Car Forum / BMW Cars / October 2008Fuse box on e38
Lost handbook! Can anyone tell me where it is? >Lost handbook! Can anyone tell me where it is? There are two maybe 3 if I remember correctly as I sold mine 2 years ago. Now my car was RHD so it might be opposite but the MAIN fuse box is over the glove box. Open the passenger glove box and unscrew the top cover after removing or unclipping the support straps. You will fid a flap that drops down revealing the fuses with a legend listing the circuits. Another fuse box is over the battery in the boot/trunk on the wheel well panel. Under the hood/bonnet on the "driver's" side RHD probably passenger side LHD there is a box near the windscreen. Remove the cover - 2 clips - and you will find a LARGE master 50A fuse, a couple of other fuses and a few relays. Hope this helps!

Which of these should I look in to find the fuse for the cigarette lighter? >>>Lost handbook! Can anyone tell me where it is? >> [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >the cigarette >lighter? Ah! That's a tricky one. Look at the glove box first - take a torch as it gets dark in there and space is at a premium. If the Cig lighter is live when the ign is off (I don't know as don't smoke) then there is a possibility that it has an in-line fuse - that is one in a clip container in the power lead itself. You should have 2 x cig lighters in that car - does the one in the rear of the centre consul work? Might just be a crap element?

FWIW - I eventually found it - RH side above the battery! |
