Lada Kalina rear door lock repair

Greetings to all blog readers, and today’s topic will be devoted to such a process as replacing the electric lock in the rear door on a Lada Kalina car. So far, unfortunately, we haven’t been able to demonstrate everything on the front door, but everything is ahead—we’ll definitely look at it in future articles.

So, to replace the internal door lock on Kalina, and specifically on the rear door, we will need the following tool:

1. Phillips screwdriver
2. 8 mm head
3. Ratchet handle or crank

Instructions for replacing the rear door lock on Kalina

1. The first step is to perform a procedure such as removing the rear door trim.
2. Also, for greater convenience, you can remove the door glass, although it is not necessary. But, again, I repeat, doing everything without glass is much more convenient.
3. When the glass is removed, from the inside of the door you need to get to the block with the connector and, pressing the latch, disconnect it.
4. Using a screwdriver, as well as light finger efforts, release the drive rods from the lock
5. From the end of the door, unscrew the three screws securing the lock.
6. From the inside we remove the lock from the door
7. Install the lock in reverse order

In order not to show off everything and to convey everything as clearly as possible, I tried to make a video review of this repair.

Removing the rear door trim

Regardless of the body configuration or year of manufacture, reinstallation and repair of locks and handles remains the same for hatchbacks and station wagons. The order of work differs when repairing the front and rear elements. The arrangement of the parts is considered simple, so it takes about 30 minutes to reinstall one element. For independent work you will need the following tool:

• crosshead screwdriver;
• flat screwdriver;
• knob;
• head at 8;
• extension;
• sharp knife or awl.

Front door

The procedure for performing the work necessary to remove and install the outer front door lever on the Lada Kalina:

1. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.
2. Remove the inner trim of the outside rear view mirror by first prying it off with a screwdriver.
3. Unscrew the locking lock.
4. Using an awl or sharp knife, remove the plug.
5. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the armrest mounting screw.
6. Pull the inner handle of the lock and unscrew the screw using a Phillips screwdriver.
7. Remove the inner lever.
8. Unscrew the armrest mounting bolt located in the niche.
9. Unscrew the two pocket screws.
10. Wrap a flat-head screwdriver in a rag and insert it between the trim and the door frame. Carefully pulling the screwdriver towards you, unclip the first clip that holds the trim. Also unclip all the other clips, there are 8 of them in total.
11. Carefully remove the trim from the iron door frame.
12. Disconnect the two wire connectors from the power window assembly.
13. Move the trim to the side.
14. Disassemble the lower link of the outer door handle drive.
15. Unscrew the handle fastening bolt located at the end; for this, use a 8-mm socket and a knob.
16. Disconnect the outer arm drive upper link.
17. Remove the faulty part and replace it with a new one.

Lubricate all moving parts of the lock drive and assemble everything in reverse order. Most often the tongue or pawl breaks. Experts do not recommend replacing the element separately; it is better to reinstall the entire assembly, since the lock rod loses its performance characteristics over time.

Backdoor

Step-by-step repair of the rear door handle:

1. Unscrew the locking lock.
2. Using a flat-head screwdriver, press out and move the window regulator lever lock to the side.
3. Remove the retainer and window lift lever from the shaft.
4. Unscrew the fastening screw by pulling the lock handle.
5. Remove the lock handle.
6. Remove the two plugs using a sharp knife.
7. Unscrew the two fastening screws that were under the plugs and remove the inner handle of the lock.
8. Wrap a flathead screwdriver with a rag or electrical tape. Slide it between the door trim and frame.
9. While pulling back the screwdriver, unclip the clips located along the perimeter of the casing one by one.
10. Remove the casing and set it aside.
11. Using a socket 8, a wrench, unscrew the nut that holds the handle on the inside of the door.
12. Using the same head with a knob, remove the bolt, which is located at the end.
13. Remove the old faulty part and replace it with a new one.

Lubricate all moving parts of the lock and reassemble in reverse order.

All of the above types of work can be done with your own hands, without resorting to expensive car service services. For repairs, you only need to buy a new handle and a set of clips for the door trim.

Video on replacing the rear door lock on Kalina

This guide was made using the example of a 2011 car, so if any nuances or inaccuracies arise that could cause you doubts, keep in mind the year of manufacture of the car.

If you have any questions on this topic, or have something to add to this material, do not forget to leave comments below. I forgot to say about the cost of the new part. And the price for a lock for Kalina’s back door ranges from 850 to 1200 rubles.

