How to close the starter directly on the VAZ-2114

— can be useful to any car owner. The situation when you stop on the road for 5-10 minutes, and you can’t start the car, is very unpleasant. ! What to do in such a situation? It is then that knowledge of how to "short" the starter to start the car can come in handy.

Forced start of the starter by closing the contacts

In order to translate knowledge into practice, you will need the help of a partner (preferably) and a long screwdriver or wrench. The point is that the metal base of the tool needs to close the power contacts of the starter and apply voltage to its winding directly.

Before starting work, it is extremely important to check the gear lever. It must be in neutral. The handbrake lever should be raised and locked as much as possible.

There may be a spark

Alternative ways (if no key)

In addition to this method, there are several more. One of them involves starting the starter from the passenger compartment. To do this, you need to remove the plastic panel located under the steering wheel of the car. Separate the bundle of wires going to the ignition switch from it.

Steering column disassembly

First of all, we are interested in the wire going to ground (black or green, sometimes yellow with a black stripe). Correctly determine whether or not you can use a multimeter. To do this, the tip is connected to the one we are interested in, the second to the machine body. Zero on the device screen will confirm that this is the correct wire. Its stripped end is isolated and laid aside.

Power on a VAZ-2114 car is supplied with a red or yellow wire, but it is best to check this with a multimeter.

The one responsible for the starter is determined as follows: the power wire closes with the remaining ones. The one from which the mechanism will work and will be its supply wire.

The remaining beam is connected to the positive, after which it is struck by the “starter”. If correct, the engine should start. It is extremely important when starting in this way not to short the wires for a long time, as this will discharge very quickly.
