Instrument panel UAZ Patriot, Hunter and Loaf: description of indicators, repair and pinout of the panel

Dashboard on a UAZ Patriot car

The dashboard is that piece of interior that not only warms the soul of the SUV owner, but also brings pleasure to the eyes. The more modern the dashboard looks, the more pleasant it is for the driver to drive the car - and that’s a fact! If the predecessor of the old UAZ had a very primitive dashboard, then the modern miracle creation of the Ulyanovsk automobile industry can boast of the interior decoration of the car's interior. What is the dashboard on an SUV, the main devices and additions, as well as tuning the device - we will look at all this in this material.

Tuning ideas

What tuning ideas can be implemented in dashboards on UAZ:

1. Organizing LED lighting is the simplest option. You just need to change the standard installed bulbs in the tidy to LED ones.
2. Using a tuned scale for tidy sensors. Such scales are applied directly on top of the standard scales with values. They are usually used because they are more modern in appearance. Installation of scales on the speedometer, tachometer and other sensors must be carried out by removing the needles from the instruments; such scales can be purchased either in a store or downloaded from the Internet.
3. Covering the dashboard, in particular its outer part. This tuning method is more relevant if there is damage on the shield.
4. Adding chrome rings to the scales.
5. Installation of sports equipment. This option is the most difficult, since installing a tuned sports device will require altering the standard connection connectors. It may also be necessary to intervene in the operation of the control unit in order to synchronize the new device with it.

Appearance

The dashboard is nothing more than a panel on which various automobile components are located. The instrument panel is made primarily of black plastic. The panel body is removable, which is a plus when repair work is necessary. The ease of dismantling the panel makes it possible to tune it or upgrade other components.

The instrument panel on the UAZ Patriot SUV has a modern design that can be freely compared with foreign crossovers. Let's look at what is included in the instrument panel:

• Lighting control unit.
• Switch for turn signals and headlights.
• Window washer and wiper control.
• Regulating the frequency of operation of glass cleaners.
• Instruments for measuring speed, engine speed, amount of fuel in the tank, time, etc.
• Sound signal control.
• Heating and air conditioning control unit.
• Hazard switch.
• Ignition switch with built-in anti-theft system.

Instrument cluster

The instrument cluster on the UAZ Patriot SUV includes the following elements, indicators and signaling elements. Below is a diagram that shows the location of the element.

The instrument cluster will help beginners understand certain indicator lights. So, knowing what an instrument cluster is, let’s look at why the backlight rheostat on a UAZ Patriot SUV may not work.

Why do the instrument lights not work?

If the instrument lighting does not work on an SUV, then before getting discouraged, you should look for the reason at the source itself. There is a regulator on the panel, which is a rheostat; it is used to control the panel backlight. To do this, move the rheostat to its highest position, and if the lights do not light up, then you will need to look a little deeper for the reasons.

When the instrument lighting does not work, you should check the serviceability of fuse number F1. If it is working, then you need to check the rheostat. If the rheostat has oxidized contacts, then no current passes through it and thus there is no backlight. You can short-circuit the contacts directly, and if the lights light up, then the reason is a faulty rheostat. To correct the breakdown, the rheostat should be replaced. Another malfunction may be burnt-out instrument lighting bulbs. If this happens, it becomes necessary to disassemble the panel and replace the light bulbs with new ones.

Panel lighting and tuning

If the UAZ Patriot model 3163 SUV has conventional incandescent light bulbs in the dashboard, then cars produced in 2010 have a new dashboard with LED lighting. Diode light bulbs are a new generation of lighting.

There is good news for owners of the first models of the UAZ Patriot SUV. If you are tired of the weak backlight of the instrument panel, or it has an unpleasant glow color, then this problem can be easily corrected by upgrading the light bulbs, or simply by tuning the device. So, lighting tuning involves replacing incandescent lamps with LEDs. How is panel tuning done? To do this, you need to remove the dashboard, disassemble it and replace conventional bulbs with LED ones. Be sure to pin out the plugs before disconnecting them, so that everything can be easily returned to its place upon completion of the work.

