Replacing the ignition lock on the Grant
Content
I think that many car owners have encountered such a problem when, with excessive effort when turning the key, it could remain in the ignition, or rather, its blade. In this case, you will have to replace the lock, since it is almost impossible to get the key.
On Grant, as on other front-wheel drive VAZ cars, the lock is attached to the steering shaft, and is fixed with tear-off bolts. This is done specifically for security purposes, so to speak, to prevent unauthorized access to your car.
To replace the lock, you will need the following tool:
- Phillips screwdriver
- Chisel narrow and sharp
- Hammer
- Key for 10
How to remove the ignition lock on Grant
In order to get to the structure of the ignition lock on the Lada Granta, it is necessary to remove the steering column cover. This can be done with a Phillips screwdriver.
After that, using a chisel and a hammer, we rip off the lock fastening bolts, as is clearly shown in the picture below.
When the caps are already loosened enough, you can unscrew them using long-nose pliers.
When all the bolts are unscrewed, we hold the lock and remove the clamp of its attachment to the shaft.
And the lock on the back.
Now you need to disconnect the two plugs with power wires from the lock, as clearly shown in the photo.
Installing the ignition switch
A new castle on Granta can be bought at a price of 1800 rubles. This is the cost of the kit with all the larvae of the doors and trunk lid. Installation is carried out in reverse order. We pre-install it on the shaft, and try on the casing so that the lock sits exactly along the hole. After that, you can finally tighten the mounting bolts.
It is necessary to screw up until the head of the bolt comes off when a certain moment of force is reached.
After that, you can install the casing in place, having previously connected all the power wires.
