Fortunately, the perplexity of why the cooling fan of the VAZ 2114 does not work arises among users much less often than among the owners of other machines - brothers in lineup... However, unfortunately, it is impossible to say that such a situation is completely unimaginable. It happens, and there is no getting away from it.
On the other hand, any machine is a complex unit. There is always something to break or be capricious. So, noticing that the arrow showing the temperature of your engine is confidently creeping into the red zone and is not going to stop, throw off the gas, turn on the full fan in the cabin and look for the nearest hole where you can park your iron horse.
It's not worth joking with overheating: seized pistons are a complete overhaul that will hurt your budget and nerves.
Related articles:Why the cooling fan VAZ 2114 does not work- there may be several reasons. It is worth checking them in order to reduce the degree of probability: the more often a given breakdown occurs, the closer to the top of the list the object being checked is.
"Salon" checks
Let's start with what you can examine without leaving your car.
2 fuses are responsible for the standard operation of the fan. One of them also controls the operation of the dial tone, so checking its viability is elementary: beep and listen. There is a sound - we forget about this fuse. No - we climb into mounting block and looking for the one that is indicated F5(at 20 amperes). Before you put a fresh one in place of the burned one, it will be useful to inquire why the previous one burned down. Otherwise, the new one awaits the fate of its predecessor in a very short future.
With a second fuse it's not easy to figure it out. To check it, you will have to dismantle the torpedo skin on the passenger side. Under it are hiding 3 relays, accompanied by their own bodyguard-fuse. We need the one that is average. It is pulled out and checked for integrity. If it burns out, before installing a new one, you will again need to find the cause of the breakdown. By the way, it will be good in this case if you have a spare (both for checking and for replacing a burnt-out part).
If this fuse is working, we check the adjacent relay. It is impossible to determine whether it is alive or not without an ohmmeter; we can only suggest replacing it with a new one (then you need to carry it with you in reserve) and check if the fan will work. In any case, it is worth checking the state of the contacts on the relay and, if necessary, cleaning them.
If no breakdowns are found inside the car, you will have to get out of it and look for the reasons by opening the hood.
Hood checks
Leaving the car and lifting the lid, we proceed to more serious actions.
- The block is disconnected, on which the wires leading to the electric motor on the motor cooling fan are attached;
- With a pair of free wires, the motor is closed to the battery. This will give us a clear picture: if the fan starts spinning, then we have a problem with the temperature sensor, if it remains motionless, the motor burned out.
What to do?
This subsection is so named because professional auto mechanics strongly disagree that fan problems may have something to do with the part listed below. Meanwhile, the owners of VAZs insist that following these instructions significantly (and positively) affects the cooling system in general and the operation of its fan in particular.
Probably, the subtlety is still not in the lid itself, but in the etching valve, which reduces the pressure, which has reached critical values. But how the work of the fan depends on it is a mystery covered in darkness. But acting! If you have already checked everything that is possible, but still do not understand why the cooling fan of the VAZ 2114 does not work, try to follow the advice of experienced ones and replace the cover - it will suddenly help.
The fan is used to generate air currents that are directed to the motor radiator. This is necessary in order to cool the liquid that circulates through it.
If the car is moving at high speed, the fan is not particularly required, since the motor receives all the necessary cooling from the oncoming air flows. But when the car goes into slow or idle mode with the engine running, the propeller role becomes indispensable.
Searched device
Turning on occurs after the corresponding signal is sent from the electronic control unit. The ECU, in turn, learns about the need to turn on the fan from the temperature sensor. The switch-on threshold is 103-105 degrees Celsius.
In the case of the VAZ 2114, the fan (propeller) is located in the engine compartment on the back of the radiator.
Why doesn't it work
There are several reasons why the propeller may not turn on when the temperature situation requires it:
- The fan electric motor, that is, the drive, is out of order;
- A fuse has broken and has blown;
- Relay failed;
- Broken wiring;
- Sensor connectors have lost contacts;
- The sensor is out of order.
Finding a malfunction
|
Problem search area |
Explanation |
|
Propeller check |
Disconnects the connector on the propeller and connects directly to the battery. If the fan is running, the drive is fine. If the propeller still does not spin, the problem is in the electric motor. |
|
Wiring and Contacts |
If the propeller does not work, it is imperative to check the condition of the wiring and make sure that the sensor contacts are working |
|
Fuse |
You can find these two elements in the engine compartment on the left, closer to the driver, inside the mounting block. The fan has a fuse marked F4 with a rated current of 20A. The check can be done by pressing the horn button. Why? Because it is also connected to this fuse. Or check with a tester |
|
Located in the same place as the fuse. For an effective test, it is best to take a relay that you are 100% sure of its performance, install it in place of the old one and check |
|
|
To test the sensor, disconnect power from the sensor. If it works, the propeller will start working at emergency mode, that is, it will blow constantly. Disconnect the connector and turn on the ignition. If the propeller spins, then the sensor is broken. Need a replacement |
When to change
If the fan itself is the cause of all the problems, it is not necessary to change it, since in some cases it can be repaired. Failures are often associated with the bearing or brushes.