It is not recommended to purchase LEDs that are too bright, as they will simply interfere with the driver’s ability to drive in the evening.

We will consider tuning and the process of removing the dashboard in the following materials, and at this stage the torpedo and its appearance on the UAZ Patriot SUV is fully considered.

Appearance and performance characteristics

The shield is made of black plastic. The convenient removable housing can be removed for troubleshooting and diagnostics. Even a beginner can remove the panel. Tuning of the part is possible. The design is stylish, like foreign “crossovers”.

On the shield are located:

• lighting control unit;
• buttons for switching turn signals;
• control buttons for windshield wipers and water supply for washing the windshield;
• regulators for window cleaners;
• devices measuring speed (speedometer), shaft rotation frequency;
• indicators of gasoline level in the tank;
• watch;
• buttons for beeping;
• heater and air conditioner control units;
• ignition switch with built-in anti-theft system;
• alarm buttons.

Panel lighting and tuning

The 3136 SUV has simple incandescent bulbs. Since 2010, instrument panels have been equipped with LED sources.

Owners of old UAZ models with weak, dim lighting have access to tuning. Low-power incandescent lamps are being replaced by diode lamps. To replace it, you will first have to unscrew and disassemble the panel. Before disconnecting, it is necessary to pin out the plugs, then after completion of the work, reinstallation will be easy. You should not purchase LEDs that are too bright: they will blind the driver at night and interfere with driving.

Instructions for dismantling the dashboard

You only need to dismantle it yourself if you have experience and skills in performing such work. If a motorist is not confident in his abilities, it is better to contact a car service employee.

Work on removing the shield should begin by removing the plastic elements. The cladding is secured with 4 screws, 2 of which are placed in the upper part, and 2 others in the lower part. These fasteners will have to be unscrewed using a screwdriver. Then the electrical wires are disconnected from the combination.

A panel extension is placed under the steering column. This element is attached with 3 screws. The mounting block cover is located there. The side plugs are secured using 3 screws.

To remove the trim, you will first have to remove the handles from the remote control that controls the heating system. To do this, unscrew the screws located under the handles. Afterwards, the lining is removed from the device. The box for small items and the ashtray are removed from their nests. The fasteners are unscrewed on both sides.

To remove the upper luggage compartment of the shield, you need to unscrew 4 screws. You can find them under the top cover. The lower compartment is removed by unscrewing 6 fasteners that fit under the bottom cover. You also need to remove the additional luggage rack. It is secured with 3 screws.

The panel itself is removed when all the plastic parts are detached. You will have to unscrew the nuts through the openings in the shield, unscrew the bolts on the side surfaces, access to which is hidden by plugs.

Dashboard of UAZ Hunter

Anyone who knows the interior of a car from the inside will be pretty surprised. Well, where can you put leather on the dashboard of a UAZ Hunter? After all, everything there is so ascetic. Just bare metal. Everything is correct. First you will have to install an overlay panel, for example, “Victoria-2”, and then decorate it with leather or vinyl. That is, there are two options:

1. Buy and install a ready-made panel.
2. Make your own dashboard.

Of course, it’s easiest to buy a ready-made instrument panel for the UAZ Hunter. This eliminates a lot of unnecessary steps.

But when making this part with your own hands, you can fully realize all your wildest fantasies. Of course, if you have a designer streak.

"Victoria-2" - dashboard from the store

There will not be a description of the installation process of this part on the UAZ Hunter. This is a rather extensive and separate topic. Just a small characteristic and price issue.

So, this product is made of plastic with fiberglass. The color is usually black. The devices are organically placed in the upper part. In general, everything is clearly visible in the photo. According to estimates from experienced UAZ Hunter owners, the average price of such a panel is 3,500 rubles. In principle, not very expensive.

