The main malfunctions of the starter

When the starter is turned on, the starter motor does not work

The reasons for this may be the failure of the starter or traction relay, as well as a defect in the wires.

1. To detect a malfunction, you must first check for voltage at terminal 50 of the traction relay.

2. The absence of voltage when the starter is turned on indicates damage to the electrical circuit, and if voltage is present, a malfunction of the traction relay or starter.

3. If, when the starter is turned on, voltage is supplied to the traction relay, but it does not work (no characteristic click), then the traction relay is faulty (breakage of the winding or its short circuit to ground).

4. The presence of a characteristic click of the operation of the traction relay indicates the burning of the relay contacts or the failure of the starter itself.

5. You can check the operation of the starter motor by briefly applying voltage with an additional wire of large cross section to the contact of the traction relay from the side of the electric motor.

6. If the electric motor starts to work, then the cause of the malfunction should be sought in the traction relay.

The starter rotates slowly and does not start the engine

The reasons for this may be a discharged battery, too thick oil is poured into the engine lubrication system, graphite brushes are not pressed enough against the starter motor commutator, poor condition of the commutator working surface and worn starter bearings.

When the ignition key is released from position "engine starting" starter keeps running

The reasons for this may be sticking of the contacts of the traction relay or the ignition switch does not open the starter circuit. In this case, immediately turn off the ignition and disconnect the battery, and then eliminate the malfunction.

Windshield wiper

Replacing the rubber wiper blade

1. Set the wiper arm together with the brush to a vertical position.

2. Rotate the brush to a position perpendicular to the lever.



3. Press the latch (1) and slide the brush out of the hook down the lever. Move the brush to the side along the lever and remove it from the lever up (2 - hole through which the brush is removed from the lever).

4. From the closed side of the rubber brush, squeeze both steel bars together with pliers, remove from the side of the outer clamps, then remove the rubber brush together with the bars from the remaining clamps.


5. Install a new rubber brush without mounting bars in one of the wiper clips.

6. Insert both tires into the rubber brush so that the grooves on the tires look at the rubber and coincide with the rubber tabs.

7. Compress both steel tires and rubber together with pliers and install them in other clamps so that the protrusions on the clamps on both sides fit into the locking grooves of the rubber brush.

8. Install the wiper blade on the lever and lower it onto the glass.

9. Check the tightness of the brush against the glass.

Removal and installation of the screen wiper lever

1. Open the hood.



2. Remove the plastic cap from the lever mounting nut and unscrew the nut.



3. Mark the position of the levers and remove the wiper arm from the shaft.

Removal and installation of a screen wiper of a windscreen

1. Remove the wiper arms.

2. Remove ventilation grille.

3. Disconnect the electrical connector from the engine.



4. Unscrew 8 bolts "Torx" fastening the engine and the wiper mechanism to the bulkhead of the engine compartment (1 - two screws are located in front of the wiper motor, 2 - three screws near the right arm, 3 - two screws near the left arm, one bolt is located between the wiper arms).



5. Remove wiper mechanism and motor (the arrows indicate the mounting points of the wiper motor).

6. Disconnect the rods from the axes of the levers and the crank mechanism.

Attention! The mechanism rods are connected to its cranks by means of nylon ball pins. The fingers should be carefully removed with a lever and inserted after coating with graphite grease.

7. Unscrew the mounting bolt and remove the crank.

8. Unscrew the three screws and remove the motor from the bracket.

9. To install the windshield wiper, follow the steps in reverse order with respect to the removal process.