If the cause of the breakdown is the failure of the electric motor due to a break in the wiring or a short circuit, you should not risk repairing it. It is easier and better to replace the entire drive.
Open circuit test
If you drive a car that does not have a cooling propeller, it will overheat the coolant and destroy the pipes, rubber elements, the master block gasket and the valve cover. Not far from the destruction of the components of the piston group.
Fuse
It is strictly forbidden to operate a car with a broken fan.
The price of the issue
Before tackling the problem with a radiator propeller not working, it is important for many to know about the cost of components and labor.
The new element will cost today about 1.5-2.5 thousand rubles, depending on the model and region. Station replacement cost Maintenance will be from 400 rubles and more. Although it is not necessary to spend money on this, since self replacement will take you no more than half an hour. Yes, and there is nothing particularly complicated here.

Replacement
In order to replace the fan cooling propeller with your own hands, you need a fairly small set of tools, which include:
- Crosshead screwdriver;
- Socket wrench 8 mm;
- 10 mm socket wrench.
If you are ready, then let's get started.
- Place the vehicle on a level surface, turn on hand brake... Just in case, you can put additional supports under the wheels of your VAZ 2114. Precautions never go wrong.
- Raise the hood, disconnect from battery negative terminal.
- Using a 10 mm wrench, the fasteners of the air filter housing are dismantled.
- Using a screwdriver, loosen the clamp from the air duct located on the MAF sensor. So you will be able to remove the corrugation. Do it.
- The air filter housing cover has self-tapping screws that hold it in place. They are unscrewed with a screwdriver, after which the filter component is removed from its seat.
- Now take an 8 mm key and use it to dismantle the air intake fasteners, and then remove the air intake itself.
- Now with a key of 10 and 8 millimeters, the fastening nuts on the fan casing are removed along the entire perimeter. There you will find a total of 6 nuts.
- Disconnect the connector from the wire from the connector of your broken fan.
- Remove the fan shroud, while grasping the drive, that is, the electric motor.
- Armed with a 10 mm wrench, you need to dismantle the three mounting bolts that hold the electric motor on the casing.
- Install the new fan in place of the old device.
- We return all fasteners to their places, connect the connectors, and carry out the assembly in the reverse order.
After installing new equipment, be sure to turn on the engine and let it run for a while. Until the fan turns on and the propeller starts spinning. This will take no more than 5 minutes. Soon, the fan should shut down by itself. If it does not stop, turn off the engine. Repeat the experiment.
It rarely turns out that after replacement the fan still does not work. Even if this happened, this is due to two possible events - other elements of the cooling system were damaged, or you purchased a non-working fan. Alas, given the number of fakes on the market, the second option cannot be ruled out.
All the main wiring diagrams and modifications of the connection of the cooling fan (VO) of the liquid in VAZ cars of various models are given. What is the essence of VO work? Electrical engine with an impeller on the shaft, it is installed inside a rectangular metal frame, with which it is attached to the back of the radiator. When voltage (12 V) is applied to the drive contacts, it starts to work, rotating the blades and creating a directed air stream, which, in fact, cools the antifreeze or antifreeze.
If the cooling fan does not work, do not rush to contact a car service. You can also determine the cause of the malfunction yourself. Moreover, for this it is not at all necessary to have special skills - just study the reference material from site and follow the instructions to check / replace it.

Also, until 1998, the TM-108 switch-on sensor was used (the closing temperature of its contacts is 99 ± 3 ° C, the opening temperature is 94 ± 3 ° C), after 1998 TM-108-10 with similar temperature ranges or its counterparts from different manufacturers. The TM-108 sensor works only in tandem with a relay, reinforced for high current TM-108-10 can work with or without a relay.

Where is the fan relay
4 - electric fan relay;
5 - electric fuel pump relay;
6 - main relay (ignition relay).
Attention: the order of relays and fuses can be arbitrary, we are guided by the color of the wires. Therefore, we find a relay from which a thin pink wire with a black stripe extends from the main relay (pin 85 *) (not to be confused with a thin red wire with a black stripe coming from the controller) and a thick white power wire with a black stripe (pin 87) (white and pink wires we need), this is the fan relay.
If the cooling fan is not working
An electric motor is installed to drive the fan direct current excited by permanent magnets ME-272 or similar. Technical data of the electric fan and the sensor for switching on the fan:
- Rated speed of the shaft of the electric motor with the impeller, 2500 - 2800 rpm.