Attention! The material from which this part is made, in principle, looks quite solid. Therefore, you should first decide whether to cover Victoria with leather or not.

Make it yourself

Here, too, there will be no detailed instructions for manufacturing the described part. The main thing is the materials used for its manufacture. This is usually:

Each author uses his imagination and ability to work with materials to the fullest, so the shapes of homemade instrument panels for the UAZ Hunter can have the most bizarre shapes.

Important! The main thing is that wood and plywood are best suited for covering this part with leather.

Select material for work

And now, the panel is installed in its place. Now you need to think about how to cover it. There are two possibilities.

1. Genuine Leather.
2. Artificial vinyl.
3. Alcantara is self-adhesive.

What to choose? Here it is worth thinking about the following things. Leather, of course, looks more respectable, and what can I say more beautiful, but the cost of this material is much higher.

Vinyl is much cheaper and easier to process, although less prestigious. What should I do? One more nuance. UAZ Hunter SUV. A car for going out into the field. After hunting or fishing, when overcoming difficult areas, in any case, dirt and moisture will get on the panel. Frequent treatment with elements of moisture causes both leather and vinyl to become unusable. So you should immediately count on the possible replacement of the entire casing. Based on these data and your financial capabilities, you need to resolve this issue.

Well, Alcantara. This is an artificial material, patented in Italy, although invented by the Japanese. This is faux suede. Honestly, it’s the most convenient to use and quite decent-looking option.

What you will need

If vinyl or leather is chosen for the work, then you will have to prepare the following set:

• glue;
• scissors;
• stationery knife;
• brush;
• mounting hair dryer (or at least a simple one).

This is a complete set for working with the mentioned materials.

Attention! Alcantara mainly has a self-adhesive layer, so a sharp knife is enough.

Possible faults

The backlight may stop lighting. To correct such a malfunction, you must first move the rheostat to its highest position. This part is located on the panel. If the lights do not light up, you will have to check fuse F1. In cases where the part is not damaged, inspect the rheostat contacts. If they oxidize, current stops flowing, causing the lighting system to malfunction. The rheostat will have to be replaced. The light bulbs themselves can burn out. In such a situation, replace them with new ones.

If the speed meter does not work, the needle deviates, or the distance traveled is not counted, first check the panel in test mode. If the speedometer test passes normally, the connecting connector is disconnected from the speed sensor and the presence of voltage is checked using a light bulb. If the indicators are normal, you should connect 1 more wire to pin 2. Quickly connecting and opening it with pin 3 will cause the speedometer needle to deflect. If this phenomenon is not observed, the device is faulty. In such a situation, it is only possible to replace the panel.

If the arrow moves, remove the speed sensor and restore the connector connection. Tighten the drive shaft yourself. The arrow may deviate when driving, even if the distance traveled is not counted or the daily data reset is not possible. In such situations, the cause of the violation is a breakdown of the reset button or a breakdown in communication with the indicator. You can get rid of such damage by replacing the panel.

Sometimes the speedometer incorrectly determines the speed of movement. You can check the accuracy of the readings by turning off the meter and applying a 12 V signal from the square pulse generator to the 2nd pin of the connector. Observe the smooth movement of the arrow, the presence of fluctuations and jumps. If the device operates incorrectly, replace it.

The tachometer can also break. If there is a malfunction, the needle begins to jam and move irregularly. The broken part will have to be replaced with a new one. The malfunction can also be localized in the control unit.

The fuel level indicator may show incorrect information, become stuck, or not work at all. Most often the element has to be changed.

If the gauge readings begin to float while driving, the problem in most cases lies in the poor quality of the combination contact with the battery negative.

Sometimes the operation of some of the alarms is disrupted. Individual lamps may fail. In such situations, burnt out LEDs are replaced. If the backlight does not appear after replacement, the panel should be replaced.

Malfunctions of the UAZ Patriot instrument cluster

The devices and the panel as a whole do not often cause problems for owners, because they are quite reliable and can last the entire life of the car. But there are times when the dashboard on a UAZ Patriot stops functioning.

