squeeze them and pull out the socket with the non-working light bulb.
- That's not all. Find the burnt out bulb, push it in and pull it counterclockwise. Congratulations, the light bulb has been removed. Now all that remains is to install a new, working lamp.
We would also like to add that overheating of the fuse can occur for various reasons, for example, short circuit throughout the entire automotive chain. In this case, we do not recommend repairing it yourself; it is better to contact a mechanic. Or the button does not turn on, the reason here is due to the fact that the oxidized contacts need to be cleaned.