- Power consumption of the electric motor, 14 A
- The temperature of the sensor contacts closure, 82 ± 2 degrees.
- Opening temperature of the sensor contacts, 87 ± 2 degrees.
The cooling fan may not turn on due to:
- malfunctions of the electric drive;
- blown fuse;
- faulty thermostat;
- a failed thermal sensor for turning on the cooler;
- faulty VO relay;
- breakage of electrical wiring;
- faulty expansion tank plug.
To check the VAZ fan motor itself, we apply a 12 V voltage from the battery to its terminals - a working motor will start working. If the problem is with the fan, you can try to repair it. The problem usually lies in the brushes or bearings. But it happens that the electric motor fails due to a short circuit or breakage in the windings. In such cases, it is best to replace the entire drive.
The VO fuse is located in the mounting block of the car's engine compartment and is designated F7 (20 A). The test is carried out using a vehicle tester, included in the probe mode.
- In a car with a carburetor engine it is necessary to check the sensor - turn on the ignition and short-circuit the two wires going to the sensor. The fan should turn on. If it doesn't, the problem is definitely not with the sensor.
- For injection cars it is necessary to warm up the motor to operating temperature, and disconnect the sensor connector by disconnecting it from on-board network cars. In this case, the controller must start the fan in emergency mode. The electronic unit perceives this as a failure in the cooling system, and forces the fan drive to run continuously. If the drive starts, the sensor is faulty.
Replacing the electric fan in the car
- We put the car on a flat surface, immobilize it with the parking brake.
- We open the hood, turn off the negative terminal.
- Using a 10 key, unscrew the fasteners of the air filter housing.
- Use a screwdriver to loosen the air duct clamp on the air flow sensor and remove the corrugation.
- We unscrew the self-tapping screws securing the cover of the air filter housing, remove the filter element.
- Using the 8 key, unscrew the air intake mount and dismantle it.
- With a key for 10, then for 8, unscrew the nuts securing the fan casing around the perimeter (6 pieces in total).
- Disconnect the wiring block on the fan connector.
- Carefully remove the fan casing together with the drive.
- Using a 10 key, unscrew the 3 bolts holding the electric motor on the casing.
- We put a new one in its place.
- We put the structure in place, fix it, connect the connector.
- Further installation is carried out in the reverse order.
Modernization of the control scheme
The cooling fan turns on at a dozen at a temperature of 100-105 ° C, while normal operating
the temperature of the engine is 85-90 ° C, the fan turns on when the engine overheats, which naturally has a negative effect.
This problem can be solved in two ways: adjust the switching temperature in the "brains" or make a button. We will focus on the second. Turning on the fan from the button is very convenient: got into a jam - turned it on, left - turned it off, and nobody overheats.
A button for selecting the fan operating mode was installed in the cabin (permanently disabled, permanently on, automatically switched on by means of a sensor) - this "tuning" is not mandatory, but it will be a very useful addition.
There will be a large current on the relay contacts 87, 30, on the wire from the battery to the fuse and the fan mass, and therefore we must use wires with a cross section of at least 2 mm, otherwise the thinner wire will not withstand and burn out.

On the VAZ model 2114, the injector uses an electric fan in the cooling system, which is turned on by a signal from the corresponding temperature sensor.
This unit often fails, which requires both the replacement of the fan itself and the various components that control its operation. We will tell you in more detail why the cooling fan on the VAZ 2114 does not turn on and how to repair your car.
Malfunction symptoms
It is possible to determine the presence of a problem in the operation of the cooling system fan by a rapid increase in the temperature of the coolant. On dashboard car, a corresponding warning message appears about an increase in the coolant temperature. The car owner should turn off the engine and wait until it cools down, after which you can carefully continue driving. Remember that it is not recommended to operate the car with such an inoperative fan, as there is a risk of damage to the cylinder head, which invariably forces time-consuming and expensive repairs.
Such breakdowns can also be identified by visual inspection of the radiator and fan. If, with a significant increase in the temperature of the coolant, the fan does not turn on, this may indicate the presence of various breakdowns of this unit.
Reasons for fan failure maybe several:
- Damage to the temperature sensor.
- Lost contact at the temperature sensor connector.
- Broken electrical wiring.
- Relay problems.
- Fuse blown.
- Fan motor drive malfunction.
Required tool
The choice of the tool used will directly depend on the nature of the breakdown. Often it is enough to open the relay box and replace the blown fuse with a new one, which will allow the fan to work again. Whereas in case of significant breakdowns, when the VAZ 2114 cooling fans do not turn on, it is necessary to dismantle the radiator, remove the fan, or change the relay and the corresponding temperature sensors.
