[@thebeeper1861]

My BMW has lost a ton of electronic functionality, dashboard won’t light up, window won’t stay up, and it doesn’t even light up right without a jumpstart, looks like this and getting a new battery will help out big time, thank you!

[@chewbacag914]

Very clear and concise! Great job!

[@swankypants6227]

Thank you!

[@anyhootyepo654]

Thank you for the education; just learning how to read the fuse chart. I have a question. My cousin and I discovered that fuse #28 in my car has 15 amps. Apparently it originally came that way. However, the chart says there should be 5 amps there. Although the 15 amp has been there for as long as I have owned the car since 2001. My cousin thinks I should replace it with a 5. Please provide your thoughts on this issue. I just want to make sure I do everything possible to continue maintaining the car. Look forward to hearing from you soon. My car is a 2000 323is e46. Thank you!

[@kendtchileninjah5905]

Good catch..did you change it? If so how did it go?

[@debbienicholson6494]

[@jefferytaylor3113]

Yes, Thinking about buying a 94 bmw 530i touring. Seller says they sometimes smell sulfur when driving, I assume the catalytic converter needs to be replaced. Aiso, there mechanic said it has a electrical problem; System overcharging alternator. I assume start by replacing fuse box. Please let my know your opinions on fixing each problem. Thanks kindly.

[@donnymoore03]

Do you need to disconnect the negative battery terminal (or both terminals?) when pulling and replacing bmw fuses?

[@chewbacag914]

Good video. I replaced the battery on my 2002 bmw 325i. Although the car starts right up, I noticed the turn signals don't work, windshield washers don't work and windows don't roll up or down. Any suggestions?. Chewbaca Guil. . 17 seconds ago. . . .

[@aroundth3fur]

Having this issue right now. Any updates on how it was resolved?

[@karikardio]

I just googled your video.I have a 328i BMW 2007 and the dashboard lights not lighting up would this most likely be a fuse? Can I change it myself?

[@remyF30]

Hey bro where can I buy the fuses, it doesn’t matter if it had numbers on it or not ? Or it doesn’t matter

[@tha_sauce4293]

Hello shop life if ur engine control fuse in ur glove box gets blown what does that cause ? Does it make ur car not start? It's a 7.5 fuse mine is blown and the car does not start

[@belalhaidary8515]

Love your videos Kur they're awesome and informative. Also enjoy the vlog channel. I have an '99 E46 323i I recently bought and the key controls don't work, the key has battery and so does the car. I have tried reprogramming the key using methods online but no success. Could you help me, maybe even make a video for others, to suggest fixes such as GM5 modules, antenna issues are some of the things I've come across online but not well described. BTW congrats on the new shop.

[@simplej7409]

[@EddieKM]

Do you know if any fuse from the local store will work? Or does it have to be BMW fuses?

[@nickgnesda2931]

There are some fuses behind and above the panel you are showing. It would be great if you could show them as well. In particular fuse 101 - the engine cooling fan for 1999 to 2000 e46. Thank you

[@marlonthain8923]

I had smoke come from my glove box on the passenger side near the fuse box. Is this a serious issue or a broken fuse ?

[@yokananpamungkas2648]

Dude, I have the problem that my instrument cluster is going crazy, it first happened 2 months ago with a light indicator on right headlight, but my headlight still good but sometimes it's blinking, then a month later my cluster going worse, when the gauge engine at the middle (engine running for a while) my cluster start showing the gearbox light, but I feel that my shifting is good, and at the clock instruments going so messy. and now when I run the car and engine is on that temperature, my cluster show battery indicator and finally, my cluster is dead. And then i watch so much video that most of them suggest to DC the battery and I done it, when I instal the battery again everything is normal until I drive the car and the gauge on the engine heat reach the middle, the battery light comes again and then my instrument cluster is totally dead, but I still can start the engine without any light come on the cluster, I've check battery voltage when engine not running and it's 13V and when the engine running it's 14V and it doesn't drop even I turn on the headlight, music, and AC (can't do cold blow) My car still can do a crank and start but I was so scared driving without any lights on the cluster. Anyone, please help me :( BMW E46 318i 2003 with N42 engine

[@masa4936]

Hi can you help ? My 2005 E46 soft top does not open! I mean no power at all , even when i press the soft top open button there is no light whatsoever! The last time this was working was this time last year and since then i have installed Angel Eyes which i tinkered with the ECU for days to find the ignition wire!.(could this be the cause)? I have checked the x5 relevant fuses with a multimeter for continuity (whilst removed) and they all have power whilst inserted. So what do you think i should be next on the check list thanks

hy do u know fog light have a fuse ? and wath number

[@kp28az]

Hey man so I want to buy a BMW e46 zip and it has already had the coolant system revamp but I don't know how long ago. How long do these coolant revamps last for? The car has 130k

[@kp28az]

BMW zhp****

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

Usually the cooling system starts to fail between 60-100k. At 130 you're probably good for a while but it's better to ask the owner when it was done or check the service book. Even when I diy I write it in the book and the mileage :)

[@kp28az]

Niamh Healy awesome thanks and btw it is a 2004 zhp coupe will full service history, new bushings, control arms, then some there small things. What would you guess that I would need to put aside for one year of ownership(how much cash)? Thanks btw for responding so quick u just gain ONE more sub haha

[@kp28az]

Niamh Healy manual trans as well

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

Haha I only have a few videos of my Son so sorry to disappoint lol. It sounds like your Beemer was well looked after. I usually budget about 1k per year for maintenance. You can go a year without anything needing to be fixed but then the next you might have a pipe here and a sensor there and it adds up. It helps to keep on top of it and if one pipe goes, the others similar to it will be on the way out too so best to do them while you're in there if you get me? Basically, preventative maintenance is best. Try to DIY as much as you can. They're really great cars to work on. Most of all have fun and drive her :)

[@customfittedinc]

Cool

[@Bezonc919]

I need to find out where the radio fuse is and everybody on google and here has just ssid the fuse box, no shit but where exactly

[@Jpopaj386]

where can you buy specific fuses?

[@harolddavis9369]

WAL MART

[@luisenriquesegura2577]

Why do I have constantly replace the ac/ heater fuse?

[@chironjo]

Assuming that this is not a replaced system (in order to eliminate the variable of a wrong part (part that does not comply with the original design specification)) you are most likely to have a corroded cable that is "shorting" to ground when its heats up. Check you cooling fans and compressor and the associated wiring. This is the explanation - Remember, cabling heats up once current is flowing, which happens once your A/C is ON, but the amount of current flowing will depend on the current demand of the circuit it is servicing. Current (electrical current, I mean) demand will depend on the actual environmental condition inside your car. That is, your car is hot inside, you turn the A/C on, then, your system will crank up trying to achieve the temperature set-point. So, the compressor will be drawing its highest current demand to achieve it, and the fans will be at their highest speed. The wiring of these two components (compressor and fans) are the most likely to fail. Good chance your fan is faulty. Give it a try. Sorry; I tried to be brief but this is a fairly complex system and there is not a simple explanation.
