Quite often, even the best regular equipment of the vehicle is completely not satisfied with its owner, as a result of which many of them are trying to improve the functionality of their car, resorting to the installation of superlighted equipment. In this case, the installation of the trunk drive is far from last place, which we will tell about this article.

Electric drive trunk, dignity and disadvantages

Usually, the owners of domestic cars (Volga, VAZ and so on) are resorted to such additions (Volga, VAZ, and so on) or the owners of old foreign cars, in which the electric drive system did not provide for the factory.

The electric drive of the trunk lid is represented as a mechanism that consists of a number of interconnected elements: an electric motor, two four-pin relays, pushing rod, fuse and button. There are two types of drives that activate the rod operation to open the doors of the luggage compartment. The most common is the mechanism that is equipped with an electric motor, because it is practical and straightened. A slightly smaller popularity was obtained by a drive, in which the principle of operation is based on the use of magnetic plates. This device is very complex, as a result of which a lot of problems arise during operation.

The principle of operation of such mechanisms is based on the interaction of magnetic plates with a relay and is as follows - when the power supply begins to act, the relay pulls the rod and the lid of the luggage compartment opens. It is not recommended to install the electromagnetic drives of the trunk on the old vazov models, as they are absolutely not practical in the work. In fact, it is possible to carry out the installation, however, it is necessary to carry out a serious reconstruction of the trunk lock, which is usually irrational and problematic, since significant changes in the vehicle body are required.

Radiator electric drive, what reliable factory or self-creating

Before implementing any idea, you should think well and prepare everything you need. In a situation with an electric trunk, first of all, the mechanism itself must be purchased. Today, it is not a problem, because it is easy to find in fact in any automotive spare parts store. Very often, all similar electromechanisms, depending on the manufacturer or other minor design features, differ from each other, but the principle of operation remains the same.

Therefore, some motorists collect the required mechanism at home, however, for the greatest confidence that the end result will be positive, it is advisable to purchase a ready-made device.

Electric drive, which is included

As a rule, the electric drive includes:

1. Wires.
2. Electric motor.
3. Relay.
4. Terminal.
5. Button.
6. Fuse.
7. Instructions for connecting and operating the device.

In addition, a warranty card must be attached to the device, with which the car owner will be able to protect himself from unnecessary problems in the event of a low-quality product with a limited service life.

Devices, Tools and Mounting Materials

For installation work, you will need the following materials and tools:

1. Screwdriwer set.
2. Pliers.
3. Screwdriver.
4. Drill with a drill.
5. Multimeter.
6. It is advisable to purchase additional wires, because it is possible that the lengths of the wires included in the purchased set may not be enough.
7. For fixing and fastening the trim, which, as a rule, is fixed by one-time elements, clips, corrugated tubes and a black heat-resistant isolent should be purchased.

The above described materials and tools are most commonly used in the installation of the trunk electric drive, but depending on the wishes of the car owner and the vehicle model, this list can be expanded.

Installing the electrical part of the drive on the trunk cover, the phased course of work

First of all, you need to remove the battery at the time of work. In most cars, food is served from the positive voltage for twelve volts, but if you have doubts, before starting work it is necessary to clarify the moment, after which you can safely follow the instructions below.

One of the most important conditions for a positive result is the correct placement of wiring, since the functioning of all vehicle systems will depend on its correct work. At best, some devices will not work incorrectly, in worst - there will be a closure, after which it is not always possible to restore electronics and the electrician of the vehicle, not to mention the financial value of such attempts.

It is desirable to lay the wiring where there is already regular wires. In particularly difficult areas, for example, when laying a wire from a car salon to a luggage compartment, you need to use protective corrugated tubes.

Then, respectively, with a selected scheme, the connection of all components should be connected that are located in the trunk. After that, you need to pull the wires to the driver's door. It all depends on the car model - it is more convenient to stretch the wires through the door thresholds, to someone easier to lay the path from above using protective slats. In any case, it is necessary to immediately secure the wires with clamps. If you lack the length of the wire that is included in the kit, take the additionally purchased. Further, with the help of a soldering iron, you must suck the place of the joint and rewind it with a scotch.

Now connect the minus wire to the drive, the second is connected to the main control relay, and the latter is summarized to the alarm - you need to find the control unit (as a rule, it is located under the instrument panel) and use free contacts to connect.

The last thing to be done is to return the battery to the place and check the system for performance. In some cases, the castle lacks the thrust to close the trunk. As a rule, it is easy to eliminate such a problem by installing an additional spring in the lock.

Tips of professionals, how to prevent closures in the electrical part

To prevent closures in the electrical part, you need to arm a multimeter in advance, which will give the ability to check the network voltage. In addition, it is necessary to properly place the wiring. Therefore, in some cases, it is better to entrust your vehicle professionals.