The problem with the door locks was discovered immediately after purchasing the car. And if the locks of the front doors were well developed after some time, the rear ones were not developed at all... Moreover, the lock of the right rear door often jammed and blocked the door when trying to open it from the outside. I had to manually lift the lock button... Traditional solutions in this case were hopeless. Neither lubricating the locks nor adjusting the hinges helped. The door locks needed to be replaced with new ones. In Togliatti I bought rear door locks from Valeo

. Although, in my opinion, they were installed exactly the same from the factory. But be that as it may, the new locks, when tested in the store, worked clearly and smoothly.

Replacing the larva in Kalina

First of all, replacing the lock elements means that the door trim will be completely missing. Therefore, first we will figure out how to dismantle the trim on Lada Kalina cars. The second chapter is devoted to how to remove the larva and install a new one in its place. The last step will actually be the simplest.

Removing the door trim yourself

The casing is attached not only to screws, but also to plastic pistons. The number of screws holding the part in question is four:

Numbers here indicate all fastening elements. But to get to them, you need to remove the screw cap “3”, as well as the inner door handle. The pawl handle also needs to be unscrewed.

If these actions are completed successfully, the casing begins to be dismantled, moving it away from the metal. Dismantling is carried out starting from any of the corners, but care must be taken: the pistons holding the plastic are fragile.

How to dismantle the lock to replace the cylinder?

You can gain access to the lock mechanism by removing the plastic upholstery inside the luggage compartment. This protective component is fixed by means of two bolts, which are located in the places where the special handle is installed. They are also called latch caps. They are pryed off with an ordinary screwdriver.

Structurally, the trunk lock in the Lada Kalina is made of two parts, regardless of the body type, hatchback, station wagon or sedan. They are presented in the form of a cylinder and the unlocking mechanism itself. If it is necessary to replace the trunk lock, then the dismantling of these components is carried out in a separate order.

Recommendations from the magazine “Behind the Wheel”

Let’s turn again to the “Behind the Wheel” review, which discusses how to remove door locks in a VAZ-1118 Kalina. If the casing has been dismantled, this is not bad. Next, according to the recommendations, unscrew the screw securing the inner handle:

The door handle is attached here

The lock mechanism is connected to two rods made in the form of rods. Both of them are dismantled by disconnecting the plastic clips:

Disconnect the rods from the lock

To disengage the latch, press on the plastic tab with a screwdriver.

At the last step, as you might guess, all that remains is to unscrew the screws holding the mechanism motionless.

Three screws, cross head

But first, you need to dismantle the external handle. To do this, unscrew two bolts equipped with an “8” hex head.

Two bolts hold the handle

By the way, if the central locking connector is attached to the mechanism module, it is also disconnected.

Central lock connector built into the module

Let the wiring harness for the central locking drive remain in the door.

Of course, all door locks must be unlocked with one key, which is supposed to be used in the future.

The work indicated here is carried out on each of the four doors. In addition, it is very desirable that the ignition key also unlocks the doors. However, replacing the cylinder on the steering column will not be so easy. Can you handle the total amount of work that needs to be done? Decide for yourself.

How is the activator installed?

The only way to get inside the trunk of a Lada Kalina is this manipulation - turn the key and press the button. This action is not always associated with convenience. For example, in bad weather or when your hands are full, this is not easy to do. This circumstance prompts owners to consider purchasing and installing an activator. Installing this useful element is quite simple. Here you will need a self-tapping screw, which will secure the device we are considering. To check the functionality of the activator, you should connect it with the standard connector from the on-board network.

After the current supply to the activator is stopped, the door is locked with the first latch, but remains not completely closed. To get back inside the luggage compartment you will need to use the key.

Installing a push-button lock is not a very difficult task. To implement it, you will need to assemble a circuit, which requires wiring. Here you will need to “attract” the programmable channel present in the alarm.

You can connect the device using two options.

1. We connect the button with the positive output of the activator (12 V), bypassing the relay. The advantage of this scheme is the absence of unnecessary components and simple connection. As a negative aspect, it should be noted the need to lay additional wire lines.
2. The second method is more labor-intensive. Here you will need to use additional components (diodes). You also need to find the ground connection point. The main advantage is the need for a minimum number of wire lines.

Experts prefer the first method because it is simpler. For switching, you can use copper wire type PV-3, the cross-section of which is 1 mm2. Laying should be done on the left side along the thresholds. You can connect by means of a clamp and subsequent wrapping with electrical tape.

Electric drive: easy installation

The manipulation algorithm is very simple. Here you will need to make the rotary plate together with the rod yourself. The wiring is laid directly to the lock and connected to a special control unit. When the car is “disarmed”, the electric drive of the luggage lock is activated following the unlocking of the button responsible for opening the rear door of the Lada Kalina.

