The ignition lock seems like a fairly simple device, but when it fails, the car's engine will be very difficult to start. But there are good news: the ignition lock and the contact group on the VAZ 2110 can be repaired or make a complete replacement. The main thing is to know some nuances of this process. It is about them that we will tell in this article.
Causes of replacement
- The ignition key after turning and starting the engine is not returned to its original position, it is necessary to rotate back manually.
- The castle larva is completely worn, the ignition key began to stick in it.
- There was an attempt at the car's hijacking by hacking the ignition lock.
- The ignition key and all its duplicates were lost.
- The contact group of the ignition castle failed.
When the ignition lock breaks, bad contacts in it do not allow the engine to start. However, the reason does not always happen in the castle. Problems may occur in the contact group (very often the contacts are oxidized in it).
To understand that the cause of problems is in the group, and not in the castle, a simple test should be carried out. It is necessary to remove the negative terminal from the battery, remove the lower casing on the steering column, turn off all the contacts there and check them with an ohmmeter, while turning the ignition key in 3 working positions. In all these positions, the mesmer should show zero. If it shows any value - there is a problem with the contact group, which will have to be changed.

We change the contact group
If during the test it turned out that the contact group is faulty, the sequence of actions will be as follows.
As can be seen from this article, replacing the ignition castle is easy. The main thing is to remember that the most vulnerable place of this node is not the contacts at all, but plastic latches on the lid of the castle. Flexing them, in no case should not make much effort, since they are very fragile. If the latches are broken, you will have to buy a new ignition castle, since the covers from such locks are very rarely sold separately.
