Knowledge of diagnostics of faults with high beam headlights in VAZ cars, as well as the ability to eliminate them, will be useful to the driver in any situation. This is especially important during long journeys.
Volzhsky Automobile Plant
AvtoVAZ is the most famous car brand in Russia. The plant, built with the help of Italian specialists in 1966, produced more than a dozen car models that are widely known outside of Russia and are deservedly in demand among motorists due to their low prices and unpretentious maintenance.
Causes of non-working high beam
Every car has breakdowns, the ability to diagnose them and make quick repairs will help make life easier and get out of a difficult situation for any driver. There are several reasons for the inoperative high-beam headlights of the VAZ brand: failure of the high-beam bulb, inoperative fuse, high-beam relay, wiring malfunction.
High beam lamp
The high beam lamp is designed to illuminate the road at night. The reasons for its inoperability lie in the combustion of the filament, which is checked "against the light" of the glass bulb of the lamp. It is also possible the appearance of oxidation in the "socket" of the installed lamp, for the operability it is necessary to clean it from the formed oxidation.
Fuse
The fuse is designed to protect electrical circuits and car wiring from high currents. If this malfunction is detected, you need to replace the failed fuse, and install the type of fuse recommended by the car manufacturer VAZ. Also, the cause of an inoperative fuse can be the presence of oxidation in the "landing" socket of the fuse, which is treated by sanding. Frequent failure of the high beam fuses indicates that the lamps are not of the same rated power as recommended by the car manufacturer, and because of this, the fuses overheat.
High beam relay
The main beam relay is used to smoothly switch on the load on consumers with high current, i.e. so that the lamps do not receive high currents. Repair requires replacement of the relay.
Electrical wiring
Electrical wiring is designed to supply electrical current to the consumer, in this case, high beam lamps. Problems with electrical wiring, partial lack of insulation, overheating of the wiring due to incorrectly installed fuses can cause a fire in the car, and you need to monitor the wiring as carefully as for the rest of the mechanisms and devices of the car.
Important! The inoperative high beam in conditions of insufficient visibility does not allow the driver to safely drive the car, and if problems arise with the high beam headlights on a VAZ car, knowledge of repair and diagnostics will help to quickly and effectively eliminate the problems that have arisen.