To remove the fan you will need:
- Crosshead screwdriver.
- Socket wrenches for 8 and 10
Step-by-step work algorithm
In each case, the repair of the fan will differ depending on the existing breakdown. It is necessary to carry out the appropriate diagnostics, which will determine why the radiator cooling fan does not turn on in time on the VAZ 2114, which will simplify subsequent repairs.
First of all, it is recommended to disconnect the fan connector, then, observing the polarity, reconnect the connector directly to the battery terminal. In the event that, with such a direct connection, the fan starts to rotate, this indicates a working drive, and the reason in this case may be in the wiring, a faulty temperature sensor, or problems with the fuse.
You can check the fuse responsible for the operation of the cooling fan without opening the plastic box. The fact is that such a relay is double and at the same time is responsible for the operation of the horn. Therefore, if the car's sound signal disappears and the fan does not work at the same time, this indicates a blown fuse. The block with such relays is located under the hood in a small plastic box. To open it, you need to remove two latches, after which we take out with tweezers and change the fuse you need.
It is difficult to diagnose relay breakdowns. We can recommend that you get a 100% working relay, temporarily install it in the socket and check that the fan is turned on correctly. If, during such a check, the fan starts working, then you should simply replace the used relay with an operating one.
To check the temperature sensor, from which the signal goes directly to the radiator, disconnect the connector from the sensor, then turn on the ignition. In this case, the automatics starts the fan for constant blowing in emergency mode. In the event that, with such a disconnection of the connector from the sensor, the fan turns on late, then, accordingly, we can conclude that the temperature sensor is out of order, which will require replacement. The temperature sensor itself is fixed with two bolts, which can be unscrewed with a simple Phillips screwdriver. This sensor replacement usually takes no more than 5 minutes.
If the cause of the breakdown is still the fan, you can try to repair it first or immediately replace it with a new one. The problem could be with the bearing or the brushes. In this case, it is possible to replace such damaged parts, which will completely restore the operation of the cooling system fan. If the cause of the fan breakdown is the electric motor, then the repair presents certain difficulties, and it is best to replace such a failed drive with a new one.
To remove a fan with a drive, you must:
- A VAZ 2114 car is installed on a level platform and the parking brake is applied
- Open the hood and de-energize the negative terminal
- Unscrew the air filter housing with a ten
- Loosen the clamps at the duct
- We twist the screws that fix air filter and take out the filter element
- Next, unscrew and dismantle the air intake, which requires a key for eight
- Remove the fan casing, for which 6 nuts are unscrewed with the eighth key
- Remove the motor block
- Remove the driven fan
You just have to install in place new drive or the entire fan assembly and reassemble in reverse order. After such a repair, you should check the correct functioning of the fan, for which we warm up the engine and wait for the blower to turn on.
Conclusion
As you can see, there can be many reasons why the cooling fan on the VAZ 2114 does not turn on. The car owner needs to carry out the appropriate diagnostics, determine the cause of the breakdown and fix it on his own, or completely replace the cooling fan.
The electric fan of the engine cooling system of the VAZ-2114 car is switched on only by a signal from the coolant temperature sensor. But the connection does not take place directly, but through a relay. This electrical circuit is protected by two fuses. If the arrow of the temperature indicator has crept into the red zone of the scale, then turn off the gas, turn on the interior heater fan at full power and look for a place to stop.
The serviceability of one of the fuses located in the mounting block and protecting the electrical circuit of the fan can be checked by simply pressing the beep button. If the signal works, then everything is in order with the fuse, since it also protects the electrical circuit of the sound signal. If it malfunctions, we open the mounting block, look for a 20 amp fuse F5, but before replacing it, you need to find the reason for its failure, otherwise the newly supplied one will burn out in the same way.
To check the second fuse, you will have to remove the console trim on the passenger side. There you will see three relays and next to each of them, there is a fuse. You will need to pull out the middle to check. And again, if it burned out, you need to look for the cause of this phenomenon. With a working fuse, we check the middle relay, since the fan motor is switched on through it. After pulling it out of the socket, inspect its contacts for oxidation. You can check it with an ohmmeter, if it is not there or do not know how to use it, you will have to try to replace it with a serviceable one.
Next, open the hood, disconnect the block with wires from the fan motor and, if there is a pair of wires, connect it directly to the battery. If the fan starts working, then the cause of the malfunction will have to be looked for in the temperature sensor, or the relay and another fuse located next to this relay. Well, if the fan, when connected directly, does not work, then the fault will have to be looked for in it.
The fan may also not work due to the failure of the temperature sensor for turning on the fan. It is located on the cylinder head, above the thermostat. If there is no ohmmeter, we check the method of its replacement. Only the fan switch should not be confused with a sensor working on the coolant temperature gauge.
