Not working window ("Kalina"): possible defects and their removal

Today, very often in the courts you can see the domestic "Kalina" from "AVTOVAZ". These machines the people are very fond, though often criticized for their build quality. As with all foreign and domestic cars, each series has its own disease – e.g. does not work window. "Kalina" is no exception, so it is important to know the causes of such unfortunate failures, as well as to be able to fix them.

Typical fault causes:

Window regulator – this is a useful thing. Failure it may be associated with a variety of different reasons. All these causes are divided into electrical problems or mechanical failure. And first and in the second case, the repair window ("Kalina" is no exception) can be performed independently in a garage.

Electrical fault

The First and largest problem with the operation of the Windows is to hang the brushes in the collector electric motor, which is driven by a mechanism raising/lowering Windows. This happens due to the fact that in the process of operation of the electric motor overheat brushes made of graphite, and the plastic socket in which they are installed away from high temperature melts. This leads to the fact that the brush is simply stick to the plastic socket. As in "AVTOVAZ" do not want to abandon the plastic and replace the socket on the metal, to Refine the design by the owners. Under the influence of high temperatures, when the brush stick to the wall plastic socket, they lose their mobility. When the details are lightly worn, they do not reach the collector plates. Spring can't move the stuck brush and not carries them to the collector. To resolve this issue only by using mechanical intervention. According to owners, repair window ("Kalina") is the dismantling of the door panels and disassembling the engine.

Check fuse

Another common cause of problems with operation of the lift system is associated with stress experienced by the contacts to a control panel window. As the specialists of "AVTOVAZ" is not provided in the discharge circuit of the relay, the remote is not able to withstand these loads. In the end denied, and the front Windows, and back. In this case, the owner will have to resolve problems in the remote. If you refused to perform its functions from the Windows on all sides, then it is recommended to verify the integrity of the fuse is 30 A. should Look for it under the hood in the mounting block. If this element is burned out, then we will see a dark place where there was a short circuit. Also it's worth checking the state of insulation of wires. It is particularly careful to see wires in places of transition from the body to the door.

There is tension?

You Also need to test the voltage at the terminals of the electric motor, which drives the window lift mechanism. Often, the host crashes because of lack of voltage. If there is no electricity, you need to look for an open circuit. Usually the fault is found in the control unit and relays. It is also worth cleaning the contacts of the control panel. Often, for this reason, the car “choice” is not working window regulator (right or left).

Defects mechanics

That can interfere with the proper working of electric motor? It is recommended inspect the drive plate. If the glass begins to react to the button press only after taps on the door, then the flap gets. To fix this, disassemble the casing and the rotor and clean these parts with sandpaper.

If you click on the driver hears a distinctive roar, and the glass is not moving, so badly worn out plastic gear reducer. Repairs are impossible – just to replace.

Another reason why is not working the window («Kalina»-universal is no exception) is the ingress of moisture inside the doors and oxidation of mobile systems. As a result of oxidation mechanisms jammed.

If in the process of moving the glass heard a very loud noise, then you need to replace the gearbox bearing. If when trying to close the window glass twitching, then it is distorted or in the movie hit foreign objects.

Sometimes, the mechanism does not work even after replacing the motor. Then the problem is hidden in the cord. It should be replaced. For car“choice” the cost of replacement will be approximately 300-400 rubles, as separately this cable is not for sale.

Solve electrical problems

The First step is to prepare a set of tools. Also need a tester. It is recommended to find a spacious place – in the process, will revolve around the car. Now you need to define broken window.

Check fuse

On the left side of the steering column is a hatch that must be opened. It is a mounting block with fuses. To open the unit, quite a bit to pry it with a screwdriver.

It is necessary to find a fuse labelled F2. It is responsible for the operation of the electric circuit of the glazing. There are two options – either the fuse blows or he's a and then you should look for the problem elsewhere.

Remote

If the fuse is still intact, and the glass does not rise or does not drop, and should go to the control panel on the driver's door. Using the same screwdriver should remove the plastic cover – underneath the price that you must get. It is a switch – it is recommended to check the fit of the terminals, and the integrity of the transaction. The problem this panel will explain why not work the rear Windows on «Kalina». The switch can be checked using a tester, and if it is defective, must be replaced.

Transaction

If the switch is working, then you should proceed to the next stage. To do this, dismantle the door trim depending on, which side window is not working as it should. After the dismantling of the glass will be visible, with the mechanism and the motor with the wires.

The Main goal now – check with a tester the wiring and the electric drive. Disassemble the motor it does not need – all easily done with the help of a multimeter. If, nevertheless, failed motor, then it is recommended to replace it. For car “choice” the cost of such replacement will be 500 rubles.

Drivers Often do not wish to clean the glass from the ice and snow – to facilitate their lives, they use automatic cleanup. Its essence is to lower the glass, and when it starts to go into the door cavity, a layer of snow and ice will be removed automatically. But it is very bad – the electric motor puts an incredible load that sooner or later lead to a jamming of the stator or rotor. The result – is not working the window.

«Kalina», and replacing the gear window regulator

First, you need to buy a reducer. Now they are sold in a single housing with the motor. Then removing the door trim panel. Experts do not recommend to perform this operation in the winter on the street on a cold day, as the covering on «Kalina» mounted on a soft plastic caps. If the element of the fastener will fall off, you will have to stick. You then remove the screws and other fasteners that holds the inner handle opening. Wiring harness and disconnect the speakers.

In the next step directly off the glass, which is held in the guide. Need to Unscrew the four bolts with a key for 10. The result is the glass will sink to the bottom. You should also remove the curtain, which is fixed on the bottom of the glass. The window regulator fixed on 4 screws on the left and 4 to the right on the rails. Also the three nuts held motor-reducer.

The Unit is removed through the process vents. This is the carriage and two guides. Using the most recent control cable reducer. On the cable in two places there are rings mounted on the carriages. Reducer consists of two parts, connected by pins. If the latter is to Unscrew the motor will fall apart into two parts. One is the engine with the gear. The other part is – drum with special grooves.

After replacing the gearbox it is necessary to collect everything in reverse order and you can enjoy reanimated mechanism. Motor-reducer is inexpensive and replacing it is quite simple.

Before assembling you need to carefully inspect and lubricate the cable. If after that, the car «Kalina» is not working the driver's window, then it is recommended to check a tube amplifier. To the glass fell completely, shorten the rubber bump stops.

Replacement wheels

If the window goes down willingly, and refuses to rise, then you will need to replace the gears. First operation – dismantling of the upholstery together with the switch block. Next Unscrew the three nuts that hold the gear motor. ThenUnscrew nuts of fastening of the mechanism mounting bolts and glass, not forgetting to remove the block. Then removed directly to the gearbox, Unscrew the screws and remove the cover. Using a screwdriver, remove the gear and its housing must be cleaned thoroughly. Bearing and the worm should also be thoroughly lubricated. Then everything is going in reverse order.

If not running window («Kalina» the hatchback is no exception), after such replacement, be sure is working, because the gear – one of the typical reasons of an exit mechanism out of action.

In case all these measures do not help, then change the entire mechanism along with the motor. The dismantling is not so difficult, the key is to buy quality gear. Spare parts sales may differ from those installed at the factory.

Cost

How much is a new window regulator on «Kalina»? The price of the original mechanism is 1500 rubles. You can also purchase counterparts. For example, window motor firm LSA can be purchased for 500 rubles.

Conclusion

So, we found reasons for not working window regulator for domestic car “choice”. As you can see, to solve this breakage under the force of even the novice motorist. While spare parts for “Snowball” can be found in any area of your city.