Most appliances don't work

In this case, the lighting in the cabin and outside does not turn on, the indicators and warning lights do not light up, and the pointer arrows do not move on the instruments. The engine may not be able to start at all. There are two reasons for this malfunction.

1. The main panel (microcircuit) is out of order,
2. There are serious problems with the electronic control unit (sensor data is not displayed on the instrument panel).

To troubleshoot a problem, you must have the skills and knowledge to repair electrical equipment and electronics. And if they are not there, it is better to turn to specialists, preferably highly qualified ones.

The backlight does not light up

To control it in UAZ Patriot cars, a special regulator is used, which is structurally a rheostat. To ensure maximum brightness of the backlight of the shield, you should move the slider to the very top. The backlight may not work most often due to a failed fuse F. But even in this case, before changing it, you need to eliminate the cause of the burnout.

The second common factor in regulator failure: oxidation often forms on the rheostat contacts, causing no voltage to flow. Sometimes part of the backlight or several bulbs may not work. In this case, the lighting sources burned out. To eliminate such malfunctions, you should completely remove the shield and replace the burnt out elements.

Sensors don't work

Often a malfunction may occur with instrument readings (speedometer, tachometer, etc.), namely their absence. If all the sensors on the panel do not work at once, the reason may be a malfunction of the electronics (ECU). If one of the pointers does not work, you should look for the reason in the desired node. For example, the coolant temperature gauge does not work. The sensor that measures and transmits current temperature data to the dashboard should be checked for functionality.

If the devices do not work, and all the indicators meanwhile work properly, then such situations are called “freezing” of the devices, caused by a low battery charge level. This picture is observed when starting the engine; usually these attempts are unsuccessful. In such cases, the on-board computer cannot detect failures and errors, and therefore is not able to find the cause of the problem. The problem can be solved simply: just turn off the power to the vehicle's on-board network.

This can be done in several accessible ways

If, when switching the ignition key to the first position and then after starting the engine, only the warning lamp indicators light up (sensors and two small screens do not work), and de-energizing the system by removing the negative terminal of the battery does not help either - in this case, testing should be carried out to determine the operability of the electronic fees. This is not difficult to do. You need to turn off the ignition, press and hold the odometer reset button, turn on the ignition and release the button.

When the board is in good condition, the dashboard test will start, the essence of which is that all the arrows will begin the path from the start to the end mark and back. This should be repeated three times. If during the test one or more arrows are stationary or move with a freeze, there is obviously a problem with the circuit board.

In any case, eliminating problems with the instrument panel on a UAZ Patriot will require knowledge of electrical engineering and skills in working with electrical equipment.

UAZ Hunter electrical diagram

Today, not a single vehicle can do without an electrical component, so the electrical circuit of the UAZ Hunter has been repeatedly modernized and refined. The result of the designers' efforts was a full-fledged product that meets European safety and quality standards. It is no coincidence that the brand received praise from fans and connoisseurs after the appearance of an updated modification of the UAZ-315195, which complies with Euro-5 standards, in 2014.

The brainchild of the Ulyanovsk plant is still popular in the market today. Most owners value the car for its reliable and trouble-free design, which pleases with its survivability and ability to overcome off-road conditions.

general information

The wiring diagram of the UAZ Hunter is made according to the principle of one conductor, the second being the car body. Electrical circuits that control a power plant with several conductors are connected to the core only through the electronic unit. Communication with other consumers occurs through the ignition switch. The combination switch contains an interaction point and a mechanism that prevents theft. The circuit is safe because the on-board voltage does not exceed twelve volts.

The car console is equipped with devices for opening road lights and anti-fog lights. In addition, there are regulators for the operating mode of the electric fan of the stove. The following are combined into a single unit located on the switches under the steering wheel of the car: headlights, turn lamps, glass cleaners, and a cleaning fluid sprayer. Devices that consume more power are connected via electromagnet relays.
