Fuse: Service and Repair

If an electrical accessory should fail, switch it off and check the fuse.

In the glove compartment:

1 Open the glove compartment and turn the two white quick-release fasteners outward. Spare fuses and plastic tweezers are located on the fuse holder.

2 Use the plastic tweezers to remove the fuse for the accessory or equipment that has stopped working.

3 If the fuse is burned through (the metal strip is melted and separated), replace it with a new fuse of the same ampere rating (color code).

The fuses, their respective ampere ratings and the equipment in their circuits are all indicated below the fuse holder. To close the fuse holder, snap it into position at the top and turn the two fasteners inward.

WARNING! Do not attempt to repair a burned fuse or replace it with a fuse having a different color or amperage rating. To do this could cause a fire in the vehicle resulting from a circuit overload.

If a fuse blows repeatedly, refer the problem to your BMW center for repair.
