VAZ 2104 interior tuning - methods, materials used, useful tips

The VAZ 2104 with rear-wheel drive and a station wagon body was produced from 1983 to 2012. The model was constantly improved: electrical equipment was changed, a fuel injection system, a five-speed gearbox and semi-sports front seats appeared. The VAZ 21043 modification was supplemented with a system for cleaning and heating the rear door window. Information on the diagrams is intended for self-repair of cars. Electrical circuits are divided into several blocks for ease of viewing via a computer or phone; there are also files in the form of a single picture with a description of each element - for printing on a printer.

Removing the instrument panel of a VAZ 2104

In order to begin work on changing the dashboard, work must be done to dismantle it. After removing the dashboard, perform the following work:

• We dismantle the devices and disassemble them, since only in this case can the installation of LEDs be carried out.
• Chrome rings around the perimeter act as a fixing element. You can bend the rings quite simply using a screwdriver.
• When bending the ring, it may be slightly damaged, but after assembling the structure this will not be visible.
• After the rings have been bent, they can be removed without much difficulty. The rings are made of soft material that is subject to mechanical stress.
• Once the chrome rings are removed, the glass, which acts as protection, can also be removed.
• On the back of the structure there are 2 nuts or screws that can be unscrewed and you can remove the device from their housing.
• After completing the above work, you can examine the visible part of the scale and black overlay. You can immediately notice that there is a small distance between them. This is where diodes can be placed to highlight basic information.

After the dismantling work has been completed, it will be possible to continue installing the LEDs.

Electrical supply diagram

These are the main components of the VAZ-2104 power supply system.

Its full diagram is presented below:

Note that initially only export models of the VAZ-2104 were equipped with this electrical equipment system. It became standard for the subsequent modification of the station wagon - 21043.

For comparison, below is a diagram of the electrical equipment of the VAZ-2105, which was standard for the first station wagon models:

The diagram shows that the first station wagons were not equipped with a rear window heating and cleaning system, headlight washers and cleaners, as well as their control mechanisms. The rest of the electrical circuit is identical.

The electrical circuit of the VAZ-2104 injector is different in that this car already uses electrical equipment borrowed from the VAZ-2107 injection model. This modification of the station wagon was designated VAZ-21047 and it was the last in the history of this car.

Scheme for VAZ-2104 injector

1 – electric motor of the engine cooling system fan; 2 – mounting block; 3 – idle speed regulator; 4 – electronic control unit; 5 – octane potentiometer; 6 – spark plugs; 7 – ignition module; 8 – crankshaft position sensor; 9 – electric fuel pump with fuel level sensor; 10 – tachometer; 11 – control lamp “CHECK ENGINE”; 12 – car ignition relay; 13 – speed sensor; 14 – diagnostic block; 15 – nozzle; 16 – adsorber purge valve; 17, 18, 19 – injection system fuses; 20 – ignition relay for the injection system; 21 – relay for turning on the electric fuel pump; 22 – intake pipe electric heater relay; 23 – electric heater of the intake pipe; 24 – intake pipe heater fuse; 25 – oxygen concentration sensor; 26 – coolant temperature sensor; 27 – throttle position sensor; 28 – air temperature sensor; 29 – absolute pressure sensor;

• A – to the “plus” terminal of the battery;
• B – to terminal “15” of the ignition switch;
• P4 – relay for turning on the fan motor.

Brake system VAZ 2104

1. Brake fluid level sensor built into the expansion tank cap;
2. Electronic mounting block in the engine compartment with terminal “A” to the generator;
3. Ignition relay with negative terminal to ground;
4. Ignition switch on the steering column;
5. Indicator lamp on the instrument panel indicating low brake fluid level;
6. Indicator lamp for activated parking brake.

What is needed to carry out work on changing the dashboard?

As previously noted, in this case we will consider a budget method of changing the dashboard. To perform the work you will need diode bulbs that are blue. When choosing them, you should pay attention to the following points:

• LEDs that are shaped like a funnel are most suitable for changing the design. This is due to the fact that this type of lens scatters light best throughout the structure.
• The blue color was chosen because such light creates a rather interesting effect - it seems that we are looking at a dashboard that is used on a foreign car. For example, white diodes do not create a similar effect.

At the same time, we note that for the dashboard you will need one small diode for small instruments, and for large ones, for example, a tachometer and a speedometer, you will need 4 standard diodes and one diode lamp. The diode lamp is quite large, but it is necessary to increase the readability of all information.

Why the tachometer 2107 does not work

The VAZ-2107 can have two types of engines: carburetor and injection. The electrical circuit for connecting tachometers in these cars is different from each other, and they are not interchangeable. Therefore, troubleshooting related to tachometer failure will differ depending on the engine type.

On a carburetor engine, three wires come from the tachometer. Two wires are the power (plus and minus), and the third is connected to terminal K of the ignition coil. In order to find out what caused the failure, you need to get to the back of the instrument cluster and disconnect the terminals from the block that goes to the tachometer. Next, you will need three wires to connect the tachometer directly to the battery (plus and minus) and to the ignition coil (terminal K). You start the engine, and if under such conditions the tachometer does not work, then the problem will have to be looked for either in the ignition system or in the tachometer itself, and if the tachometer starts working, then the fault lies in the wiring that goes to the tachometer.