The whole essence of the action comes down to connecting the electric lock to two cable lines. You can buy the product at a specialized retail outlet. The end of the luggage compartment will need to be hidden in order to prevent the risk of moisture getting into it. If this is neglected, then with the penetration of water a short circuit will be observed in the designated area.

Much attention should be paid to the area near the door hinges, because broken wires are a common occurrence here. To prevent this, it is recommended to regularly monitor this section of the highway.

Before starting the procedure for installing the electric drive in a Lada Kalina car, you will need to remove the plastic trim. Here you need to be careful not to damage the specified protective element.

The choice of a lock for LADA Kalina should mean that there is no subsequent need for modifications before installation. This means drilling additional holes.

An important point in the installation procedure is the laying of electrical lines. For these purposes, you will need about 3.5 m of appropriate cable. You can use standard wiring suitable for the rear door. The power source can be a cigarette lighter socket. It is also important to install the fuse correctly.

We do all switching in LADA Kalina in accordance with the diagram.

Important! The main line in this version may include a wire that goes to the courtesy lamp for lighting the space inside the trunk.

Dear customers, in order to avoid mistakes when sending the trunk lid lock with electric drive to the VAZ 1118 Lada Kalina, Kalina 2, Priora, in the “Comment” line, indicate the model of your car, year of manufacture.

A lock is a mechanical, electronic or combined locking device. It is used to lock doors and other door structures used in the car, as well as to ensure their blocking in order to prevent the theft of objects from the vehicle interior. Depending on the operating principle of the drive, mechanical and electronic locks are distinguished.

A car lock is designed to close doors, hood, trunk and prevent unauthorized access to the car. A modern lock is an important element of a car's passive safety system.

The trunk lock 1118-5606010-10 with an electric drive (activator) ensures automatic opening of the trunk lid of Lada Kalina / VAZ 1117, 1118, 1119, Lada Kalina 2, Lada Priora Hatchback / VAZ 2172, which significantly simplifies the life of the driver of this vehicle.

The automatic trunk opening function is a fairly new option, the existence of which most car owners of new car models are just beginning to get used to.

Structurally, the electronic lock of the trunk lid assembly in the car Lada Kalina / VAZ 1117, 1118, 1119, Lada Priora Hatchback / VAZ 2172, Lada Kalina 2 combines mechanical and electronic parts.

The mechanical part ensures the implementation of basic functions: closing, opening, locking, unlocking. The electronic part is represented by various electronic control systems for the mechanical part - central locking, remote control, intelligent access system.

The mechanical part of the lock has a different design depending on the manufacturer, car model, and door type. At the same time, the following general structure of a car lock can be distinguished: locking, lever and locking mechanisms.

The locking mechanism of car locks of different brands, as a rule, has a different design. When the door is closed, depending on the design of the vehicle, the rotary latch engages behind the lock holder bracket. The locking pawl secures the position of the rotary latch using a locking notch. The design of the dog has two fixing recesses - the main one and the additional one. In the main recess of the pawl, the rotary latch is located when the door is completely closed.

The locking mechanism locks and unlocks the vehicle. The essence of the lock is to deactivate the lever mechanism, i.e. does not allow the door mechanism to be opened using the handle. For the most part, the external drive is blocked. The locking mechanism has two types of drive - mechanical and electromechanical, which are implemented in parallel to each other. A mechanical drive connects the lock cylinder to the locking mechanism and allows you to lock (unlock) the lock using a physical key.

The mechanical drive duplicates the electromechanical design of the drive. The electromechanical drive of the locking mechanism combines an electric motor and a worm gearbox built into the lock body. The electric motor in the drive design is the actuator of the central locking system. The electromechanical drive converts the rotational movement of the electric motor into the translational movement of the locking lever, which locks the lock lever mechanism.

The essence of the operation of the activator (electric drive), which makes it possible to achieve such a result, is, in principle, not complicated: when someone presses the corresponding button in the car interior, the trunk lid lock is activated through this part, as a result of which it opens.

It’s a small thing, but it makes life so much easier for vehicle owners, especially during the cold season (the keyhole freezes). This device is compatible with a standard (mechanical) lock, which means that when opening the luggage compartment lid, you can use two methods simultaneously, which, by the way, increases resistance to burglary.

When using the trunk lid lock of a VAZ 1118 Lada Kalina, Priora, Kalina 2 with electric drive, the luggage compartment can be opened using the remote control key fob button, or using a button mounted in the luggage compartment lid.

The trunk lid lock 1118-5606010-10 with electric drive for Lada Kalina, Priora, Kalina 2 is certainly a useful and necessary thing, but only if its installation is justified.
