If you are faced with the fact that your wipers on your VAZ 2114 are working slowly, do not worry. Many motorists have to deal with this problem; the problem lies in the mechanism used; it often fails. This is evidenced by numerous reviews from the owners of this model, and the reasons for the breakdown can be very diverse. Often products stop working due to imperfect design. Be sure that you will be able to modify the wipers of the VAZ 2114.
Frequent causes of breakdown
If you want to have fast wipers on your VAZ 2114, then you should figure out what causes the breakdown. The system on a car quickly wears out and becomes unusable, it is worth considering the main causes of breakdowns:
- A short circuit occurs in the winding, which is why it is worth carefully monitoring the operation of the structure. If you notice that the winding is worn out, then the best solution would be to replace it.
- The system levers have failed, this directly affects the operation of the wipers, in particular the speed.
- The problem may be that the brushes themselves are simply frozen to the glass; this often happens in winter. Therefore, in winter it is worth monitoring your brushes more carefully.
- Problems with power cords cause products to malfunction due to lack of power.
- Our roads are not blessed with the absence of stones, so it is worth checking whether a stone or other foreign object has entered the system. It is better to avoid such problems, since a foreign body can not only slow down the wipers, but also cause serious damage.

How to solve a problem?
If you are thinking about how to increase the speed of the VAZ 2114 wipers, then you should look at the root of the problem. And the main reason lies precisely in the motor of the mechanism and the trapezoid of the structure. If you do not pay attention to your wipers for at least a couple of months, then as a result you will notice a decrease in the speed of their operation.
To prevent such a problem, it is necessary to take care of the mechanism in a timely manner, and to take care of it correctly.
To return the structure to the required speed, you will need to disassemble the mechanism, clean the motor, or you can sand it with sandpaper. It is also worth lubricating the hinges that are located between the slats. If such care does not help, then all that remains is to replace the product or take the car to a service center.
How to speed up wipers in intermittent mode?
If you are wondering how to make wipers faster on a VAZ 2114, then you should turn to the features of the wipers. This car has 3 wiper modes, namely intermittent, fast and normal.
Intermittent and normal modes imply movement of the brushes at the same speed, which is slightly less than in fast mode. You can set the speed in intermittent mode to be maximum, but in this case it will decrease in fast mode. In fact, to do this you need to swap the wires in the connector to which the wipers are connected. In order to determine which wires to change, it is worth looking at the diagrams.

Are you faced with the fact that your VAZ-2109 wipers are working slowly? It doesn’t matter, this problem haunts many motorists. A careless mechanism, which only yesterday worked like a clock, has a stupid habit of slowly and inexorably breaking down. This unpleasant feature of cars of this brand has already managed to annoy all owners of the VAZ model 2109, if you believe the reviews of the majority of domestic motorists.
There can be a huge number of reasons for this, and it is not always due to driver negligence. Windshield wipers often fail due to banal technical imperfections in the design of everyone's favorite VAZ. But you shouldn’t scold the manufacturers prematurely and go to a car service center. Speeding up a worn-out mechanism with your own hands is simple and anyone can do it.

Common causes of malfunction
Why did the wipers start working slowly? This question is asked most often among VAZ owners. It just so happens that almost all cars of the 2109 model suffer from this disease. So why do the wipers not work? Why does the system wear out so quickly? Below is a list of the most common windshield wiper problems:
- Damage to system levers. Even a slight change in the shape of these parts can affect the speed of the mechanism.
- Faulty power cords. If there is not enough electricity supplied to the system, it is no wonder that it will slow down.
- Foreign objects in the mechanism. Any pebble or blade of grass that accidentally gets into the device can cause serious damage, not to mention slowdown.
- The blades are frozen to the windshield. In winter, you need to pay especially close attention to the mechanism if you do not want to tear off its frozen parts from the glass.
- Short circuit in the winding or excessive contamination of parts. The structure must be carefully monitored; it must be cleaned from time to time and the winding changed if necessary.
Disassembling the gearbox
If the wiper does not work due to contamination of the gearbox, then it will not be difficult to clean it. But under no circumstances should you unscrew the adjusting screw installed in it - otherwise you will most likely not be able to properly restore the armature clearance later.
The procedure is as follows:
- remove the protective panel from the gearbox;
- remove the gear;
- take out the cage nuts, having first unscrewed two bolts;
- The gear housing is disconnected together with the brush holder from the motor;
- the anchor is removed and cleaned with a compressor.
Removing the rear wiper generally follows the same algorithm, but you will also have to remove the door trim to get to the wires and other elements.
True problems and ways to solve them
The mechanism’s motor and the windshield wiper trapezoid itself are the main pitfalls of this malfunction. Once you forget about them for just a couple of months, the wipers begin to slow down, gradually becoming unusable. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to find out about this problem. You can learn how to properly and promptly care for a car only by facing all its shortcomings face to face or by asking your friends, at worst.
The thing is that without timely cleaning and lubrication, both parts quickly wear out and eventually refuse to work. Trapezium malfunctions lead in frequency of occurrence. Either the hinges begin to jam, or the strips bend for unknown reasons. However, the motor is also not far behind. Coupled with the loss of voltage due to damage to the wires, the part causes many problems, sometimes forcing an inattentive driver to buy a new one if he does not check the serviceability of the electrical wiring.
So what can you do to return your wipers to their former speed?
The answer is simple: disassemble the mechanism, clean and sand the motor with sandpaper, lubricate the hinges located between the trapezoid bars - that’s all.
Unfortunately, if this does not help, and you have not found any other faults, only replacing parts or a trip to the service center can help you. However, replacing the notorious trapezoid or motor solves the problem in most cases.
