[@frankcastillo5351]

Thank you so much, this is the best video I found to replace those fuses. Very explanatory, it makes the video very easy.

Thank you for the feedback!

It worked! thank you. For RHD F10s the fuse box in the glove box is upside down, so bare that in mind.

[@Servicetutorials]

Ok, thank you for your feedback! 👍

[@biggur5]

Thankyou! I'm in the uk and we have RHD. You are correct! It would have taken me a few days to figure that out! 😂 why dont the just use the correct diagram for the RHD cars! Thanks again

[@sachasresolve]

@@biggur5 oh, I've just been looking in mine and I wondered why the diagram didn't look like what I was seeing. I'm going to go back now and take another look. Cheers

[@sachasresolve]

Update. Yes I turned the fuse diagram upside down and yes I found the 20A fuse that had blown. Cigarette lighter socket now working 💪

[@razfrankel]

I have a battery discharge do you think it’s the battery or a parasite drain cause do you think it’s the Pennie’s in the cigarette lighter I have the same message you think it’s the battery something is causing it?

[@Bellgymnast]

Talk about nailing it. This was the fuse that needed to be replaced.

Can any cigarette adapter provide proper power to charge an iPhone, or do I need the BMW adapter ($36)? Are all USB adapters created equal?

I’ve changed all but still not working

[@Thor4everRichmondhill]

Awesome video !!! U save my $ :)

[@samosasmimosas5831]

how did you get your arm into the hole to see which fuse to pull? im having physical issues there haha!

[@stevecook1946]

Did you find a method? I am having the same issue and my fuse box is the other way round (flipped 180) so the 54 position fuse isn’t even visible without having my head physically in the glovebox, even then I can just about see it.

[@samosasmimosas5831]

@@stevecook1946 I did, just reach in and have faith. I was able to feel around. Others remove the bottom footwell plate (above the feet) to have easier access to the box

[@stevecook1946]

@@samosasmimosas5831 I managed to do it today. I borrowed an endoscope camera from work, set that up so the screen was in the glove box and laid across the centre console and the drivers seat, feet hanging out the door, must have looked very odd in the staff car park. Stuck my hand in and used the screen to see what I was doing.

[@umit307]

I did what u did ,still not working my friend ,what can be?

[@aktyvuspoilsisispanijoje8685]

[@ivanpetrov2280]

The fuses in my glovebox are different mate..... RHD

[@biggur5]

Turn the fuse box diagram upside down. For some reason in RHD cars the set up of the fuse box is upside down. Turn the chart upside down 👍

[@ivanpetrov2280]

@@biggur5 I don't know is that will help. But i found where is the fuse, right top corner, the second from top to the bottom. 20A yellow. Fix the issue.

[@biggur5]

@@ivanpetrov2280 yes because in the fuse box diagram it in bottom left (the 2 yellow 20a fuses) but if you turn the chart upside down then it matches the correct layout .. top right 👍

[@Amimegirl21]

Not for F11!!! Only for F10

[@theelitest5795]

How do I know which fuse in my situation: The orange light is on around the front fuse but it doesn’t power my usb charger YET the rear one is working and they run off the same fuse?
