Fuse box 2?

WinnieX · 03-12-2010, 04:02 PM

Hi,

Could someone tell me where is second fuse box hidden? I know there is in boot on right side but there should be another one...

Cheers

WinnieX · 03-13-2010, 11:13 AM

BUMP!

... anyone?

dmlgc · 03-14-2010, 12:29 AM

In my poking around the car that's the only one I've seen.

WinnieX · 03-14-2010, 04:06 AM

dmlgc - Thank's mate for reply. At one point i thought my post was invisible like my second fuse box

I will wait for monday and call dealership, hopefully they will point me in right direction...

You got me to thinking so I looked in my owners manual. "in Interior- The fuses are located in the front passenger footwell on the underside of the instrument panel"

picture shows three screws to undo.
hope that helps

Do you know where the list of fuses is located ?
My 2 right angel-eye's ring burned today and cant find a list of fuse locations, the fuse box below the glovebox is a pain in the a$$$ .....
nor even the front one or the trunk one came with a list of fuses....

nope , very good question.
surely BMW doesn't expect us to make an appointment (hassle at any dealer) just to have the fuse replaced.

found it, the list of fuses is on the right side of the rear fuse box, is a piece of heavy paper folded in 3.
Thanks all for your help

Thank's mate - you were right - second fuse box was indeed there!!! Very well hidden i must say

Some compenents use fuses in the both the front and rear compartments so watch the diagram carefully!

Problem solved, took the car to the dealership and it was a burned bulb that gives light to both right angel eye's, the invoice say's is an "H8" bulb, cost me $40 U.S dollars plus $22 installation, kind of expensive bulb.......

That's a rip I bought pair of GP THUNDER 7500K H8 SUPERWHITE GP THUNDER 7500K H8 SUPERWHITE for $16.99 from E92-Lighting.com and installed them myself in about 5 mins, very easy to do.

Let's face it this way, this 3rd world countries like Costa Rica, with just 4 million people are usually expensive in terms of cost for imported items, we pay high import duties almost for any product we import, for example I paid $100,000 US dollars for my 30d X6 with just a couple of extras like sport seats and adaptive lights, no rear camera, no special stereo system, no NAV, 19" wheels, no bluetooth or iPod interface, any car imported must pay 52% in import duties over CIF price ( Cost Insurance Freight) thats the cost of the car at the port of arrival.
Now, I know there are cheaper options in the US market for this specific bulb, but if I had to import , plus shipping, plus duties, it will end higher of what I paid.......
Anyhow it was a rip after all......

dmlgc · 03-18-2010, 09:13 PM

wow 52% , I agree with that kind of burden importing a toothbrush would be a major purchase.
